Alright, grepping for line in ~/.weechat made me realize to /set weechat.look.read_marker_always_show on. I also added a new trigger that matches everthings and then beeps (I should probably exclude join and part events). I didn’t realize the default beep trigger is only for highlights and private messages.

@xuu@txt.sour.is At least for now I don’t need remote frontends, but who knows what the future brings. :-)

Is there any setting or script to render a line in the chat buffer to indicate the last read messages? I fail to find anything. For irssi it would be the trackbar.pl script. Also, the beep settings seem not to work for what ever reason. It’s just not sending a BEL to my terminal. Hm. :-(

@mckinley@twtxt.net Oh, right. It didn’t occur to me that this could be anything else than the outside temperature. Glad you’re not melted. :-)

@mckinley@twtxt.net The first one is the best in my opinion. I just watched the video from the updated article on the floppy disk array and had to smile as well. Thanks. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, for some reason I always thought that WeeChat was a graphical client. I will try out WeeChat then, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net That’s looking really beautiful, mate! Somewhere in Scandinavia I’d say, maybe Norway?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Aha, I never heard of PipeWire. Good thing you explained the context to @prologic@twtxt.net, I actually thought you’re quoting a real jackass phrase. :-D

I’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl and nickcolor.pl as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc. to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; } (I cannot use the default with Alt as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P. Other things to solve in the near future:

• better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
  
• getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
  
• nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
  
• decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an even cooler slider, thanks! @mckinley@twtxt.net I’m also on the fence of changing my current background:

Pluto

(44°C, what the heck!)

@prologic@twtxt.net Just found this comparison, even with a slider. Bloody awesome! Holy moly, what a difference.

@prologic@twtxt.net No, haven’t seen them yet. Do you have a link?

@thecanine@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net In drawing guessing games over here one often quickly starts with dog, cat, mouse.

Oh look at those beautiful photos from JWST! Now I want to become an astronomer.

Image

@thecanine@twtxt.net It’s recognizable just because we know what it should be. ;-).

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Beautiful! We melted at humid 34°C yesterday, it was awful.

@prologic@twtxt.net Back in the days in an R&D project we ran into something similar (or the same? – didn’t read the article). I don’t remember the details anymore, but each containerized JVM thought, that it could use up the whole hardware cluster system resources and didn’t obey the limits set in the container. And then of course it got killed.

@prologic@twtxt.net At the end he says something in Zulu. But that of course is not a real conversation. @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I didn’t know either that there are also non-clicks, too. But making use of at least vovels makes total sense, they appear to be quite universal. There’s also Ubuntu, however, I didn’t know that this is in fact Zulu, too. I just knew it’s an African word. Just looked it up when you came around the corner with Icinga.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Das sind mir fast zu viele Informationen (oder bin es halt noch nicht gewohnt), ich muss mal genauer mit den verschiedenen Ansichten rumspielen. Bei zwei Wochen kann ich auch eine Münze schmeißen, das wird genauso gut hinhauen. ;-)

Very interesting: Pronunciation of Zulu Clicks.

Exactly, I have to explicitly follow a feed in order for it to show up. So, I don’t care either. :-)

@kt84@twtxt.net This is beautiful! I’d like to trade our temperatures from tomorrow on. Approaching and then exceeding 30°C here. 22°C today were alright.

Oh man, the evening light was sooooo bloody awesome and also the sky seemed off a picture-book. And I didn’t bring my camera. Came home about quarter an hour too late, sun was already set.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Very nice shots, this makes the size much more visible. Good luck with the rest of the wire netting, don’t break your neck.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is just cool how you recalibrated! I also doubt that fiddling around with the remaining left to right tilt is worth the effort at the end. Looking forward to see the project completed. You could use the shutter photo on the opening scene. Maybe take a few more in different positions to simulate an opening theater curtain. ;-)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Ta! It was great.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Ah, interesting. Luckily, history got you covered. ;-)

My connecting train was cancelled, so I decided to go for a night walk with a bit of a detour. It was absolutely worth it, saw a rabbit in front of me crossing the road and the clear sky in the forest made the stars pop nicely. Also super quiet once I left the city and the overgrown paths in the woods were incredibly dark. It was very, very hard to even make out the way. Luckily, I’ve walked it many, many times, so anticipating turns was doneable. Quite an adventure! Took me about 1:15 hours to reach home about 15 minutes ago. So I won’t make it to today’s call, sorry mates. I’ll hopefully sleep like a rock in a few minutes.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Being German I naturally don’t care for flags, but I have to admit the colored version on your website looks even nicer than the black and white one here. Are JGS at the very end the true initials of your name? And I can’t resist to ask which two states you left out? ]:-> Anyways, enjoy your holiday!

@thecanine@twtxt.net And so the quest for the smallest number of pixels required to draw a dog continues. Still recognizable, no issues. And not bad of a result either. :-) I just have to squint a bit.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ta! And today was fricking colorful as well.

