In-reply-to » @lyse You hit those often? šŸ¤”

Itā€™s the second time, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Not the XFS filesystem driver anymore this time, though. Luckily, with my experience from last time it was rather easy today ā€“ once we finally managed to reproduce it. cat /proc/<PID>/{syscall,stack} were absolute key again, thank you very, very much dear Linux kernel hackers for these absolutely wonderful tools! The only tricky part left is figuring out why that actually happens.

In-reply-to » @lyse Do you really need to rely on RSS? You could just run a daily cron like I do?

@prologic@twtxt.net Does your cronjob parse the HTML, queries an API or how does it work? I parsed the video list HTML in the past. But it constantly broke, because somebody at Google thought they have to mess with the HTML every now and then. When I noticed that there are actually RSS feeds, I immediately switched. Itā€™s way better. Hereā€™s my setup: https://lyse.isobeef.org/online-video-setup/ I reckon I have to update this article with the latest achievements of #shorts exclusion.

We had 11Ā°C and a lot of wind today. I left the house at beautiful sunshine to go into the woods. I had to shelter from the rain under a coniferous tree right away for 10-15 minutes or so.

Many puddles had plenty of spawn in them. Some of the super tiny tadpoles already hatched. Unfortunately, none of them will probably make it, because all those puddles will all dry up in the next one or two months I reckon. Letā€™s hope for the best, though.

Spawn

A bird landed in the trees about 30 meters away from me and it appeared to be a larger one, like a buzzard. Only at home at the screen I then saw that it was just a pidgeon. :-)

A bit later, there was a chaffinch happily singing and picking on the forest road. I could close in to about five meters before it flew half a meter further and continued. So I made a few steps, too. That game continued for over five minutes, before it then decided to relocate four meters higher onto a branch to let me pass by beneath. Pretty cool!

Itā€™s always impressive to see that every now and then YouTube manages to break all feeds for several hours straight. 404s for hours on end. My hourly cronjob failed three times this morning. Youā€™d think at least one test would fail in their CI/CD pipeline to prevent that.

In-reply-to » @lyse The sad thing here is that I've now banned and blocked Youtube at the network over here. I need a way to solve for "when someone links me to a Youtube clip" or "how do I fix X" Youtube tutorial videos. Those are the only two use-cases I can't easily find a good solution for. The addition however is gone, since now I just sync the family's (Kids, Wife, me) favourite Youtubers (channels) to my local Plex archive.

@prologic@twtxt.net As a workaround, you can add Alexā€™s channel to your archive: https://www.youtube.com/@anengineersfindings If anyone of you likes engineering stuff, thatā€™s certainly worth it. :-)

We participated with the scouts in the county cleanup day and even found a whole rubbish dump at the edge of the woods. Somebody must have dumped a whole truck load down the hill and burried half of it. We filled up a complete trailer with that. I reckon you can get much more out of this place.

Just in time for the start of the event, it began pouring down on us. It was very muddy, but still good fun. One cub scout said: ā€œOh, this is so cool! Walking around earlier on the paths and picking up trash wasnā€™t bad, but this here is really awesome. I really do enjoy it a lot. Look how much trash there is. Crazy!ā€

It took me half an hour to hose down all the clay from my rain jacket, -trousers and boots. What a mess.

In-reply-to » I've gathers my ideas about mentions for twtxt/yarn here: Webmentions vs. custom mentions spec for twtxt/yarn - HedgeDoc You are welcome to edit and comment in the doc, so our ideas are not fragment into a bunch of treads

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I do like the simplicity of Twtxt with the extensions we already have, so I personally do not have a need for some server-side mentioning. But I read through your proposal and fixed a few typos.

I wondered how a client would figure out the endpoint where to POST to.

In-reply-to » Thank you, for giving us a choice Microsoft Media

@thecanine@twtxt.net Since they dropped the Linux ā€œdesktopā€ version, I have to use it in Chromium. What annoys the hell out of me:

  1. In a call with exactly two participants the ā€œViewā€ menu doesnā€™t do anything anymore. I cannot focus on the content of the screenshare and always have the silly screen space wasted on the right with a giant, useless other personā€™s profile picture. As soon as a third participant is in the call, the ā€œViewā€ menu works again. For months now. You canā€™t even make it the default in the settings.

  2. Over the last couple of weeks screenshares seem to get delayed for up to 20 seconds sometimes. I never experienced that before. This makes pair programming or diagnosing stuff very hard and way more time consuming than it should be.

  3. I somehow never find the chat box. With the old Linux client that was no problem, but since they moved it to the top, it always takes me several seconds to open it.

  4. Sometimes the first call in the morning ends up in total silence so I have to restart Chromium. It then works.

  5. On live events I have to completely remove all the cookies and login again, because I get the error message that I have to accept third party cookies. Even if the ten domains or so are explicitly whitelisted or all third party cookies are accepted. Always get the error. Each and every time.

