There have been much cooler sunsets in the past, no doubt, but I can’t complain about today’s sky:

Sun has set

@mckinley@twtxt.net Haha, yes. :-)

I quit Newsboat three days ago without noticing. Well, now that I think about it, I remember again. I was compiling it from source to test my latest fix. So this evening I got plenty of new articles after starting it again.

One entry was yours, @mckinley@mckinley.cc. The Ladybird note in https://mckinley.cc/notes/atom.xml links to the Tor Browser note. Anyways, interesting project you’re following there. I reckon that metric isn’t too bad to find bloated HTML and CSS.

Haha: “The plural of regex is regrets.” (https://infosec.exchange/@j_opdenakker/109376738487154054 via IRC; I don’t mind regular expressions, though)

@mckinley@twtxt.net :-D

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Great. Black cumin seed on top makes pizza twice as good. My mouth is watering if I just think about it. :-)

After a quiet and rainy morning, the sun come out in the afternoon. 10, 15 minutes after leaving the house, clouds moved in. The 5°C wind was very chilly, so a beanie was a must. The dog in 07 had a broken foot, the owner just put on a wheeled harness so both rear legs were dangling in the air and heavily swinging left to right. Looked quite funny.

Still colorful autum

@prx@si3t.ch It never ends! This is sick. /me nods appreciatively.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Ah, so it only has accumulated numbers to work with.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net This is cool! And painfully reminds me of getting my Kraftwerk done. :-/ Maybe provide a separate view where it doesn’t sum over everything but shows the numbers per day or what ever time unit you’re using. What kind of exercises are you doing? Perhaps split the graph by exercise category and see how the numbers compare.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Awesome, is it pizza or nachos today? Homemade pizza (basically anything) is very yummy. Which movie did you select this time? I bet it has to be something with snow to build up the anticipaction for tomorrow. :-)

Thanks, @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no. Oh, that’s cool. :-) Mate in Berlin told me that they also had the first snow of the season this evening. But down in the south we’re still facing 5°C in the night, so snow will have to wait.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I’m fixing Newsboat: https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/pull/2259 Now that I think about it, I should have made some better tests. Well, future-Lyse will do that tomorrow. :-)

As soon as I start programming in C++ again, of course I forget the final semicolons everywhere…

@justamoment@twtxt.net Yeah, I just don’t do it enough.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, great. This week was quite productive in regards to discovering new bugs totally by accident. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh dear. One thing leads to another. :-D Funny that we just talked about that.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Good idea. Definition is all that matters. :-)

We went on a rainy afternoon hike. Contrary to common belief, this is actually pretty nice. It didn’t rain too hard, so hiking boots, rain trousers and rain jacket with integrated hood is all that’s needed. Just the pattering of the rain on the hood makes for a harder conversation, but it’s relatively quiet everywhere else. Once overcome, I always enjoy these rainy days outside a lot. Well, if it doesn’t pour down too crazy. In the end the rain even stopped and there was even a decent red sunset, that I missed to capture on film, though.

Road through the yellow golden woods surrounded by orange foliage

Btw, @prologic@twtxt.net, I reckon the yarnd generated archive feed URLs are not stable and thus kind of contradict the Archive Feeds Extension, which states:

Once they are made public, [archive feeds] are supposed to be left alone and won’t receive further updates. Deletion or editing is still allowed, but feed authors should not expect clients to retrieve archived feeds on a regular basis (or at all).

Looking at your main feed URL https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt, the prev points to https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/1 and that in turn links to https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/2. Here the chain ends. That means whenever a new archive feed is generated, the URLs change. Or viewed differently, the URL suddenly provides a differnt content. That probably causes clients to not update their caches properly, because they always see the same …/twtxt.txt/1 in the main feed’s prev and think that nothing changed, which contradicts the promise of the spec.

@prologic@twtxt.net For all the twtxt archeologists out there, that is the historic moment on how it all began. Unfortunately, yarns doesn’t seem to have all (?) of prologic’s archive feed, but somehow mine, hence only my replies show up when I search for that conversation. Quite weird. Maybe user error, no idea. But it must have been after the twt hash change, so the hashes should match, as seen by the first link in this twt. Anyways, I reconstructed that conversation by hand using the archive feeds: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/avatar-story.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net Ta!

@prologic@twtxt.net @darch@neotxt.dk I also try to join in about an hour, but I probably can’t stay for very long. What’s the link again?

