Fuck, I lost my pocket knive somewhere.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Yes, that’s how it works. It never occurred to me that I just start changing things without a plan first.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Hahahaha! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net Not my cup of tea.

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, that’s what you get, suckers!

@prologic@twtxt.net Tomorrow is getting hot again and then we might be lucky in that the summer is over.

It would be even funnier if @bender@twtxt.net didn’t have a Sendgrid account in the first place. Good catch!

One last thing before I hit the hay. This endpoint could respond with the raw twt, when asking for text/plain (it serves HTML at the moment). Return the physical line from the feed. Maybe with a comment above for the feed URL. Or doesn’t the registry format also include the URL separated with a tab somehow? I’m too lazy right now to look it up. Also, not sure how useful that would be. Anyway, good night.

@quark@ferengi.one Right, a little rain improves™ the situation so much… :-( Surprise, surprise, our rain has been delayed again.

Good hunting and bon appétit! :-) I never had Puerto Rico’s national dish, but the photos look delicious. Yum!

I also tried ice cream, but I reckon I simply stick to your last tip instead. :-)

I reckon, this is as raw as you can get, @falsifian@www.falsifian.org: curl -sH "Accept: application/json" https://twtxt.net/twt/st3wsda | jq You can piece it together from created and text (and twter.uri).

@quark@ferengi.one Oh shit, second place! :-O

$ du -h .config/twtxt/cache*.db 
13M   .config/twtxt/cache2.db  # contains read status for each twt (very inefficient format)
7,0M  .config/twtxt/cache.db   # the actual cache by the original twtxt reference implementation

Yeah, wrong place for caches.

@bender@twtxt.net I follow feeds that are somewhat interesting to me. At least for the most part.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks for the honor, but I’m not sure why I specifically should be part of a deciding committee here. :-D I get it, I just fear people might misunderstand your message here.

I have to read up on the twtxt registry documentation on the weekend (too tired at the moment), but it should probably be no real issue to integrate that API into yarnd.

When we passed a few horses in the forest, there was really strong soup odor in the air. It didn’t smell like horse at all, but soup. Maybe they’ve been soup horses, chickens were out of stock.

29°C, zero wind, extremely humid, luckily the sun was behind the clouds. I’m soaking wet, sweat ran down in streams and dripped in my eyes, it burned a bit. The sky is getting a little dark, I hope the thunderstorm and rain are really arriving here later. Rain had always been finally cancelled the couple last days.

I’m gotta go cool off my fingers now, they’re swollen from the heat.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, not looking forward to disease-spreading mozzies and critters like that. We must become @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no’s neighbors. :-)

My honey bread fell on the floor and would you believe which side was down? The clean, not the coated one. Witchcraft!

Suddenly, VLC crashes when I jump forward in videos. It’s 100% reproducible. Reboot didn’t fix it. Starting on the shell, I see:

Assertion !p->parent->stash_hwaccel failed at src/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c:649

Turns out, it’s this: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=81068 Before I even went online, I assumed that turning off hardware acceleration might help. And it does. Phew!

Turns out, there are seven species in Germany (two of them being venomous), but in my wider area there seem to be just the two: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Schlangenarten_in_Deutschland Probably just even one, the common European adder is more to the south, just like I thought. But maybe with the climate getting hotter and hotter, they migrate north to me, too.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s a very good approach. I have the feeling that requirements engineering seems to be getting more and more a forgotten art these days.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, right. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Looking at the raw feed, there are a six mentions (even prologic) and a seven subjects. From a few years ago, though. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zero wind here for days. Last year, we saw a long string of satellites passing by when we sat at the scout ground around the fire. That looked weird indeed.

@prologic@twtxt.net We basically have no snakes around here. Just the grass snake and the common European adder. Or so I think. While it’s super hard to come across the harmless first one, it’s even rarer to find the little bit dangerous latter. Both are very shy. I never saw an adder. They probably do not live here in my area. A workmate told the other day that he accidentally run over one with this bicycle as a schoolboy, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I was happily suprised that the grass snake was still in this good shape.

I’ve no idea. Not sure how well frogs or toads see in the dark, but I would think if there is some noise coming towards you, you escape away and not towards it. Maybe they did not recognize me as a threat but were just curious?

This larger individual was also a frog or toad. :-) It didn’t freak me out at all, it was super cool to watch. But I thought, what an idiot. :-D I mean, hopping against me once is alright, but then trying again is a bit silly. It then stopped and sat next to my boot. About half a centimeter away. I waited a few seconds and carefully moved on.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sure, but I would have expected that I would have read about it somewhere at least once. Anyway.

Very cool, fingers crossed, @off_grid_living@twtxt.net! A simple wooden frame, like four posts and and a rectangle on top, to support the fabric/nets should suffice, wouldn’t it? No need to build full sheds, I’d say. But I’m not a farmer at all.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Huh, this is the first time I heard of IBM WebExplorer.

I’m out of shape. I decided to walk up the local mountain to watch the sunset, but I arrived five minutes late, even though I sped up at the end. Should have started my journey ten or fifteen minutes earlier. I saw the setting sun at foot, but the photos were total disasters.

On the way there I picked two handful of blackberries in the forest. Delicious!

