@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Na, I’m too old for this shit.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. :-( But hey, there are at least six of us using mail as it should be™. :-)

I sent the dealer an e-mail about that with all sorts of other issues as well. Let’s see if they fix anything of that some day. Or yet just even read it.

Come on, why is the bloody IBAN only in the damn HTML part of your e-mail but not in the plain text!? Grrr! Don’t you wanna get paid, dealer!? Your new web shop system sucks so bad, I want the old version back.

Righto, infusion time in the sauna! It started to lightly rain. Bah, why’s the heavy thunderstorm canceled?

Meh, the stupid shorts get longer. I need to increase my duration filter in order to ban all this garbage.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lol, what the hell!? Reports like that turn me away even more from iron oxide. Also, great naming choice on the method they made there. display() doesn’t actually display it. But it’s a Rust thing.

I’m now going to delete 7,336 old photos (previews, resized web versions and index.htmls) and reclaim 3.3 GiB disk space on my laptop.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Cool! Does it still run on your machine? :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmmm, that indeed surprises me, too. Looks like I live in a moorhen shortage area. Even ducks and geese are not all that common. But then also, there aren’t any substantially sized lakes around here. Just a few smaller ponds, which I don’t visit all that often.

@quark@ferengi.one Ta. Hmm, what’s wrong with the blue text color? Is it too dark on the black background for you? :-?

Normal links are blue while images are teal. I thought I differentiate the two if I easily can. The underline of URLs comes from my terminal and is not tt’s fault.

Configuring colors is in the todo list. But of course, providing a sane default is definitely something I’d like to have.

@bender@twtxt.net Let’s start a counter penguin feed! Or something along those whiskers. Should also at least mentally help with the heat.

@quark@ferengi.one Oh boy. Glad you survived.

@quark@ferengi.one LOL! :-D

There ya go, @quark@ferengi.one, these are the two most important views.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’m glad to hear that you don’t find it too terrible. :-) There are still heaps of bugs to fix and things to improve. Bucketloads of them.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de A Tux improves the life. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks. It’s already over, the heat got us. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Kein Muckefuck, wohl bekomms. :-)

Once again, I went on a hike onto my backyard mountain after calling it quits very late. This time I brought my cam along. The view was extremely hazy, but the setting sunlight resulted in cool colors. The freshly cut grass smelled wonderful.

I saw a flock of pidgeons circling around and some sort of rat or mouse quickly running over the road in front of me from one field into the next one with a giant nut in its mouth. Or so I at least believe, couldn’t really tell, it happened so fast.

A couple enjoyed the setting sun on a bench and stripped their shoes on this warm evening. Somebody forget their bottle of water on the summit, but it looked rather cool in the evening light:

Image

Not sure what they’re doing, but they now set up scaffolding at the ruin. I heavily doubt it, but it would be cool if they rebuilt the castle. :-)

On the way back I met up with a mate who couldn’t come along right from the beginning. We saw two deer on the meadow, but it was already too dark for my camera, the photos were totally rubbish. The sunset turned really pretty and colorful just in time when I reached home. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-06-10/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s cool! I think I never ran across a moorhen in the wild. Nor such a goose, just the “normal” ones. I should maybe try to sit on a watch to shoot some birds. With my cam, not a rifle of course. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck yeah, these are some brilliant shots! Where did you spot the goose and moorhen?

Speaking of fantastic and inspiring things, Epic Upcycling makes a wonderful desk from pallet wood and scrap metal: https://youtu.be/hY1-5PtJPo8 So relaxing to watch. I wanna make one so bad, too. I guess I start with the plane rack, though.

Fuck me, this is soooo bloody amazing! :-) I absolutely love watching the iterations on Primitive Technology’s belt and pully blower: https://youtu.be/1799Rqn71A8 It’s just so dang cool and really inspiring. This wants me do something similar so hard. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting, didn’t know that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very rarely does it happen. Yup, the clouds are to praise for today’s spectacle. Surpringly, the pink is fairly close to how it actually looked in person. I was pleased to see that. The neon orange in front of the grayish sky was way cooler, though. I wish I could close the aperture on my camera in the hope of capturing the insane color. Oh well.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t even know about the internet back then. Might have been just around that time we got our very first second-hand computer.

