@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nattfödd was the last album I heard / bought. I liked Katla and Wilska as singers (saw them live with Wilska, that was a ton of fun), but then they switched again and the new guy wasn’t really my thing. Maybe I should check them again. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Glad to hear it. Hopefully this, too, shall pass.

Maybe the bots will get tired of web-surfing, or the companies paying for it will all crash, or we’ll find a way to protect our content while still being able to share it, or maybe we’ll just all suddenly learn to live together with the bots in peace and prosperity for all. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 🤞

Website might come back soon, although probably mostly unchanged. I have no idea how to stop the bots. 🤷‍♀️ So I’ll just gonna live with it? Is that the key to happiness™? 🤷‍♀️

Since I missed another #Caturday, I thought I’d introduce the 6th (and most recently arrived) mammalian quadruped with whom we share living space, a young lady known as The Princess Astrid.

She’s technically our grandpuppy (being our daughter’s “daughter”), but we considered the pibbles to be sisters, and they truly do love each other.

Okay, so this is live now under https://movq.de/git/. („Kurzen Prozess gemacht.“)

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure if this really counts as a draft mode or this is what you had in mind. I just was in the editor for ages and didn’t close it. tt provides an integrated preview for the rendered message in there. It automatically updates every second.

Here’s a screenshot of the compose view with the conversation context on the top to which to reply to, the editor in the middle and the almost-live preview at the bottom, I hope it’s big enough:

But it’s not like I hit the “Add message” button in the compose view (the one currently selected on the screenshot), see the message in the conversation tree and then come back into the compose view to continue editing. There’s no edit functionality in tt. Once the message is appended to my twtxt.txt file on disk, all I can do is edit it with vim. The U+2028 line breaks are really annoying to deal with (I’m sure I could do something about that if I spent the time), so I try to avoid that at all costs.

Once new messages have been added to my local file, I then manually upload the file to my server in a separate terminal. There’s no upload command integrated into tt. Right from my very first message in the beginning, I’ve always done it exactly like that. I’m used to this and it really doesn’t bother me. But I can see that others might not be fans of that at all. I might add an upload mechanism to tt at some point in the future.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so pretty! Ah, the anticipation of an incoming heat wave! Now you guys have a small glimpse of what we live with here almost every single day. 😅

I didn’t even know that live chat could even be possible on Gopher, though I do recall seeing a text board.

Have you ever lived in a haunted house…

My sister in Texas stepped on a Coral snake last night. They are poiAs long as you live, keep learning how to live.

Just finished watching They Live (1988) again, one of my favorite movies, and one that has (sadly) remained relevant for nearly 40 years (some might even argue it’s more relevant today than ever).

Obey. Consume. No independent thought. Honor apathy. Do not question authority.

They live, we sleep.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha. It could have been worse, though. I’ve heard stories from others that were many levels crazier than what I experienced. And I’m glad that I was very, very lucky with almost all of my teachers throughout all of school. One of my maths teacher, who was also my computer science teacher then, is the reason I do what I do for a living. It’s all his fault! ;-)

Ja, possibly a BaWü thing. The ministry of education and cultural affairs changes the rules, curriculums and details every one or two years, anyway.

Said teacher had to fight real hard that he was allowed to teach CS in class 12 and 13. As a real subject, that is, not just an extracurricular activity („AG“). At first, the ministry refused, because we’re just am „allgemeinbildendes Gmyi“, not an „informationstechnisches Gymi“. It’s insane, you’ve got super motivated (and technically as well as humanly excellent) teachers and then forbid them to offer a class. What the hell!? (Fun fact on top, he had a doctor in CS and was also teaching at the university of applied sciences.)

Eventually, they granted permission to only have a two hours a week class („zweistündig, wie Nebenfach“). One or two years later – too late for me, unfortunately – they allowed four hours a week („vierstündig, wie Hauptfach“). But each pupil had to sign upfont that they will not take CS class in the Abi. That was still exclusive to ITGs only. Completely ridiculous.

