@movq@www.uninformativ.de HTTP 402!

@arg@twtpub.com You actually can, but we highly discourage it and I haven’t really built “Edit” / “Delete” functionality in the Twtxt App that I know you’re using 😅 Twtxt being purely decentralised, meaning that there are absolutely zero decentralised, with the exception of the twtpub.com service you’re using to reduce as much friction as possible for newcomers to try things, makes supporting threads a bit of a controversial topic 😆 – In the end we are sticking with the Hash v2 extension, making threads use content addressing, so even if you did delete/edit a Twt, you have to be carefuly it hasn’t already been replied to in the ecosystem 🤣

@david@daiwei.me Haha 😆

@arg@twtpub.com ohai

@david@daiwei.me since I became linuxpilled and embraced SSH, I do my Wordles through https://late.sh/

Can strongly recommend it, even has all the other daily puzzles: minesweeper, sudoku, solitaire, nonogram (kinda hate those),…

Maybe not the best family activity, the chat can be somewhat spicy and so can the collaborative ASCII art drawing game.

@arg@twtpub.com Hello! 👋

@murad@twtxt.net Yes things do work 🤣

@murad@twtxt.net Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🥳 You might want to fiddle a bit with your settings, maybe a nice avatar, description, maybe a few links, etc 😃

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Dropped you en Email 📧

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Can I count you in as a potential customer then? I’ll find a way to DM and share details with you. But rest assured it’ll have everything you could possibly want 😅

@david@daiwei.me I’ll DM you 😅

@david@daiwei.me Haha 🤣

@creeper@twtpub.com Hey ! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@arne@uplegger.eu Schade um diese ganzen Giganten. Das wird uns zukünftig öfters blühen.

@arne@uplegger.eu Achso, klasse Atlas, dieser Copernicus-Browser! Danke, kannte ich noch nicht.

@arne@uplegger.eu Also von da oben sieht das meiner Auffassung nach wirklich hübsch aus, da kann man echt nichts sagen. Mir gefällt’s prächtig. Gut, wenn man dieser Brühe dann auf Meereshöhe begegnet, ist das sicherlich ‘ne andere Sache.

@david@daiwei.me Haha, what a funny price, 1234 cents!

@david@daiwei.me Next year, apparently, but less spectacular. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! Oh yes, observing the sun is exhausting, it’s always so hot. And for not using a tripod, these shots are pretty good!

Nach der Sitte der damaligen Zeit erblickte man in dem Erscheinen des ungewöhnlich großen Fisches den Vorboten künftigen Unheils.

Oh, bitte nicht schon wieder … wo soll das alles nur noch hinführen?

@brytboi@twtpub.com I hope you’re seeing my replies because you absolutely can scroll up in the app. Let me know if you’ve run into a bug though and report it to me so I can fix it immediately!

@brytboi@twtpub.com no a subset of markdown is fully supported by the app!

@brytboi@twtpub.com I mean you can, technically. But most clients won’t render Javascript or HTML fragments at all. Only Markdown, Text, Images and Links.

@brytboi@twtpub.com Hey! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@david@daiwei.me Please report any logs from the Javascript console if you can. It’s possible the one commit I made to the Swag framework might be the culprit here. Not sure.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You are correct, 👍, however, not what I was thinking in this case. More of just a reminder/nudge.

Yum, yum, yum. @david@daiwei.me, I’d absolutely love to taste your exploded kebab! It looks fantastic, my mouth is watering.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hell yeah, this is awesome! Great shots!

When I checked at the beginning, the sun was already way behind the trees. I then decided to wait until the end before leaving the house and melting in direct sunlight at 31°C. At the hill, there were around 15 people in camping chairs and on picnic rugs. Some dragged out their camera gear as well.

My first two photos were through the eclipse glasses. In contrast to others, I didn’t bring my tripod and just used a tree as a crappy makeshift one. With the large zoom it’s impossible to keep it still for one second (what my cam decided to be the exposure time). Leaning the camera against the side of the tree is just not good enough.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hahaha, I never came across the term slopsmith before. :‘-D

@prologic@twtxt.net I could be very wrong – wouldn’t be the first time – weren’t push notifications part of the evil things to avoid? :-? Anyway, happy hacking!

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy Ekka Wednesday! I’d loved to have a day off, too, but was slaving away.

