@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, that’s actually quite a bit. I didn’t expect that. You definitely have useful things. :-)

Exactly, I now also send links to my fork. :-D

@dce@hashnix.club Yeah, but I haven’t looked into this specific issue. I am very much anti-AI, but this particular thing might be human error. I don’t know.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, I’m sure they’ll keep hammering dead URLs for many years to come. These crawlers are 100% brain dead. And they don’t even need to be smarter, because they still grab valuable stuff left and right.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

How many tickets and merge requests did you get before moving to your own server?

Hm, these were probably some of the more active projects:

• https://github.com/vain/lariza/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aclosed
  
• https://github.com/vain/pdfPres/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aclosed
  
• https://github.com/vain/xiate/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aclosed
  

So it’s not a ton of stuff and there are many “issues” I opened myself, but it’s certainly more than these days.

Haven’t used git send-email even once. I definitely have to look into that soon. Wanted to do that for several years. I typically upload the patch to my server and send a link via IRC.

git send-email is good for sending patches to a mailing list (because then the individual patches can be discussed easily), but since those are dying out as well, it loses its appeal. If you want to send patches to a single person, just sending the link to your repo is far easier. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting, given that Vim Classic is specifically an AI-free fork of Vim.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I’m interested in your future bot stats as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just keep hammering against all those now 404s. But I hope I’m wrong.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Finally, your software is just perfect and finished by now, no need to report non-existing bugs or send in code changes. :-) How many tickets and merge requests did you get before moving to your own server?

I have to admit that I use git format-patch so rarely, I always have to pull it up from my shell history. Haven’t used git send-email even once. I definitely have to look into that soon. Wanted to do that for several years. I typically upload the patch to my server and send a link via IRC.

Maybe I was just very unlucky, but my experience is that you can perfectly ignore people and their work who only do it for the “fame”. It’s almost always been from inferior quality to say the least.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If only somebody had warned us! Luckily, no TV in this household. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh dear, that’s cute. 😃

Why is there no English version of this interesting ZIP code article!? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/H0H_0H0 (Canadians know that this is Santa’s postal code.) https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/our-company/write-letter-to-santa.page

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks. 😅 Yeah, I already found it slightly annoying myself. Let’s see how the bots respond to the new situation. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmmm, I have no idea how to solve that problem. 😅 Some jenny stuff aside, I received zero bug reports or code contributions since leaving GitHub in 2018.

I thought I had made that super easy, because you can just send me an email – no sign-up process, nothing. But that’s way too old-school, people don’t know how to use git format-patch (let alone git send-email) and they also don’t understand that they can just send me a link to their forked Git repo (which can be hosted anywhere). Git is super flexible and powerful, but those features are hardly ever used.

Maybe people even need some kind “reward”, or “fame”. Like those “achievements” that you can unlock on GitHub. (Something to put in their CV … ?)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Works good. I fully get and support your reasoning behind that change. There’s only one downside. Quickly looking at some code snippets in the browser helps me to quickly judge whether it’s worth to clone a repo or not. Oh well. :-) After all I know that movqware always is.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Luckily, I’m not an autist. If you walk next to a busy road or airport, I totally get the annoying noises. I’d plug my ears, too. But I meant in the woods where there are almost only nature sounds. Maybe they miss the jackhammers etc. :-D

@david@daiwei.me Hell yeah, let’s finally reintroduce the big predators! :-D

@david@daiwei.me OH no ! 😟 My wife caught COVID some weeks ago, then we got sick again with a cold, it was awful 😢

Oh god 🤣 I mean I had this idea to re-invent “Git hosting”, but failed. Maybe I’ll try it again. I dunno. The thing is I hardly get “Issues” really, only when I ask nicely, of folks I know every well 🤣 So think at much “smaller scale” we need a different solution, and I think @movq@www.uninformativ.de is on to something, but not to the extend implemented, somewhere in the middle I think? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Bah you 🤣 Do you know how hard™ it is to write a compier, a self-hosted compiler that has two runtime engines? 😅

After many months of hard™ work, I’ve finally been able to get Mu (µ) lang to a point where the duplication of machine code / assembly between the ARM64/AMD64 and Mach-O and ELF formats are not all eliminated. This now means that writing a new backend target os/arch for Mu is now relatively simple to do, or far less duplicated work/effort.

