Finally finished another meme one, I always wanted. It took forever, to get it right, so I really hope people get the reference.

In-reply-to » I went to check on the fireflies this season. But I didn't see any. Instead lots of moths. At first, I thought it might have been still too light, but it was already dark enough for me to miss and destroy a snail shell. Bummer. Maybe it was too wet tonight. Although, it's probably just another or two weeks until my glowing friends will finally show up.

We went to the source of the river Fils this evening. I couldn’t believe it, but as I was promised, there were just 20°C. That was super nice. Almost chilly. We only met two others with their three dogs right at the beginning and had everything to our own. We enjoyed the firefly and bat show on a bench. Now back in town and the temps are cooking at 27°C. Fuck me!

It was already fairly dark for my camera, so all the photos are even more blurry than usual. Sorry!

06 shows the bench in the background. The source is next to the building under the trees. 07 shows it in its full glory. 08 is the view before the glowing show began.

Using gzip compression for the twtxt files now. I don’t expect any issues but let me know if something breaks. 🥁

(This feature is implemented in a pretty minimalistic way in OpenBSD’s httpd …)

In-reply-to » @movq Yeah, that would also be fine with me. I certainly do like the "arbitrary" in your comment.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mhm, yeah, I also think I like date := time.Date(2026, time.June, 19, /**/ 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC) the most. 🤔 (My only gripe with this is that it isn’t obvious whether the third 0 is milli-, micro- or nanoseconds. These days it’s probably nanoseconds, but you never know.)

In-reply-to » @lyse You think I thought about it on that level? 😅 I just heard that weird animal noise in the dark and I was the one who was running. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I admit, it’s something different in the pitch dark. Noises are a hell lot more eery. I do wince every now and then, too. :-)

But I’m very glad that I only have to really worry about ticks and boars in our forests. They’re petting zoos compared to everywhere else. Let’s see when the bears and wolves return. It’ll be another story then.

In-reply-to » @lyse Omfg, that’s a big “no” from me. 😃 Nononononono. 😃 I had such an encounter with a fox once deep at night and that was scary enough. 🤣

In-reply-to » A deer, multiple frogs, several thousand fireflies and something else. It was already very dark when I was silently drifting along on a nice soft mossy path, enjoying the firefly show left and right and in front of me. I then heard some rustling about 30 meters in the distance in the shrubs. I thought that I must have scared up a deer. But it kept on rustling without any worries. And I closed in without seeing anything.

Easy way to do digital detox: Use a Mastodon instance that someone else maintains. And when it’s down, there’s nothing you can do but wait. 😅