@david@daiwei.me broken how? wiring here

@david@daiwei.me Do you mind re-testing too with the updates i just pushed out? 🙏

Testinf image upload fixes…

Testing image upload fixes 🙏

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Not sure if @mariam@twtpub.com will ever see or respond to our welcomes tbh 😢 I caught the new user trying out the Twtxt App 4 days too left 🤦‍♂️ – I think I need to make some improvements to the app, some nudges, something to encourage users to stick around? Maybe some periodic push notifications? 🤔

@mariam@twtpub.com Hey! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@david@daiwei.me It’s like Rummy but with more freedom which makes it a hell lot more interesting. You’re allowed to manipulate everything that’s on the table, trigger jokers, recombine the cards as long as there are at least three in a row after your move, not just simply add cards to existing rows (or whatever the correct terminology is). It’s good fun and mental exercise.

@david@daiwei.me Thank you 🙏

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, the world is quick in inventing a better idiot. :-D

@david@daiwei.me Also if you wouldn’t mind writing up an Issue for the image/upload problem too, that would be great 👍 I still haven’t solved it properly, but I’ll try to do so today. There’s also an issue uploading images via the yarnd API path from the Twtxt App too, which I can replicate with basically any photo from my iPhone’s Photo gallery hmm 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Are you able to describe this bug as an Issue in the Gitea Issue Tracker such that it can be reproduced and fixed? 🙏

@david@daiwei.me Absolutely insane! For almost all the tools I always need two hands for sure. I can’t imagine using just a single one. And then his stuff turns out 100 times better than I could ever do.

There are advantages with just a single hand, though. I cut myself in the finger with scissors earlier. How stupid is that! :-D

@david@daiwei.me centralised right?

Thank you, @david@daiwei.me!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com It only did that after I asked it what’s going on. Before that, it treated all my attempts as regular trustworthy (but silently “corrected”) sources. Only a completely garbled up page (all words put into random order) was recognized as garbage. Everything else was: “Hey, that’s a good source! Here’s a summary: $correct_summary_with_original_meaning_even_though_the_actual_page_said_otherwise”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @david@daiwei.me Cursed shit!

@david@daiwei.me Wanna try again? 🙏

@david@daiwei.me Okay 👌

@david@daiwei.me No idea 🤷 We shall see! haha 😂

@david@daiwei.me Ahhh so you had a WebP you downloaded from somewhere on your Phone and you’re trying to uploaded it via the Twtxt.App? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Is this from your camera, or some other source of WebP somewhere? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Why not indeed 😅 I’m taking nearly a whole month off from Sept 10 to Oct 6 Haha 🤣

@david@daiwei.me It absolutely was a steam bath. sweat sweat

@david@daiwei.me Ta! I only noticed that at the computer but not when I took the photo. :-)

What have you been up to, @kiwu@twtxt.net? Already melted in this brutal heat?

In light of recent events, check out your mentions. :-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com @prologic@twtxt.net Sounds about spot on.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Third time luck… oh wait. Maybe you’ll find the disks again in the colder season. Still sounds like a good time with your mate in the outdoors. :-)

Looks like the sign had also been hit with one or the other disk over time. :-D

I really do find it difficult to follow anyone that basically posts to a wall, or doesn’t follow back. It’s utterly pointless not being able to have a conversation, like basically, at all. Maybe it’s not even anyone’s fault? Maybe just a sucky client that doesn’t understand how User-Agent works in Twtxt Discovery? 💡

@david@daiwei.me you’re quite possibly right!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hat in meinem Kreis für Lachtränen und -schmerzen geführt. Sehr gut!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com And… Are there basically a lot of “village idiots”? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Yes it does!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hahaha, I don’t recall when I first stumbled across it, but I’m sure it must have been the same experience you had.

Ignoring the consistent fuck-up of the decimal point (German reverses comma and dot, we use a comma as the decimal separator and the dot as the thousands separator), they managed to print the amount correctly in most e-mails. But the “shipping is underway” e-mail is broken. For ages.

