Finally weekend again, gonna be nice!

Another nail in the coffin.

I started working on a new scene (3D), I’ve wanted to make a short movie for a while, and I work on some of my ideas to get something started. Here is one of the scenes I made last weekend..

@prologic@twtxt.net I will stick around, after thinking about it. Im sure support for both will come. Maybe Ill check if I can make some support in snac2 for yarn, that would be a fun project. I also want to work some more on the yarn desktop client, I miss working on it, polish it and make it more feature complete, and then also make one for snac2/activitypub (or make it into a general client that supports both at the same time).

I’ll shut down this instance soon, I want to say thanks to all of you, especially @prologic@twtxt.net . It’s been fun here, but I do not spend much time here anymore - cutting down on the things I host and use \ spend time on etc.

I’ve been using activitypub more - since it’s more or less replaced ‘x’ for me, and can be reached at:
@stigatle@activitypub.stigatle.no

@mckinley@twtxt.net Dog walking, and my son started with organized football this week, so he’s going on a tournament tomorrow (3 matches).
Been working a lot as well (from home).. So busy weekend for sure. How about you?

Good morning to you all! Just had the morning walk with the dog in the rain, it’s raining pretty bad today, all day.
But that also means I have some time for my computer later today. I just have to figure out what to do first :)
Probably code a bit, or reinstall one of my computers, I’ve been wanting to run #OpenBSD again, I tried it on one of my laptops, but wifi did not work for some reason, but I have some wifi dongles - so I’ll try with that, or install on one of my other laptops.
I have a #Thinkpad #x200 with #libreboot, I might give it a shot there - all though it takes some time to get it to work with libreboot, I did install it some years ago though, so I think that should work again now. Either way I’ll figure out something to tinker with today!

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net Nice! I have a machine with that CPU.

@bender@twtxt.net thank you! I just came back from a 5km bike trail run, it was great. first time on a trail with bike, super narrow gravel, and trails, trees and forest all over, went really nice, its so cool that he knows the commmands I need, left, right, easy, go etc. makes me really proud, this is exactly what I wanted when we got our husky, and its so nice to see him grow in that way.

@prologic@twtxt.net he had a run yesterday, and is still tired, so I finally found the off switch :)

@prologic@twtxt.net here is what I got :

@prologic@twtxt.net kickbike is one of these

Bought myself a mountain bike today, first time (as a adult) that I have a really nice bike. it was on sale, and cost 1\3rd of the kickbike I kinda wanted. So after some thinking I decided that a bike is better for the dog (and me) then a kickbike. I assembled the bike and then went out so that he could have a long run, was awesome. I especially like it when he knows the commands I give (for left\right etc). So awesome to see him instantly know what I want him to do. He also ignored all people who walked or biked, and kept the pace throughout.

@prx@si3t.ch +1 for OpenBSD - great OS! I love using that OS.

Yesterday and today Marlyn painted our kitchen, we have dark grey walls in the livingroom\kitchen, but our kitchen was high gloss white, but now she panted the kitchen the same color as the walls, turned out very nice! I really like it. And glad that she wanted to do that - I hate painting inside.
Cheap way to make the kitchen feel new.

filmed a nice walk with Nanook today, you can watch it here : https://activitypub.stigatle.no/stigatle/p/1691503487.536879

@prologic@twtxt.net Yup! :) Was really nice. I was my kids age when I was on that train last time, so nice to bring back some memories, they had a really nice time.

We had a wonderful day yesterday :) We went on this train for a ride (30 minutes each way).

Today we went on another roadtrip! Was really nice, we also spent 2 hours in a crowded resturant (table outside), with our dog Nanook, went great! Kids could eat a whole pizza, and he just sat there next to the table taking in the view, dogs walked by, people walked by, crowded street etc, was awesome to see that all the training we have done gives very positive results :) Been a fantastic day. And was nice to spend it all with my family, I love having time off work.

So, not unexpected - but the guy was a scammer. And he took his time trying to lure in.
There where several red flags early on, but I went along with it because I wanted to know what the final way of scamming would be. So in the end he pretended that he had a ~5000USD transaction, and sent a screenshot from the same website as my NFT’s are on (to try to look legitimate), but there was obviously no notification on the legit site about this. He then sent another QR code (which I extracted the url from in a isolated VM), and that was the phishing site, a kinda similar url to the main legit site - that forwards you there.
So at least now his account is nuked and did not get anything from me at least.

wish you all a great day!

I hung up a older tv in our bedroom today, a dumb tv without any smart features, bought one of those new chromecast’s, works very well, pleased with this setup. Gonna be nice to watch some TV in bed, or listen to podcasts etc.

