In-reply-to » A cold and foggy day. 🥶

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh man, this is beautiful! We had sunshine all day long. But it was cold, too. When I left the house in the late afternoon, the sun was creating this magical red light. I just hit the right time, all the autumn colors popped out like crazy when I walked down the street. Didn’t bring my camera, though.

In-reply-to » I'm very glad that I decided to have a very long lunch break today. When I reached the summit, dark clouds came from the northwest and the sun was gone for the day. But on the way there I was delighted about all the beautifully blazing colors around me. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-11-25/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ll ask them when I see somebody around next time. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Exactly, that’s a really weird “r”. The only thing I can think of is that the wooden letters were cut out on a bandsaw. Whoever made the sign wanted to avoid cutting a hole in an uppercase “R”, because they had no jigsaw on hand. So, they went with the lowercase one.

We had 5cm snow at our scout yard at 10 o’clock. But it was nearly fully gone when we called it quits after sunset.

In May we charred cloth to be used as tinder. A fire steel and some wood shavings lit the fire in under a minute. Maybe half. That was good fun. I reckon I have to replenish the charred cloth soon, though. It’s crazy how great that works. I’m absolutely amazed.

We cut back the thorny brushes for hours and eventually winched out some heavy fallen trees. That was really cool to see this powerful winch in action. Absolutely effortless. It was also a complete one man show. We couldn’t do anything and just watch. There is no chance that we could have moved the tree trunks up the steep hill with just man power. Well, a few dozen people might have made it with great struggle.

Next time we have to cut them into smaller pieces and split them into firewood or keep some for contruction. I will see whether I can safe some to cut some boards from. A sawmill would be really cool to have. :-)

In-reply-to » It’s been so rainy and windy and cold these last few days, I hardly left the house. 😩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yesterday, it was relatively nice at 11°C or so. Very windy and completely gray, though. Today, the sun was out at roughly just 5°C. The colors glowed much more in reality than in the photos: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2024-11-20/

I finally changed the broken gear shift bowden cable of my bicycle in a longer lunch break.

In-reply-to » Time to rotate three months into archive feeds again.

@bender@twtxt.net My made-up rule is to keep at least three full months in the main feed and when rotating, I create one feed per month.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt There is no real recommendation I think. But if you hit half a MiB or so, it might be worth considering to rotate in order to keep the network traffic low. People with bad connectivitiy might appreciate it. I want to implement HTTP range requests in my client rewrite at some point in time (but first, it has to become kinda usable, though).

In-reply-to » I didn’t realize that the queens of our very common black ants are huge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjbAsdiE7ZI

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When looking closely in the woods, I can spot ants that are sized the width of a finger. Soldier ants are also often larger than the workers they protect. But yeah, most ants in our regions are relatively small. :-)

In-reply-to » Giving paper notebooks another try. I love paper notebooks. The problem is that I'm very chaotic writing my ideas.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m all in on paper. In fact I noted down a todo item today on a physical sheet of paper when I was on the phone with a workmate. It then occurred to me that I could have just written it in a scratch file.

The parchment, on the other hand, might be a bit wasteful for just temporary ideas that are not perfectly layed out yet.

In-reply-to » Numbers are hard. I just almost accidentally sent 33k€ to someone via bank transfer, because the banking website interpreted 334.90 as 33490,00. 😬 This is germany, so it wants a comma, not a dot …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the Swiss and C++ programmers use apostrophes. :-) My grandpa had an electronic desk calculator that also used some kind of apostrophes as the thousands separator on its cool display. Maybe it consisted of Nixie tubes, can’t remember anymore.

I think non-breaking spaces are preferred nowadays to avoid the confusion.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The dot is the thousands separator, so I’m surprised that it did not interpret it as €334,900.00. Luckily, you caught it in time! :-)
