probably this one https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/user/kat/twtxt.txt
@eapl.me@eapl.me a “minimalistic” one too, just like Yarnd. 😅
yay! A new client 😀
I’m playing with ratterplatter again: It’s a toy that watches disk I/O and emulates the noise of a real hard disk. (Linux only.) It uses sound samples from one of my older disks.
I tried a different approach at estimating the disk activity and I think I finally got it right (after almost 10 years … 🤦).
Demo, booting a Windows 2000 VM: https://movq.de/v/1400544cc6/2kboot-ratterplatter-2.mp4
(For this purpose alone, I put a couple of mini speakers into my PC case, so that the noise comes from the right place: https://movq.de/v/a3b2dc0932/speakers.jpg)
The results aren’t too bad, but this thing can’t be super accurate due to the huge I/O caches that we have these days. For the video, I dropped the caches before booting Windows, otherwise you would have heard almost nothing.
FWIW, if you don’t know it yet, this is the equivalent for proper keyboard sound: https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @xuu@txt.sour.is That sounds like kat! :-)
Is there some Makefile shenanigans going on maybe? $V
and $C
being swallowed by the Makefile. I fell in that trap again the other day.
yeah its from Yarn.. should be $VERSION@$COMMIT
and its supposed to be replaced with the actual version and commit.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, take some pictures when you do. :-)
Just saw this user agent popping up:
yarnd/ERSION@OMMIT go1.23.4 (+https://.../twtxt.txt; @username)
ERSION? OMMIT? 😅
@bender@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me @xuu@txt.sour.is @movq@www.uninformativ.de Glad you all agree. :-D My SOAP knowledge is extremely rusty, I luckily had not to deal with that crap anymore for quite some years now. I even couldn’t remember the XML declaration and had to look it up. ;-)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … I was fully expecting this to be a WSDL file. 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net I only buy stuff like that, for example games on GOG.COM. Or simply CDs or DVDs. (Rarely I “buy” a movie on some popular streaming service, fully aware that this is just “renting it”.)
But yeah, I sadly have to agree with @bender@twtxt.net. 😢
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aww, this reminds me that I haven’t done any Fraktur/calligraphy in a hell of a long time. I should pick that up again. It’s always nice to see this on old buildings.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this is 1990’s certified approved
definitely 1e100 superiorer
Now I’m looking forward to see the next version using MessagePack
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, to be fair, there’s not much of a difference other than a few grace notes (and just lower frequencies). I was mostly just fooling around with this one. 🥴
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I’m also disappointed each and every time.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This is so crazy to me. When I think “forest”, I assume “untouched nature”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. 🫤
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 1000% superior!
Are you all forgetting today’s April’s Fool? 🤣
Let me introduce you to the much superior version 4 instead: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/twxm4.xml
@thecanine@twtxt.net And this is exactly why there are quirks modes in browsers…
I’m actually glad I don’t have to deal with all this web shit and work with compilers that hit me in the face when I do something illegal. :-)
@arne@uplegger.eu Oh no, you are in front of the line!!
Eberbach is nowhere near Bad Wimpfen in comparison, but still has a nice historic old town: https://lyse.isobeef.org/eberbach-2025-03-29/
@bender@twtxt.net So true 😥
@javivf@adn.org.es Welcome indeed 🤗
that’s certainty an interesting idea.
Building on top of that, I’m thinking of https://eapl.me/yatwt.yaml
well, that leads to a long conversation.
Piracy is a difficult topic which is very personal, so I won’t say much about it.
On writing books, I’ve tried along with other digital products such as courses and videogames, and I got to confess that it has been hard for me.
If it helps, I think it all reaches our expectations on the activity and the result. If royalties is the expectation, it’s going to be slow. By 5% of royalties, for a rough example, a huge amount of sales will be required to get a decent “wage”, so I’ve understood of doing it by the side of a normal employment although it has been discouraging and a bit sad.
I have reflected about it in Spanish here: https://sembrandojuegos.substack.com/p/sobre-expectativas-al-crear-juegos
@prologic@twtxt.net that’s you, and me, and some others. Sadly, though, a huge majority (I don’t have sources, or numbers, but “trust me, bro” :-P) will simply, gladly, and unapologetically, pirate.
@prologic@twtxt.net Fully agreed. I’m far more likely to buy such mediums when DRM-free. I never go near Amazon eBooks etc because of their lock-in, and I have a Kobo eReader which needs to have the books side loaded unless directly from the Kobo store. I prefer DRM-free files every time.
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev That’s a shame. But here’s the thing about piracy. If I could download a PDF or MP3/OGG of a Book I’d happily pay for this. If I could download an MP3/OGG of some Music I would pay for this. If I could download an MP4 of a Movie I would pay for this.
The reason piracy exists at all is economics and greed. If you make something affordable and convenient, there’s no need to steal.
I have just received the royalties for the last book: 98 euros for the four-month period, about 24 euros a month on average. Not even enough for the gym membership.
If you have to keep some knowledge: don’t write for money, the paper (or ebook) industry is in a very bad way, the margins for the author are very small and piracy is devastating.
Amazing! It is a good tool for reading feeds. What you used to calculate the hash?
nice!
SqliteCache

@bender@twtxt.net nope.. its causing OOM issues currently.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you must be loved by all the web developers in town! But ok, I have added all the missing semicolons, that should technically be there, but them not being there, does not make a difference.
Font color change inside every summary element, was a very deliberate choice, to color the text, but leave the arrow black (same as website background). But ok, I rewrote the CSS to hide the arrows and make all summaries white - since this also works better, with some dark theme enforcing browser extensions.
HOWEVER “p” as a child element of “summary” is a thing, that as far as I know, all browsers respect and if a font color is applied only once, I don’t think it matters, if it’s done through HTML or CSS, you smart ass.
Bad Wimpfen has a pretty cool old town with timber framed houses. Looks really beautiful: https://lyse.isobeef.org/bad-wimpfen-2025-03-28/

@prologic@twtxt.net is it up? How can we tell?
@thecanine@twtxt.net I found it! This looks like colored easter eggs when squinting.
There’s a secret art easter egg thing, hidden on my website ( https://thecanine.ueuo.com ), for this years April fools event - it’s been there for a few weeks, but now I can finally give hints.
MemoryCache
for now and going to bed 🛌
Okay trying SqliteCache

Going back to old MemoryCache
for now and going to bed 🛌
Hmmm this needs a bit more work.
And we’re back. On the new Sqlitecache
🥳
@kat They all just wanted to be friends with a cool gal like you. ;-) It’s sad that putting things openly on the internet just waits to be raided by script kiddies, bots or spammers eventually.
Ooops I ran a docker build
on one of my production nodes (the ingress node) 😱
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, like nearly all of them. There is the so called Bannwald, where it typically is not allowed to log, but there’s only one in my entire county and I haven’t even visted it. I should change that. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bannwald
SqliteCache
is almost ready for prime time 🤞
@bender@twtxt.net Okay 👌
