@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si Not bad, quite a groovy sound.

Now, that’s cool shit, I have to say! Discovering so many hidden sounds… With Fotric Acoustic Imager: https://youtu.be/CKJT_ECOsK4

@bender@twtxt.net @david@daiwei.me Good debugging session 👌 Sounds like the root cause is twtxt.app on mobile — +00:00 timestamps and quoted mentions. I’ll dig into Yarnd’s side of that 🧐

We slept in the forest. It was really great except of my mate’s fucking terror dog who was barking and snarling the entire night to each and every sound. I had maybe half an hour of sleep in total. Despite that, it was pleasantly warm. Well, the night, that is. The heat was brutal during the days. Literally streams of sweat were running down on us on the way there in the evening and back in the morning.

Surprisingly, there weren’t any mozzies around at night, I would have lost all safe bets. On the way there, my mate convinced me to take a shortcut through the taller and taller growing grass. It’s been some time that somebody traveled on this track, so we had to search around a bit for the overgrown path where we could cross the mostly dried up creek. In the beginning I said that this will be a bad idea. Lo and behold, I discovered a tick on my inner upper leg the next morning. Luckily, I got it out with my tick hook on the first attempt.

The firefly season is ending. I only saw 200 of them or so. There was one female directly on the forest road. If only I brought my camera and tripod, that would have worked out I reckon. I had my torch with me and this looked really cool.

Dusk took forever today. It was really long light out there. Full moon is tomorrow.

On the way back, there was suddenly a load clatter and crashing sound 100 meters away from me. I didn’t see anything, but a tree fell over in the forest out of the blue. Fuck me dead, that was scary as hell. Luckily, I was already on the main road, only meadows around me. It’s the second time I witnessed a tree accidentally coming down. The first one was during the most expensive hail storm in our area so far in 2011 behind me when setting up a summer camp. The weather changed in less than 15 minutes.

Maybe not such a good idea to go out so late alone. :-? Any rustling in the forest immediately reminded me of the boar the other day. Luckily, always false alarm. Still a bit terrified from that event.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I noticed that loading="lazy" might not be so great after all.

This is without lazy loading:

The total page load time is around 400-500 ms. Okay.

Now this is with lazy loading:

It finished much quicker, after about 250 ms. Sounds good.

But notice this gap right here?

This wasn’t there before. With lazy loading, it now takes something like 80-100 ms until the browser even starts loading images. This is Chromium, but Firefox shows a similar gap.

The net result is that there is a very noticeable delay/flicker when you open a page, because it takes so long until the images have loaded. Yes, the layout doesn’t shift around, but that has nothing to do with lazy loading.

How odd. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sounds lovely! (I think. Not sure about spider webs and such. 😅)

I woke up to 26°C this morning. 🥵

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Awww, that sounds like a typical experience at school. 😅 They meant well but somehow it was still shitty …

I’ve never heard about that Wahlteil/Pflichtteil stuff (or forgot about it). Must be a BaWü thing. 🤔

@marcorocco@roccodrom.de such a feast! I had lentils soup, and a couples of eggs with onions in a scramble. Not bad, but not great. Your sounds very appealing!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm, indeed, this sounds a bit weird. Is it Fernwärme?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Be careful, sounds like the latter to me. Get a good rest, though! And maybe slow down a tad once you’re back. But now, enjoy your private hacking. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Not a fan of Mittelaltermärkte

, but that sounds like an interesting idea. I wonder if they end up shooting each other on accident. 😅

For this week’s (slightly late) #caturday, I’d like to introduce our 4th and final feline resident, the old boy we call Bugsy. He’s been with us for 8 years, and we think he’s 13-14 years old (but he’s not saying).

He used to sound a bit like a cartoon gangster (hence the name), but as the years have passed, he started to sound more like late-stage William Hickey (Uncle Lewis from Christmas Vacation).

He’s our sweet little old man, and he is loved.

@bender@twtxt.net That certainly sounds much better in English, yeah. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net So yeah, no, I do not have an inner monologue at all. Most of the time my inner mind is busy just replaying music or visuals (or at least it used to before I lost my sight, these days it just replays visuals and sounds), but there is never a time when I “talk to myself”, ever, I don’t ever think through something, a problem or an activity and have self-arguments. I just do.

@arne@uplegger.eu This is interesting. Sorry I missed this, I just found this post of yours and wanted to contribute 😅 Here’s something interesting about me… I don’t ever talk to myself, like ever. I have no, what they call, “inner monologue”. Maybe I’m odd, but my wife asked me this very same question a while back and I said the same, there is never anything in my head except ideas, visuals or sounds, sometimes all at once, but never an inner monologue of “talking to myself”.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know how to phrase the answer without sounding too bitter. 🤣 Let’s just say, nope, it won’t work.

@bender@twtxt.net I sound like I’m dumping on the game, but it really is alot of fun, especially with the right people. It’s just a whole different beast from D&D.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Thank you very much! <3

I only filtered out the noise floor of the camera itself. I selected one second of “silence” in Audacity and used the “Effect” → “Noise reduction” (Rausch-Verminderung in German) dialog with its default settings. I repeated that two or three times in total with different sections of “silence”. It’s very hard to find something where there is really no other bird singing in the background. But in contrast to the original audio, the edited version is noticeably more squeaky I find.

Oh, and I increased the volume. Especially after the noise reduction, everything is a bit quieter.

I got rather lucky, only a few cars went by and my microphone is too shitty, to really pick it up. :-D It’s kinda drowned out by the background noise. 45 seconds into the video, a car passes. Also at 1:10 without a doubt. I’m sure there were actually many were. Most of them passed behind me, the mic is facing away from that sound source. Of course, the densely built-up area still reflects a lot.

It also helped that Azabache is a loud singer himself. Fortunately, no idiots screaming either.

If you want to compare yourself or play around to see what other improvements you are able to achieve, I uploaded the original from the camera in the same directory under the lovely name DSCN5687.MOV. It’s 236.1 MiB in size.

@prologic@twtxt.net ooh sounds exciting!!

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Sounds plausible. I’m only in a tiny section of the metal universe.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org man, sounds rough, atleast ur back now though!

@bender@twtxt.net You got me there. Mine is mildly passive-aggressive, but ultimately supportive. Yours sounds… less helpful. 😀

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

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org beautiful! That’s what I would call a happy bird. I can imagine the sound, the sing song, in the air!

Azabache returned just a few minutes later when the sparrow or great/blue tit was gone. Next time I will use a tripod to record the video. Also sorry about the sound, I used all my Audacity skills to remove the noise, but somehow, combining the video and audio track in kdenlive somehow messed up the sound. There’s some horrible sqealing towards the beginning.

The sun was out and tricked everybody to believe it’s nice and warm. However, with the wind, the 11°C felt way colder. Still, super nice out there, I enjoyed it a lot. The quick trip to the dairy farm took me more than double the regular time, because I took close to 400 photos. Oh boy, Lyse is such an idiot!

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net That sounds great! I, too, have taken Friday off work. But I’m slaving away again at the move of one of my best mates.

@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.

HEY! I think we all noticed that privacy is dying. Government and corporate entities around the world are building the laws and tools to track you, from everything you write, to the media you consume, to where you drive your car and the people you associate with. Gopher I believe Is one of the last bastions of freedom away from what I call “Corpo web”. GopherSpace is free, I wrote my client so I know it’s safe, and I can route my traffic over tor or any proxy of my choosing. I think we should use gopher as a means to communicate and get out of the modern corpo web because soon everything you do and say on the modern web or possibly corporate owned devices is under scrutiny, even more so than it ALREADY IS. Right now I can use tor and my custom gopher cli to communicate privately here. With the ways the laws are going they are going to implement things like age verification to track you and they’ll deem privacy focused open source software as tools for circumventing these rules. It’s a slippery slope. I need to stop writing before I sound really crazy.

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 yeah, that sounds really nicely.

What a beautiful, beautiful 0°C Sunday arvo and evening! The weather forecast delayed the snow by the minute. An hour or so after it finally started very, very lightly, I headed off for the woods to check out the lake again. Unfortunately, with the fresh snow layer, the crazy wild surface texture of the ice sheet wasn’t visible anymore. But it brought some other nice views and photo opportunities.

