ABC Australia is reporting of a potential market manipulation in the US. Potential? I would call it almost certain. For as much as I would like not to be dragged into politics, it is rather impossible these days.

Hit by the arvo sun rays behind the window I was convinced that it is t-shirt weather. Deep blue sky, yeah, for sure! It turned out to be just 15°C and declining, though. So, I had to wear my jacket on today’s windy stroll. Pretty nice. Didn’t take many photos, but there you go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-10/

oh out of boredom yesterday i made my blog available via markdown files too so you can use charmbracelet/glow to read them in your terminal :)

basically i just set up a file directory on a path of my blog, organized the MD files by year, and so in theory you can navigate to that path and choose a folder, then copy a link to a markdown post and run this:

glow -p https://bubblegum.girlonthemoon.xyz/md/2025/2025-03-31%20premature%20reflections%20on%20sudden%20responsibility.md

and then as long as you have glow installed, you can read my posts from the terminal :D it’s so cool

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Also very nice! Mf favourite has to be

The end.

OH wait! 😳 Why am I storing the timestamp as created = 2025-04-07T19:59:51Z ?! 😱 @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s feed shows:

And we’re back to the regular landscape! Not only in subject but also photo orientation. No more silly portrait. I can’t recall it exactly, but I reckon that was one of ~20°C days. The evening sun was really crazy that day, made a great combination with the puddles: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-02/

Image

Pretty sunset from last weekend: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-03-30/

Image

And now, let’s finish it off with Besigheim’s old town. Only when we left, the sun peaked through the clouds. That was a bit unfortunate, but what can you do? It has some nice buildings. https://lyse.isobeef.org/besigheim-2025-03-30/

Image

@david@collantes.us This pink tree I featured in a few shots is a magnolia tree. I haven’t noticed any particular smell, it just looks pretty. :-) That’s a close-up: https://lyse.isobeef.org/bad-wimpfen-2025-03-28/18.jpg (I only noticed the spider and its web when I reviewed my photos.)

The photo series covering old stuff continues. This time, Gundelsheim. Actually, mostly the castle hotel Horneck, I hardly took any photos from the town itself. I really should have, though. Let me just blame… aehm… yeah, the rain! It’s totally the rain’s fault!! When it started to drizzle, I actually took the first photos, so it’s a total lie. https://lyse.isobeef.org/schlosshotel-horneck-in-gundelsheim-2025-03-30/

Image

Hirschhorn also offers a nice old town. The castle with all its many buildings up the mountain is very beautiful. This is my absolutely favorite one, it just looks soo great:

Image

Walking back down the narrow stairs with all the crooked, well-worn steps of different heights and lengths was quite challenging.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/hirschhorn-2025-03-30/

A hike to the highest mountain in the Odenwald, the Katzenbuckel, lit. cat hillock. It was very windy and the sun very rarely showed its face, so it was quite chilly. Nice scenery, nevertheless. Surprisingly, this ski-jumping hill is still in operation. I’ve never expected this in a hundred years, judging by its state. https://lyse.isobeef.org/katzenbuckel-2025-03-29/

Image

Eberbach is nowhere near Bad Wimpfen in comparison, but still has a nice historic old town: https://lyse.isobeef.org/eberbach-2025-03-29/

Image

Bad Wimpfen has a pretty cool old town with timber framed houses. Looks really beautiful: https://lyse.isobeef.org/bad-wimpfen-2025-03-28/

thanks for sharing @xuu@txt.sour.is!

Checking for example https://watcher.sour.is/api/plain/twt or https://registry.twtxt.org/api/plain/tweets, I don’t know whether this syntax is being used by clients or by people. Is it integrated on Yarn in any way? Genuinely asking to know more about it.

If I might throw a quick thought to those working on the registries, it would be nice to have an endpoint with a valid twtxt output (perhaps cached or dumped to a static file) which a client could point to, helping to discover it’s content in a way which is compatible with the twtxt spec.

Taking the first twt I found in https://watcher.sour.is/api/plain/twt as an example:
reddit_world_news https://feeds.twtxt.net/Reddit_World_News/twtxt.txt 2025-03-28T00:29:25Z **China bans US logs. 3 billion dollar[...])
it would be something like
TIME <@NICK URL> TWT
2025-03-28T00:29:25Z <@reddit_world_news https://feeds.twtxt.net/Reddit_World_News/twtxt.txt> **China bans US logs. 3 billion dollar[...])

