@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool! what language is used for the coding?

Moved more snow today than ever before. Terrace is now ready for use. -10c out, tomorrow we’ll sit there with the portable fire pit, make some food on it :) this week has been crazy, but now it’s weekend and time to relax a bit.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org not normal, last time there was this much was 10 years ago. Highway got shut down back then, with people stuck, remember a colleague of mine who got stuck on his way home after work and was still stuck the next morning on highway.
The amount of snow we got this time was a bit shocking, schools has been closed for 3 days (but open tomorrow), all public transport got shut down yesterday (but running again now).

Helped pur neighbour today, climbed over to them from second floor, and dug down to the veranda door from roof height, so now they can look out their windows again :) over the weekend I have to get rid of all the snow on our terrace, almost 2 meters there now. But it has stopped snowing now, so its nice to get a break after this.

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz go for it!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org we found out she was actually home, so I helped her get the car out of the way. So all is good now :)

One car was parked half way into garage yesterday, and owner went away, and now snow cannot be cleared because they cannot get past the car (dead end street). So the owner fucked up for everyone here. No one can get anywhere. Pisses me off.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wind is pretty bad about -15c in wind chill, I should have snowgoggles, but the cap helps (can just tilt head down in the worst wind). Been a crazy day, walked the dog 5km, came home, took over a meter of snow off veranda, helped 2 cars that was stuck on our street, helped neighbour showeling the snow to get his car in, then dug out our car (just in case we need it), and then had to walk to the store (2km) and back because you cant get car out from our street tonight. So for the rest of the evening Im not doing nothing. Haha
They closed svhools tomorrow as well because of the chaos.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org too dark now, but Ill see what I can do tomorrow :)

Oh wow, we got almost a meter of snow over night, took over 2 hours to get the car space cleared.
Now I have to take the snow off the veranda, and clear some in the garden (Nanook is acting up today, he loves the snow, so will clear some out around the fence, so that he can be out all day if he wants).. I do not want to do a long walk in this weather..)

Happy new year to all of you, will be exciting to see what this year will bring!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah, with proper clothing its pretty nice. After I came home it turned into snow, and it snows really hard, so tomorrow I have the fun task of clearing as much as I can :)
Its about 2 at night now, just walked the dog after fireworks has calmed down. He was super excited to see all the snow.. but now its time for some sleep :)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org had 2 long walks with Nanook in the rain today, foreworks has started, but he does not care at all ( which is really nice). Getting colder tonight, so itll snow a bit the next days.

That snow sadly turned into rain instead :(

Wow, we can get up to a meter of snow in a very short time here, proper snowstorm! Exciting! Also next week the temp drops, cold from siberia comes here, so it’ll probably stick around for a while. :)

I like coding on stuff, but I rarely spend time in unreal engine, or godot, but I still want to code on some game stuff once in a while. I think I’ve found what I’ve been looking for to test out - #raylib https://www.raylib.com/ , I want to recreate one of my older (outdated) projects that I did a while back in godot, but make the same with raylib. Also it would be cool to use the USD ( https://openusd.org/release/index.html ) library that me and a friend is coding - to then implement it and load USD scenes in raylib, that would be very nice, that way I get to work on both the USD library, and code some game stuff at the same time, always nice to combine things.

@prologic@twtxt.net 👍🏻👍🏻

@darch@neotxt.dk That looks really nice! Cool feature!

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you! And same to you and your family :) christmas tree is ready, food in the oven, gonna be nice tonight :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, they have that here too, couches and such, you pay extra for that. But they have 5 halls, and we went to the smallest one. Luckily not sitting next to anyone sick :) haha, but yeah, it crossed my mind.. Have not caught anything recently, and a bit risky to go to packed places right before Christmas, but it went fine this time :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, it costs a lot here too (500 NOK for tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids), and about 200 NOK for some candy there.. (2 sodas, and 2 other items).. But we do not do it often, so I do not think too much of it.
But yeah, it costs a lot.

