@kiwu@twtxt.net Thanks!

@kiwu@twtxt.net Sick at home. 🤧

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Die Holgi-Sachen sind auch so das einzige, was ich noch mehr oder weniger regelmäßig höre (und mit Spenden versehe). Die langjährige Radio-Moderator-Erfahrung, die da drinsteckt, ist einfach Gold wert. ✨

@bender@twtxt.net Yes, but my description is more accurate 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net ah, yes, the classical “fuck work!” in its verbose form. 😅😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Und da konnte ich nicht widerstehen und hab die Folge doch sogleich angehört. Herrlich, sehr kurzweilig, spannend und lehrreich. In der Tat ganz schön viele Arschgesichter, hihihi. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, cool! Holgi hab ich schon jahrelang nimmer gehört (allgemein Podcasts), das sollte ich schleunigst wieder ändern. Diese Folge scheint mir als Wiedereinstieg nach dem arbeitsreichen Wochenende bestens geeignet. Insbesondere die „Holgi ruft an“-Reihe hab ich in sehr guter Erinnerung.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that https://namecensus.com/ is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, nice. Yeah, I also only know older Giselas. Not sure why that name fell out of fashion this dramatically, though. Be that as it may, this hot greenfinch girl will help to repopularize it again!

@prologic@twtxt.net Cheers 🤪

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, almost everybody sells their soul to some form of devil. So did I. :-D

@bender@twtxt.net I misread that sentence and thought that your first crush was called Gisela, and was like “wait, he’s not that old”.

Turns out, Gisela is a much younger name than I thought:

https://namecensus.com/first-names/gisela-meaning-and-history/

A peak in the late 1970is and late 1990ies? What?

But then it turned out that, in Germany, the popularity dropped rapidly in the late 1950ies, which actually matches my expectations:

https://www.beliebte-vornamen.de/5203-gisela.htm

In other words, some other countries picked up the name Gisela after it had already faded away in Germany.

What a fun rabbit hole. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org love the name! That’s the name of one my childhood first crush’s mum. LOL. And now she is a lovely bird! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you. I just got very lucky, though. Anyway, let me introduce you to Gisela. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org your wildlife photography is getting much better! Got to name them, what do you think? Too early? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ouch. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Yeah, super sweet. :-) I was lucky to capture this beautie again today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/gruenfink-2026-05-06/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, they messed up the signing key rotation: https://blog.denic.de/technische-storung-bei-de-domains-behoben/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org green or not, it is lovely. So effortlessly perked at the top of the tree! Ah, if only we could see the world as birds do…! <3

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Isn’t that a cutie! 😍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yep, this was a big oopsie at DENIC:

• https://blog.denic.de/denic-informiert-uber-storung-im-dnssec-fur-de-domains/
  
• https://blog.denic.de/denic-informiert-uber-die-behebung-der-dnssec-storung-fur-de-domains/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org movq.de took ages to come up, but it finally did. Weird.

@bender@twtxt.net Let me offer some cheese to @xuu@txt.sour.is. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see, thank you. Maybe I remember next time. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Aww, this is beautiful! Too many people for me, but they’re cetainly great to show the scale. Quite some impressive falls. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net It’s been a while (6.5 years) since I’ve done this. I’d do it like this:

• Boot some Linux from a USB stick on the new machine. Preferably Arch Linux, since that is what I’m running and that’ll make the upcoming chroot easier.
  
• Partition the new disk, create LUKS devices, filesystems, …
  
• Mount the new filesystems and copy all data (user data and the system itself – everything). Do this either over the network or by hooking up the old disk directly.
  
• chroot into the new system (Arch has an arch-chroot tool for that which is used during normal installation, if I’m not mistaken). Inside the chroot, install the bootloader.
  
• Do some fixups, like adjusting /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab.
  

And I think that should be it. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I believe it’s been money well spent if I’m to be honest. It’s a great “get away” and “adventure” for not just myself but the family too. Getting away from it all, experiencing nature and what this wonderful country has to offer is pretty nice 👍 As long as we keep up the adventures over the long time, use it several times a year, it will be very well wroth the investment 👌

Hey, @xuu@txt.sour.is, mouse, where are thou? Silent these days, way too silent.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I would love to read a more detailed account on these moves. When you write moved, you mean user data, correct?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com is there a Gamer Master, or Dungeon Master in Magic? My kid plays DnD, and such person is decisive for many outcomes, and for the quality of the game in general.