Woooaaah, the sun just was a crazy orange disk in the sky. Looked super amazing. Unfortunately, on the photo it was just white. But then it turned pink when it reappeared below the clouds: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-06-07/

Image

Aha! So, @bender@twtxt.net added all the Spanish feeds then!? ]:->

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bwahahaha, exactly! :-D

Aha! https://tiswww.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rluserman.html#Readline-Killing-Commands

Ha, I just learned that deleting text in my zsh with Ctrl+U to the front or Ctrl+K to the end puts it in a buffer that can be pasted by pressing Ctrl+Y! That’s neat. Even removing the last word with Ctrl+W moves it into this paste buffer.

https://jvns.ca/blog/2024/11/26/terminal-rules/#rule-5-vaguely-support-readline-keybindings

I guess I have to implement pasting in tt as well.

We went up our local backyard mountain and boy is it humid. The view after the rain is fairly good, but I’m totally soaked. No photos, I’m too exhausted for that.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I never did anything remotely like this. I might have to look into it some day. It might be a good topic for a Do What You Want Day.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately. :‘-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve absolutely no idea how they’re poured in. I bet it must be some automatic thing. At least I cannot imagine that any sane person would ever add such junk to a list.

@bender@twtxt.net Muting on a domain level would be an option.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That sounds fun! I’m happy to read an article on how you did that. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hear you! I’d also love to forbid any use in military software (development). Even though I cannot imagine anything of my stuff ending up there.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Das wär auch meine Vermutung. :-) Wir nennen sie hier Peterling.

Sooo many new spam feeds to mute in the twtxt.net discovery view. :-( The RSS/Atom to Twtxt feed bridge was a mistake, I believe. I guess I just have to abandon that altogether and rely on my subscriptions to interact with new feeds in order to discover legitimate new ones. Not sure if that works, sounds like a chicken-‘n’-egg problem.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, even a large one!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, this is sick!

@arne@uplegger.eu Ohh, sehr hübsch geworden!

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Cool, that animation is quite hypnotic. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-05-21/0/POSTING-en.html: Hahaha, that’s what I immediately thought, too! The pain of going back to CVS. :-D I used that back in school. Quickly after, I upgraded to SVN and even that was terrible in comparison to a modern VCS, such as git.

In any case, happy hacking!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zum Beispiel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-unPs-NrVI0

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s cool! Both of you can now form a house band. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ta! The dead end wasn’t all that bad in my opinion. Personally, I really do like dirt paths and exploring. It was all dried up, so no muddy mess we had to walk through. More like climbing over thick branches that have been worked into the ground by harvesters or forwarders in the muddy winter. Rough terrain. My mate, on the other hand – whose idea it was to check out the real summit in the first place ;-) — wasn’t all that pleased about the detour. Oh well. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Das klingt ein wenig nach einem Johnny-Einschub zwischen zwei Liedern auf einer EAV-CD. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, that sounds pretty good!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What a wonderful present! Crazy how time flies.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m glad you like that raven. :-) This is the original for when you get a screen as big as an entire wall one day: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-05-16/01.JPG

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I only listened to you while going through my photos, so I did not pay very close attention. :-)

Since you have a proper server – haha, not just one – and hence are not limited, I suggest you learn a real programming language and don’t waste your time with this PHP mess. It might have improved a wee bit since I was a kid, but it felt like some hacked together shit. The defaults also were questionable at best, it was easier to hold it wrong than right. This stands testament to bad design and is especially terrible from a security point of view.

You’re right, programming is like any other craft. You only truly learn by actually doing it. And this just takes time. Very long time to master it. Or as close to as it gets. The more you know, the more you realize what else you don’t know (yet). It’s a never ending process. So, take it easy, don’t get discouraged, happy hacking and enjoy the endeavor! :-)

We had sun, clouds, wind, rain and a whole lot of fun on our trip to the Wasserberg. We’ve been out seven hours in total, not bad at all for all those kilometers. We added on some detours to check out a pond I’ve been introduced by a mate a few years back.