That way you could watch the latest twts with your client, something similar to what we find on Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/public/local

Some support from the clients to separate these ‘discovery’ content, from your following timeline might be required. 🤔

This time, I brought my cam along. We checked out a piece of ex-forest they’ve cut down. It looks terrible now. :-( At least the spruce resin smell was nice. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-03-27/

Is there a way to auto-insert a time stamp on vi or vim at the beginning of each line? Like, upon opening like so:

2025-03-20 15:04:03 Blah blah blah blah
2025-03-20 15:04:15 Bleh bleh bleh bleh
2025-03-20 15:04:22 ...

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Can you reproduce any of this outside of your client? I can’t spot a mistake here:

In the meantime, I tried to add English subtitles, so the international audience has a chance of enjoying some of them, too. There are a bunch of puns, so translations don’t work at that great.

I went to an exhibition of my fine arts teacher who passed away last year. He was a pretty cool dude and good teacher. I reckon I had him in 7th and probably also 8th grade. His Schelme (imps) were very famous here in this county and presumably well beyond.

Unfortunately, picture frame glas doesn’t mix all that great with a fairly dark light and my camera. So, sorry in adavance for the poor quality. Anyway, I photographed a few funny paintings. Watch out, it may contain saucy contents: https://lyse.isobeef.org/siegfried-wagner-farrenstall-2025-03-15/.

Ich war auf der Ausstellung meines letztes Jahr verstorbenen BK-Lehrers. Er war ein ziemlich cooler Typ und guter Lehrer. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, müsste ich ihn in der 7. und vermutlich auch 8. Klasse gehabt haben. Seine Schelme waren hier im Landkreis und vermutlich darüber hinaus weit bekannt.

Bilderrahmenglas in Verbindung mit vergleichsweise dunkler Beleuchtung gibt leider keine gute Kombination mit meiner Kamera ab. Vorab entschuldige ich mich bereits für die zu wünschen übrig lassende Qualität. Nichtsdestotrotz habe ich ein paar witzige Bilder abfotografiert. Obacht, kann mitunter anzüglichen Inhalt enthalten: https://lyse.isobeef.org/siegfried-wagner-farrenstall-2025-03-15/

pls elaborate on a ‘p2p database’, ‘all story’ and ‘Registries’.

My first thought takes me to something like secure-scuttlebutt which it’s painful to sync data using clients, and too slow compared to downloading a text file.

Also I’d like for twtxt to avoid becoming an ActivityPub. Works well but it’s uses too many resources IMO.
https://kingant.net/2025/02/mastodon-the-cost-of-running-my-own-server/

I’m defending being able to self-host your Web client (like you’d do with a Wordpress, twtxt is a micrologging, at the end), instead of federated instances, so in a first thought I’d say Registries have many disadvantages being the first one that someone has to maintain them active.

I watched two squirrels this morning for about half an hour: https://lyse.isobeef.org/eichhoernchen-2025-03-11/ They were super crazy fast. Also, they bit off plenty of twigs and carried them around, not sure where they put them. I’ve never seen them do that before. Once more I realized that I need a better zoom.

Image

Which photos would you remove?

We had a very sunny day, peaking at 19°C. This not only decoyed me out, but also plenty motorcycle terrorists. Eh fuckwits, nobody wants to listen to your bloody engine and exhaust noise, keep it quiet for fuck’s sake! Many of your rider collegues can manage it, too, so should you.

I had some sore muscles after yesterday’s waste paper collection with the scouts. So, I only went for a short trip to my closest backyard mountain. Watching two rock climbers was interesting. That’s not something I see very often.

Image

https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-03-09/

I went on a 5:30 hours long hike to my second backyard mountain. About 12km to get there and roughly 9km on the way back. It was super nice, sunny all day long, 12°C and luckily just a little bit of wind. Great scenery. I managed to capture one great spotted woodpecker hammering along. There was also a kestrel hovering over a meadow and then landing on a sports field light pole. At the castle ruin I could watch 10-12 gliding red kites (with the V-shaped tail) and other raptors, maybe bussards, I don’t know, for about five minutes. That was fascinating. Unfortunately, my camera doesn’t too well with moving targets.

Hey everyone!

About the idea of improving the “thread” extension, what if we set aside March 2025 to gather proposals and thoughts from everyone? We could then vote on them at the end of the month to see if the change and migration are worth it.