Colors over colors in the sky!

@retrocrash@twtxt.net Ah, nice. Yeah, intentially removing things is a good way to keep trusting the system. :-)

Nothing quite like a few days ago, but I also pulled up the shutters a bit too late. This is what I saw a couple of minutes ago:

Colorful clouds in the sunset, it looks like the cloud god was a bit lazy and just used copy & paste

Don’t worry, @prologic@twtxt.net. :-) Except for one other I couldn’t do that with all my other hiking mates. Not even close. To complicate things even further, there were some rougher spots and all the inclines would slow down progress substantially. At least one hour on top, probably even two.

To be fair, when I started all the hiking a few years back, my endurance was really low, too. I couldn’t have done that back then in this time. I went out for half an hour to an hour, then I was whacked. Nothing comes from nothing.

@prologic@twtxt.net This is quite fast, yes. But we both are quite fast walkers, so the speed wasn’t too bad. The heat was way more brutal, especially since we had a lot of sections without shade. It’s hard to guess but maybe 50:50 in the shade and in the sun. Luckily, I wore my trusty Akubra. And we had to be very economical with our water, since we only decided on the way to go for the trip we had talked about months ago. So we weren’t prepared for it.

But we had the paths mostly for us, there were only very few other people around. So that was cool.

My mate and I spontaneously decided to go for a longer tour today in 29°C heat. We ended up hiking 23 km in 4:30 hours. I had two liters of mineral water in my backpack and we bought a bottle of cherry limonade each on the way in. In the end we opted for pear limo at the same self-service fridge. What a great invention these small vending machines and self-service huts are! In Germany shops are closed on Sundays, so we would have needed to find an open restaurant (plenty didn’t survive Corona) with some detours.

It was my first time on that particular terrain. We went through some beautiful and quaint forest paths with scenic views. I forgot to put my SD card back into my camera, so no photos until my mate will send me his.

Now my feet a cooling off in a bucket of cold water. Superb.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I just reread the spec and it seems to be even a bit outdated regarding machine-parsable conversation grouping. We long dropped the need to specify a whole hash tag with URL (#<hash url>), the simplified version without the URL (#hash) is enough.

The hash tag extension specification is kind of missing the same. However, I’m not sure if that short form is considered supported in general (as opposed to be a special case for subjects only) by the majority of the twtxt/yarn community.

Now the question arises, in order to keep things simple, should we even only allow the simplified twt hash tag for subjects and forbid the long version? This would also save quite a bit of space. The URL is probably not shown anyways in most clients. And if so, clients might rewrite URLs to their own instances. On the other hand, there’s technically nothing wrong with the long version in current parser implementations. And deprecating stuff without very good reason isn’t cool.

@tkanos@twtxt.net Oh fuck, that’s really bad! :‘-(

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks mates! Yeah, lens flares rock. But especially for 24 I had several attempts to take one without any flares to more closely match the beautiful reality. I failed miserably. Still super cool shot, though.

That’s quite a setup, @retrocrash@twtxt.net. When did you start it?

@will@twtxt.net Oh, that huge sucker! Erie has the area of an average federal state here. You could put our biggest lake 48 times into Erie, areawise. Volume, however, only 10 times to fill it up. Truly mindblowing.

@darch@neotxt Although already rejected, but what are channels? How would they work?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I need to think about it a bit. But I tend to deprecation rather than removal.

Yesterday, we had a heavy thunderstorm in the evening. At first it wasn’t too bad, just thunder in the distance and then a few drops of rain for at most five minutes. That was it. Alright, I thought, it’s over, let me call a mate and walk to the dairy farm. The heavy clouds looked awesome, a bit threatening but mostly harmless and just beautiful. We decided on a small detour to the home made ice cream vending machine and got ourselves some expensive, but very yummy pineapple/mint, yoghurt and raspberry/basil tubs. Mint was super strong, had to eat three spoons of some other flavors to actually taste it. A few spoons in and then the thunder rolled in from nowhere. So we quickly headed for the dairy farm while eating our ice creams. Half way there the sky floodgates opened and we took cover under a tree at the local playground. A minute later we decided to climb up the slide tower, because it had a proper roof. A tiny bit of hail cam down, but nothing serious.

About 15-20 minutes the rain stopped and the thunder and lighning rolled past. So we continued our journey and I finally filled my two one liter bottles successfully. Every now and then it drizzled a little bit through the forest. We reached our homes and a couple minutes later rain hit again. Thunder and lighning went crazy. The sky lit up every few seconds and this continued through half of the night.

Right after I hung up to meet my mate, another mate called and reported a few villages north of us they experienced hail sized a bit under golf balls. But he luckily managed to get the car in the underground carpark in time.

Today, it rained the whole morning. This was great since the temperatures stayed below 20°C, so my walk was a real joy. It’s going to get close to 30°C tomorrow, though, gnarf, örks, bwäh. :-(

Sunset, once again
