In-reply-to » i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it's just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it's an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it's capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn't gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i'm ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i'll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh nah it came out like that lol! i actually love how squished it looks it feels accurate lol

oh yeah i think i might have a tripod around but i do need a sandbag or something i could use as one. maybe yeah a giant bag of rice could work LOL. thanks for the tips!!! i took a video class last year in college and we worked with cameras and tripods with sandbags so it was on my mind

In-reply-to » need to come up with ideas for camcorder videos... i have one but it's just 'talk in front of camera about fave songs i listened to in 2024' and i wanna do more fun things even though rambling in front of cam is already fun af

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

In-reply-to » fighting for my life trying to learn golang WHAT THE FUCK IS A POINTER (rhetorical)

@prologic@twtxt.net oh it’s ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i’m having but i will figure it out!

my friend is getting into snh48 and its sister groups and it makes me miss being a fan but my oshi (shen mengyao) graduated so i don’t have any reason to follow them. but the thing about snh48 is that it’s a group full of messy toxic lesbians with mental problems so there is always some wild ass drama going on. you can never leave snh48 standom

In-reply-to » my camcorder battery & mini dvds came in the mail so i did a test recording! it's so cool i love the crap quality. i do hope the memory stick arrives soon though because for the discs i can't get them on my computer (not even a rom drive filesystem mount) without "finalizing" the disc which is like an old camcorder thing. i still think i'll prefer disc recording though even if a limit of 30 minutes (or longer for lower quality) is strict. i like limitations like that

@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz anyway when i get the memory stick i will record something silly and exclusive for yarn friends i can’t wait <3

@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think what i love about “retro” (relative to me because i was born 2004) is that it has friction but in a different way than modern tech does. sure there’s friction with getting a video from your phone to a computer unless you’re a nerd like me with android and syncthing. but not only is that something that could be but isn’t easier, it’s just… it makes sense for a camcorder from ~2009 to have the kind of friction it does

In-reply-to » it's epic that twtxt slash yarn doesn't have reposts or likes. it's just chill. replies and posting is all a site needs

X, The Everything App, wishes it had literal yarn threads smh my head. also twtxt is so cool like i love that yarn is a frontend for it but also its own thing. all plaintext… coolest shit ever

In-reply-to » i like this little ideas utility i've been using like i keep pulling up the idea table to see what i've added and it makes me wanna start one of them like the CLI app i wanna write in golang with charmbracelet's bubbletea even though i only have a vague idea of what i want in a CLI app

@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’ve really wanted to make one of those sites you can curl that’s terminal friendly but looks different on the browser like how does wttr.in do it… magic

In-reply-to » I am now proud to say, that as of this moment, I am off of Clownflare 🤣 Still using Cloudflare for DNS, but no longer proxying through their services or terminating TLS at their edge. Instead, all my sites and services now terminate TLS on my own edge proxy running Caddy+Wireguard (so all ingress is actually egress 🤣) 🥳 #Clownflare #Cloudflare

@prologic@twtxt.net YAYYY fuck cloudflare!!! caddy+wireguard amazing combo

In-reply-to » really wanna make an ssh zine app inspired by a telnet zine cms i found on github. i'm gonna probably go ahead with the telnet zine idea i have if i can get people for it but if i could build my own ssh mirror for it with golang and the charmbracelet wish library that'd be epic

@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is that telnet zine cms by the way, it’s epic https://github.com/caraesten/dial_a_zine

asciinema is really cool. thought about self hosting my own upload site which they have docs for but i don’t need to host everything even if it’d be a fun project. the default/main site is fine enough for me when i won’t be uploading a whole lot.

being a k-pop fan in nerd circles means no one will ever take you seriously. the solution is to be so unserious and insane that it wraps back around to people taking you seriously as you do cool things while being deeply unserious

i’ve transitioned text editors from nano (yeah i know) to micro and god micro is just so much better i did not know there was a CLI text editor i could use with sensible keyboard shortcuts that did not leave me feeling like i’m typing nuclear codes to do simple tasks like saving and editing

In-reply-to » tried building the yarn social app for android but wahhh android studio and flutter scare me... big ass IDEs and SDKs and shit not worth it
