There is news regarding electricity prices. Until 31 March we will pay 0.70 EUR per kWh, with a tariff of 0.753 EUR during the day and 0.608 EUR at night from 23:00 to 07:00. From April, the prices will change and be reduced to 0.509 EUR during the day and 0.450 EUR in the night tariff. In May, prices will be reduced again slightly to 0.48 EUR during the day and 0.43 EUR at night. Although we are still not at the “pre-war level”, this is a significant improvement compared to January 2023, when we still had to pay EUR 1 per kWh.

However, I am curious to see how the supplier will charge for this when we get over the 2900 kWh limit. From this value on, the law says that we have to pay a maximum of 40 cents per kWh, and after that the normal price. However, exactly how and when this will be calculated is still unclear to me. I hope that there will be no surprises and that we won’t have to pay too much.

Yesterday was a nice day and a bad experience in 3D printing. After cleaning up the house, paying a fortune for a refill of 1.5kg of CO2 for the fish tank (24 Euros) I managed to get a hold of the Groot flower pot STL file. Unfortunately I forgot to add support to the print and had to cancel it :-(. Early, after 5 hrs, but still sad as about 50g of material wasted. Expensive wood filament :-(

In-reply-to » @prologic Each system was created because there was someone thinking about something that this person was missing from the other systems. Now that we start connecting all these systems back together, do we then need the different systems anymore, or could we only fall back to using one system?

@prologic@twtxt.net This is undoubtedly why I went away from Hugo, Pelican, WordPress and co and wrote a small, for my needs, blog software. I also learned a lot about the Flask Framework, which I can now use to enhance our apps at work and make my boss happy. I would have chosen Go, but it was not the chosen product at work, so, sorry. KISS principle. Like almost everything in the *nix world. A small tool for a small thing. Chain it with others if you need more.

The pull-only model seems to work nice. You have multiple social networks, each one with its own unique audience. Pull things from others into your when you want.

From my point of view, I think twtxt and yarn are good as they are. The protocol s nice, easy and clean afaik. The surrounding software, makes it what it is today. Multiple clients, each having it pros and cons. The only thing I am missing is some sort of media manager for my uploaded images to yarn.social. But that is specific to this implementation and has nothing to do with the twtx protocol.

In-reply-to » @carsten Your thoughts/opinions on Activity Pub integration with Yarn / Tstxt? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net good morning. I am uncertain if this would be beneficial or not. On one hand, it would be nice to see twtx show up in my mastodon feed. Sure, on the other hand, I think it would be too much to get them here in yarn social. I like the small audience and group of people around this. It is a limited factor and a limited small nerdy group, but isn’t this why you have developed it? And people are using it? Small groups of people? Of course, you could achieve the same on any mastodon instance, but the deployment stack of mastodon is huge compared to twtx.

I would not want it. Maybe crossposting from twtxt to an activity pup instance is sth I would use.

One other question that I am asking myself, and I think I mentioned that in our email conversations, is the fact if we really need so many interconnected systems and do I or do we want to use so many different systems?

To me, the most amusing aspect of modern times is the belief that shedding tears on social media can actually bring about change. It’s as if politicians are eagerly monitoring posts by random individuals, such as “CyberButtFanatic87” on Twitter, for insights into issues like pipeline explosions and energy production.

Nevertheless, I suppose it’s a positive development that most of the meaningless noise, including ineffective change.org petitions, disappears into obscurity without much notice. But I hope that the EDRi will actually change something. Maybe.

The Ukrainians are fighting hard. SO many dead people, so many good people’s lives lost.

NATO head Jens Stoltenberg said Russia could capture Bakhmut “in the coming days.” Meanwhile, Germany said it inspected a ship suspected of carrying Nord Stream pipelines explosives. DW has rounded up the latest.

The Nord Stream pipeline? Probably: blowing up Nord Stream pipelines was a false flag action made to look like Ukrainian false flag action to cover up American false flag action using Russian false flag action. But who will ever know?

@adi@twtxt.net yes it i water. The font is Rubik. I found it on a TiddlyWiki a couple of months ago and fell I love with it. I am also using it in my TiddlyWiki. I have to clean that up, I guess, so I can make it public, one day< or never? I probably never ever do that and just cross post stuff. Better idea :-)

In-reply-to » Good Morning. Still a bit sick today. But getting better. My Corona-warning App updated this morning and showed new contacts in the last 5 days. So, I did test myself and luckily, it was negative! We isolated ourselves to not get anything before going on vacation, and now coming back we are sick with little coughing and a head cold (running nose) 🤧.

@prologic@twtxt.net Is that normal now, that the support channel writes to me that I got web mentioned? This is new

In-reply-to » Welp, after a few harrowing days, I managed to recover all my data from a failing ZFS pool. It had been serving me well, with no significant issue since 2013, about 10 years at this point. But the time has come to destroy it, which I did. Goodbye old friend. 😢

@prologic@twtxt.net phu ZFS. Long time ago that I did that Solaris Admin Course 1 and 2. It is nice to work with ZFS when it works and you know how to set them up

@adi@twtxt.net Thanks. How come? It is super basic. Currently working on an update to upload files. Not sure how to implement the final solution yet. I thought I wanted to attach files/uploads to individual blog posts, but maybe I want to use the in multiple locations. So, I think I will go for a small “media manager”. You can upload a file and will get an ID for it. This can then be used to link to a file. I would rather not include inline images in the posts itself to keep the page as clean as possible. But I would like to link to images from posts instaed of uploading them to another location. — One other solution might be to set up FileBrowser app and use that for file management.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know if I saw that. Maybe you have a link? Here in Germany we are getting the new hot shit where the mobile phone providers will introduce some sort of tracking token, on their side which you can agree too and then will never be bothered again. They handle the token for you and will pass it to the website if the website asks for it, called “TrustPID” - https://www.heise.de/news/Werbe-Tracking-Vodafone-und-Telekom-testen-TrustPID-7126856.html - you need to translate that from German as I could not find an english article.

@prologic@twtxt.net yes, me too. But feeling better already. The second test was negative too, so I think we passed it again.
