@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hightly doubt that I am wiser than you. :-D
@bender@twtxt.net Ha! It turns out, some cows indeed have magnets in them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_disease
Cool, Hubble turns 35 today! https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasa-celebrates-hubbles-35th-year-in-orbit/ Happy birthday little space telescope and thanks for all the lovely photos! :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Aha! See? You got Long (Time Ago) Covid! ;-)
But this also happened to me all the time already before the pandemic. Time just flies and accelerates even more the wiser we get.
@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, is that a satire site? :-D I havenāt noticed them prefering a north-south direction. Theyāre typically aligned in the marching direction to step forward to get to new grass. Or they just follow the leader cow.
@bender@twtxt.net Mission accomplished. :-)
Hey @sorenpeter@darch.dk, is your neotxt.dk feed permanently dead or will you resurrect it?
It was fairly gray all day. Just before I went on a stroll, a rain shower paid us a visit. Then, the sun took over. Great timing. Itās crazy how rapidly the greenery grows. No comparison to only two weeks ago.
Yesterday, I saw two courting great tits in front of the window. One fed the other a few times. That was super sweet to watch. Iāve never witnessed that myself before.
That reminds me of a workmate telling me the other day that my photo albums are blocked by corporate āĀ»āsecurityāĀ«ā trashware, bwahahahaaahaaaaa:
Completely expected from AI bullshit.
@bender@twtxt.net Great tits always makes for lovely nick names!
Exactly, @bender@twtxt.net, I was happily surprised when I discovered it. :-)
I was listening to āTurn On The Nightā by Kiss and thought, I very well turn on the light and close the shutters. Itās very dark and stormy outside. The second thunderstorm this year is here.
@thecanine@twtxt.net Woof, woof, woof, thatās pretty cool!
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Congrats! I wish it was that easy at work here, too. No matter what, 95% of the time I never complete or very often just even work on tasks that I want to get at. So much other rubbish popping up.
@bender@twtxt.net Hell yeah, that sounds like a good day!
Ta, @prologic@twtxt.net! Assuming you mean 13, itās just some old shed in an orchard. I reckon the owners keep some of their tools in there. They are all over the place around here. To me they look like they were all built like 50 odd years ago or maybe more, not sure. I could be completely wrong. I just like the look of them and actually wanted to capture the dark sky with the rolling in thunderstorm, but my camera had totally other plans. Didnāt work out at all.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, this is so cool! :ā-D
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz And tasty! :-) Turns out thereās marzipan in the bunny belly. Yum-yum!
@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! The rain rapidly cooled off the 17°C to just 10°C. I certainly appreciated that. The weather is coming from the west here, so I thought youāve sent it our way. Let me try to return it. :-)
Todayās stroll was really nice. Just around 11km in total Iād reckon. We had a barbie at a mateās garden where everybody went on a hunt for an easter basket. Oh boy, what a preparation that must have been! Baking the bunnies, dying the eggs, mixing the bear leek butter and so on. Thatās dedication, let me tell you. :-)
It was the first time this year that we had half proper April weather and a thunderstorm in general. It started off with clear sky and lovely sunshine. Right after arvo lunch it started to rain, so we went into the hut. Then, the sun returned.
On the way back with the growling thunder in the distance coming closer and closer we escaped the rain just perfectly. A minute or two after we reached the car, wet stuff started coming down the sky. Not even half a minute after opening the front door, it poured like crazy. Lucky twice today. Thereās beautiful sunshine again by now. It smells absolutely great after the rain. I love it!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, thatās beautiful!
I opened up all the photos in new tabs and went through them. For a second, I wondered that it was snowing at your place right now. :-D
That made me realize that so far we basically had nearly no April weather whatsoever. May might be full of it then, letās see. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de @bmallred@staystrong.run @ionores@twtxt.net Thank you! Yeah, the yellow meadows look truly awesome.
Watching āHappy People: A Year in the Taigaā in German the evening before, this thing totally looked like a trap to us. So, we decided to sit on another, more rustic bench nearby. :-) Oh neat, it turns out, there is a much longer four part series of the documentary in English on YouTube. Highly recommended! This is part one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbhPIK-oBvA
Judging by the surroundings, I think this is actually a forest altar or something of that nature. But it looks like they started with the chappelās reinforcement steel and then they ran out of money before completing it or even placing the concrete forms. :-P
Yeah, 78 might be photo of the month. Itās one of my favorites.
A mate and I had an amazing but also exhausting hike to the highest of the Three Emperor Mountains yesterday with perfect weather conditions. Sunny 18°C, blue sky with barly a cloud and a little welcoming breeze, just beautiful.
Mt. Stuifen is 757 meters above sea level, has a small shelter and a barbie area and is still the most boring one of the three. Itās also the one farthest away from me. Not sure why it has two summit crosses, but both arenāt at the summit. The third, makeshift one at the real summit was gone by now. Four years ago, somebody had cobbled one together and put it up.
