My mate and I hiked up the backyard mountain. We got 25°C and quite some wind, so it was actually not too terrible. The wind could have blown harder or the temps a little lower, but oh well.

I saw the squirrel’s bushy tail stick up on the forest floor in the sunlight and immediately thought of this cute little feller. Since it didn’t move at all, even when we came closer, I got irritated and reconsidered that it might actually be some kind of dried up farn. But then we also were able to see its body. Unfortunately, the squirrel ran up the tree too quickly, so all the shots are kinda crap.

At one flower spot, there were sooo many butterflies, wasps, flies, bugs and other insects. The botanic was completely crowded.

The workers were transferring logs from one log truck to the other in a parking lot. I’ve never seen this happening before. When we passed the same place on the way home, they had moved logs into a sea container. That was surprising. This semi wasn’t there on the way there. One log was probably too long and sticking out the container, so they probably had to wait for somebody to return with a chainsaw. Crazy that they’re shipping logs from here probably overseas. Why else would they put them in a sea container?

After our first break, a blackbird was really posing for us with his worm in the dark shade.

Today was my first time I ever saw a hummingbird hawk-moth (TaubenschwÀnzchen) for real. My mate photographed them many, many times before, but I never came across one myself. So, that was really special.

The forest service installed an outdoor table with two benches next to the timber lion, that was cool to see. We sat down for a few minutes and enjoyed both the view into the Fils valley and ant on the tabletop, but the sun was beating down too heavily on us, so we had to move on.

All in all, it was a very nice few hours long hike. Enjoy! https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-07-03/

I just read @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s blog post over here:

Jesus, it must be so overwhelming for young people to get started with programming.

When I started programming, there was the built-in ROM BASIC of that PC and probably a bit of BASIC on a floppy, and that was it. Nowadays? Millions of libraries and frameworks and languages and what not – and, much worse, there’s the expectation that you need to make something fancy. When I started, printing something and understanding IF was good enough.

Installing software was (is?) such an incomprehensible mess on Windows 
 Why did you allow any program to install files anywhere in the system? Why was this considered normal and okay? With no chance of ever cleanly removing that stuff again?

And now we’re back to the trend of curl | bash these days 
 same thing.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This apparently depends on the program now 
 Some Qt6 programs still allow that, others don’t. I can’t remember if GTK ever had that feature. đŸ€” But yeah, this whole “move stuff around as you please”-mentality is mostly gone.

I know I keep referring to StarOffice 3.1 a lot, but it’s just such a good example for all these things. All the toolbars and panels could be rearranged:

(This is running in Wine, btw.)

LibreOffice is the descendant of StarOffice and it doesn’t support anything like that anymore.

Maybe it was deemed too confusing for users? “Oh no, I mis-clicked something and now that bar is gone! How do I get it back? I don’t even know what it’s called!” đŸ€”

The #obsidian sync plugin is making good progress! Today I built a #KirbyCMS panel button which allows you to clone and sync pages with obsidian with just one click! I think, I am not far away from publishing those plugins. Kirby 5.5.0 even comes with a frontmatter parser, which might make things even easier!

I had a short night today and am tired af. I am currently working on the obsidian kirby sync plugin. I was just wondering, why the hell the panel button wouldn‘t open the linked file in obsidian
 took me more than 10 minutes to realize that I deleted all files in obsidian and don’t have any which could be opened 
 Guess I need more Club Mate

In-reply-to » @ Nekoweb is great example of how the web can be people oriented.

More importantly, the original twtxt doesn’t have a reply function. Perhaps the other party can’t see my reply. 😆 I replied with my balloon account.