I reckon, you can talk to any random teacher and they will endlessly tell you about very dubious decicions from the ministry. :-/

Heads up (literally): There’s going to be a solar eclipse in August: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2026 Mostly partial, unless you happen to live in Greenland/Iceland/Spain.

And so marks the beginning of text-based updates for Living Cartoon Company. Will be made available to Linux Prepper more broadly.

A lot of questions keep me awake at night.

One of them - If I had only 5 more years to live, what would be my gift to the world?

I did the live-preview thing now:

https://movq.de/v/120a8db205/vid-1779458258.mp4

Also shows the old value for comparison.

And editing bytes as a binary number: https://movq.de/v/4c3617bbd1/vid-1778939973.mp4

I don’t need this feature that often. Maybe it would be nice to have a live-preview of the new value in hex/dec. We’ll see.

Where do people who still use i486 live? Maybe, I will try to move to there, so I won’t have to upgrade devices.

Everything changes, right? I know we sound like curmudgeons, and perhaps AI is the next step. We are living its early infancy, the struggles and dislikes, the errors and flaws, and generations after us will simply benefit from it, and see it as natural as my children see the Internet today (it isn’t natural to me, I was born way before it).

Or maybe AI isn’t the next step. Either way, whether we like it or not, there is truly absolutely nothing (or close to) we can do. Well, complain we can, of course. :-P

You should study your tools if you’re planning to FAFO with them. Now use a live USB and see if the grub files are missing something, or just learn how grub works.

(This one actually has the potential to live longer than 3 days.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org sounds like a plan, it’d be the second biggest version, in Australia.

Number one is on the rplace.live map canvas, where the previous one is in America and the one from today here - no reason other than the fact those countries had a good empty spot, to put them in, at the time I drew them.

@prologic@twtxt.net well, it isn’t rocket science, is it? 😅 Yet, without using the hashes and starting to follow people, it is very, very rudimentary. I know, I know, there were a couple of years during which people lived just fine without those. Yet, once you get used to certain things, there is no going back.

Ezekiel 4:12 …words to live by

But use your brain. In Exodus 34 is written, that Moses did not eat and drink for 40 days. Nobody can live without water 40 days. that’s a lie.

Do not die from hunger. Man does not live from bread only, but from every word out of God’s mouth. Read the Good News of Matthew in the Bible. bible.com or 5fi.sh in every language or gopher://rbfh.de or gopher://sdf.org/1/users/scn/Bibel .

@bender@twtxt.net Sweet! So glad that Twtxt still lives, and that everyone’s been keeping busy. My main computer is broken, It’ll take me some time to setup jenny on the R-pi and try to catch-up.

Have a blessed week-end everyone!

My first blog post is live

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t have any statistics, just observe what is around me, so it’s very subjective. I know a bunch of kids with names I’ve never heard before. Sometimes, I first thought other kids were making fun of their friends by calling them by made-up nonsense. But no. Without question, I live under a rock. I just looked up some of them that came to mind immediately and they seem to be of Greek, Swedish and Latin origin, etc.

If you lived alone but there was a mirror it can seem like there is someone else around

@movq@www.uninformativ.de my mum, who hand washed clothes for many, many years, would stare at you, incredulously, and tell you, “have fun with that!”. Hand washing a ton of clothes, including sheets, etc., is a royal, glorious, pain! Now drying it, when you live on the land of eternal sunshine, is a different matter.