The voting could include client maintainers (and maybe even users too). That way, we get a good mix of perspectives before taking a decision in a decent timelapse.

What do you think? If this sounds good, we can start agreeing on this. Let me know your thoughts!

@prologic@twtxt.net its hard to change by consensus. Some things are won in implementation.

We went up our backyard mountain again right after lunch. The sun peaked through the clouds sometimes. The 6°C felt much, much cooler with the northeast wind. We got lucky, though, it was dead calm at the summit. At least on the southwestern side, which is a few meters lower than the very top to the east. That was shielded absolutely perfectly from the wind (we were extremely surprised), so we sat down on a bench and could really enjoy the sun heating us up. Apart from the haze, the view was really nice.

There were even patches of snow left up top, that was unexpected. Also, somebody created a cool rock art piece on a tree stump. That one rock absolutely looked like a face. Crazy!

This document is the result of a series of discussions between Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin and John Ousterhout, held between September 2024 and February 2025. The text addresses three main topics: method length, comments, and Test Driven Development (TDD).
https://github.com/johnousterhout/aposd-vs-clean-code/blob/main/README.md
This is something to read and reflect on for days.

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry to disappoint (again): https://blogs.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/2025/02/24/latest-calculations-conclude-asteroid-2024-yr4-now-poses-no-significant-threat-to-earth-in-2032-and-beyond/

It was mostly cloudy, but every now and then the sun peaked through. With very little wind, the 12°C felt quite nice. Especially for a hike. With the sun completely hidden and more wind, the lunch break at the summit was a bit chilly, though.

There’s a bad looking crack in the climbing rock in 10. When you have eagle eyes, you might be able to see the hooks in the cliff for the climbing ropes. I haven’t seen this one before. Also, it looked like several cubic meters of earth, grass and rock fell off the top.

On the way home, it got much more sunny. I found yet another skyrocket stick. That was pretty neat. And we saw the first field of snowdrops. With some bees checking them out. In total we walked a bit over 15km.

Der Wahl-O-Mat zur Bundestagswahl 2025 ist da!

My hike today started off with a nice great spotted woodpecker right after the town sign. The -1°C didn’t feel all that cold in the sun. Even on the flat, I had to open my jacket with the sun on my back. The biotope got dug over, that’s now looking really sad. And they also fell a few large chestnuts. Surprisingly, there was actually snow on the mountain. Not much, maybe around three centimeters at most. It was melting and falling down the trees, which looked really cool. I enjoyed it a lot: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-02-04/

👋👋 Reminders that this weekend our monthly Yarn.social online meetup. Who’s coming? 🤔 Some possible topics:

• Direct Messaging for Twtxt
  
• @prologic@twtxt.net ’s new EdgeGuard services 🤣
  
• What’s the weather like? 👍

• Where: https://meet.mills.io/call/Yarn.social

anyone have any fun plans for 2025?

Cleaning up some of the 500 open tabs on my phone. I realized that if I don’t have some place to stash the good ones, I won’t go through any. http://a.9srv.net/b/2025-01-16

Heck yeah, that’s really cool! Let’s hope for a clear sky: “On the evening of 28 February 2025, all seven of the other planets in the Solar System will appear in the night sky at the same time, with Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars all lining up in a neat row – a magnificent sky feast for the eyes known as a great planetary alignment.” https://www.sciencealert.com/a-rare-alignment-of-7-planets-is-about-to-take-place-in-the-sky

“2025” doesn’t look right. That looks like a date which is absurdly far into the future. Like 2199 or something.

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I appreciate you! and don’t you worry about it, if 2025 doesn’t behave itself we Will make it! 🦾 (now I know the real meaning behind the expression of Making it)

A much nicer start into the year than all the hell yesterday. However, just as I type this, there come also the next round of explosions as darkness falls. Those bloody fuckers, please blow yourselves up!

2024 was okay for me, but 2025 is gonna be real shit. 😂 So much annoying stuff coming up. Gotta enjoy the moment, who knows how long it will last. 😅

Happy new year, you guys. 🥳

Good riddance 2024…
2025, be good or else.

Happy new year Twtxt people. I’m grateful for getting to meet/talk to you all, It certainly was the best thing to have happened to me in this “2024” chapter of my life.

Happy New Year y’all ! 🥳 Hello #2025 👋

2024 was a funny year: The year begins and ends with calendar week 1:
