↳ In-reply-to » It is such a nice feeling that Mu is such a capable little language 😅 And I decided to write code code in Mu by hand 🤚 haha 🤣 and start solving Project Euler problems, like Problem 8 which works out to be a nice elegant solution in Mu:

And just like that Problem 10 is done and correct whoohoo 🥳 It was easy because in Problem 7 I’d already written an iterator to produce infinite primes. So the solution for finding the sum of primes under 2,000,000 is basically (shortened):

  primes := iter.take_while(iter.filter(prime_candidates(), is_prime), fn(p) { p < n })
  print(iter.sum(primes))

And of course the answer is: 142913828922 which took ~21.ss for the Go Vm to compuete.

↳ In-reply-to » I don't think I'm going to add edit and delete support in this app because I think it was a horrible mistake to add those features to a client 🤣

So just because I enjoy this kind of thing (looking into laws and trying to understand them…):

GDPR is about roles, not ownership

There’s no property right in personal data under GDPR. The whole regime hangs on three roles:

  • Data subject — the person the data is about.
  • Controller (Art. 4(7)) — “the natural or legal person … which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.”
  • The rights in Arts. 16 and 17 are exercised by a data subject against a controller. They compel a third party to rectify or erase. They are not self-executing duties that a piece of software must expose.

That’s the key. In your architecture, for a user’s own posts about themselves sitting in their own feed on their own device:

  • the user is the data subject, and
  • the user is also the only person “determining the purposes and means” of that data.

There is no third party controller to compel. The “right to erasure” is a right to make someone else delete — and there is no someone else. It is satisfied the instant the user can change the file. A UI button is a convenience, not a legal requirement. Omitting it removes zero rights, because the data is a plain-text file the user can edit or delete by any means — editor, sed, git, their file manager. Full practical control is retained; nobody is being denied anything by anyone.

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com The no-JS part is one thing, but you also have to disable the (nowadays common) forced-HTTP-to-HTTPS-redirect, because those old browsers can’t do modern crypto. And make sure that your webserver serves the correct page even if no Host header is sent by the client. And don’t even think about serving UTF-8 or even just putting utf-8 in the content type. 😅 And for the JPEG thumbnails I pass a special flag to ImageMagick so that IBM Web Explorer from OS/2 won’t trip. 🤣 And always use link rel="stylesheet" for CSS, because some browsers render inlined CSS as literal text. And … probably more that I forgot by now. 😂

@david@daiwei.me Not sure, actually. Let’s see. Those are the ones where I still have the original disks (or have bought them on eBay again):

  • SuSE Linux 6.4 (it’s a massive 7 CD distro with a huge manual, best thing ever)
  • OS/2 2.1
  • OS/2 Warp 3 (red and blue spine because $reasons)
  • OS/2 Warp 4
  • PC DOS 7
  • MS-DOS 6.22
  • Windows 3.1
  • Windows for Workgroups 3.11
  • Windows 95 C
  • Windows 98
  • Windows NT 4 Workstation (still in the mail, though 😅)
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP Professional (last Windows I ever used on my private PCs)

(Plus a few “classic” office products as can be seen here: https://movq.de/blog/postings/2024-05-23/0/POSTING-en.html )

Interesting, HTTPS is almost twice as slow as plain HTTP on my server (~72 ms vs. ~135 ms):

Every now and then, I think that I have carefully proof-read my message enough times and hit the “Add message” button in tt. But then, in the message tree, I spot another missed typo. My process is then to go to my twtxt.txt and fix it by hand. However, I still have to clean up tt’s cache. This is rather tidious:

  1. Recall the sqlitebrowser ~/.local/share/twtxt/tt2.sqlite from my shell history.
  2. Switch to the “Browse data” tab.
  3. Go to the messages table and wait a second or two until it’s loaded.
  4. Sort by the created_at column twice, so that I get descending order.
  5. Select the first message, which is typically the one in question.
  6. Find the “Remove currently selected row” button in the tool bar.
  7. Commit the changes.
  8. Close sqlitebrowser.

So, I finally implemented the removal of messages from the cache in tt. I can now hit d and confirm the removal. Bam! Should have done that ages ago!

Next up is the search, I think.

↳ In-reply-to » @bender … boom, 5500+ hits on that blog post. 🤣 Should I start monetizing this shit?! 🤪 (Don’t worry, I won’t. German law gets super annoying if you do that kind of thing.)

(This settled at about 25k hits on the HTML page now. But only about 11k hits in total on favicon.ico and only around 7.5k hits on the image thumbnails. So I guess that, in reality, it might have gotten around 7k hits. The rest … is probably bots.)

Retailer says tobacco licence ‘not worth the paper it’s printed on’ amid illicit market
A Senate inquiry has heard the illicit tobacco market now accounts for around 50-60% of all tobacco sales in Australia - worth around 7 billion dollars to crime gangs.
It’s estimated the federal government is now losing out on more than 11 billion dollars in tobacco excise annually.
While public health advocates and the tobacco industry argue over the merits of lowering the tobacco excise, sma … ⌘ Read more

I just wanted to look up 9V block battery prices online and these automatically generated descriptions are getting dumber by the minute:

Datum der Erzeugung: Verfallsdatum minus 7 Jahre

(Date of manufacturing: expiration date minus 7 years)

Or look at this one:

Die leistungsstarke 9 V-Block E Batterie, auch 6LR61 genannt, eignet sich besonders gut für Taschenlampen, Radio oder Kinderspielzeug, die einen gleichbleibenden Strombedarf haben. Ihre max. Spannung beträgt 1,5 V.

(The high performance 9 V block E battery, also known as 6LR61, is particularly suitable for torches, radio or child’s toys, which have a steady power demand. Its max. voltage is 1.5 V.)

The battery is best suited for… devices where it fits. No shit, Sherlock! Has anyboy ever come across 9V block torches? O_o I haven’t.