What a sad day for South America and the world. We live in an era devoid of international solidarity.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What I wish for once on this miserable planet is for coporations one day ohave a different set of reasons to exist and thrive other than:

but since the only goal of that manufacturer is to make money, they do it

Life becomes very boring and uninteresting when your only goal in life is to “make more fucking money” 💰 Fuck 🤬 Fuck this Corporatocracy we live in 🤦‍♂️

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Because you might not want to commit all changed files in a single commit. I very often make use of this and create several commits. In fact, I like to git add --patch to interactively select which parts of a file go in the next commit. This happens most likely when refactoring during a feature implementation or bug fix. I couldn’t live without that anymore. :-)

If you have a much more organized way of working where this does not come up, you can just git commit --all to include all changed files in the next commit without git adding them first. But new files still have to be git added manually once.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … I was about to write “it really is worse where you live”, then I heard the first bang out on the street. 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net It’s fun living in the future isn’t it 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net merry Christmas! I keep forgetting you live in our future. 😅

ur the peice of shit thats too pathetic to live

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, give it a shot. At worst you know that you have to continue your quest. :-)

Fun fact, during a semester break I was actually a little bored, so I just started reading the Qt documentation. I didn’t plan on using Qt for anything, though. I only looked at the docs because they were on my bucket list for some reason. Qt was probably recommended to me and coming from KDE myself, that was motivation enough to look at the docs just for fun.

The more I read, the more hooked I got. The documentation was extremely well written, something I’ve never seen before. The structure was very well thought out and I got the impression that I understood what the people thought when they actually designed Qt.

A few days in I decided to actually give it a real try. Having never done anything in C++ before, I quickly realized that this endeavor won’t succeed. I simply couldn’t get it going. But I found the Qt bindings for Python, so that was a new boost. And quickly after, I discovered that there were even KDE bindings for Python in my package manager, so I immediately switched to them as that integrated into my KDE desktop even nicer.

I used the Python KDE bindings for one larger project, a planning software for a summer camp that we used several years. It’s main feature was to see who is available to do an activity. In the past, that was done on a large sheet of paper, but people got assigned two activities at the same time or weren’t assigned at all. So, by showing people in yellow (free), green (one activity assigned) and red (overbooked), this sped up and improved the planning process.

Another core feature was to generate personalized time tables (just like back in school) and a dedicated view for the morning meeting on site.

It was extended over the years with all sorts of stuff. E.g. I then implemented a warning if all the custodians of an activitiy with kids were underage to satisfy new the guidelines that there should be somebody of age.

Just before the pandemic I started to even add support for personalized live views on phones or tablets during the planning process (with web sockets, though). This way, people could see their own schedule or independently check at which day an activity takes place etc. For these side quests, they don’t have to check the large matrix on the projector. But the project died there.

Here’s a screenshot from one of the main views:

This Python+Qt rewrite replaced and improved the Java+Swing predecessor.

@javivf@adn.org.es not having any issues on my M4 mini, no. Smooth. There are some visual discordances I don’t like, but if I give them a blind eye I can live with them. 😅

We had some gray soup with the occasional fine rain with strong wind gusts. Despite the bad forecast we took the train to Geislingen/Steige and strolled up to the Helfenstein castle ruin. All the colorful leaves were so beautiful, it didn’t matter that the sun was behind thick layers of clouds.

We then continued to the Ödenturm (lit. boring tower). By then the wind had picked up by quite a bit, just as the weatherman predicted. We were very positively surprised that the Swabian Jura Association had opened up the tower. Between May and October, the tower is typically only manned on Sundays and holidays between 10 and 17 o’clock. But yesterday was Saturday and no holiday. The lovely lady up there told us that they’re currently experimenting with opening up on Saturday, too, because there are some highly motivated members responsible for the tower.

We were the very first visitors on that day. Last Sunday, when the weather lived up to the weekday’s name, they counted 128 people up in the tower. Very impressive.

The wind gusts were howling around the tower. Luckily, there are glass windows. So, it was quite pleasant up in the tower room. Chatting with the tower guard for a while, we got even luckier: the sun came out! That was really awesome. The photos don’t do justice. As always, it looked way more stunning in person.

Thanks to all the volunteers who make it possible to enjoy the view from the thirty odd meters up there. That certainly made our day!

After signing the guestbook we climbed down the staircase and returned to the station and headed back. The train even arrived on time. What a great little trip!
