When it comes to AI stuff - I like to run it myself, not use a service. I found this today - https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile
I’ll give that a good try when I need it, instead of chatgpt and such services.

@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.

@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 :)

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.

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

@prologic@twtxt.net 😁

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.