Congratulations! :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net nice! Looks like a great place to be. I wouldn’t mind, just about now! How is the camper behaving? Got all your money worth already? Based on your light participation around here I am tempted to say yes. :-D

On the weekend just gone we also visited Twin Falls, which was absolutely magnificent!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org These days (and it’s been like that for a while), almost everything is loaded on-demand depending on which hardware the OS finds, so you can simply copy all your files with cp -a, install a bootloader, adjust some minor things /etc/fstab, done. Well, maybe not “done”, but it’s easy to sort out the remaining stuff afterwards.

I’ve moved the Arch installation at work from a stationary Dell workstation to an Acer laptop to a Lenovo Carbon laptop to a Tuxedo laptop to a Lenovo Thinkpad. 😅

Yeah, the keyboard of the netbook isn’t all that great, but I have to say that I absolutely love netbooks. And I hate that they got replaced by tablets and smartphones. A netbook is a normal PC, just very small and super easy to carry around – that’s brilliant!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, nice! I never was brave enough to try to move the OS to a different machine, always reinstalled from scratch. :-S

A mate also had this or a very similar white Samsung netbook. I remember typing on that thing was no fun at all for me, never hit the single right key. :-D

I’m not a fan of netbooks, there’s not remotely enough screen space for my taste. I always had 15 inch notebook. Sure, they are way heavier, but I can actually get work with them done. And yes, glared screens are an invention right from the devil himself. Completely stupid.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s a way much cleaner design. Not so overloaded anymore.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Turns out, this actually was a little machine once (small netbook): https://movq.de/blog/postings/2011-04-28/0/POSTING-de.html And then I moved the whole installation to a different laptop later. I love that you can easily do that on Linux.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Happy birthday, little machine!

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I didn’t expect that name either. :-D And it’s actually a cave, too.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, lol, it’s literally called that: https://www.queensland.com/au/en/places-to-see/experiences/nature-and-wildlife/everything-to-know-about-natural-bridge 😂

@kiwu@twtxt.net Dang it! I first thought it was jitters due to your exams. Hang in there!

@bender@twtxt.net Natural Brisge lol 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh yeah, very beautiful! I can hear the roaring of the waterfall and like to be there, too. The first shot makes it look like you’re in the middle of a cave. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Very cute. :-)

@kiwu@twtxt.net 😩😩😩

Natural Bridge

The smallest sitting canine drawn so far, yet more detailed, than some of the previous ones.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Absolutely right. And I cannot say that I’m not guilty of that either.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that’s a nice one! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. Once you truly know Germans (if such thing is possible, hahahaha!), you realise the stereotype is totally uncalled for.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz where are thou?! Haven’t seeing you like, in light years!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yes, yarnd has a few parser (?) issues that were never resolved. If only a powerful token predictor could fix it, once and for all… 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de here here 🙌

@yarn_police@twtxt.net Looks like the rendering in yarnd is off. The second subject (prisoner error!) was robbed, its link text got stolen.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks, mate! Yeah, that never gets old, there’s something magically about it. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Those are some great shots! “Sun through leaves” always works. 😃 And the tweeting bird, lovely. 😃

@bender@twtxt.net How poetic, very well said. :-) It calls for the small man’s adventures.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 33! Wow! Very good stash on clicks, Lyse! And that Ford van reminds me of the police account used to keep order around here. LOL. It’s a gem!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it makes it more real, and truthful. We don’t want no pedicured road, with fairies flying around. It is the real deal! :-)

@kiwu@twtxt.net woot, woot!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that road…. 😍

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net twtstrm/0.4.0 is from Eric. The getwtxt-ng/dev seems to be this.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net yarnd/*

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org love the video! And the colours of the sky! And yes, that’s Azabache alright. His singing just get better!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Omg, that’s quiet. Did you do some filtering on this? No traffic noise? No drunk men shouting? 😳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very cool! 😎 Love that little birdy in the video too 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wider, wiiiiider, wideeeeeeeerrrrr! :-D :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 4 is a keeper! Wish it was landscape, perfect for a wall then. :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I see him on those photos, and his singing starts ringing in my ears. I also thought, “I am going to miss him” because, you know, nothing is everlasting. But then I reproached myself; “enjoy the moment, dude, don’t taint it”. And so I shall.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thank you! I got visual now! 🙈 Now, you had to pull out a pic from winter, to make those of us constantly burning in “hell” jealous, eh? 😂