We went to the cinema tonight, was really nice to be there and see a movie with the kids :)
We saw a classic Norwegian Christmas movie - a new movie in the ‘Jul i skomakergata’ series.

Last day at the office for the rest of the year! Looking forward to have some proper time off to spend with my family :)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hehe, we won :) but they did good!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice!

Had a really nice time with my daughter at her volleyball practice today, all parents got to play against the kids, it was super fun! Been a long time since I’ve had this much fun, was so nice to be there with her tonight!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ooff, same here :(

Started on a activitypub client, gtk4, c, made on OpenBSD, been quite nice learning experience so far, a bit adjustment from the usual way I do things. I have not done a project in pure c before.
Got token stuff sorted, and posting, next is getting the timeline (and gui for that etc).

Hope you all are doing well :)

Dragged Marlyn and our kids out tonight to see the northern lights. Never seen it with my own eyes until tonight.

It’s weekend again, time to chill.
Weekends means family time, long hikes and late nights with the TV.
I’m done with the long walk for today, and kids are busy with friends, so now I sit on my laptop for a bit.

Image

Image

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hm, thanks for letting me know, unsure why it’s slow, it’s a VPS I rent. I’ll check on it from my end later.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah yes, I zoomed all the way back to get a wide image. Yeah - he’s pretty big :)

Image

Image

Today it’s cold, a bit of snow in the air. I’ll head out for a long walk in a bit, I’ll go a new place, a 9km trail. I’ll try to remember to take some pictures.
Wish you all a great Saturday!

@prologic@twtxt.net sunrise ;) was nice this morning, one of the best things with this time of year.

Image

Had a nice walk in the forest tonight, me, Nanook and all the deer.

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net 😁

@prologic@twtxt.net https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristiansand

Today I started my day getting up early, dog woke me up at 08:30, I then went for a 2 hour walk in the forest next to our city center. I hiked through there, down through the city and then around and back to the car. Was nice to see Nanook’s progress on walking through the main street, he’s can get overwhelmed there at times, and start to jump and nip etc, can be stressful when there is a lot of people around, because he’s a big dog. But I have trained a lot on that, because he does the same thing at a parking lot I usually walk through on our regular walks, so each time I’ve taken that walk I walk through there, and when he starts acting up I just ask him to sit, and when he sits he gets a treat, and we then resume the walk, if he walks fine he gets a new treat, if he acts up I tell him to sit again. I’ve done this over and over.. And now at our walk through the main street - I could do the same thing, so much less stressful :) And makes it a joy to walk there.

Finally weekend. Came home from work, walked the dog for an hour. Now it’s time to relax for the rest of the day :) Will probably sit on the computer a bit tonight. Not sure what I’ll do there yet, but I’ll figure something out for sure.

@prologic@twtxt.net I only use it so that family that follow me can see the images I post.
I do not browse around and spend time there, just check what family and friends have posted.
But still - makes me mad that they put that tracking infront of a paywall like that.
Hate putting money in zuckerberg’s pocket.
Same with VR - you need a meta account to use the oculus.. and you get full screen notification inside the VR headset if you do not use that.. Luckily there is a trail going on in Norway now..

@prologic@twtxt.net NOK, so about 15 usd

Did not expect anything less from meta. Pay or we will track you. Should be illegal.

My daughter started with indoor sand volleyball yesterday, she is now going to go there 2x a week, so happy that she found something she likes, her best friend started too - so they will go together there :)

I have not been feeling good the past two days, caught a cold. So yesterday I was very lazy, luckily the kids where busy with their things, and Marlyn took Nanook to the dogpark to let him blow off some steam. Today I feel much better, so I headed out early for a 5km walk in the forest with the dog before everyone got up this morning. When I came home my daughter went to her friends house, so she will probably be gone for the rest of the day, and my son is playing games with his friends. Its still raining a lot here, but I managed to do to the walk in between the rain. Now Im working some more on the laptop I installed OpenBSD on this weekend. Getting more stuff set up on it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, it worked fine when It installed from mirror :) I had same issue in virtualbox. I suspect its the same problem. But now I have it installed the way I like it, encrypted, and lxqt desktop on my laptop.

First issue I ran into is rapidjson, there is no package for it, but it compiled from source without google tests. But I did not check what version I had on my debian machine, so I need to check that and compile the same version on openbsd. Ill work on that tomorrow.

Got latest OpenBSD installed on one of my laptops, now Ill try and get the desktop client to work there. This will be fun!

Been working for two weeks straight, so now Im going to relax and enjoy the weekend. What are you all up to this weekend?

All day today I’ve been feeling like I could fall a sleep any minute.. Gonna be nice to get the kids to bed, then put on netflix and fall a sleep on the couch tonight.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I checked the local police twitter, and they always post if it’s important stuff. And due to it’s location I’m sure other heard it as well when it happened. I’m thinking maybe it was a deer hit by a car or something that needed to be neutralized.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org they did not shoot the dog, some other animal.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de Very good for mind and body!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, I had a experience this weekend as well, a dog was barking in the forest, sounded like something was wrong (it’s a fairly public area), I then continued my walk, and Nanook got more and more nervous, I then continued the walk, and Nanook froze. I could still hear the dog barking quite close. And then someone shot a rifle. I’m glad I did not walk up to where that dog was, I kinda wanted too, because I first thought maybe something was wrong. But it honestly weirded me out that they did this in such a place as they did, almost called the cops to be honest to check with them, but I did not at the time..

You can now click on a nick in the desktop client to open their twtxt file in browser.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Hope you get well soon! :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! Always nice to do a walk, and fun to test stuff like GPS and such :) I’ve been walking a bit as well today, but also had some nice time at home, I work a bit this weekend, so I’ve spent some time on that. But also we went to the mall and such. Now we’re baking pizza. And will watch a movie or something when the kids has gone to sleep tonight. :)

How are you all doing today? :)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Never used that. i typically just use official debian testing image to install with.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 😂

Finally went to a place I’ve been wanting to go to for a long time. There used to be train tracks here, but now it’s a gravel road and nature reserve. I had my biike and he ran for many kilometres. 2 degrees, rain, forgot my gloves, but it was all worth it :)

Image

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow! Very nice!

A storm is coming tonight as well, highest wind in 10 years… level orange all day tomorrow. Fingers crossed 😅

The wind settled, went for my usual walk instead. Was a lot of other people out today there with their dogs, so was nice to chat with some of them.

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net I want one of these next time Im upgrading my GPU

A 7 year old boy has been missing in a forest since Sunday after he got away from his family that he was on a hunt with, its the biggest search party In a long while that has been looking for him, hundreds and hundreds of people, some has been helping out with drones (and driven 800km to get there), and search dogs from all over Norway joined. And sadly today they found a dead person there. It’s really sad. Been thinking about him every day, and especially when I go to bed, and then think that this 7 year old has been missing outside, at night alone etc. weather has not been nice either. Ooooffff…

My son was with his friend playing soccer yesterday, his friend needed some medicine (broken tooth pain) - so he called home and his brother flew a drone with medicine to him and landed on the soccer field😁😂

testing https://duckduckgo.com test test

Today I’ve been working on something that I’ve really missed, and that is clickable links in the desktop client, finally figured out how they work. So now you can click on them and it opens the browser. I need to clean it up before I commit it.

Image

Very nice!

Was raining so much, so I did not take pictures today, but I took this now at least, haha

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Weather sucks here today, but I have a long walk planned for this afternoon (want a tired dog tonight :)
I’ll walk by the cannon museum that we have close to where I live (I often walk there).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristiansand_Cannon_Museum

Weekend is getting close!
We have a packed weekend for sure, but it’ll be a nice one :)
Hope you all get to have a nice day!
What are you all doing this weekend? Anything cool?

So, a husky will pull. Tried all kinds of training for it, but his pulling does not go away, often it’s OK when we walk with a regular collar, but he can also pull crazy hard with that - he just does not care if he chokes. when I walk with harness - he can pull as much as he wants\needs (since we both have one). But the problem is that he still pulls as hard on leash, tried one of those ‘slip’ leashes for a good while, but he could not care less.
So today I bought something else (see attached image (not my dog in the image)). And this thing is magical, honestly.
He does not like to have it on much yet, but I can now hold the leash with one finger. And the thing is that when you use this - they most likely will learn from that and walk nice on regular leash as well.

So yeah, just wanted to mention it, since it works better then anything else I’ve tried.

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you for doing that! :)

I had some time to code this afternoon, so I have made some polling now, so if a task is not completed it waits 2 secs and tries again, if the server reports a error in the task it stops polling, when the task is successfull it will add the resulting image tag to the status input field. Quite pleased with this now. After this I’ll work on ‘view conversation’, meanning you can open a conversation and see all posts in it, that’ll make it even easier to follow conversations and to reply etc.

@prologic@twtxt.net https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient

And I do distrohop a lot, but now I’m sticking with debian (I promise :p ), always end up back on it..

I’ve been on OpenSuse tumbleweed for some months, but I’ve been having issues with kdevelop and vscode, not showing includes and stuff like that correctly (and not compiling stuff, had to work in editor, then compile through commandline), making it a pain to develop on. Never figured out what the issue was, so I switched back to debian tonight, got everything working, so now I can code efficiently again. Feels good.

@prologic@twtxt.net that would make me proud. Ill add more description and screenshots to the readme so that people can see more easily what it looks like etc. I also want to make ready packages for it, and see if I can crosscompile for windows as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net I do that now, and all that works, it’s just that I do not (currently) check it multiple times, in the test I did it completed as soon as the image was uploaded. But yeah I have to do some more with that for bigger files for sure. I’ll look into that next.

No polling yet, but that part is important as you say, I will need to implement that. Now I have the pieces I need at least :)

it sure worked! Woho! I will clean it up and get it pushed as soon as possible. Done for tonight.

Image

Started on it tonight, got the file pick dialog to work, so now I just need to get the json stuff to work.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it worked yesterday, but today hes all over the place, not calming down much. We’re going to burgerking later today, so he’ll get some crate time in the car then (he always relaxes when he’s in the car).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! I just came home from a long walk myself. Walked through the forest, and then by the roads. Now the dog is sleeping. I like to wear him out a bit in the weekends so that we get some proper ‘time off’ in the evening etc :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure, I’ll do that!
Thank you so much, I’ll start working on getting it into the client tonight.

@prologic@twtxt.net - I do not want to nag about it - but did you find some way to post image through curl? (Or could you share the almost-working solution that you tried?), if you have not had time - then that’s fine too. I want to start looking into it again :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, so hard to just get along. It’s been conflict there for a long time, but still… What would it take for it to end?

Its nuts. Im a bit lost for words to be honest. Such a shock-attack, and taking civilians as hostages, shooting them, killing them, torture, kidnap kids and so on. Oooffff. Wonder what the response and aftermath will be..

Israel , hamas etc. been crazy there since last night.

Another day, another terror war breaks out. Sickening videos and images getting out of there. So glad I do not live in a shithole wartorn place to be honest, but feel bad for those who live that way. Innocent people getting murdered every day for nothing.

@prologic@twtxt.net not much planned. But tonight is family time, make nachos and see a movie together. Maybe Ill go biking with the dog to tire him out a bit, got a new place I want to go to (9km trail). :)

We all went to sit by the ocean tonight, was nice to sit down together and enjoy the view.

Image

Finally weekend again, gonna be nice!