@dce@hashnix.club @prologic@twtxt.net We’re getting cooked at humid 36°C right now. The thundergods can’t decide if we’ll be hit or not.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this reminds me of when I’d started learning C. This threw me off so bad, and it took me an unreasonable time to wrap my head around the difference between the precisions of floats and doubles. 🥲

@dce@hashnix.club nah that’s pretty hot 🥵

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I understand. Take a break and bear up! Still looking forward to any of your stuff. :-) Thank you very much for all the great things I learned from you and wonderful conversations we had. In a while, crocodile. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You will always have a welcome “virtual” home around here 🤗

@david@daiwei.me Sorry, I can’t do this anymore. A large part of my work (text, code, thoughts, …) of the last 20-25 years has been stolen and is now being sold at rampant prices to idiots who then complain about me being a backwards bitch (I get to hear this every single day). Everything I say and do in public is being abused.

Fuck that, I’m out.

@david@daiwei.me Thanks, mate! I just finished my two full version marking gauges. And I’m rather pleased with them, I think they turned out great if I say so myself.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/streichmass-mit-messerrad/

The beech fences (80 and 100mm long) were part of a former table frame that I cut down. I plugged the dowel holes with, well, dowels. The horrific looking one was the stuck original one, though. Luckily, it’s a hell lot worse on camera than in person. If you take a close look, you’ll also be able to see the large but slight chamfers one one side each that I just left alone.

I really like beech wood. It looks beautiful, is rather heavy (at least in comparison to spruce which I typically use) and thus rock solid, is also a blast to plane and the list goes on. I sanded it with 180 grit and it’s smooth as a baby’s bottom.

The 25mm beech round stocks that house the brass knurled nuts are now roughly 4cm long. That’s one thing I wanted to change right after my first experience. If they were rounded or chamfered more, it would probably be even nicer for the fingers when using the marking gauge. They’re sunken in roughly 3mm in the fences. A forstner bit made quick work. This simplified alignment during glue-up a lot. Will definitely do that again if I happen to build more. I could fully concentrate on the grain orientation and it didn’t shift around.

Just like in the prototype, I used 8mm aluminium solid round bar again for one of the marking gauges. It’s also about 15cm in length. I figure that’s enough. The bought marking gauge has a twenty-something and some change steel rod. So far, all my markings didn’t even exceed probably 50mm.

I found the 8mm brass pipe laying around on the workshop. Didn’t know anymore I had it for ages. Unfortunately, the wall thickness is below a millimeter, so my 6mm wooden dowels are sliding in there. Thus, I put 8mm dowels in my drill chuck and reduced the diameter with a rasp. I went a tiny bit too far, the press fit is on the loose side. When drilling with a 2mm drill (I did that on purpose to hopefully cause the dowel to expand a bit more in the pipe, typically the tap hole for M3 is 2.5mm) and tapping M3, the downsized and glued in dowel slipped down the pipe. Should have used construction adhesive or something along those lines. Anyway, I might replace it with a solid one. I consider this a half-successful experiment. I fear that an unfavorable grain direction might pull out the cutting wheel during use. Let’s see.

The finish of all three is boiled linseed oil. It looks nice, but oh by, this smell. I really dislike it. My hands stink even after washing them several times. I still got several liters left, so I have the dubious joy to use it on many, many other projects to come.

Oh, one last thing. Didn’t manage to drill the tiny holes for my M3x16 bolts perfectly in center like for the prototype. They’re a tiny bit off. Also, on the longer fenced marking gauge, the hole for the knurled nut is a little to the side and at an angle. No idea how I messed this up. Luckily, it’s just a look thing but doesn’t impair use.

@david@daiwei.me We’re slowly getting there. Very slowly. 8-)

@chrisgarrod@twtpub.com Hello 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@david@daiwei.me I bet, you’re absolutely right. ;-) Let’s start the countdown: 10, …

@arne@uplegger.eu @david@daiwei.me Most do actually look really good, but of course I prefer the birds. :-)

Can’t have them all, because it’s even harder to spot counterfeit notes I reckon.

@david@daiwei.me Hahaha, I love it! :‘-D I need very high precision pliers.

But now I’m owed something for that! Nearly made up for it. I can use the new clamp to press hard and shrink the coin a bit.

Welches Euro-Scheinerl hättens denn gern?

Es gibt eine öffentliche Online-Umfrage zu den Gestaltungsvorschlägen möglicher neuer Euro-Scheine.

Bis zum 21. September kann abgestimmt werden.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de give up on what?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL 🤣

@david@daiwei.me I’ll find one 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “when this stuff still mattered” LOL, true :-D

Right, the good old pen test! Never gets old. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That sounds pretty elaborate. We did something similar last year (when this stuff still mattered, lol), but it was super easy to spot.

