@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.

Norway has had it with Meta, threatens $100K fines for data violations.

That’s it for today :) Time to catch some zzz’s. Good night to you all! New day tomorrow!

Keep in mind it’s early still, but a lot of things works and I use it all the time my self..

Threads is following Twitter by getting rate limits and all that good stuff.. hahaha

Kids has gone to bed, watching some youtube before they fall a sleep, Marlyn is playing PUBG, husky is sleeping on the couch after a long late evening walk, and I’m sitting on the couch listening to podcasts and just chilling. Nice way to end this Monday.

Finally the rain and wind stopped, now we’ll have nice weather for the rest of the week it seems. Happy to see that! :)

House Republicans Accidentally Released a Trove of Damning Covid Documents
New documents show a scientist calling a lab leak “highly likely” — after drafting a paper claiming the opposite.

Portioned out some raw meat for the dog, we usually buy it as frozen meatballs, but they have bigger frozen sauages of raw meat that you can buy, more meat for less price. So decided to go for that now, so got my axe and made it into daily portions.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool! Amazing animal!

Just compiled the Yarn desktop client on OpenSuse, was no issues getting it to run there, I love how portable it is. I initially wanted to run OpenBSD on this laptop, but it would not detect wifi, which is a dealbreaker for me, so I installed OpenSuse tumbleweed instead, and will run OpenBSD in a VM and try from there instead.

Yeah, that would be nice! At least when you think about the way things are going these days..

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net OpenBSD is a great OS! I really do like it, especially their ports system, very easy to compile stuff from source on any supported platforms.

no wonder he cut off API access and added rate limit.

why am I not surprised?… https://uk.pcmag.com/ai/147757/elon-musk-will-train-his-ai-project-using-your-tweets

Enjoy the day everyone! :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you! :)

vacation starts now :)

@prologic@twtxt.net haha, money goes out fast. but its nice too see some savings grow a bit.

Today one crypto I invested in went up over 70%, the other 20%. The bank I have fucks us over with the current economy, and earns record amounts for themselves. This is why I put savings in crypto and not in the bank. Im not trying to come across as a cryptobro or anything like that with this post (I rarely write about it).

@linux_gizmos@feeds.twtxt.net very nice! I think I have to get this one!

It’s the same type of antenna on both buildings, all though one is a actual building, and the other is just the antenna with a smaller building under the mesh structure.
I often fly flightsims, its my hobby, so I often work with waypoints, so I now just looked up the waypoint to find it’s information, to do that I looked up the closes airport, then looked around until I found the waypoint:
https://opennav.com/navaid/KR/SEL/ANYANG

So would they really place a navaid on a building that contains a UFO? I do not think so.
Would a UFO crash that close to Seoul without a since photo or video? I do not think so either.

Came across a twitter post claiming that there is a UFO in a building, meaning the ufo crashed, and then the building was built to cover it.

The tweets are here:
https://twitter.com/realityseaker/status/1677744254918049794
and here:
https://twitter.com/UAPodcast850/status/1678855434705182721

I wish it was true, but I have doubts about it.
It’s easy enough to find the building on google maps:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B024’48.5%22N+126%C2%B055’44.4%22E/@37.4134617,126.9264272,572m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d37.4134617!4d126.9290021!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu

And if you zoom out you see that it’s not even remote. So a UFO crash here without any pictures \ videos is extremely unlikely.

Also, the antenna on the roof got me thinking, I’ve seen that before, and that is where I often walk our dog, see here:

https://www.google.com/maps/@58.0845749,7.9084282,63m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net looks really good!

I understand your thoughts on this, but I would not call it a failure - because you learned a lot from it, and lots of things worked as well.
And there are alternatives for those who needs\wants activitypub, so I think also yarn\twtxt benefits from you focusing on that instead of dealing with the frustrations of activitypub integration. And maybe it’ll feel a bit better to put that on the backburner? :)

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net Finally.

my next goal is to save up to buy this one. its been my dream since we got our dog.
