@david@daiwei.me Everyday, which is why we love him. 😁

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, the world is quick in inventing a better idiot. :-D

Went 0-for-3 tonight, first time in a while. I was doing well both of the first two games, but the 3rd game… Well, the less said the better.

For next week, I guess it’s time for the return of Chatterfang and another Night of 1000 Squirrels.

Just remember, they brought it on themselves…

For this special International #Caturday, here’s some pics of Emperor Maximilian I posing on his cat tree. #cats

@david@daiwei.me Also if you wouldn’t mind writing up an Issue for the image/upload problem too, that would be great 👍 I still haven’t solved it properly, but I’ll try to do so today. There’s also an issue uploading images via the yarnd API path from the Twtxt App too, which I can replicate with basically any photo from my iPhone’s Photo gallery hmm 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Are you able to describe this bug as an Issue in the Gitea Issue Tracker such that it can be reproduced and fixed? 🙏

@david@daiwei.me Absolutely insane! For almost all the tools I always need two hands for sure. I can’t imagine using just a single one. And then his stuff turns out 100 times better than I could ever do.

There are advantages with just a single hand, though. I cut myself in the finger with scissors earlier. How stupid is that! :-D

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Thanks!

I can’t claim the art (that came from https://www.charlesgeart.com/projects/3qKQqg), but I think it makes for a slick design overall.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de True enough. I guess it’s just the worst kind of “groupthink”, silently correcting “mistakes” (aka minority responses).

This would seem to imply that the answer being shouted by the most voices in unison is “correct”. How could that possibly go wrong? 🙃

@david@daiwei.me centralised right?

Thank you, @david@daiwei.me!

This is really crazy. What a beautiful Katana and sheath. In comparison to the rest of the sword, the blade looks boring. Unbelievably gorgeous. Hats off to this single-handed craftsman, my goodness!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com It only did that after I asked it what’s going on. Before that, it treated all my attempts as regular trustworthy (but silently “corrected”) sources. Only a completely garbled up page (all words put into random order) was recognized as garbage. Everything else was: “Hey, that’s a good source! Here’s a summary: $correct_summary_with_original_meaning_even_though_the_actual_page_said_otherwise”

Just printed and sleeved some proxies for tomorrow night’s #Magic games, including this one from my Guardians of the Multiverse deck:

He’s Spider-Man Supreme, from Clash of the Champions - a Spider-Man from a universe where Peter Parker is also the Sorcerer Supreme of his Earth. He’s one of my favorite characters in the game, and I thought he’d be an appropriate proxy for Cosmic Spider-Man (the best card from the Spider-Man set, but only really useful for a tribal Spiders deck).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de On the bright side, it decided not to trust your website. It didn’t poison the bot, per se, but it did “determine” that the information presented on the site was unreliable. Maybe that means it won’t use your site as a source?

I’m honestly surprised that some pictures actually turned out decent: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-08-07/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @david@daiwei.me Cursed shit!

I hate having my website offline, so I tried to bring it back in a honey-potted version: “AI” agents get served article versions with inverted meaning, like “do” replaced with “don’t” and so on.

It didn’t work. Claude noticed it and “fixed” it back to the original version. When I asked it, “wait, nowhere on the page does it say $string, check again”, it said:

This is the creepiest shit ever. Silently “fixing” stuff behind my back is the epitome of untrustworthiness.

Open the bay doors, HAL.

I finally managed to finish reading “How fast are Linux pipes anyway?”: https://mazzo.li/posts/fast-pipes.html That’s cool shit. Very interesting, highly recommended.

@david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net IDK, some people like to use their social media feeds as soapboxes or megaphones, others as public(-ish) speaker phones (I know I tend to oscillate between these two extremes myself).

Speaking for myself, I tend to be more of a lurker on most social platforms, but something about twtxt makes me want to engage with the people here. Maybe it’s the quality of the individuals (❤️), or the relatively laid-back pace here compared to the attention economies of other platforms…IDK what it is, but I like it. 🙂

@prologic@twtxt.net Everywhere I look. 🙃

@david@daiwei.me Wanna try again? 🙏

@david@daiwei.me Okay 👌

@david@daiwei.me No idea 🤷 We shall see! haha 😂

@david@daiwei.me Ahhh so you had a WebP you downloaded from somewhere on your Phone and you’re trying to uploaded it via the Twtxt.App? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Is this from your camera, or some other source of WebP somewhere? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Why not indeed 😅 I’m taking nearly a whole month off from Sept 10 to Oct 6 Haha 🤣

@david@daiwei.me It absolutely was a steam bath. sweat sweat

@david@daiwei.me Ta! I only noticed that at the computer but not when I took the photo. :-)

Blurry as fuck, but there ya go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-08-04/

What have you been up to, @kiwu@twtxt.net? Already melted in this brutal heat?

In light of recent events, check out your mentions. :-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com @prologic@twtxt.net Sounds about spot on.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Third time luck… oh wait. Maybe you’ll find the disks again in the colder season. Still sounds like a good time with your mate in the outdoors. :-)

Looks like the sign had also been hit with one or the other disk over time. :-D

@david@daiwei.me you’re quite possibly right!

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice choice!

I was always partial to those 194x-style “bullet hell” games. 🛩️

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com And… Are there basically a lot of “village idiots”? 🤔

Gonna recreate the classic [Break out](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakout_(video_game) game this weekend for the Mills Games Cabinet – Anyone else got any ideas, requests? 🤔 #games #ebitengine

I finally managed to get back out disc golfing today at Vietnam Veterans Park and had a good time despite losing a brand new disc on hole 3 (on its 3rd throw ever, my glow-in-the-dark Lynx disappeared into an overgrown creek-bed and was swallowed by the underbrush). After my buddy lost a disc on hole 4, we were kinda demoralized and both threw for crap the rest of the course, but it was still a nice day to be slingin’ in the sun…

@david@daiwei.me Yes it does!

@kiwu@twtxt.net Hi!

Hahaha, laughing my ass off! :‘-D Interview with a Sysadmin in 2026 [Corporate] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7IHInNJZvE

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Jesus…

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hahaha, I don’t recall when I first stumbled across it, but I’m sure it must have been the same experience you had.

Ignoring the consistent fuck-up of the decimal point (German reverses comma and dot, we use a comma as the decimal separator and the dot as the thousands separator), they managed to print the amount correctly in most e-mails. But the “shipping is underway” e-mail is broken. For ages.

@dce@hashnix.club @prologic@twtxt.net We’re getting cooked at humid 36°C right now. The thundergods can’t decide if we’ll be hit or not.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this reminds me of when I’d started learning C. This threw me off so bad, and it took me an unreasonable time to wrap my head around the difference between the precisions of floats and doubles. 🥲

@dce@hashnix.club nah that’s pretty hot 🥵

@david@daiwei.me I don’t know what you mean, we never bribe our photo subjects with treats. 😁

She usually keeps most of them on all night, although her rear-end is prone to escaping.