And then there was this, of course:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zur Hardware zurückzugehen merke ich hier (noch?) nicht. Aber sonst alles andere, ja und ja. Ganz genau.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When a mate was learning Czech a few years ago, he sometimes told us about some crazy words and sentences. But it could very well be that these were out of norm extremes. Not sure. You’re right, I also expected a little worse. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hahaha, this is cool! :-D

@thecanine@twtxt.net This is brilliant, I love it. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there is a Czech song, intentionally written to include no vowels except “a”, with “a” being included in every word, except the one letter long ones:
https://youtu.be/eB1cL4I5OZ8

This is obviously not common, and the author is a legend for accomplishing this.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmm! I expected worse. 😅 (Never heard Czech in person.)

Aber Auslöffeln werden es trotzdem wieder ganze andere Leute müssen. Wie immer. Das ist das bittere an der Sache. Trifft immer die Falschen.

Prinzessin Müllabfuhr. Den Namen mache ich mir jetzt zueigen. Mich dagegen wehren kann ich eh nicht. 😐

Kollege meinte mal halb sarkastisch, irgendwann werden Firmen dann wieder Menschen einstellen, weil die billiger sind.

Wir gehen teilweise von Cloud-IaaS-Hostern wieder zurück zu Hardware, weil das billiger, flexibler, schneller ist … Derzeit zumindest. Die Cloud-Hostern kommen mit dem Nachkaufen von RAM nicht hinterher, sodass ständig „die Cloud voll“ ist. (Und, ja, natürlich wird sich darüber heftigst aufgeregt, aber dass das genau am eigenen Verhalten, nämlich der religiösen Liebe zur AI, liegt, merken sie nicht.)

Es ist auch jedes Augenmaß weg. Die „fette“ Kiste mit 64 CPUs, 256 GB RAM und 2 TB Platte wird nach allen Regeln der Kunst vollgekleistert. Irgendein Furz-Workload braucht 24 GB RAM, aber das ist jetzt normal und wird akzeptiert. So ist das jetzt halt.

@david@daiwei.me if you have some weekend home type place, with no Internet, getting TV through an antenna and a DVBT box, my recommendation is to just buy some old Dell monitor with HDMI to 3.5mm audio output built in, so you can connect speakers to it.

Doesn’t have to be Dell, but you can often just buy one of those from your employer, for under $25 here.

Were this sadly makes much less sense, in with Internet TV services. Those usually need a dedicated TV app to function and while that can be replaced with a $200 TV box, that some providers force you to rent, thus making you pay more for your Internet TV forever - this also means giving up the “archive app”, that gives you access to all the on demand content, included in the price of your mandatory TV license. None of these overpriced boxes come with it, as they’d mauch rather make you pay, for yet another subscription service instead.

So yes, you can kinda do it with an Internet TV too, assuming you trust the expensive box to not spy on you, but in that case you’re mostly just paying a whole lot more, for a lot less, than you would be, with the LG TV.

@david@daiwei.me I don’t believe in impossible! 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good question. Short answer, I don’t know. But I’ll look at this a bit more closely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No I haven’t :/

Just out of curiosity, have you ever ran this on real hardware? 😃

Only QEMU. Would you like to help test it on real hardware? 😅 I’m not sure I have anything worth testing it on!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe it’s already too late ‘o clock, but I don’t find it overwhelmingly crazy. The Czechs, on the other hand, do they even know what vowels are? :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Da hilft nur, die alle mit vollem Karacho gegen die Wand fahren zu lassen. Aber Auslöffeln werden es trotzdem wieder ganze andere Leute müssen. Wie immer. Das ist das bittere an der Sache. Trifft immer die Falschen.

@prologic@twtxt.net Just out of curiosity, have you ever ran this on real hardware? 😃

Hm, interesting: https://git.mills.io/prologic/muos/src/branch/main/nucleus/nucleus.asm You’re clearing the VGA buffer in each mode (real mode, protected mode, long mode). Why’s that? Wouldn’t it be good enough to only do that after you’ve reached long mode? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ja und auch so: „Raus mit den Entwickler:innen! Das Marketing macht seine Software jetzt mit KI selber!!1!“ Kannste dir alles nich ausdenken. (Jaja, ist natürlich im Moment billiger. Aber diese Kurzsichtigkeit …)