Today was the second time in my life that I saw a grass snake in the wild. They can easily be recognized by the yellow “ears”. Unfortunately, this one was run over. :-( But I jumped at the opportunity to photograph it as it didn’t escape in a fraction of a second like my first encounter three years ago. Still, poor fellow. :-(

Run over grass snake

On the way home, a deer jumped out of the brush in front of me and headed down the forest road before it went back in the other side. As always, that’s nice.

I also had to slow down a bunch of times because of frogs or toads on the paths. Not sure which ones, it was already after dark. I guesstimate it must have been 60-70 amphibians in total, maybe more. Some of them did not move to the wayside but rather into the middle of the track, right in front of me. Crazy suicide frogs! There were four reeeeaaaallly close calls. I could just avoid stepping on them after they tried to hop right under my boot. Not a centimeter to spare. No toads were harmed during my trip. Phew!

Once I had to stop completely because of the large activity ahead of me. A larger (about the size of half a palm) individual surrounded my foot and then jumped against my heel. Twice! What the heck!? :-D But suuuper cool experience. I’m very glad I actually went out. Totally worth it. I met so many amazing animals. Don’t care about the missed sunset a single bit.

@bender@twtxt.net Nope, still don’t have a mobile one. Works extremely well for me. :-)

Temperatures begin to drop a bit for the night, phew. https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-08-30/01.jpg

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Haha, great! :-)

Just returned from an evening walk. We met a young slow worm, a bunch of small frogs, about the width of a pointing finger and a bucket load of sweat. It’s bloody hot and humid. Also, heaps of ripped trash bags in the forest and lake. :-( No photos, it was too exhausting to even carry my pocket camera.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lol, someone just showed me this brilliant German (Saxon, actually) song. The title Hitzetodcheck translates to “heat death check”. Sorry to all non-German speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qHH3RO_X34

I’m also ready absolutely ready for winter.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yep, --open-registrations=false has to also use the equal sign, just like the short form, otherwise it’s activated. At least that’s consistent. But, is has no effect, if the settings.yaml claims something different.

I have the impression that command line flags only take effect the first time you start yarnd. Unless the option has no pendant in the config file, such as -A/--admin-user $user. Since -A is not a boolean, but takes a string, you are free to use a blank or an equal sign…

It’s this package: https://github.com/spf13/pflag?tab=readme-ov-file#command-line-flag-syntax

I also noticed and fixed the typo. 8-)

Yeah, user error on my end, never mind. The persisted settings.yaml overrides the command line arguments. That’s surprising to me. I expected the command line options to overrule the config file. Oh well.

@quark@ferengi.one :-P

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hmmm, so it is permanent damage. Damn! :-( I’m no electronics guy, but I’d suspect it to be broken, if unplugging it and plugging it in again doesn’t fix it. Kinda doubt that a repair shop will get it going again. I have no idea where I would bring it over here. The best I can think of is to ask the volunteers at the repair café if they have any suggestions, I reckon they’re not able to fix it either. But that place is only open once a month.

How much of your screen is gone by now? Looks like a lot.

Wow, crazy. A decade ago, I think I only experienced power outages three or maybe four times in my entire life. Since then, they became a bit more frequent. Probably five or six, maybe more. Not sure how many of these events are attributed to construction incidents, where an excavator ripped a power line apart. Last time, loggers threw a tree in an overhead power line, so the power company had to disconnect my area from the grid.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You can also use -R=false on the command line or leave it out entirely. When explicitly stating -R=false, there has to be an equal sign. With a space (-R false) it’s somehow parsed as -R which is equivalent to -R=true. O_o Very weird. I’d really like to see an error instead.

I still have to figure out the precedence of the settings.yaml or command line arguments. I’m probably holding it wrong, but it seems to give me different results…

@quark@ferengi.one @movq@www.uninformativ.de A general workaround in these cases is to wrap the command in a shell script and reference said script instead.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Oh, shoot! The broken rows are permanent? Looks like you’re the king of power outages. :-( How frequent do you experience blackouts?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Phew, that was a close call.

@quark@ferengi.one Enjoy! :-)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bwhahaha! :‘-D

@mckinley@twtxt.net Wow, I was not aware, that there are different kinds of blackberries. But of course there are. Everything has all sorts of different species, why would it be different with these tasty guys? :-)

I just read up on them and – surprise, surprise – it turns out, the Himalayans are not native to most of Europe either. Doh! It gets even more interesting, their origin is unclear. Maybe Armenia and the Caucasus region. Fascinating!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Right, what can possibily go wrong!? ;-)

It’s funny that you mention it, too. We also were quite surprised that it was incredibly quiet in nature. Not just no man-made noise (we obviously avoided the crowds), not even in the distance, but also hardly any birds. We joked they’re still exhausted from the heat of the days before and still resting.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Thank you for using Lyse’s Unofficial Yarnd Help Desk: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/yarnd-disable-registrations.png

@prologic@twtxt.net Or c) you click on a link somebody gave you. My brain is a bit dead now, but that might be a problem when you’re logged in.

Today, I learned about vim "+normal $", how cool! :-) Thanks @quark@ferengi.one!

I just learned from a German documentary that there is goldbeating. Never heard of that term before. Super interesting.

@prologic@twtxt.net Great! Git knowledge is helpful in a lot of situations. What’s the website about? You both had some fun writing HTML by hand? :-)
