@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Reminds me of: https://img.ifunny.co/images/d07b9a2014e3b3901abe5f4ab22cc2b89a0308de8a21d868d2022dac7bb0280d_1.jpg :-D

@sorenpeter@darch.dk @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Right. Also, generally speaking, if you come across a new feed URL, it’s probably either via some mention in another feed or the User-Agent in your access log. Both cases typically advertise also a display name. So, you just reuse whatever you’ve seen there.

I saw a paraglider after sunset. Must have been super cold up there in the sky, we just had 1-2°C on the ground. And I passed a heron at just 5-6 meters distance. I think that’s a new record low. The sunset itself wasn’t all that shabby either. Hence, a very good stroll.

I don’t get why displaying nick@domain is preferred over just @nick in the first place. The twtxt world here is so small (and hopefully will always be) that duplicate nicks are just not an issue from my point of view. And even if there are several feeds with the same nicks, one probably does not follow both of them. Yes, there’s the birthday paradox, but I’d guess we have a slightly larger nickname space than days in a year.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Absolutely! Truly amazing work and excellent explanations.

I’m pretty sure they didn’t tell us this in school either.

I don’t remember what topic it was, but some of the maths lectures at uni were heaps better in linking several matters together. In school we were always told: And now for something completely different, we start a new topic, so when you kids haven’t understood the previous one, worry not, now you got the chance to maybe get this one and improve your maths grade. Only at uni we were actually taught that it’s in fact basically exactely the same thing as something else, just with some slightly tweaked rules. If I only were told this a decade earlier or so. It would have made stuff sooo much easier.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm, works here. Maybe some temporary problem that has been fixed by now?

In case somebody needs a calculator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0pJST5mL3A

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, no worries. :-)

You are clearly a time traveler, @xuu!

@prologic@twtxt.net That also has the downside of fitting right in the write-only code category. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ha, that’s cool, I wasn’t aware of 2024 being one of these years.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, a movqOS, that’s super cool! :-)

Yeah, glossy screens are straight from hell. :-D What’s this spooky wind chime background music?

Anyway, have great fun learning more and experimenting with this low level stuff!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately, there is no shortage of terrible UI designers. To be fair, I’m probably one of them when it comes to the point.

Danke, @arne@uplegger.eu. Ich werde berichten.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, nice! :-D This is the real one today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-12-20/01.jpg It was a bit more intense some minutes ago, though.

Moin @arne@uplegger.eu, herzlich willkommen! Ich bin gerade auf https://uplegger.eu/blog/popelfinger gestoßen und war sofort sehr begeistert. :-D Mal sehen, ob ich die anderen an einem der Feiertage davon überzeugt bekomme, das mal auszuprobieren. :-)

Sunset:

Sunset in the oven

No, of course not. This is the gingerbread in the oven with my digicam’s sunset program. The second photo shows the colors more like they are in reality. It surprises me every year how absolutely sticky this dough is. Holy cow! Close to impossible to spread it evenly in the baking tray. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/lebkuchen-2024-12-20/

Glad you like them, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com. Anytime!

In the short horizontal rain stroll a few minutes ago I noticed that my rain trousers leak around the right knee.

This is a very nice article from 20 years ago, probably still valid: The Command Line – The Best Newbie Interface? https://www.osnews.com/story/6282/the-command-line-the-best-newbie-interface/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yep, 14 is a house martin tower: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwalbenhaus There are a few around here, although most of these nesting boxes are actually not on dedicated towers, but attached at the roof overhangs of private houses.

It was a nice sunny arvo: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-12-18/

@mckinley@twtxt.net No, no, it’s not dead, it’s resting! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218)

Ta, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, yummy. It’s one of the very few good christmas songs in my opinion.

Coconut macaroon

Brilliant, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I didn’t think of the keystore! :-D

Me too, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com, I don’t know how many entire books I had to rewrite because of Ctrl+W irreversibly deleting the entire chapter.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting! I always use uBlock Origin to do that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Did it work!? :-D

With these programmable keyboards today, one could easily make the keyboard type the entire password with one key stroke…

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Not only the print quality, but the t-shirt itself was often an issue in the past I’ve found. To be fair, my experience is from a decade ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, you showed this keyboard stand some time ago. I completely forgot about that.

@eapl.me@eapl.me @bender@twtxt.net @skinshafi@thunix.net The feed that nobody follows out of fear.

When I started programming in Delphi, I always included all the files (not only the *.exe, but also *.pas and what else there was) when giving friends my programs on floppy disks. I didn’t know that the executable was technically enough. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You won’t believe how happy I was when I turned off my work machine a few minutes ago. It feels absolutely amazing! :-D

Despite being a gray day, I still decided to have a longer lunch break and went for a stroll in the woods: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-12-12/ Just returned in time for the next meeting.

Fern

No surprise, @skinshafi@thunix.net, they can be easily mixed up. See, the hemming distance between prologic and _doesnm__ is just 7! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fear not, there is probably Paint on DOS! :-D

On a more serious note, what things did you 3D-print?

Yeah, @eapl.me@eapl.me, I kinda like file extensions in some situations. What do you think of twtxt.exe, @bender@twtxt.net? ]:->

Yeah, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! “Sorry boss, I accidentally removed the bug report, because the button suddenly materialized under my cursor.” :-D

Luckily, I do not have to deal with that UI from hell for three and a half weeks very soon.

Agreed, @bender@twtxt.net, bad typography always kills it for me, too.

@prologic@twtxt.net Maybe Becky mistyped, she’s a ninja and wanted to show off her naked sword. :-D

I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! I have to wait five seconds after opening any Jira ticket before the JS garbage has eventually fetched all the other information and rebuilt the DOM. Only then I can actually begin to scroll down to the information I’m after. Every fucking time.

@anth@a.9srv.net I envy you. I should have chosen that filename, too.

Thank you @bender@twtxt.net and @movq@www.uninformativ.de!

I partially fixed the code block rendering. With some terrible hacks, though. :-( I see that empty lines in code block still need some more work. There are also some other cases around line continuation where the result looks ugly. I have to refactor some parts to make this go more smoothly and do this properly. No way around that.

Code block look slightly better

Turns out, my current message text parser does not even parse plain links. That’s next on the agenda.

Oh, I also noticed that this thing crashes when there is not enough space to actually draw stuff. No shortage of work. Anyway, time is up, good night. :-)

Finally, the message rendering in my tt Go rewrite produces some colors. There is definitely a lot more tweaking necessary. But this is a first step in the right direction.

Showing off message rendering in tt2

@bender@twtxt.net There’s a lot of unused space left on the house!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! I find it funny what brain autocorrects can come up with. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Heck yeah, gorgeous! Did you hike up there?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuh, nice! Despite the weather service claiming that it is snowing at this very moment, there is absolutely nothing here.

It just worked fine like nothing had ever happened when I booted my laptop this morning.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ; \m/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D
