In-reply-to » @lyse What is that crazy large Dino Chicken in 23.jpg? :D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh, ohh! Thanks! :D

Both of these scenarios is mindboggling – imagine such a world:

Gastornis species were very large birds that were traditionally thought to have been predators of various smaller mammals, such as ancient, diminutive equids. However, several lines of evidence, including the lack of hooked claws (in known Gastornis footprints), studies of their beak structure and isotopic signatures of their bones, have caused scientists to now consider that these birds were probably herbivorous, feeding on tough plant material and seeds.

If they ever invent a time machine, I wanna go back to the Dinos. šŸ¦•

In-reply-to » We visited the Jurassic Museum at the Willibalds Castle in EichstƤtt. As always, taking photos indoors is almost impossible with the low lighting and reflexions everywhere. We had a great and entertaining tour guide walk us through for an hour. Afterwards, we explored two, three hours on our own.

In-reply-to » Does anyone have time this weekend to manually test and validate and prove out this spec I'm calling Gitxt? A Twtxt-inspired purely decentralised Git federation/forge? šŸ¤” Hit me up! You need only git, curl and a web server of some kind.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m planning to have a look. Soon. I hope.

In-reply-to » I am finally building a Twtxt / Yarn.social inspired Git forge. I'm actually quite confident that y'all will quite like it, but I won't post links yet until I'm quietly confident in its design, functionality and behaviour(s).

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm. šŸ¤”

Okay, suppose you host a project using this new forge, and I want to send a pull request. What do I have to do?

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha. šŸ˜…

I’m not really sure what you have in mind. All I can safe with relatively big confidence is that users hate having to make another account. That’s why GitHub/Codeberg are so successful: One account gives you access to millions of projects.

So, once that problem is solved, anything else will probably just fall into place … ? šŸ˜…

In-reply-to » Started doing ā€œFraktur Freitagā€ last week on Mastodon, and why not post it here as well. (ā€œBlackletter Fridayā€? Doesn’t work in English. 🤪)

@david@daiwei.me

I wish I knew

Just give it a go. This stuff is super cheap. All you need is a ā€œpenā€, some nibs, ink, and paper. Costs like 20-30 bucks and lasts for several years. The hardest part is finding good paper, really, because most paper these days isn’t made for ink anymore. 🄓

And since social media is always only full of good results, here’s something ā€œshittyā€:

These are my first experiments in 2016 – and that’s after having practiced with a graphics tablet on a PC for a couple of weeks. šŸ˜…

In-reply-to » Okay, so, my website also includes my code / git repos, and those are made browsable by stagit. What I don’t like about this (these days) is that this includes all the diffs of my commits. In other words: All my code.

FTR, I’m seeing veeeeeeeeery few actual git clone operations in the logs. Most crawlers simply don’t do that and rely on the Git history being available as HTML pages.

So that’s a win. (For now.)

In-reply-to » If I say companies should at least consider the 3 line CC license before scraping my sites, I'm seen as the unreasonable one.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Double standards and cognitive dissonance are great, aren’t they? šŸ™„

(My favorite line last week came from one of those hardcore AI bros: ā€œAwww, man, hardware has gotten so expensive, everything sold out, this really sucks … *Thanks, nVidia.*ā€œ šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø)

I want to make this a weekly thing, but I obviously cannot guarantee it. šŸ˜…

It’s the little things that make me happy these days. Like adding a function to search for text with various encodings to my hex editor. All neatly organized in the menu and with accelerators.

There is this extremely annoying issue with my website:

https://movq.de/v/4acced3c8e/scroll.mp4

Notice how I’m scrolling, then switching to another tab, switching back, and then the scrolling position is different?

What the hell could cause this? It’s not always like this and I have only seen it in Firefox so far (but I very rarely use Chromium anyway), and this really happens a lot on my site but not on others.

Any ideas? Did I screw up the CSS somehow? šŸ¤”

In-reply-to » @movq https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-05/0/POSTING-en.html Very interesting! I basically never analyze binary files, but this were some great thoughts on that subject. I hope to remember them when I find myself in the situation to look at binaries more closely.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I don’t do it that often, either. But when I do, I always wanted to have such a tool. :-) And since it turned out super easy to ā€œimplementā€ … Why not.

In-reply-to » @movq Regarding https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-16/0/POSTING-en.html, how often do you edit the first commit? A good mate does the same for at least a whole decade, probably more. I never found myself in this situation. Even though I mess with commits on a daily basis. Just never the first one so far. 8-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Not that often – except for the last few months. šŸ˜… I was reorganizing lots of repos, merging them, splitting them, changing author names, whatever. Having an empty root commit was super handy (if there was one).
