In-reply-to » I correct in public, and congratulate the same. I expect similarly. I am all heart! ☺️

@prologic@twtxt.net whichever works for you. Just about everyone is offering “great” advice these days; “ancient wisdom”. Many trying to inspire others. You know what? You be you, yo do you. 😅

In-reply-to » Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

What’s the relation between the brains of mice, and the human brain? I am kind of lost trying to make the connection.

I also read that it isn’t 5 watts, but more like 10-20 watts. Still a super tiny consumption, comparing to what it takes to run anything AI.

In-reply-to » Add support for skipping backup if data is unchagned · 0cf9514e9e - backup-docker-volumes - Mills 👈 I just discovered today, when running backups, that this commit is why my backups stopped working for the last 4 months. It wasn't that I was forgetting to do them every month, I broke the fucking tool 🤣 Fuck 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Just needed to update the version of the tool I packaged as an OCI image 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net So, this flag isn’t doing exactly what you thought it does? Or is there a bug in the implementation itself?

In-reply-to » I updated wordwrap.[ch] to more closely match the interface for string(2); it's now just that plus a margin. I also updated litclock and marquee to match. http://a.9srv.net/src/index.html

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! Fixed the typos. The links will stay broken for a bit because my online man collection is busted. It’s on the list. :-/

In-reply-to » 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/

@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.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org now, that’s what I am talking about! Having been witness of similar sunsets, I would wholeheartedly agree that a photo (no matter how good!) is a poor replacement for not being able to spectate it in person.

In-reply-to » 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/

@ionores@twtxt.net that ought to be some photo! I change mine at least once a month or so. It keeps me entertained.

@bender@twtxt.net Fair enough 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net in this case it isn’t vendor lock-in. I believe they do it because the carrier “eats” the costs (the interest part of the instalments). The phones are fully unlocked.

I will return the two we got for parents, and re-buy them again, this time on an instalment plan. Why pay $2,000 up front when you can split the cost in convenient monthly payments, all interest free, right?

@bender@twtxt.net I hate vendor lock-in too 🤣
