Fuck me dead, how cool does this knive handle made from honeycomb and epoxy look!? :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZDLkqVoK5w

Time to remove two feeds that have not seen a single update for over a year. I reckon they’re just dead.

@david@daiwei.me Go ahead and grab something, mate!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Great, I had some cherries. :-)

Woah, this is absolutely crazy! Super interesting to watch. The precision with this tiny workpiece amazes me. Omega Seamaster Bracelet Machining Modification: https://youtu.be/t0iGXWcZxg8

Board game for one person? Ironing. :‘-D

@david@daiwei.me Oh yeah, a full belly stops everything. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Dang it! You gotta have a chance again after sunset. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Sounds cool, I gotta take a look at it when my brain has some free capacity. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A mate showed me a graph reaching 40°C… :-O It’s going to be hell on earth.

Bwahahahaha, wie geil! :‘-D Wenn Österreicher Hochdeutsch sprechen müssen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh-l1wfIDXY

Gestern Abend den Austrian Kiwi entdeckt, ein Neuseeländer, der seit ein paar Jahren in Österreich lebt. Der hat ein paar absolut großartige Videos.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Type hints are just… so weird.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see! :-D So, how was your banana then?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hear you! It’s so annoying. Ruff, the formatter?

Lol, never heard of that banana moment before, but it sounds very fitting. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s cool! :-)

Got up at 5 to have a shower and air out the bathroom before the sun hits, went back to bed. Strolled with my mate for one and a half hours and now I’m absolutely done. At 8 the temps were pleasantly cool, but that didn’t last long.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear, Thunderbird became such garbage.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Since you ask, it must be only the one in the title bar, but not the one below. :-( Let me suggest Newsboat to you: https://newsboat.org/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure, I very rarely see people wearing cowboy hats. They’re a great protection against the sun in my opinion. Even as a child, I always loved their looks, but I only wear them in summer for that particular reason. Unfortunately, they’re too cumbersome to carry around not on your head. And they don’t combine with bicycle helmets or head rests.

About one and a half decades ago, I made two hats myself. Sadly, they both turned out to be failures.

Haha, now that you mention the aliens, I cannot unsee them anymore. :-D

@david@daiwei.me You better stick to your doctor’s prescription of mowing three times a week.

@david@daiwei.me Thank you! They were so busy, my camera got dizzy:

Skipped a meeting and went for a stroll this arvo because my head was aching due to tension caused by lack of physical activity. That was a very good decision: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-07-23/

I’m not a fan of light shows but that’s a cool UFO! https://youtu.be/DbSmUCCR9Es

Dang it, @david@daiwei.me, you blew my cover!

I was raised without a TV, so I don’t miss it one bit. My parents just didn’t by a new one after their super old black and white device died. Looking after a baby was maybe spare time activity enough for them. :-P

When there was some super cool program I wanted to watch, like a James Bond movie, I visited my grandma. Sure, it sometimes was a pity that I could not join yesterday’s TV series discussions with my classmates, but oh well. I survived that. Building stuff with Lego or playing outside was all I really wanted.

Apart from a few really good programs, there’s sooooo much trash, non-stop ads and the like. Even as a kid, I was very disgusted by all that. But I have to admit that visting somebody with a TV and watching a good show was usually a highlight. These days, I can easily waste all my time and more on YouTube. :-/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @klaxzy@klaxzy.net Same situation here.

Data protection, @dce@hashnix.club! :-D

This revealed another bug in my client that I still need to fix at some point. Inserting an empty set of messages failed with an SQL logic error. Whoops. I didn’t think about that corner case.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Perfect! :-D

@david@daiwei.me Go down to “Releases”, there’s a link to the CHANGES: https://movq.de/git/jenny/CHANGES.html

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @david@daiwei.me Hahaha, neither did I came across this before. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Similar to my Go IDE at work. GoLand hangs so often in this giant code base. :-D (But it could also be one or the other snake oil that’s forcefully installed and fucks with me every day.)