After some (expensive) tucker at the Wasserberghaus, we tried to actually visit the summit this time. However, there’s nothing to see, just a rough logging trail (46-49). That was a dead end, so we had to turn around. It was some nice exploring, but I reckon this was my first and last time up there. :-)

Image

Unfortunately, we didn’t go to the neighboring Fuchseck this time, only the Wasserberg with some extras.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-wasserberg-2025-05-18/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow! This giant Tux is just fucking amazing, I have to say. Even a bricked Tux and a GNU!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yup, we got lucky. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Things in general just sitting around collect dust. Granted, plush is an even worse dust magnet. We badly need some anti-dust material. ;-)

Nice, did you print this keychain yourself?

@bender@twtxt.net Hahahaha! :-D

Once again, we had some very beautiful colors this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-05-16/

Image

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, okay. Too bad. :-D Or luckily, thinking of all the dust they collect.

@bender@twtxt.net Just to save some unnecessary und useless network traffic. :-) So that I can download more 1080p videos!@1

It’s this time again to archive another quarter. I should do this probably monthly to keep the main feed small.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Ta!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woah! :-) Is/was that your room?

@bender@twtxt.net Ta! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, made in Germany explains the prices. Surprisingly, buying via the reseller is much cheaper than purchasing it from the manufacturer directly. WTF. O_o

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, we’re pattern matching machines. :-) Only the trans5c preview looks like a brain to me. :-) Trans4 is a bacterium.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de They already do:

[…] These changes will apply to operations like cloning repositories over HTTPS […]

On a positive note: Finally time to get rid of as many Go dependencies as possible. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Just have a beeswax candle ready for sniffing. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There are some real bangers in your collection! Aro3, the octopus, would look great on a wall.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A quick search revealed https://www.tux-onlineshop.de/plueschtiere next door to you, but these tuxes look rather ugly. Also, shipping to the US&A is 60 bucks. I bet @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s sister can do better. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Has that hashing change even be accepted? :-?

Nice European greenfinch: https://lyse.isobeef.org/gruenfink-2025-05-10/

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You don’t need to change the directory first in line 11, you can just create the directory, that’s sufficient since you’re having an absolute path.

The echo in line 13 is useless, you can simplify this to: newdir="$WD/$now" If you reversed this line with the previous one, you could make use of the variable in the directory creation: mkdir "$newdir".

In line 16, pull the directory change out of the loop upfront. The loop body doesn’t modify the working directory, so no need to reset it with each cycle. In fact, you could even spare the cd altogether when you simply tell find where to look: find "$basedir" -type f….

I didn’t try it, but if I read the manpage correctly, you should be able to simplify line 19 as well:

-C Change to DIR before performing any operations. This option is order-sensitive, i.e. it affects all options that follow.

Hence, remove the cd and put the -C "$WD" as the first argument to tar. Again, I didn’t try it. Proceed with caution.

Finally, you don’t need to specify the full path to rm in line 21. I bet, /bin is in your PATH. When you removed the previous cd from my last suggestion, the relative path that follows won’t work anymore. So, just use the absolute path that you already have in a variable: rm -rf "$newdir"

I hope you find this tiny review a wee bit useful. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I’m also having them in my repertoire for ages, so I’m used to the weird command line options. From today’s perspective, they’re not consistent with the rest of the typical shell utilities, that’s for sure.

Regarding find | grep foo, I recommend find -name '*foo*', prologic. Also, I regularly use -type d and -type f to find directories or files.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Nothing wrong with handwritten HTML. That’s often superior to generated stuff I believe. :-)

Thanks to @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz and her shelf I finally spent several hours in the woodshop. I wanted to build two drawers for the workbench and thought that I will complete this project in no time. I’ve been so wrong again. ;-)

I didn’t draw any plans, just measured a few times and then went to cutting a bunch of particle board leftovers at the table saw. I routed rebates on the sides, fronts and backs to lap the boxes and sink in the bottom. It turned out that having no plans was a stupid idea. I cut exactly on the lines as I calculated and measured, however, the math in my head fell apart when it eventually met reality. The bottoms are too short, so I gotta glue on some strips. Also, with the longer fronts, the sides won’t work either, I have to fix them as well. :-D

Finally, the lid of my cyclone bucket broke when the negative pressure got too large. Oh well. It was just an old wood glue bucket, I’ve got another empty one, so I can use that lid but strengthen it first with some plywood. Something for future Lyse to deal with.

All in all, it was still good fun. Wood (haha) do it again, but at least with some sketches on paper. ;-)

@anth@a.9srv.net Congrats, that’s pretty cool! Quite some time, I’m impressed.