In-reply-to » I can't believe software developers are still trying to get people to do curl | sh. It's easy to miss the problem if you're still in the mindset of Windows software distribution, but these people are writing software on GNU/Linux, for GNU/Linux. You would think they'd realize that this is never a good idea.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yep, so wrong on so many levels.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I just donā€™t want to run such crapware. Browser, mail client and video player aside, I think I donā€™t do too bad on that regard with my private stuff. Yeah, definitely ignoring the situation at the dayjob.

@prologic@twtxt.net Only for Rust. Otherwise I stay away from that for sure.

In-reply-to » @mckinley I prefer not forcing people to go elsewhere to read things that relate here, within a context that exist here (a "yarn"). I have the feeling less than half will go read what you wrote on your notes---that includes me. I might be wrong.

FWIW, I read @mckinley@mckinley.ccā€™s notes. Because I know they are not only well researched, but also well written. I sometimes even end up spreading these articles to other mates who are not in the Twtxt universe. This only very rarely happens with regular messages here.

But yeah, I absolutely get your point as well, @bender@twtxt.net. I also do not mind long messages over here. So I support you in increasing message length limits. :-)

In-reply-to » It's time to rebuild Newsboat again after over a year. Now I have to upgrade my Rust installation.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, Alexander Batischev tries to keep the Rust version bumps fairly moderate with Newsboat: https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/709

I was actually positively surprised that after the outlined rustup upgrade oneliner above, running make in Newsboat again worked flawlessly. Nothing else required. I delayed rebuilding for quite some time because I thought getting this Rust toolchain sorted out is going to be a major endeavor. Luckily, I was wrong. :-)

I just donā€™t know if I now have two Rust installations in parallel or not. Or how much disk space I waste with all this. At least the script didnā€™t tell me it found an old installation. It printed heaps of stuff, but skimming over it, I didnā€™t see anything like that. I then simply selected the regular install. Whatever that meant. Researching this topic will be a project for another day if Iā€™m really bored.

In-reply-to » Analysing our electricity usage over the past 24 months and noticing some discrepancies with the supplier's data. Gaps, and flat out wrong values (e.g: solar feed in values at night?!)

@prologic@twtxt.net No idea, in theory that could work. But Iā€™d assume very low output. Or you just have extremely good panels. You could try to improve the yield by moving them under the street lamps at night. :-D

We rode our bicycles to the Reiterleskapelle (Riderā€™s Chapel). At first the sun was out but then it vanished behind the clouds. Icy headwind from the east and a subtle incline all the time made for a physically demanding journey there. The way home was rather quick and effortless. We could have used gloves, it didnā€™t feel like 14Ā°C at all, not even close.

15 shows the drain pipe for the giant tree hole.

In-reply-to » Righto, I hand-planed seven crossbars, two uprights and cut the first crossbar to length and sawed/chiseled the first mortise for it. Just have to plane 14Ā more uprights and 25Ā crossbeams, cut 31 crossbars to final length and make 61 more mortises. And then the ladders for the laundry shelves are already done.

Itā€™s finally up! Well, at least the first part of the L. Half way completed. I used just hand tools except for cutting and routing the sheets of OSB and drilling into the concrete wall.

In-reply-to » Not making THREADING the default view of e-mail clients and thus teaching users that e-mail is ā€œchaoticā€ (if you get a lot of mail, it becomes unusable without threading) and ā€œneedsā€ full quoting all the time was one of the worst mistakes ever.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Today I actually received an e-mail Ć  la ā€œI reply directly to your questions down below in redā€. Not the same, but I was still happily surprised. With my own plaintext reply I got rid of his nice colorā€¦ ;-)

The only upside with TOFU is that you can easily forward an entire conversation to somebody else. But these chains tend to be quite horrible to read anyway.

In-reply-to » QOTD: Do you keep a personal archive of Git repositories? If so, how? My backup system is a poorly written, inefficient shell script that I run manually when I think about it and I'd like to do something about that. The Yuzu and Citra emulators were taken down recently and I have a ~3 day old backup of Yuzu's repository but nothing for Citra.

@mckinley@twtxt.net No, I donā€™t mirror code from others unless I work on that project, too. But then itā€™s all manual git fetch, nothing automated. If something is taken down or vandalised I hope that somebody else has a mirror and can help restore. This of course only works for popular code bases.

Good thought, though. I might have to look through my dependencies and identify candidates that might not have somebody who could help to get things back online.

In-reply-to » @lyse gron does something very similar with JSON. I used to use it more, but these days I just reach for jq instead.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Woah, how cool is that!? :-D Thank you! Iā€™m sure gron will come in very handy some day, now that I have it in my tool bag. My jq skills are pretty much non-existent, though. I donā€™t use it often enough.