We bought our tucker at a local bakery on our way. This was the first time I tried a Teufelsbrezel (lit. devilās pretzel), a lye pretzel with pepper. Havenāt come across that anywhere else. But I can certainly recommend that, itās yummy.
We were glad when we were finally back home after some 26 or 27km. I wonāt do much today and let my feet rest. Another friend called for a much, much shorter hike tomorrow.
Enjoy the 92 photos: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-stuifen-2025-04-19/
@bender@twtxt.net Exactly. I suspect it was because of sqlitebrowser
also accessing the database in parallel to debug the original issue.
So far, I have not found the exact reason why some replies donāt show up. When I do not filter for unread messages and show all, though, I actually see them. So, thereās that.
Today is the day where everything is falling apart. Suddenly, I get: SQL logic error: cannot start a transaction within a transaction
Aha, they all had to do with a dropped feed. I suspect the internal bookkeeping with root paths couldnāt keep up.
I just noticed that my unread messages counter was off by quite a bit. It showed 8, but I only saw one unread message. Even after restarting my client, which recalculates the number of unread messages, it remained at eight. Weird. Looking in the database revealed that this is indeed correct.
Apparently, my query to build up the message tree must be incorrect. It somehow misses seven messages. They all are orphaned, maybe thatās a clue. However, generating missing root messages (and thereby including the replies) typically works just fine. Hmm.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hopefully at your neighbors and not your building. :-S Keep your pecker up!
I just heard the fire brigade respond here with their compressed air sirens, too.
If you let fire take effect properly, it helps to reduce density.
Thatās an interesting research article about Wallbleed, a memory disclosure vulnerability in the Great Firewall of China. They reverse-engineered the buggy DNS query processing code that injects a response if the hostname should be censored: https://gfw.report/publications/ndss25/data/paper/wallbleed.pdf
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lol! Yeah, nobody wants to see you bring your coal-powered forklift into the gym. :-D
Even though I really do like the shell, I always use Dolphin to mount my digicam SD card and copy the photos onto my computer. I finally added a context menu item in Dolphin to create a forest stroll directory with the current date in order to save some typing:
The following goes in ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/galmkdir.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,inode/directory
Actions=Waldspaziergang;
[Desktop Action Waldspaziergang]
Name=Heutigen Waldspaziergang anlegenā¦
Icon=folder-green
Exec=~/src/gelbariab/galmkdir "%f"
In order to update the KDE desktop cache and make this action menu item available in Dolphin, I ran:
kbuildsycoca5
The referenced galmkdir
script looks like that:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
current_dir="$1"
if [ -z "$current_dir" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 DIRECTORY" >&2
exit 1
fi
dir="$(kdialog \
--geometry 350x50 \
--title "Heutigen Waldspaziergang anlegen" \
--inputbox "Neues Verzeichnis in ā$current_dirā anlegen:" \
"waldspaziergang-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)")"
mkdir "$current_dir/$dir"
dolphin "$current_dir/$dir"
This solution is far from perfect, though. Ideally, Iād love to have it in the āCreate Newā menu instead of the āActionsā menu. But that doesnāt really work. I cannot define a default directory name, not to mention even a dynamic one with the current date. (I would have to update the .desktop file every day or so.) I also failed to create an empty directory. I somehow managed to create a directory with some other templates in it for some reason I do not really understand.
Letās see how that works out in the next days. If I like it, I might define a few more default directory names.
@bender@twtxt.net Oooofff, Iām panting for breath when just thinking about that! Iāll immediately stop complaining. :-) I already forgot that a jacket over my jumper would have been nice. Iām happy to be cold.
We had some nice 22°C today. But after work, it got rather windy and cloudy, temps rapidly dropped so just 14°C. Still a nice stroll to our backyard mountain. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-16/
@movq@www.uninformativ.de For sure, an app for that is very silly. Iāve just seen signs in participating shops in my town. Thatās how I know of this concept.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You just have to dress yourself up in a dog custume to pee on a tree, fence post or house wall. :-P
Depending on the hour, town halls and also graveyards are typically good options for public toilets. But yeah, you have to find them first. And then, there might be the āNette Toiletteā: https://www.die-nette-toilette.de/ (Unfortunately, you canāt see on the website which towns and cities participate in that concept. :-()
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck yeah, thatās an awesome shot!
@bender@twtxt.net Yup, we run an ejabberd.
This 8 bit trip is really cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCm1fKZGvl47
@prologic@twtxt.net So, this flag isnāt doing exactly what you thought it does? Or is there a bug in the implementation itself?
@prologic@twtxt.net Ta! :-)
@bender@twtxt.net @ionores@twtxt.net Yep, itās extremely seldom that a photo turns out looking better than reality. Very rarely does that happen. But basically never with sunsets. ;-) Maybe once a leap year Iām very surprised to wonder how that subject wasnāt better in person but actually on film.
A mate and I met at the scout yard to prepare an upcoming workshop. Boy did we have an amazing sunset when we left. The photos donāt reflect it, it was a hell lot more beautiful in person: https://lyse.isobeef.org/plaetzle-2025-04-11/
