Since I missed another #Caturday, I thought I’d introduce the 6th (and most recently arrived) mammalian quadruped with whom we share living space, a young lady known as The Princess Astrid.
She’s technically our grandpuppy (being our daughter’s “daughter”), but we considered the pibbles to be sisters, and they truly do love each other.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for that. I’d been hearing about this in the context of browser plugins turning computers into residential proxies for web scrapers, but I hadn’t considered that a TV could be used the same way. ☹️
Are you aware of the Residential Proxy pest?

This explains the access patterns that I see in my logs.
It’s funny, because I used to warn years ago that this might happen, and then I lost track of this topic. Now here we are and it’s a real issue. 🤦♀️
@prologic@twtxt.net Which is? 😅
Okay, so this is live now under https://movq.de/git/. („Kurzen Prozess gemacht.“)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org A small portion of people might do the headphone thing because of autism or sensory issues, to isolate them from annoying noises. I used to do that myself. 🤔
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmmm you’ve given me an idea 🧐
I don’t get people strolling in nature with headphones on and constantly staring at their phones all the time. Why even go outside if you cover ears and eyes? Okay, you’re on the move and smell the country air, but still. Yesterday, one girl was wearing earphones and reading a real book while walking on a field path. Better than a phone, sure, but what the hell!?
Okay, so, my website also includes my code / git repos, and those are made browsable by stagit. What I don’t like about this (these days) is that this includes all the diffs of my commits. In other words: All my code.
This makes it super easy for malicious crawlers to slurp up valuable data. I don’t like that.
I’m thinking about switching to this instead:
It still shows project infos and there are Atom feeds, but to get the code, you have to actually clone the repos.
🤔
(If you spot any bugs, let me know.)
@david@daiwei.me I first thought that this is a real lake, but it’s just a lake of craziness. :-D A town owned by a company (or so it reads to me), that’s insane.
Let me send you some nice 17°C.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, great documentary. I was reading up on Orcas a few months ago. Zoos are really problematic.
(1) Why The Ocean’s Top Predator Refuses to Hunt Us - YouTube
– The first half of this documentary is amazing! 😮 – The remaining half however is sad and depressing, making me never want to visit another zoo again 😢
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh good was that the in app nudge?
@david@daiwei.me @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, I wish it was for work. I’d usually abstain from going if don’t get to choose either the location, or the company. But, both? HEeeeeLL No!! 😆
@david@daiwei.me We could say the same about the England - France game, right? 😆
+1 here. Did as soon as I got the alert 🤙
i think there should be at least 4 we know of right?
Does this seem right to you so far @david@daiwei.me ? 🤔