Got contacted on instagram from someone who wanted to buy some of my images (NFT), I have been putting the images I liked the most into a collection (and add new ones when I take Images I think is good enough) into the collection. Just letting it sit there to see if I can make a sale one day.
Not sure yet if the person is serious or not - but If I could make a sale - then I’m all for it.
It’s much easier to put things up for sale as NFT then other ways.
I sell them as a 1 item thing. And put a price that I think is fair (Fixed price on all, but based on the amount of time I actually spend getting to all these locations).
One thing I have not liked about NFT is all the crap art stuff that there that takes 0 effort, but I do at least spend time picking out where we go. And each image has a memory attached to it, a trip with my family to that exact place..

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I got some cash that I will put aside for a rainy day. I initially wanted to buy a kickbike for the dog with that, but he should not be pulling too much until next year’s fall, so I decided not to buy that now.
I’ll put the money aside for next year.
Other then that I got a new harness for me that I use for the dog, we’ve had one but this one is more solid and fits better to my size. That is super useful - and will last for many many years.
Also got a new hiking jacket, cotton jacket, green, outdoor type jacket, that is also something I really wanted, since I do not like those synthetic jackets (sweat too much in that). Also got some chocolate from my kids (Which I love). So I’m very pleased with the gifts :)

Thanks to all of you :))) Been a really nice day today!

today Its my 40th birtday :)

@prologic@twtxt.net thanks! I have not had time to look into it myself either. been busy days.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I invest in crypto, I use it to pay for various services too, I focus mainly on monero due to it’s privacy features - which I like. For me it’s a way of saving and investing. I do not have much in there - but more saved there then in the bank. Cryptocurrencies are definitely useful, in many ways.
Crypto is here to stay. What I dislike is the whole web3 ‘pay to play’ kinda thing..

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I honestly dislike web3 platforms, and especially blockchain social media.
It’s just filled with people trying to make a dollar. That is always the focus on those blockchain based social media sites. I like what I can host my self, no money or tokens \ crypto involved etc.
Tried nostr for a while, but I cannot get into that either. Only reason it’s popular is because of jack (that’s just my opinion), and they are always pushing bitcoin lightning network there - and I get tired of that pretty fast.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I remember this type of scanner. We had one of those as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have to admit it was not useable in any way, since it (along with the OS) used almost all the ram, and the mangopi is not a powerfull device, works fine for terminal and file browsing \ editing etc, but not much more. Still waiting to get my hands on some better riscv hardware.

compiled and ran the desktop client on riscv tonight. my mangopi only has 512mb ram, but it was enough to compile and run it :)

it was amazing. we all went on a roadtrip with some friends. kids had a nice time, lots of stuff for them to do. about 7hrs driving, stopping all over the place to look at the scenery and eat food, swim etc. was really nice.

Went out with our husky this morning for some playtime, had one of the long lines on him and throw ball, the long line hook snapped, and luckily we have trained a lot on recall so he came straight back. Then went and got a more robust long line.
I started doing this instead of longer walks when he wakes up. He uses up more energy playing then walking, so he is more relaxed afterwards.

@prologic@twtxt.net Luckily my father has a van, so I was able to get rid of it all in two trips to the dump.

Tidying up the house, throwing away all the clutter. Going to feel good later today when we’re done.

@marado@twtxt.net @thecanine@twtxt.net oofff.. AI..

Here is the takeoff and landing. The rope is quite thin, just about a shoestring, like parachute cord. You can see it in the video.

Russia attacks 200m from Nato border, you think Nato would react if the attack went 1 meter over the border?.. Or would they just come with excuses on why not to intervene?

we just came home from a weekend of fun! we’re all tired now, time to relax a bit :) hope you all had a great weekend too!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org quite long, boat pulled us up to over 1000m, then we disconnected the rope and glided along the mountain ridges. was really nice. the view was amazing. the boat was on the lake I posted earlier.

tandem paragliding today! was really nice!

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks :) Looking forward to get that feature in, since I like to share images that I take, will be a nice feature to have in the client as well. :)

Was a really nice trip to the dogpark, he got to play a lot with a beagle, they ran for an hour and had fun. :)

Heading off to the dog park tonight, will be nice for our dog to run as much as he likes! It’s a plot of forest that’s fenced in, and it’s big enough for you to do some walking there as well and train on recall and all that good stuff.

@prologic@twtxt.net I think the API is is fine :). But to be honest - one thing that would help me is a commandline curl example on how to upload a image, I take these curl commands through a converter that makes it into libcurl c++ code which I then use :) If you could help me with such a image upload curl example then I’d appreciate it! (I’m currently missing media upload).. And having that feature would be great! :)

I need to do a big rewrite on how the yarn desktop client handles the status widgets, this is because I want links and such, and to do that I have to rewrite the status message code, it takes a bit if time to do it, but I kinda know what to do - I just need to dive in and get it done. Been thinking about it for a while, I think it’s time to get started on it. Also makes the code much cleaner then what it is now.

Good evening everyone! Damn nice with vacation, nice to sleep in every day :) Weather has not been good, really cold, feels like autumn to be honest, and lots of wind. Not summer weather at all these days.
