QEMU Screenshot:

So I’ve been working on GoNIX the last few days… Which is derived from µLinux – At least it’s entire build process. GoNIX however has a 100% Go userland, including the init process, package and service management.

Now… As an experiment, because I was able to make much process on enhancing the build tools and package management, I decided to see if I could build a “Desktop” Gui of sorts…

I still wanted it to be fairly minimal and lightweight. So I went with wayland (of course) and labwc and yambar. So far I’m liking the result 👌 42 packages in the wayland-desktop meta port. Not too bad. Not sure if I can slim that down anymore… But trying to avoid Mesa/GL as that drags in far too much “cruft”.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de static sites are the best really 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwwww. 💚

Am I glad that I host nothing but static HTML.

haihaihiii! mbox.blue is awesome ;)

So nice of the very few folks that have discovered mbox to say such nice things about my little experimental project and free service offering 😁

Bracing myself for the next round …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de An apostroph and three quotes, yes. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmmmmmm. Can you at least see those? ’ „ “ ”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org My thermometer claims 27 °C now but I don’t trust it. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s horrible.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de We’re already at 29°C now. Five more to go. It’s terrible!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sounds lovely! (I think. Not sure about spider webs and such. 😅)

I woke up to 26°C this morning. 🥵

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com (I still hate that these photos look so good, despite being made with a telephone. 😝 I mean, the (probably built-in) filters are easy to spot, but it looks super convincing when you don’t pay attention.)

For this week’s (slightly delayed) #caturday post, we catch Bowie as he contemplates whether to play Arkham City (again).

When I learned that mbox.blue had lost my SSH public key, I resent it.

Gemini, Gopher and twtxt…: https://offgridholdout.org/

The web never needed scripting, and Gopher is the greatest example of it.

My sister in Texas stepped on a Coral snake last night. They are poisonous but rarely bite.

tightening up some mroe OGH pubnix functions, redesigned the website, and out pimping the community, still…

test helololol

How truly wonderful! I went out tonight and the first thing I noticed was the temperature drop. It felt actually quite pleasing. What a welcome surprise, I didn’t expect that at all. It was warmer in the forst than between the fields. The tiniest breeze helped to cool off the surroundings I think. Right now, the temperature shows 23°C. It’s supposed to reach 18°C at 5 in the morning before it rapidly shoots through the sky again.

When I left the house I even saw the very end of a nice sunset. A bat was around, too. The several thousand fireflies delivered a fantastic show. It’s such a pity that I cannot show this to you. :-(

There were many frogs or toads around. Luckily, the light tan gravel road made for a good constrast to the darker hopping amphibians. So, I spotted them just in time. No animals were harmed.

The moon was out and lit up the scenery. I was perfectly chasing my own shadow for several hundred meters on a forest road. I had the moon right in my back. That moon light shadow felt magical. <3

It must have set a new record on picking up spider webs along the way. The threads around arms and legs always feel quite yucky. People were blasting music somewhere in town. You could here that noise in the entire forest. I found that rather annoying. All street lamps are operational again, so I got already blinded right at the entrance to the town. But other than that, this was a very nice evening stroll. Totally recommended. Already looking forward to tomorrow. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, that would also be fine with me. I certainly do like the “arbitrary” in your comment.

While writing the article, I also thought about something like that:

date := time.Date(2026, 6, 19,
    17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

Or possibly:

date := time.Date(
    2026, 6, 19,
    17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC,
)

But it’s four lines for a damn timestamp. I also contemplated whether a comment acting as a separator is all that’s needed:

date := time.Date(2026, 6, 19, /**/ 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

I might like that the most. Not entirely sure yet. It kinda feels like a hack, but still a little elegant. Add your comment on top and we’re golden. Maybe?

I deliberately excluded them as this only distracted from the points I wanted to make. And I also realized that this example was just not ideal at all. Perhaps I should add them nevertheless?

If I ever invented a programming language, a much more human readable timestamp representation of some sort, RFC 3339 or very close to that would be part of that language. Something along the lines of /pattern/ for regexes in certain languages.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh wow, we’re talking about such a detailed level. 🤔

I agree with most of what you said.

I probably would have written it like this:

// Arbitrary reference date.
//                   Y  m   d   H  M  S  nano
date := time.Date(2026, 6, 19, 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

Would this be better or worse? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice boxes, yeah. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, thanks! :-D Some deliberately crude GIMP work.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Apparently some new ones, yeah, like these: 🫠🫩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What kind of Unicode do you use? All the new emojis?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com

But it also wouldn’t surprise me to find out that people like Bezzos, Musk, and Zuckerberg are actually ghoulish aliens

Yeah, that’s easier to accept, isn’t? “Phew, they’re not human after all. They’re not absolute psychopaths with zero empathy – they’re just aliens. Humans are good!” 😅

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ta! I don’t know about regional differences. But at the moment, they first start slowly appearing at around 21:45 to 22:00. And then it gets more and more. You’ve got about an hour until it’s over.

People often say that they are in and over the meadows close to the edges of the forest. But at least over here, there are literally magnitudes more in the forest. So far, I’ve maybe seen thirty, fourty (30-40) fireflies outside at the meadows, but one or two thousand (1000-2000) inside. Exactly like last year.

They like a little bit openish spots in the forest. Not like a clearing, but if you can see ~10 meters from the path into the woodland, chances are that fireflies will pop up. But if it’s really thick brush, the odds are very slim. The hotspots also slowly wander around over time. So, I just keep on walking after a few minutes of stopping to enjoy the show.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats, I guess. ;-) I’m not gonna dive into the comments either. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Definitely silly in places (and the back-alley fistfight is AWESOME).

But it also wouldn’t surprise me to find out that people like Bezzos, Musk, and Zuckerberg are actually ghoulish aliens here to keep us into a state of reduced consciousness while they extract what they can. “Their third-world.”

It’s like the bearded-man says: “We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is cattle.”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same, I only (vaguely) remember the more interesting bits. Most of the subjects weren’t my cup of tea. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s what I believe as well. But again, it shows a similar thing when a video cannot be downloaded. Anyway.

It’s 34°C and all the shutters are closed. Walking past the front door, I was surprised that there is light sneaking through the covered glass next to it. I somehow thought it’s already the middle of the night. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sometimes, views on quality code are 180° apart.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … I also meant to comment on the very neat and stylish Play Button, but forgot to do so. 😅😅😅
