@prologic@twtxt.net A person? Pooping on the street? Yikes.

As my wife was driving and towing us us to our final destination.. Just before a little locality called Mount Larcom, we went past a soan on the side of the road doing a full dump! 🤯 💩 So disgusting 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wahrscheinlich, aber ich find das klasse. :-)

Magpie:

Oops. Pay closer attention next time. I accidentally made some art, I guess:

@arne@uplegger.eu Hahaha, die sind echt urkomisch, großartig! :‘-D

Werwolfpisse, ich lach mich schlapp! :’-D

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s a good looking rig you have at a nice spot. I also really love the bark texture of these gum trees. Keep the pics coming. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, lovely. 🥳

@arne@uplegger.eu Entschuldige, aber auf Rechtschreibfehler hinzuweisen, ist vermutlich das deutscheste, was ein Mensch tun kann. 😂

@arne@uplegger.eu (Hey, no kink shaming.)

@david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net Hahaha, thanks! :-D

Stop over in a place called Gin Gin 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org very nice 👌

Someone spilled the paintbox across the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-23-abendhimmel/

@prologic@twtxt.net I expected Yeppoon to be way more north. :-D But it’s indeed north of you. Have fun! The weather forecast doesn’t sound too bad.

@arne@uplegger.eu Geil! Jetzt bin ich aber auf Deine Geschichten zum Sprachwirrwarr gespannt. Erzähl. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Currently, yarnd links @david@daiwei.me’s mention to /external?uri=… that results in an HTTP 404 “Cannot find external feed”. I reckon no user on this yarnd is subscribed to @mlot@tilde.club’s feed, hence there’s nothing to show. Just fetching the feed on demand of course isn’t an option for privacy and security reasons, at least not for anonymous users. However, in my opinion it would be better if the link pointed to the raw feed URL instead.

Hahaha, @david@daiwei.me! Why did the duck go to jail?

echo Zm9yIHNlbGxpbmcgcXVhY2sK | base64 -d

@david@daiwei.me I’ve added in a little exception to the WAF, if it doesn’t work (at least until I figure why the hell are twtxt-app requests getting caught up in my Known Bad Actors rule in the first place), then I’ll have to tear the whole thing down and redo it from scratch.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Suddenly makes David versus Goliath much more believable.

Just a very regular sunset, nothing special: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-22-abendhimmel/

@david@daiwei.me Hmmmm²

It’s a sunn o)))-y day.

So, this is happening:

And this:

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com He’s asleep by now 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org unfortunately, you’ve guessed right.

@david@daiwei.me Are you still getting the 403 thing?

The shutters weren’t closed yet, so I noticed some nice color reflections outside. I checked the other cardinal direction and lo and behold: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-21-abendhimmel/ Just in time. Contrary to what I first thought, I hadn’t missed the best part yet. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That is unexpected indeed. There was a slingshot involved in the last book I read and that sounded much less terrifying. 😅

@shinyoukai@twtxt.net Sounds promising. 🤔 I’ll check it out!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Let me guess, thirty parties and one worse than the other? All the best of luck to you!

Aha, @david@daiwei.me was revealed to be hammering against @aelaraji@aelaraji.com’s door! :-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Haha 🤣 I’ve found the only effective defense is to make the request(s) cost you nothing or very little. Trying to defeat all this en-mass scraping/crawling and defective bots is such a PITA 🤦‍♂️

@david@daiwei.me sorry you got caught in my 403 mess. My tiny tin box is being hammered at by some BS AI bot for a ~week now, so I might have gone a bit too defensive with my WAF & Co. 🤭 I’ll investigate in the morning.

@david@daiwei.me @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, no issues. Only @bmallred@staystrong.run’s feed is broken for me for some time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heard them in a video. Here’s the last one: What did the duck detective say to his partner?

echo SSBob3BlIHdlIHF1YWNrIHRoaXMgY2FzZS4K | base64 -d

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, I see. I should start working from my bed. ;-)

Never tried Gentoo. Maybe something to look into.

@david@daiwei.me Works for me. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bwahahaha, brilliant! :-D

Fuck me dead, I never expected a slingshot to be this powerful. :-O Absolutely cool. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hell no, I won’t feed you my hair!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, the partition stuff with disklabels is what I’m absolutely not used to. I need to invest more time learning this. Not just using it, but how and where is it represented on disk and all that.

I carry my notebook/netbook around a lot. 😅 Watching movies in bed, for example.

I think I’ll stick with NetBSD for a while. It works surprisingly well, it’s new stuff to explore, it’s fast, and then there’s this:

https://mastodon.sdf.org/@netbsd/112446618914747900

Gentoo (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy) might be another idea, but I’m afraid that the little netbook might be too slow for that? Or are there binary packages? No idea, it’s been ages since I touched this distro.

(Regarding Linux in general … we all know what Linus said. I’m not sure where this project is heading.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Where do all these come from?! 😂

Oh, I’d love to build a shed with you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool shit! I also just read your report on installing NetBSD. What a journey. So, you still need to know what you’re doing. But if you make it foolproof, the world invents a new idiot. :-)

I also use an ethernet cable everywhere. It’s just what I’m used to for decades and I don’t carry around my laptop in the house anyway. It stays on the desk.

So, next up FreeBSD? ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe, yeah. I will not try to find out. :-D

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Pretty good thanks! 😊 Went out last night to celebrate my birthday with my wife and my best mate and her wife. It was a lovely day/night out 👌 – How about you so far?

This was supposed to be a reply to @david@daiwei.me . It has been too long I forgot how to things properly 😅

Just some light Sunday afternoon entertainment: Printing from NetBSD on the dotmatrix printer by dumping data to /dev/ulpt0. The netbook doesn’t have a parallel port, so this must be done over USB. NetBSD.escp was created by a little custom ESC/P converter written in C. 🥳

https://movq.de/v/14b09c47a5/print-small.mp4

Video description:

Video begins with a view of the netbook’s screen: 3 windows are open, one of them showing the typical NetBSD logo to print, the other one shows the commands I ran in preparation:

magick /usr/X11R7/include/X11/pixmaps/NetBSD.xpm -depth 8 -alpha set /tmp/NetBSD.pam
./pam2escp /tmp/NetBSD.pam /tmp/NetBSD.escp

The other terminal shows a root shell with this command:

cat /tmp/NetBSD.escp >/dev/ulpt0

I hit Enter, the printer starts printing.

Camera pans to show the printer, an Oki ML 3390. Continuous paper. Once finished, I manually feed the paper a little bit to better show the result.

(If you turn up the volume enough, you can hear “Leaving” by “Chill Carrier” from 2008.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Rest assured, they will do it that way. It’s a stupid world. 🤣
