For the record, the third thing is to activate agent forwarding. In ~/.ssh/config:

Host git.mills.io
ForwardAgent yes

@bender@twtxt.net Somehow, the enshittificator himself does not have to deal with enshittification in his own life. In fact, his job gets better with the internet! This can only mean one thing, we all have to becom…

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats, mate, no sleep at night anymore! ;-D That’s a cool age measuring blanket. Haven’t seen something like that before.

Btw. the index.html includes an out of place </ul>. And I just wanna let you know that the full-size photos don’t load for me over here across the pond. They always run into a timeout after a few slooow percent. But no worries. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net You need a running SSH agent in order to make it through the deep layers of the Mills infrastructure: After ssh-add, git pull always works for me.

And contrary to what the UI shows, the username git always has to be replaced with your own one.

Let’s finalize https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/28/.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now, they’re always cloning the entire repo I suppose. X-(

@bender@twtxt.net I agree, I had oats in yoghurt for dinner. :-)

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You might or might not find this useful: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/twthash.py

You are brilliant, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com! I laughed my ass off reading the first sentence. :‘-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ta! Haha, there’s a snake with a wide open mouth in 01 in my opinion. :-)

Nice cloud formations this evening. Obviously, they looked much cooler in person. https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-03-09/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Luckily, I’ve never encountered any bugs in Vim with my type of work and features I use.

@bender@twtxt.net Hehe. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Haha, one could think it’s so cold over here, even the posts have to wear beanies. :-D 04 was actually in a villa garden not too far from the edge of the village. Those plants in 05 are tiiiny. Not sure if eating them is healthy. I’m glad about the temperatures, no interest in trading them. ;-)

@bender@twtxt.net Just for fun, I made it through the entire Wikipedia article and I find it interesting, how deeply one can analyze a fairytale. :-D This also made me realize that, as a kid, I never questioned why the princess was traveling alone without any servants etc.

Finally, the Danish language lacks the subjunctive. Wow! I didn’t know that.

After making three crosses (state and mayoral election) my mate and I went into the wildernes. Well, nature at least. There are heaps of people out there, too. The 13°C (and still raising) are very nice. I’m drowing in sweat, though.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-03-08/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Fuck! :‘-( I’ll never upgrade.

@prologic@twtxt.net How was the night? :-) Can the real fun begin soon?

@bender@twtxt.net I see. Other shot is also quite colorful.

@bender@twtxt.net Uuuhhhhhh, this looks incredibly nice! Did you hear anything or was it just a visual thing?

Dang, I missed an opportunity! My mate just said:

Velkom to the mechanikk press tchannel

I call it a success! (Please excuse the terrible background noise and bad audio in general. I’m not a sound engineer at all. Also, no idea why I use plural in the beginning. :-?) https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/5mm-dowels/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, right! I just looked at it. It’s bright. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hurray!

Time rotate into archive feeds again.

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, mate! These catkins are truly wonderful. So soft and fluffy to the touch. I love ‘em. :-)

I missed the 20°C on Friday, but I took profits of the 10°C this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-03-01/

Awwwww, sooo beautiful! Handmade tiles for a tiled stove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8hBf5b99Jk

I’ve exhausted my stock of 5x30mm wooden dowels. Looking online for supplies yielded tons of merchants who are out of stock, ship only to businesses, offer only insane quantities (minimum of 10kg) or charge overprice for absolute joke amounts.

None of my local hardware stores has them, they’re either also out of stock or generally don’t carry them at all. Same with long 5mm diameter round sticks in general. What the heck?!

I just make a “dowel iron” tomorrow, a steel plate with a sharp edged 5mm hole. Since I’ve got heaps of 6x30mm dowels, I just hammer them through. They will be smooth and not corrugated, but that’s totally fine with me.

Ta, @shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe. There are plenty of third-party libraries implementing XDG directories properly. My point was that the Go stdlib half-assed this.

@prologic@twtxt.net Lol, that huge, lit-up branding.

The magpies approve of the caravan, too. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy camping, mate! That’s a giant rig. Don’t forget to snip one or the other pic from the landscape. :-)

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, that brings back memories! I’ve played minetest one and half centuries ago. Some classmates and I tried to recreate our computer science building at the time. The proportions didn’t work out, but it still kinda worked. Minetest was one of the very few games I played a bit more extensively.

Can anyone recommend a command-line SQL query formatter? Unfortunately, sqlparse is also unsuitable for me: https://github.com/andialbrecht/sqlparse/issues/688

@bender@twtxt.net Holy cow, I didn’t notice the ice! :-O Thanks for pointing that out! I was just after the bee. :-)

33°C down to 3°C, wow. O_o What a drop. But it raises again dramatically during day, right?

