@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck yeah, that’s 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 isn’t 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, it’s 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 I’m very surprised to wonder how that subject wasn’t 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 don’t reflect it, it was a hell lot more beautiful in person: https://lyse.isobeef.org/plaetzle-2025-04-11/

@anth@a.9srv.net Hahaha, for a second I thought that you implemented word splitting according to Swiss (.ch) rules. :-D

Btw, both manpage links string(2) and getields(2) (it’s missing an f) point into nothingness: http://a.9srv.net/src/wordwrap.2.html

I can’t help but notice line 9: http://a.9srv.net/src/wordwrap.c

And I reckon your finger slipped one key to the right for quore: http://a.9srv.net/src/litclock.1.html

Cool stuff! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! I’ll think about switching to higher resolution teasers in the future. The reasoning behind the thumbnails is to avoid wasting traffic. Maybe folks in the outback or on expensive mobile networks appreciate it. Yeah, they could disable images in general.

That’s a dang cool story from Apollo 11 where priority queues saved the day: https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/a11/a11.1201-fm.html

Hit by the arvo sun rays behind the window I was convinced that it is t-shirt weather. Deep blue sky, yeah, for sure! It turned out to be just 15°C and declining, though. So, I had to wear my jacket on today’s windy stroll. Pretty nice. Didn’t take many photos, but there you go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-10/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy crap, that’s really crazy!

Hahaha, you got me. When I read your first sentence I thought you were going to tell about your Wayland experience in comparison to X11. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @ionores@twtxt.net Thank you! Nope, still a petting farm over here. The only dangerous (to humans) animals are boars and ticks. But I only ever encountered a wild hog once in my entire life so far. Luckily, it took off and didn’t attack me. Ticks, on the other hand, regularly attack me.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Thanks mates!

Another nice stroll in nature last week: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-03/

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hahaha, woofcome back! :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It’s very well hidden, it took me a while to find that. Go to “Settings” in the menu bar up top → “Profile and Privacy” (already selected) → on the right at “User Info” → “1 Muted” → click the link with the minus in the circle at the message you want to unmute.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Heck yeah, that’s crazy! :-) Fingers crossed! (tt also agrees with the right™ hash)

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m going to join the party in Down Under. :-)

And we’re back to the regular landscape! Not only in subject but also photo orientation. No more silly portrait. I can’t recall it exactly, but I reckon that was one of ~20°C days. The evening sun was really crazy that day, made a great combination with the puddles: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-02/

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure if the confirmation helps at all. You just condition yourself to immediately press y on a daily basis.

Apart from that, aborting the removal should probably terminate the function with a non-zero exit code, something like return 1.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same! Another infrastructure apocalypse at work. Who needs reliable shit? Definitely not us.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Hahahaha, I heard this one before, but it’s brilliant! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net Ta! :-)

Pretty sunset from last weekend: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-03-30/

@prologic@twtxt.net Spring cleanup! That’s one way to encourage people to self-host their feeds. :-D

Since I’m only interested in the url metadata field for hashing, I do not keep any comments or metadata for that matter, just the messages themselves. The last time I fetched was probably some time yesterday evening (UTC+2). I cannot tell exactly, because the recorded last fetch timestamp has been overridden with today’s by now.

I dumped my new SQLite cache into: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/backup.tar.gz This time maybe even correctly, if you’re lucky. I’m not entirely sure. It took me a few attempts (date and time were separated by space instead of T at first, I normalized offsets +00:00 to Z as yarnd does and converted newlines back to U+2028). At least now the simple cross check with the Twtxt Feed Validator does not yield any problems.

And now, let’s finish it off with Besigheim’s old town. Only when we left, the sun peaked through the clouds. That was a bit unfortunate, but what can you do? It has some nice buildings. https://lyse.isobeef.org/besigheim-2025-03-30/

Today, we had a cleanup day with the scouts. I estimate that we ended up with about half a metric ton of rubbish. Despite the heat it was really great fun.

@prologic@twtxt.net In all my two Go projects I use modernc.org/sqlite and can’t complain. Works great for me.

