“The Internet Used To Be A Place”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de your reply got me almost ROFLMAO IRL. It drew a laudable laugh, for sure! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net geez, a simple “I don’t wanna” would suffice. 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Ah, god damnit. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, you fetched it too quickly, it was edited seconds after picking the wrong image. LOL. Which brings us back in a whole, huge circle, to twtxt edits, and how to handle them. 😅

@thecanine@twtxt.net At least it’s all chromium 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lots of things stop me 🤣 crappy wifi, no international roaming, no remote access (by design) just to name a few 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Nothing stops you from programming while in Vietnam. 😏😈😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh damn ! I’m on holidays in Ciwtnam 🤣 I’ll be late to the party !

Advent of Code 2025 starts tomorrow. 🥳🎄

This year, I’m going to use Python 1 on SuSE Linux 6.4, writing the code on my trusty old Pentium 133 with its 64 MB of RAM. No idea if that old version of Python will be fast enough for later puzzles. We’ll see.

@bender@twtxt.net Hmm, something’s weird with that post:

😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Damn. That was stupid of me. I should have posted examples using 2026-03-01 as cutoff date. 😂

In my actual test suite, everything uses 2027-01-01 and then I have this, hoping that that’s good enough. 🥴

def test_rollover():
    d = jenny.HASHV2_CUTOFF_DATE
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(days=7), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(seconds=3), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(seconds=2), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d - timedelta(seconds=1), TEXT)) == 7
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d, TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(seconds=1), TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(seconds=2), TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(seconds=3), TEXT)) == 12
    assert len(jenny.make_twt_hash(URL, d + timedelta(days=7), TEXT)) == 12

(In other words, I don’t care as long as it’s before 2027-01-01. 😏😅)

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, cool! Can we see the results? :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Sweeet! 🥳 enjoy your holiday!

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe What do you mean by that? 🧐 Clients don’t care about the order of twts in a feed. For display clients usually sort by timestamp.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah. something i’m trying to avoid in this 2nd attempt 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see problems with that, yes. Case in point:

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, it is only Manton (with which I don’t see eye to eye) for now. I am simply anticipating the issue, rather than experiencing it fully right now. If efforts continue on this direction, you see what I am writing about, right?

@kiwu@twtxt.net I see. I have no experience on the matter, sadly. :-( I am sure you can find plenty of recommendations online. Beware of anything below $100 (you will find plenty of cheap, but they are, indeed, cheap in the whole sense of the word). I’d say, a decent one will start around $250-$300, and up.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Gemini agrees. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Judging by the BRG and BIDV buildings, I conclude this is Hồ Hoàn Kiếm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho%C3%A0n_Ki%E1%BA%BFm_Lake

this is apparently a famous lake in Hanoi city in Vietnam. Don’t know what it’s called though.

@kiwu@twtxt.net I’ve no idea about regulations in your area, but over here there are different taxation rules for video and photo cameras. Hence, manufacturers limit the video recording time of photo cameras typically to half an hour, so that they don’t classify as video cameras with their higher taxes.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Worked out perfectly for me, too! :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Tada! There you once hope for your flight and ride to be delayed and then of course they are right on time! :-D You gotta wait either way. ;-) Looks like you got some good drinks, though.

Yeah, how? We are facing this very problem.

We have arrived at our first hotel. but check-in isn’t till 2PM 🤣 We arrived at 12:45PM 😆

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe That’s the one 😆

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Very nice! 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh i see!

It’s only been really @manton@bridge.twtxt.net that’s new on yhe disxover cure? 🧐 And only because i’m following him (only person whose Fediverse handle i could remember 🤣)

@prologic@twtxt.net Very rarely. And if I/we do, then it’s by train or by car. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I want to record vlogs. it doesn’t have to be a super high quality one, just something that records for longer periods of time!!

@bender@twtxt.net a mobile phone camera doesn’t cut it because it cant take long videos. I would say like the cheapest possible tbh! it doesn’t have to be an amazing grade a camera, just something that will record in decent quality for long periods of time! I mostly want it to make vlogs :p

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You don’t go on holidays anywhere? 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Really? That’s nice. 😅 (God, I haven’t been on a plane in 25 years, I think.)

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Too true!

One of the advantages of being vegetarian. you get served your in-flight meal first. before everyone else 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net What’s happened for you here? 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, I would feel the same. :-)

@kiwu@twtxt.net It also greatly depends on what kind of videos you plan to record. When you go, let’s say, diving, the specs need to be probably more suited to that type of environment. What about zoom, macro shots, wide landscapes, and so on? When typically mounted on a tripod, I’d say builtin image stabilization is not required, but for more action shots, this is fairly important to not get sea sick. :-)

I’ve got a Nikon Coolpix S9300. I typically only take photos, but it also works for the occasional video. Free hand moves are quite difficult, but when mounted to a tripod, this is not too shabby. There’s absolutely no way around a (makeshift) tridpod when zooming in, though. The audio is definitely not the best, especially wind destroys everything. If I recorded more video, I would certainly want to have an external microphone.

@prologic@twtxt.net one of them is me anyway

@movq@www.uninformativ.de All good! 👌 Likely bug on my end (bridge)

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm. 🤔 Well, I don’t run that server myself, so I can’t peek into the logs to see what’s going wrong … 🥴

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yea or as a comment in your feed somewhere

Seems i can’t add you to the bridge hmmm

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So that’s @movq@www.uninformativ.de ? I’ll first have to put it into the bridge…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So that’s movq@tilde.zone ? I’ll first have to put it into the bridge…
