@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Haha, we had the same joke. :-D Took them also many attempts to include a timestamp datatype in the standard library that is halfway usable.

When I left the house, the cloud matched my speed exactly, so I was always in its shade. But then I slowed down to take photos and eventually the sun came out. There was a super beautiful light this evening. Absolutely stunning. Just like in a picture book.

The plane picture is kinda fake as I mounted all three shots into one photo just to save some precious space. The plane circled around a few times.

Finally, the city blocked off a large portion of the rock due to the imminent danger of rockslide. I was actually waiting for that to happen for quite some time now. A huge crack had formed in one of the climbing rocks well over a year ago and it didn’t look safe at all. Let’s see when the wall actually collapses.

Unfortunately, my battery died and I didn’t bring my spare. Thus, I couldn’t capture the very best sunset sky part. I tried several times to turn the cam back on for yet another last photo, because sometimes the battery provides just enough juice after waiting some minutes. No luck. Only when it was virtually over, one last shot had been granted. Oh well.

What a nice trip. Almost all people I met were also very happy and friendly to watch the sunset enfold. Nature bound together many strangers. Doesn’t happen often.

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Yeah, timber framing is soooo cool. I love it, too.

My mate and I went on a hike on Saturday to Germany’s probably most famous tiniest hamlet. Well, not even hamlet, much smaller. It’s a farm (087) and a closed train station (088, 096-102). Okay, and four other houses. But that’s it. Durlesbach is known from the old folk song „Auf de schwäbsche Eisebahne“, literally “On the Swabian Railway”. According to the German Wikipedia article the German Folk Song Archive counts about 100 variants on the lyrics with up to 27 verses. The song enumerates a few stations and the most common version is about a farmer who ties his goat to the back of a train in order to save the freight costs. Alternatively, he’s used to that from previous ox cart trips where the goat just follows along. Of course, the goat doesn’t make it and the angry farmer throws the disembodied goat head at the conductor.

The weather was perfect. Sunny and clouds alternating, lower twenty-something degrees Celcius. Very beautiful. We took the train to Aulendorf and started our hike.

The level railway crossing in 051-054 is always closed and only opened on demand. I didn’t even know that this kind existed. But it’s really quiet there. We pressed the lever to call the train dispatcher who then opened the barriers for us. A few seconds later we told him that we successfully reached the other side and he closed them again. We were confused at first because the sign said only for authorized personnel and we were just two random hikers. But we gave it a shot and the dispatcher was super nice, no worries at all.

The river is always the Schussen. 092-094 is the creek Durlesbach, entering the Schussen, though. The Durlesbach station is now privately owned, unfortunately. However, it’s nicely kept in shape and there’s a cool monument with a historic steam engine, two wagons and four bronze figures reenacting the scene where the farmer is about to tie his goat, being observed by his wife and the conductor.

You can get all sorts of drinks in exchange for a donation at the display. These proceeds are used for the upkeep. I had an ACE juice which was absolutely delicious. A few hundred meters after we continued, I thought that I really should have bought a second one. It was just too good.

In Mochenwagen, we took the train back to Aulendorf. The Mochenwangen replacement service (we luckily didn’t have to take it, in fact, no idea when it is really in place) is 800 meters away from the train station. That fucking nuts.

We then changed trains to Ulm, just because that one arrived two minutes after we reached Aulendorf. But we spontaneously exited early in Biberach because we had some time to kill for the actual train to Stuttgart. The train station underpass there has some really beautiful graffiti. Shortly after, my second camera battery was flattened, too.

Going home worked out amazingly. When I switched again in Geislingen, my connecting train was already waiting on the other platform. 15 seconds before scheduled departure, the doors closed. One second to departure, we took off. That’s very rare nowadays and it was kind of magical to witness this first hand looking at the station clock.

Sorry for the many photos. I was busy sifting through them and only kept about 20%. Still too many, I know. Enjoy, nevertheless: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-10-03-wanderung-von-aulendorf-ueber-durlesbach-nach-mochenwangen/

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Bwahahaahaaahaaaa, I didn’t see that one coming! :‘-D

We switch back to normal time on the last Sunday in October. Fuck daylight saving time!

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Time to get some pigs, they love to be acorn-fattened!

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Bon appetit!

@iolfree@tilde.club True!

@thecanine@twtxt.net Sweet!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Selbstredend nicht!

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Na, good enough, I reckon. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sehr hübsch! Aber wurde vor dem Ausrufezeichen etwa geplenkt? 8-)

Ach, mit dem Bildschirm hältst Du es schon noch ne Weile aus! Der ist noch pfundsgut.

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Haven’t followed Python projects for quite a while. This is the first one that I come across that uses match. Cool.

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Hahaha, good. :-D

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Meanwhile, many companies are doing the opposite. For the security!!!1!11

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Oh no! I hope you didn’t lose any changes.

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Phew, lucky!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hehe.

Ah, I already suspected a portability thing with -R, but my quick search was not good enough and didn’t yield anything useful. Thank you very much for clarifying!

It was a nice three hours stroll to my backyard mountain and back. 28°C, my goodness. Autumn is here with its colors. Not so much with the temps, unfortunately. At least the nights are chillier, so I should be thankful.

The great spotted woodpecker was hiding behind the leaves, so 18 was the best I managed. Still really terrible.

I think this is my very first slow worm this year in 32. Very late. And it might have been even cactus, not sure.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Currently, for me as well. :-/

@prologic@twtxt.net Very nice! I agree with @david@daiwei.me, looks much more peaceful. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, it’s been a hot minute since I last came across Pascal. :-) When I first quickly skimmed through the code, my eyes fell on the reproducer in the comment and I immediately thought: This reminds me of Delphi! And sure enough, I then saw the .PAS file extension in the URL. That Kiwi applied some strange code formatting, I have to say, though.

Haha, that’s a sweet trick with stdin. Crazy, who comes up with things like that? It would have never crossed my mind to do stunts like that. :-D

Today, I also learned that -R is an alias for -r in rm. I think I never saw -R used here before. Of course for chmod and chown, but not rm.

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Oh yeah. I know that too well with my digicam. It has good zoom, but it doesn’t help when birds are quickly disappearing again. You did good, keep ‘em coming. :-)

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Beautiful! Is that the lizard snack? Poor little guy. When I visited Down Under, I petted a blue-tongued lizard. That was really cool. And I was very surprised how rough and bumpy that was. I expected it to be very smooth, but no, not at all.

@david@daiwei.me Uhh, nice! The reflections in the water are just cool.

The moon looked really nice on today’s night stroll:

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Sounds great! Next time, you have to snap a pic or two. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sometimes you lose, sometimes the others win.

@prologic@twtxt.net Very nice view! I reckon this is a lake not a river?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Nothing beats an own collection in my opinion. However, for parties and the like, it’s really great to be able to add random bits to the playlist that noone else has ever heard before. :-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Sometimes, all things come together. I’m glad both of you are feeling better now and wishing you a continued speedy recovery. Also, happy hacking!

Looking forward to the photos. :-)

@david@daiwei.me Easy, Twtxt is similar to IRC. If you publish the password here, e.g. hunter2, only @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com will be able to read it as it is his. See?!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, very interesting. Thanks for telling us!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, I see. Didn’t cross my mind to use Inkscape for that. I hope to remember this once I run into a similar situation.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, some letters are really unreadable. And I always, always read the “s” as an “f”. Every time.

Yeah, I find it telling when Nazis use Fraktur. Very interesting, I wasn’t aware that occupied regions couldn’t read the orders.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s dedication. And it really shows. Again, your font is easier to read for me than the average Fraktur I come across. I don’t really understand it, but I trip more often in books.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de One more human to add, I just got to read it. Cool stuff, coloring in these hexdumps by hand must have been a ton of work, my goodness. Much appreciated, though. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The tax inspector is here.

@prologic@twtxt.net Voyeur! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net Still enjoy nevertheless!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I like it! Even the accidents. So pretty! How long did it take you to write this?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wahrscheinlich, aber ich find das klasse. :-)

Magpie:

Oops. Pay closer attention next time. I accidentally made some art, I guess:

I declare the pomegranade hand cream experiment a failure as well. Can’t get used to this smell. The next tube will definitely be with beeswax again. The only problem is that I don’t use hand lotion that much, so I’m stuck with that container for ages.

@arne@uplegger.eu Hahaha, die sind echt urkomisch, großartig! :‘-D

Werwolfpisse, ich lach mich schlapp! :’-D

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s a good looking rig you have at a nice spot. I also really love the bark texture of these gum trees. Keep the pics coming. :-)

@david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net Hahaha, thanks! :-D