@david@collantes.us This pink tree I featured in a few shots is a magnolia tree. I haven’t noticed any particular smell, it just looks pretty. :-) That’s a close-up: https://lyse.isobeef.org/bad-wimpfen-2025-03-28/18.jpg (I only noticed the spider and its web when I reviewed my photos.)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Happy to hear that. :-)

The photo series covering old stuff continues. This time, Gundelsheim. Actually, mostly the castle hotel Horneck, I hardly took any photos from the town itself. I really should have, though. Let me just blame… aehm… yeah, the rain! It’s totally the rain’s fault!! When it started to drizzle, I actually took the first photos, so it’s a total lie. https://lyse.isobeef.org/schlosshotel-horneck-in-gundelsheim-2025-03-30/

@arne@uplegger.eu I’m very glad I only rarely have to deal with .docx & Co. And when I have to, 99% is in read mode only. Even though, I don’t think that Markdown is the best choice, I use it on a daily basis. Some things, like links, in reStructuredText are better in my opinion.

Jira just resists to switch to Markdown and forces us to use its silly markup language.

For real typesetting, LaTeX is the way to go. But I very, very rarely do that.

Hirschhorn also offers a nice old town. The castle with all its many buildings up the mountain is very beautiful. This is my absolutely favorite one, it just looks soo great:

Walking back down the narrow stairs with all the crooked, well-worn steps of different heights and lengths was quite challenging.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/hirschhorn-2025-03-30/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Awwwwww! Thank you, that is now in my collection. :-) The other ones aren’t bad either, very nice!

@thecanine@twtxt.net My apologies, mate! :-( As @david@collantes.us pointed out, this was definitely not my intent at all.

For the easter egg hunt, I first looked for a hidden image map link on the pixel dog in the right lower corner itself. Maybe one giant pixel just links to somewhere else, I figured. But I couldn’t find any and then quickly moved on. Hence, I naturally viewed the HTML source. Because where else would be a good hiding place for easter eggs, right?

Next, I noticed the <font> tags. I thought I had read quite some time ago that they are not an HTML5 thing, but wasn’t entirely sure about it. So, I asked the W3C HTML validator. Sure enough. I thought I let you know about the violations. If somebody had found a mistake on my site, I’d love to hear about it, so I could fix it. I’m sorry that my chosen form of report didn’t resonate with you all that well. I reckoned you’ll also find it a bit funny, but I was clearly very wrong on that.

I actually followed the dog cow link to the video, so I ended up on the easter egg. However, I didn’t recognize it as such. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well.

Regarding my message about the browser quirks: I read your answer that you were arguing against the HTML validator findings. Of course, everybody can do with their sites whatever they likes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sorry for being completely offtopic, but that’s a really cute bird! :-)

A hike to the highest mountain in the Odenwald, the Katzenbuckel, lit. cat hillock. It was very windy and the sun very rarely showed its face, so it was quite chilly. Nice scenery, nevertheless. Surprisingly, this ski-jumping hill is still in operation. I’ve never expected this in a hundred years, judging by its state. https://lyse.isobeef.org/katzenbuckel-2025-03-29/

@arne@uplegger.eu ;-)

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, YMMD! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @xuu@txt.sour.is That sounds like kat! :-)

Is there some Makefile shenanigans going on maybe? $V and $C being swallowed by the Makefile. I fell in that trap again the other day.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, take some pictures when you do. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me @xuu@txt.sour.is @movq@www.uninformativ.de Glad you all agree. :-D My SOAP knowledge is extremely rusty, I luckily had not to deal with that crap anymore for quite some years now. I even couldn’t remember the XML declaration and had to look it up. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I’m also disappointed each and every time.

Let me introduce you to the much superior version 4 instead: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/twxm4.xml

@thecanine@twtxt.net And this is exactly why there are quirks modes in browsers…

I’m actually glad I don’t have to deal with all this web shit and work with compilers that hit me in the face when I do something illegal. :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu Oh no, you are in front of the line!!

Eberbach is nowhere near Bad Wimpfen in comparison, but still has a nice historic old town: https://lyse.isobeef.org/eberbach-2025-03-29/

Bad Wimpfen has a pretty cool old town with timber framed houses. Looks really beautiful: https://lyse.isobeef.org/bad-wimpfen-2025-03-28/

@thecanine@twtxt.net I found it! This looks like colored easter eggs when squinting.