@prologic@twtxt.net You’ll sometimes find the “Creation Date” in whois. Our domain was registered in 2009. Woah. That’s also been a while, crazy.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, that’s Mr. Compiler Explorer. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net There have always been and there will always be people who have absolutely no clue what they’re doing. I’ve been 100% one of them when I started. Guaranteed, heaps of new SQL injections are born every single day, numbers rising.

That doesn’t justify all the WAF crap in the first place, though. In my opinion it’s just a filthy plaster applied to an injected wound. The software itself must be secure. Otherwise, don’t put that shit on the internet. Probably not even operate it at all. Nowhere. Fix it or throw it in the bin.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @bender@twtxt.net Hahaha! I can’t recall either, maybe even just a chisel or a knive? I’m not terribly good at it, not even close. It’s just fun. And I do it all too rarely. :-/

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s cool. Also, looks like a fun woodworking project in case you exceed the hundred slots. :-) The plywood lap joints might be quite repetetive, but gang cutting them with a story stick or some other fixture shouldn’t be too terrible.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Their gold teeth collection? ;-)

What do you think I just learned about in this awesome Computerphile video with Matt Godbolt called “Subroutines in Low Level Code”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1su3lAh-k4o

Here’s the plot twist, the phrase “till the cows come home”. Hahaha, I never heard this before, but I love it! It’s always interesting to me to hear English sayings. Sometimes we have the same in German, sometimes – like in this case – entirely different ones. It’s fascinating that even though one hasn’t come across proverbs, it’s typically still clear from the context what’s meant.

Yep, some unexpected language stuff. ;-)

Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! That seems to be much easier. It’s already implemented in the Python docs as examples of recvmsg(…) and sendmsg(…):

• https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.socket.recvmsg
  
• https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.socket.sendmsg
  

I looked at them sooo many times in order to figure out why my SCM_CREDENTIALS sending code didn’t work. :-D

Yesterday, I had a look at Unix domain sockets and how to obtain the caller information: https://lyse.isobeef.org/caller-information-via-unix-domain-sockets/

@bender@twtxt.net Deal!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh yeah, this is a great article! The site looks quite horrible, but tastes are different. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh dear, what a way to start the day! :-(

Once again, we had a lovely sunset: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-05-04/

@javivf@adn.org.es You also cut from the front and not the back.

@prologic@twtxt.net I also wore gloves, but after hours of demanding work, my shoulders and wrists were shattered. I hope I’m back to normal tomorrow. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net To clarify, from my observations on how the system behaves, it feels like that. This doesn’t make it any better, I know. Sorry mate! I never claimed that testing is always easy, but in my experience it sure does help cutting down regressions. But to each their own, no worries. The diagram is all Greek to me. Anyway.

@bender@twtxt.net True.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Indeed, a Wüstenmaus sounds cute. However, a Wüstenratte — which is more a desert rat — not so much.

@prologic@twtxt.net ODD, lol. I don’t wanna be rude, but this sounds more like Code And Fix.

We just split about one and a half cubic meters of fire wood at our scout yard. And even more chainsaw action to cut the logs in smaller chunks. I’m bloody tired now. But it was really great fun swinging the axe. I will sleep like a rock tonight.

We went on a 14 kilometers long hike in the heat, only a few spots were in the shade, most of our trip was in the open fields with the sun beating down on us. We reapplied the sun blocker after about two hours or so. All in all it took us about three and a half hours before we reached our destination Besigheim.

Last time I was there it was rainy, now we had the exact opposite. After some yummy Chinese lunch we visited the old town. There’s some gorgeous timer framing to see. When kept in decent shape, it just looks so dang cool.

Since it was too hot, we rode back by train. Despite the heat and some sections near the roaring Autobahn, this was a nice hike. Would do it again. Only in colder weather, though. I certainly don’t wanna trade my comperatively larger (still nothing to other more rural areas), covering forests with the wide open fields and vineyards in summer. That’s for sure.

@quark@ferengi.one Despite the Reddit part (I never understood it), this is a great analysis. I could not have put it any better. I also feel quite home here with the all feeds I follow. It’s a small bunch of good people.

The temperatures are getting pleasant now. All the freshly cut grass really smells lovely. Looks like farmers are securing their harvests before the rain hits tomorrow in the arvo.