I took advantage of the beautiful 14°C sunshine and decided to have a long lunch break: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-02-25/ When there was no wind, the thin jacket was actually too warm.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, very compliant electronical installation. The rain cannot harm it as the ports all face down!! :-D

As long as oneself remains fairly dry, it’s not a problem. But I find it annoying when the wet clothes rub against the skin everywhere.

It’s raining and raining and raining and raining. I had hoped my mate canceled the hike today. But he didn’t. He showed up. So, off we went to the Staufeneck Castle Ruin after having a lunch first. The rain drizzling on the umbrella was very nice and I was very glad that he dragged me outside.

It was super wet, though. Entire creeks were coming down on some path sections. A slippery, muddy mess on others. Our boots were already soaked a few kilometers in the trip. The important part was that the feet were warm, though, despite being wet. We barely met anybody in this lousy weather. So we had basically everything for us alone. That’s always great.

Visibility was poor the higher we got. At 13 a low hanging cloud was moving in, 14 is the result just three minutes later. We couldn’t see the castle 300 meters away anymore. No chance. It was really funny, because the houses in town at two kilometers distance were still visible. Poorly, but you could clearly make out the town. Not the castle, there was just a white wall of cloud :-)

On the way back, we warmed up with tea I brought along. After I dropped off my mate at the train station, I bumped into a fellow scout, so my wet feet cooled off completely in these 15 minutes we talked. The rainjacket mostly held up with the protection of the umbrella, just the sleeves were down. My rain trousers, on the other hand, leaked a little bit a the lower ends. I was glad when I could strip all the wet stuff. I would do it again, though. :-) Now, I’m swapping the newspaper in my boots every half an hour to absorb all the moisture.

Oh, our leaning silo laughs at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. :-D I’m wondering when it collapses. I’m waiting for this to happen for years now.

@iolfree@tilde.club I will take heed.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks. Unfortunately, the weather stations are quite far away.

I have to operate my own one. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, brilliant! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve got the same problem that you had the other day: finding past temperature data. But yeah, it looked much warmer than it actually was. Maybe 5°C? Possibly less when I found myself in the snow- and rainstorm in the end.

With the wind, my fingers were frozen. I should have worn gloves. Without them, I could only put my hands in the pockets of my jacket. That didn’t help much, though, because I frequently stopped to take yet another photo, so they cooled off again right away. :-D

Balancing the big/long, closed umbrella under my arm while I had my hands burried was also a little tricky.

First world problems. :-)

There was an endless coming and going of sun, clouds and rain. Not to forget about the wind. I called it quits a bit earlier and went into the woods.

Towards the end I was completeley surrounded by rain curtains in all directions. This looked super cool. I thought I might make it home just in time without having to use my umbrella, but the rain clouds were way quicker than I anticipated. Just after the rain hit me, I met an acquaintance who just started his walk. The wind picked up hard and rain hammered down, mixed with snow. Holding the umbrella was a workout. Shortly after I returned, the rain stopped again.

I didn’t notice the kestrel sitting on the tree when I took the last photo. That was a nice surprise when I sorted through the nearly 300 pics.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There are always some folks who would appreciate that. But I fear they are the minority. The rest just doesn’t give a shit.

The selfcontradiction is that those who proudly use and promote AI also claim to be sustainable and green and so on. I’ve no clue how this is not considered fraud, but there we are.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Our ads are one of these rubbish ones, unfortunately. They just speak about “an attractive salary”. I reckon I will tell my boss about this talk tomorrow (even though I doubt that any of them are from our department).

I’ve got the impression that salary is amongst the most top secret topics in Germany in general. My conspiracy theory is that companies don’t put any numbers in job ads because that would just reveal that most employees are underpaid.

All gray the last few days, but there was one morning exception: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2026-02-12/

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry if I raised the wrong hope. Only the German talk is about the “why good people don’t want to work at your company” subject. Among the key points are the absolutely terrible job adverts, team leads not themselves looking for people to hire but letting other dudes do that, company cultures and communication.

A mate just recommended this German talk why people don’t wanna work at your company: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3321-es_es_ka_em_warum_gute_leute_nicht_bei_euch_arbeiten_wollen It’s really good. I fully agree with most parts.

The speaker referenced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmEgtRhw7o

(Mårten Mickos: Believe in Something Bigger Than Yourself) which is also very interesting, if you make it through the first bit. He talks about his CEO role at MySQL AB.

For several days again, YouTube fucks up all the Atom feeds every European morning. A bunch of hours just 404s. :-(
