@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, it’s been a hot minute since I last came across Pascal. :-) When I first quickly skimmed through the code, my eyes fell on the reproducer in the comment and I immediately thought: This reminds me of Delphi! And sure enough, I then saw the .PAS file extension in the URL. That Kiwi applied some strange code formatting, I have to say, though.

Haha, that’s a sweet trick with stdin. Crazy, who comes up with things like that? It would have never crossed my mind to do stunts like that. :-D

Today, I also learned that -R is an alias for -r in rm. I think I never saw -R used here before. Of course for chmod and chown, but not rm.

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Oh yeah. I know that too well with my digicam. It has good zoom, but it doesn’t help when birds are quickly disappearing again. You did good, keep ‘em coming. :-)

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Beautiful! Is that the lizard snack? Poor little guy. When I visited Down Under, I petted a blue-tongued lizard. That was really cool. And I was very surprised how rough and bumpy that was. I expected it to be very smooth, but no, not at all.

Made a little program to print the system’s uptime on DOS, OS/2, and Windows NT:

(Release pending.)

This was pretty easy to do on Windows, a bit harder on OS/2 (because documentation is scarce), and quite the mess on DOS. DOS doesn’t explicitly keep track of the system’s uptime, so you have to resort to tricks like “give me the mtime of stdin”, which probably works … Yeah.

@david@daiwei.me Uhh, nice! The reflections in the water are just cool.

@david@daiwei.me yeah, I’d reverted the changes I had made a couple of minutes ago and the parleyctl check looks good, but the federation is still broken by the looks of things.

Ponctuation 🤦

@david@daiwei.me I did was trying a little something since CF won’t proxy anything other HTTP(s) and ended up Borking my instance. Things should be working by now.