@bender@twtxt.net Well I’m open to ideas of course 😅 My goal here was to build something like a Civ-1 inspired game that’s playable online and multiplayer. Do you remember this old bad boy that was played on PC(s) on MS-DOS ?! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net I am going to give it a more serious spin (meaning I am going to go read the help page). I’ve got to tell you though, most successful games do not need a help. But I am fully aware that there is a subset of gamers that would not mind—if not appreciate—a game with help, manual, and the likes.

@bender@twtxt.net Anything I can do to help with getting started with the game? Help page not enougH/ Some “Getting Started” guide? Walk-through? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah !

Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?

I’ll do this for sure!

@prologic@twtxt.net I am fairly bad, or have a very poor understanding of the game, so I can’t figure out what to do. Tried a few times. 😅 Also, I am sure you know by now, but it is not mobile friendly at all. Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?

Congratulations!

495 turns and about ~4hrs alter I won! 🙌 Small map, 2-players, myself and an AI player. 😅 – It took forever to beach the island the AI player was on and get enough Galley’s and Swordsmen just to push back and eventually slowly destroy all enemy units and capture all cities! 🤣

@marcorocco@roccodrom.de found any treasure? Don’t worry, you can tell me, I am a crypt. :’-D

@kiwu@twtxt.net no much, just pondering what comes next.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it is beautiful!

@kiwu@twtxt.net Working on my game Frontier Crown – Going to push a new version today hopefully that includes much improved graphics, expanded ruleset and scope.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org first time you twtxt about having a bicycle, and now I am curious to see it. Show us a click! 🙈

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Really depends on the genre, I guess. 🤔 Quite a lot of “non-pop” music still uses the format “concept album”, I think. 🤔 But don’t ask me for any solid statistics. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org maybe they go after the impact. A single? Meh. An album? “Woah! These guy(s)/gal(s) are busy!” Also more possibilities for people liking at least one song. Anyway, that’s my theory, and I am sticking to it! :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I will watch it. I was too quick to dismiss!

@prologic@twtxt.net wow, that’s failure at the next level, and for such a minutiae technicality! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh dear lord, I now need to schedule a day to check my 33 ladders! :-P

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Check https://twtxt.dev/clients.html

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I donate to the Signal Foundation for this reason.

As an enjoyer of delightfully bad graphic design, found on most Czech village center cork boards, I’m sad to see the stolen clipart and badly cropped watermarked stock images, gradually replaced with AI slop.

This is far from a serious rant, but generating images of my kind being telepathically hit with sharp rocks, surely gives me a right to complain.

So far these seem the most prominent slop categories, seem to be…

Architecture slop:

1. find a sketch of what an old building looked like
   
   
2. generate an AI version, without correcting any of the perspective errors - this one is diagonally levitating
   
   
3. generate a recreation of the buildings demise - after going through the AI, for the second time, it is now a completely different building
   
   

Moralizing slop:

History slop:

@prologic@twtxt.net I sponsor no one. If getting paid is the aim, form a business, or sell a product. I donate to just causes, though, including sponsorship to the dispossessed.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Those are some very colorful shots. 👌 It was pretty warm here as well, health issues prevented me from going out, though.

(Have we established that Azabache is male? 😃)

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I should cancel Netflix as well. Back when they started their streaming service, it was a revelation: Finally, I could watch interesting shows in English, without having to wait for years, and legally (I like to be a paying customer, if it’s good). But this is long over. The interesting shows are gone or, once again, I have to wait for years until they’re available on Netflix. So, why bother anymore? 🤷‍♀️

@rnlog@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Well, welcome back. 👋

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Right. :(

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it is lots of work, but things do not need to happen overnight! Take it easy, baby steps. I think it will be worth it!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hmmm, pizza! With that amount of food (a) I wouldn’t complain, and (b) I will be obese on my return. LOL.

They are all very nice @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org! You truly need some sort of easy to navigate website with them all, categorised, and such… A robot can dream, right? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so beautiful! Azabache is so faithful too! That bird deserves some unsalted, organic seeds!