@xuu Awesome! :-)

@mckinley@twtxt.net It’s exactly that vehicle! :-) But there’s not a real story behind it. In the beginning @prologic@twtxt.net invited me to create an avatar. So after some unsuccessful deliberation I finally opened my cabinet, picked out this little feller and quickly built some scenery to take a photo. In higher resolution: https://lyse.isobeef.org/avatar-3000.jpg (yes it was dark when I took the photo)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Feuerabend. Päng, päng! Please take some video, @carsten@yarn.zn80.net, if you do so. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I learned them also fairly late. But ordinary mortals ususally don’t come in contact with these very often. :-) I think I actually never used them myself. For a long time I thought zepto and yokto as well as zetta and yotta were reversed, because z follows the y in the alphabet. But in fact they come from the Latin and Italian sevens and eights.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! :-D

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net This is cool! @movq@www.uninformativ.de And then throw them off your tower building. For science! :-)

That’s pretty cool. Earth now weighs six ronnagrams. New metric prefixes voted in France: https://phys.org/news/2022-11-earth-ronnagrams-metric-prefixes-voted.html

For the upcoming weekend you’ll get a triple nature special. Let’s start off with the cloudy view from three days ago:

Cloudy view over to the colorful woods

And yesterday:

Golden leaves in the morning sun

Closing wih something more substantial. This morning I didn’t think I would go out without an umbrella. But the weather god ment well for us, rain stopped for our afternoon hike. Autumn is just beautiful, we never tire of looking at the colored leaves.

Fog in multi-colored trees

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I swear on cable whenever possible.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s not an elevator. ;-) Granted, not all the stats are useful. I just displayed what was easily accessible by the library. Next time I’ll definitely thin out.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Luckily, it’s a public field, so it can be extended very easily.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool! :-) Yeah, GPX files is all I would need, too. In Kraftwerk I added GPX support. I pulled out a few stats with the pygpx library. The trajectory was rendered on top of an interactive map provided by OpenStreetMap. Getting the OSM stuff to work was quite a challenge, though.

Next time I come across a GPX file, I’ll check out GPXSee, never heard of that. When I used OsmAnd myself years ago, I also made use of the offline maps feature. But I’m sure I did not have to pay anything. I thought it was even open source software, could be wrong though. Up until now I didn’t even know that there are multiple applications out there with the same name. Hmm.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m glad that all three implementations agree with each other. :-)

@xuu I’ve done that in Go and C++, too. :-) It’s not too bad.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Great report again by Scott Manley. And some crazy pictures, well done, folks!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I looked up the gossipping protocol in the code and it’s as simple as that: curl https://txt.sour.is/twt/u4bs34q -H 'Accept: application/json' That exfiltrated the original twt from @xuu’s yarnd instance, which I cast into a test case: https://git.mills.io/lyse/go-lextwt/commit/66d8e56141233af66026cfb72ebd74b02cc02201

@quark@ferengi.one @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Exactly. I replied to @xuu’s (presumably) first version of the backtick code block test twt. But then he edited it multiple times.

@xuu @prologic@twtxt.net Hahaha! :-D I also use the first one, if necessary. Each and every Go project of mine has a Makefile, so it’s easily done. The second and especially third one sound quite weird to me.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear. Well, luckily you got it resolved eventually. :-) +@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Didn’t watch all of it, but that’s quite cool. Suddenly, cables appearing, or pipes or whatever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxMqWHCTqGM#t=28m

@xuu Working like a charm.

@xuu is our man, he’s killing it today! He fixed the lexer and also prepared a new yarnd version. Testing it locally, it works like a dream:

Conversation showing properly

Now that I updated my feed with this twt, all yarnd caches should hopefully receive a new twt with the correct hash, once they refetch my feed.

I’m still following you, @carsten@yarn.zn80.net, hence can’t be too bad. :-P I talk to my uni mates daily in IRC, so at least there’s that. They’re similarly minded, but of course, there are also topics where we all disagree with each other. So you gotta find a healthy balance. :-) With other, non-IT real life friends, you just gotta stick to some common subjects and activities. Some know I have some “crazy” opinions, but they’re used to that and accepted it in the meantime. It’s okay for both sides.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 3.5 km/h is not too bad if you don’t want to reach the destination all sweaty. :-) Some mates are using Osmand.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, I didn’t think of that. Cool logo animation: https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis/

Did you have a power or network outage?

@xuu Because that would be the correct one. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Perfect, that’s looking correct. At least both our clients agree. :-) Thanks for verifying. @xuu You actually replied to the correct thread. :-)

Xuu replied correctly, without noticing
