@movq@www.uninformativ.de Where do you stand on this nonsense? 🧐😆🤣

@bender@twtxt.net I guess most clocks don’t support that. 😅 My wrist watch can do it, you can select it in the menu:

In general, different transmitter means different frequency and different encoding, for example these two:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_from_NPL_(MSF)

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Why, because Germany is now listed as “opposed” on fightchatcontrol.eu? I’m not so sure. This is just one guy (Jens Spahn) saying “no we don’t want it”. That’s not an “official” stance, it’s very fragile and could change any minute. https://netzpolitik.org/2025/eu-ueberwachungsplaene-unionsfraktion-jetzt-gegen-chatkontrolle-innenministerium-will-sich-nicht-aeussern/

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Fuxk yeah 🙌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de how do you set your clock to use a specific time signal radio station? I have one wall clock in my office, it works great, but no way to set that.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org As the kids on imgur say: I always updoot birbs 👍

So green, so many mushrooms. 🤯

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, I will certainly check this out! Thanks for the tip, mate! <3

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Cool! 😎 You might be interested in my own learnings and toying around with building my own container engine / tooling (whatever you wanna call it) box. I had to learn a bunch of this stuff too 😅 Control Groups, Namespaces, Process Isolation, etc.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, that’s cool! :-) Feeding magpies seems to be an Aussie thing, the Cutting Edge Engineering Australia videos usually also include a cute magpie feeding clip.

@bender@twtxt.net Off you go to the magpie hunt! We wanna see Florida pies!

@bender@twtxt.net See the problem is you don’t live in the “busy” enough 😂 There are roaches everywhere here! 🤣 LOL snakes too! Plovers, Magpies, Crows, Spiders, even Deer for fucks sake 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I wouldn’t know where to look for little cockroaches, or roaches, in general! LOL. We buy seeds to feed them. But not around the neighborhood, otherwise we would have a problem. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net We have quite a few that are basically part of our friendly neighborhood. They knew we won’t chase them aware, scare them, etc. In fact some of us find little cockroaches to feed them, tose ‘em up in the air and watch them sweep in and grab the little suckers 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Dunno 🤷

@prologic@twtxt.net something happened on this one’s neck, right? Or was it a blow of wind that ruffled the feathers?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net They’re both great 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Here’s my magpie 🤣

@alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it Thanks mate! Ah cool, now I’m curious, what did you make? :-)

You used the rubber hammer to fold the metal, not to set the rivets, right? :-? I glued cork on my wooden mallet some time ago. This worked quite good for bending. But rubber might be even better as it is a tad softer. I will try this next time, I think I have one deep down in a drawer somewhere.

@zvava@twtxt.net No HEAD requests, but regular GETs with If-Modified-Since request headers if possible: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/main/internal/fetcher.go#L270

@bender@twtxt.net @alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it funnily enough i came up with the idea for a banner field when i started working on bbycll too (though i still need to implement avatar uploads themselves first)

@prologic@twtxt.net i’m guessing then a HEAD request is sent every 5m, and then the feed is fetched if the headers are different?

also what would be the cases where a feed would be fetched more than every five minutes? :o

@zvava@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net At first I added it without thinking when planning the possible fields based on other UIs I was researching.

I was about to discard it but after thinking about it a bit I noticed that the services allowing to have a separated nick and display_name could unlock some good uses.

For example some added context or at-a-glance information like pronouns or statuses (like Artist [Accepting commissions] or App Name (v2.5)) while other used a more readable version of the nick (blog.domain.com became Person Name's Blog).

Of course it is absolutely optional and it can be safely ignored, but with my vision of being able to build more that a pure twtxt clients, giving it a first-class support just like the other known fields felt right to me.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Great job!

I suggested it because I did it in the past, but never used it on bigger works.

In my case I did it exclusively on really small projects and used a thin rubber head hammer to prevent deforming the metal.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I can confirm.

An intern practicing with turtle had an error when launching it the first time because it was missing tkinter which it use internally.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Too bad. :-/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yep, there’s python3-tk and a bunch more packages with extensions.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.

It should be. Maybe your distro splits it off. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nope. I think they stayed only one year. 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! Are there still chicken on this field?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I never programmed with Tkinter myself and it’s been ages that I ran a program which used it. I always thought that it looks awful. But maybe there are nicer themes these days. I just wanted to give the demo python3 -m tkinter a try, but this module doesn’t exist. I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de damn! those are some fine looking chickens 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Whoop whoop 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Xfce is nice, but it’s also mostly GTK. I don’t really know the answer yet. For now, I’ll just avoid anything that uses GTK4.

For my own programs, I might have a closer look at Tkinter. I was complaining recently that I couldn’t find a good file manager, so it might be an interesting excercise to write one in Python+Tkinter. 🤔 (Or maybe that’s too much work, I don’t know yet.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was never a fan of GTK, because coming from KDE, it didn’t offer remotely as much of customizability. What are you switching to, Xfce?

@zvava@twtxt.net feeds are fetched at least every 5m (if they’ve changed)

@zvava@twtxt.net yarnd fetches the feeds roughly every ten minutes:

I suspect that the timing was just right. Or wrong, depending on how you’re looking at it. ;-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com @bender@twtxt.net this is vaguely concerning…does yarn refresh feeds every minute or two? or is there some special “notify twtxt.net to refresh my feed” that i don’t know about

@bender@twtxt.net Wow, you’re good.

It was an edit, within a minute or two of posting. I didn’t think anyone would notice.

That’s what I call on it. 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net woohoo! Take that, micro.crap! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de exactly! 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Who?

@bender@twtxt.net I don’t think so, but I might give it a shot when the “official” drivers no longer work at all.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com hmmm, what was this, an edit, a deletion?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de can’t you use generic drivers? I did that for an enterprise copier/printer/scanner we used to have at work, and it worked just fine!

@zvava@twtxt.net agreed. I think display_name will be redundant, and add to the “busy” factor. That is, the opposite of simplicity.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org lol 😅

@alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it i dont think display_name is worthwhile, since nick is functionally a display name

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Bahahahaha 🤣😆

Sieht ganz so aus, als hätte die gute @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ihre Büchse mit in den Kurort Bad Gateway genommen.

Sorry, this pun only works in German, where “Bad” means spa and is used as prefix for spa towns.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You should send ‘em this sample. ;-)