@david@daiwei.me Thanks, and affirmative. The cats are Bowie, Bugsy, Emperor Maximilian (Max), and Shadow. The dogs are the Princesses, Astrid and Peaches.

‘Tis a zoo, sometimes.

Since I missed another #Caturday, I thought I’d introduce the 6th (and most recently arrived) mammalian quadruped with whom we share living space, a young lady known as The Princess Astrid.

She’s technically our grandpuppy (being our daughter’s “daughter”), but we considered the pibbles to be sisters, and they truly do love each other.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for that. I’d been hearing about this in the context of browser plugins turning computers into residential proxies for web scrapers, but I hadn’t considered that a TV could be used the same way. ☹️

Are you aware of the Residential Proxy pest?

https://spur.us/blog/smart-tv-apps-residential-proxy-sdks

This explains the access patterns that I see in my logs.

It’s funny, because I used to warn years ago that this might happen, and then I lost track of this topic. Now here we are and it’s a real issue. 🤦‍♀️

@prologic@twtxt.net Which is? 😅

Okay, so this is live now under https://movq.de/git/. („Kurzen Prozess gemacht.“)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org A small portion of people might do the headphone thing because of autism or sensory issues, to isolate them from annoying noises. I used to do that myself. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmmm you’ve given me an idea 🧐

Okay, so, my website also includes my code / git repos, and those are made browsable by stagit. What I don’t like about this (these days) is that this includes all the diffs of my commits. In other words: All my code.

This makes it super easy for malicious crawlers to slurp up valuable data. I don’t like that.

I’m thinking about switching to this instead:

https://movq.de/git2/

It still shows project infos and there are Atom feeds, but to get the code, you have to actually clone the repos.

🤔

(If you spot any bugs, let me know.)

@david@daiwei.me I first thought that this is a real lake, but it’s just a lake of craziness. :-D A town owned by a company (or so it reads to me), that’s insane.

Let me send you some nice 17°C.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, great documentary. I was reading up on Orcas a few months ago. Zoos are really problematic.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Noice 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net yes! ~24 hrs ago!

(1) Why The Ocean’s Top Predator Refuses to Hunt Us - YouTube

– The first half of this documentary is amazing! 😮 – The remaining half however is sad and depressing, making me never want to visit another zoo again 😢

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh good was that the in app nudge?

@david@daiwei.me @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, I wish it was for work. I’d usually abstain from going if don’t get to choose either the location, or the company. But, both? HEeeeeLL No!! 😆

@david@daiwei.me We could say the same about the England - France game, right? 😆

Does this seem right to you so far @david@daiwei.me ? 🤔

Ta, @david@daiwei.me, much appreciated.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I didn’t expect anything like that. But yeah, makes perfect sense. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I was wondering for an embarrassingly long time why my NAS wouldn’t boot. (The main power supply switch was turn off.) 🤪

Sunset few days ago:

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, no, you’re off the hook this time. :-D It’s totally my fault.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Den Lärm haben sie gut rausgefiltert. Ist mir jedenfalls nicht negativ aufgefallen. Oder es war einfach zu interessant. Tauschen möcht ich aber mit Dir echt nicht. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now I’m curious what happened.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bwahahaha, absolut großartig! :‘-D

We strolled up our backyard mountain. Visibility wasn’t the best, despite the rain we got yesterday. Oh well, scenery was really beautiful, though.

I found it super funny that we almost overtook a jogger before she turned off to another path right in front of us (yeah, we’ve got a smart pace, but this girl was slow as a snail).

Das Gegenteil von Erbse ist Verdiense.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Das ertrag’ ich wahrscheinlich nur auf Mute. Scheiß Lärm. 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh ok! I was just wondering and curious whether it was a bug that I’ve caused anywhere along the way 🧐

@dce@hashnix.club I see, ta!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Let me join the Enterprise Ruined It For Me Club. :-D