@david@daiwei.me Hahaha! The thing is, it doesn’t taste as good in summer as in winter for some unknown reason. Two or three decades ago I asked my grandma to bake some of her amazing gingerbread in summer. But she always refused, claiming that this only really works in winter. Of course, I didn’t believe that. Finally, after years of begging and pleading, she finally made a tray. And to my surprise, she was right. It wasn’t bad, no, no, not at all. It was really yummy. But the gingerbread in winter was just better. :-/

Maybe I should give it a shot myself. Perhaps she slightly changed the recipe on purpose. So that I will never break the tradition of seasonal food again. :-P It worked, at least I never asked her to bake gingerbread in summer again. :-D

Pretty cool, @thecanine@twtxt.net!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good question. Tarballs are probably not needed, but might be convenient for people who don’t want to or can use a version control system. Not sure if there are non-techies who use your software. Tarballs for branches are overkill, though, I agree.

Looking at this more closely: As for the feeds, how about filenames “tags.atom” and “commits.atom”? Unless, of course, they were already named like that before.

For the tags feed it would be cool to include the actual changelog entries to be more useful if somebody takes this approach to get notified of new versions. But that would mean you have to duplicate the changelog entry into the annotated tag. And then you can’t fix changelog typos in the feed anymore. Alternatively, the feed generation would need to extract the section from the the CHANGES file. That has the benefit of automatically providing changelogs for past versions in the feed.

I finally built a prototype of a marking gauge with a cutter wheel out of some scraps.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/streichmassprototyp-mit-messerrad/

It had been a long time in coming, I bought some replacement cutting wheels three years ago for exactly that purpose. I also found out that I need more M3 countersink bolts for future marking gauges that I want to make (maybe two or three more). Luckily, I had exactly one. I thought I got way more than that, but M3 is very, very scarce in my collection. My M3 bolt was barely long enough to attach the cutting wheel to the bar. But it’s okay for the prototype.

I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to drill the 2.5mm diameter hole almost perfectly in center in the 8mm diameter aluminium round bar. Center finder, drill press and vise with a vertical prism for the win!

I knew upfront that the M5 steel bolt to lock the bar in place definitely needs to be replaced with a brass or aluminium one (maybe with a knurled head). Otherwise, it cuts into the aluminium bar and leaves ugly marks. These burrs might even scratch the workpiece. But, of course, I don’t have any brass on hand either. Alternatively, I swap out the aluminium bar for a steel or even stainless steel one. Stainless might be tricky to precisely drill and tap, though.

I already learned a few things by making this prototype. The final wooden fence can be even a bit bigger. This round thing behind is also too short, I’d like it to be a tad longer and thicker. The final one will be made from hardwood, not spruce. Other than that, it’s great and already more practical than my store-bought marking gauge with its round fence. This only causes the tool to roll around on the workbench. Or even roll off. Stupid design.

Dang it! Suddenly, I’ve got real strong appetite for gingerbread.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sigh. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, that’s actually quite a bit. I didn’t expect that. You definitely have useful things. :-)

Exactly, I now also send links to my fork. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I’m interested in your future bot stats as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just keep hammering against all those now 404s. But I hope I’m wrong.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Finally, your software is just perfect and finished by now, no need to report non-existing bugs or send in code changes. :-) How many tickets and merge requests did you get before moving to your own server?

I have to admit that I use git format-patch so rarely, I always have to pull it up from my shell history. Haven’t used git send-email even once. I definitely have to look into that soon. Wanted to do that for several years. I typically upload the patch to my server and send a link via IRC.

Maybe I was just very unlucky, but my experience is that you can perfectly ignore people and their work who only do it for the “fame”. It’s almost always been from inferior quality to say the least.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If only somebody had warned us! Luckily, no TV in this household. :-)

Why is there no English version of this interesting ZIP code article!? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/H0H_0H0 (Canadians know that this is Santa’s postal code.) https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/our-company/write-letter-to-santa.page

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Works good. I fully get and support your reasoning behind that change. There’s only one downside. Quickly looking at some code snippets in the browser helps me to quickly judge whether it’s worth to clone a repo or not. Oh well. :-) After all I know that movqware always is.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Luckily, I’m not an autist. If you walk next to a busy road or airport, I totally get the annoying noises. I’d plug my ears, too. But I meant in the woods where there are almost only nature sounds. Maybe they miss the jackhammers etc. :-D

@david@daiwei.me Hell yeah, let’s finally reintroduce the big predators! :-D

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!?

@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.

Hurray! Finally, the thunderstorm is right over us. The last days we always got skipped. The rain smells so great. :-)

Ta, @david@daiwei.me, much appreciated.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I didn’t expect anything like that. But yeah, makes perfect sense. :-D

Sunset few days ago:

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, no, you’re off the hook this time. :-D It’s totally my fault.