I initially thought that I just go for a quick turn. However, with the snowfall a wee bit increasing I was hooked and kept going. Visibility was poor, but the snow blankets just looked too stunning. The road surfaces were quite slippery, so I often just walked alongside the pathways. On downhill slopes I had some good fun sliding down the road on my feet. With varying success. Luckily, I managed not to fall.

On the summit of the mountain the twigs had those absolutely magnificently looking windblown crystal coverings. Awwwwwww! They never get old. It was already getting dark, so the camera was tired and wanted to sleep. The snow program then made use of the flash and I’m quite pleased with how these shots turned out.

Two deer crossed the road in front of me and ran into the woods, that was sight for sore eyes. Although I felt bad that they had to flee from me in this white terrain. By the time I got home, the snow had accumulated around eight centimeters in height, even in town down in the valley. Walking on this fresh snow is just amazing. And I love the sound it makes. Today, the snow consistency must have been just right, because the crushing sound was really loud.

I cannot recall that I had frozen hair and beard before, but today, there was a thick ice buildup. In case I had, it was definitely never this much. Felt really cool.

Enough of this preliminary skirmishing, there ya go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-01-25/

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds like an excellent project! Looking forward to it.

Okay, I had heard of “River” before but I was not aware of this:

https://codeberg.org/river/river

River defers all window management policy to a separate window manager implementing the river-window-management-v1 protocol. This includes window position/size, pointer/keyboard bindings, focus management, window decorations, desktop shell graphics, and more.

This sounds promising and it follows the old X11 model. River does all the nasty Wayland work and I can make just the WM? 🤔🤯

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yep sounds about right 🤔

It totally sounds like an active warzone around here. So, I just went on a very, very, very quick stroll to check out our sunset from ontop our hill (were all the bangs are way more horrible): https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-31/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I see. Just crudely checked on my computer, with around 0.013 seconds, Python 2.7 seems a tad faster than Python 3.14’s 0.023 seconds in this little program.

The lazy imports sound not too bad, but I just skimmed over them. There are surprisingly many exceptions, but yeah, no way around them. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That sounds useful. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net are you able to send me a video recording of how that sounds because I don’t think that that’s what they called it at the breakfast? 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I like the sounds of this technique a lot redirecting these AI crawling assholes to multi gigabyte files! The only concern I have is how do you do it in such a way that you don’t end up destroying your own ISP speed test servers?

The funny thing is, Yarn moving to Twt Hash v2 sounds a tad more optimistic than Git adopting SHA-256.

Git is several years too late, while Yarn is pretty much on time.

@prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t have phrased it any better than @bender@twtxt.net. :-)

Twice or three times the money as before sounds a bit suspicious to me. Of course, I could be wrong, but I always was under the impression, that your last jobs weren’t all that badly salaried. If the new offer is really paid this highly, it might be a shit job. For me, money isn’t everything, I’d rather opt for a lower income where the job is fun than hating to go to work every day. But if the new job ticks all boxes, go for it. :-)

Also: Consult your pillow, don’t rush it.

@bender@twtxt.net Sounds about right.

I had a brainfart yesterday, though. For whatever reason I thought of subdomains, which are modeled with server entries in nginx. So, each could define its own access_log location. However, there are no subdomains in place! Searching around, I didn’t find any solution to give each user their own access log file.

One way would be a cronjob, aeh, systemd timer as I learned the other day, that greps the main access log and writes all user access log files with only the relevant stuff.

Thank you for https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-11-09/0/POSTING-en.html, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! I never configured systemd timers, but I would have gotten it wrong, too. Good to know when I eventually stumble across that in the future. I’m still using cron. Yeah, its field order sucks and I always have to look it up (because I don’t deal with that all that often). Indeed, systemd’s order sounds more reasonable.

@threatcat@tilde.club that seems like a cool reason to drive though. Sounds fun!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … sounds like a bad day. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net That sounds horrible. 😅 I wouldn’t want to own such a car. (My plan is not to buy a new car after my current one finally broke down entirely.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org First time I heard about eCall. I don’t think I like this. 🫤 Feels like another attempt at going for complete surveillance. Yes, yes, it’s about “security”/“safety” … it always is.

@alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it Hahaha, why does this sound so familiar? :-D

Finally, new books arrived. Let’s see if Dead Silence is as good as it sounds. 😃

I prefer “glog” over “phlog.” Phlog sounds like a character from Spy Kids
