And here some photos of the crazy kitchen we had at our glamping trip. Of course, it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay oversize. It’s typically used to feed several hundred people, not just only 70ish. Although it was really fun to work in, cleaning the whole thing took an entire day. We completely underestimated this.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Great photos!

The well sounds really cool, but I’ve always been a physics geek (ex: putting coins down those spinny funnels they used to have in the malls for collecting donations). I would have probably spent hours just there!

Thanks for sharing these.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am very interested, but I need to setup a docker-capable machine first (I’ve always kinda shied away from using docker as it adds an extra layer of complexity to projects). I’ve got a couple of raspberry pis floating around the house, let me see what I can put together.

Something felt definitely wrong, I got up much earlier during the camp than when I have to work. Typically, I woke up beween 6 and 7 because I really had to go to the loo. There was almost always somebody already awake from the kitchen teammates or leaders. So, I always decided to not return to bed. When I was the very first one, I turned on the coffee machine and water kettle to the delight of the others and five minutes later, another person arrived at the kitchen. As a bonus, we sometimes got to enjoy the sunrises, like this one: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-07-morgensonne/

We visited the Jurassic Museum at the Willibalds Castle in Eichstätt. As always, taking photos indoors is almost impossible with the low lighting and reflexions everywhere. We had a great and entertaining tour guide walk us through for an hour. Afterwards, we explored two, three hours on our own.

One of my most favorite things was to pour water down the 80 meters deep well. It took something like 10-12 seconds before we heard the splash. But before that, we weren’t able to see the falling drops anymore. Crazy cool. :-)

The wind was blowing strong on the big tower. Hair were flowing horizontal. The museum had also small sections for the stone age, Romans & Celts as well as sea monkeys.

Another great sunset: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-02-abendhimmel/

Sunset on the first day the kids joined: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-08-31-abendhimmel/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fuck yeah, that’s fucking cool!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This looks so beautiful and is easy to read (I often find it hard to decipher).

I’ve been away with the scouts in our district summer camp. The nearly two weeks were absolutely amazing, mentally a great vacation. On the other hand, physically not so much. But I’ve still got Monday to recover from my holiday. :-)

Here’s a sunset from the setup before the kids arrived the next day: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-08-30-abendhimmel/

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Then by all means, follow the instructions at https://git.mills.io/prologic/parley and setup your own instance on your own domain. It’s partly inspired by Twtxt/Yarn.social and Salty.im – in at least the way teh DNS discovery and WKID works. Once your instance is up and running and you’ve gone through the /setup and created yourself an account (or seti it up with an appropraite ODIC IDP) try something like /msg james@mills.io Hey! at which point you should automatically start peering with my instance. You should then be able to /join #lobby1 (a globally federated channel already across 2 instances so far). 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure, thanks! I’m interested to see how it works (although I admit, I ever spent much time in IRC because I never knew anyone else who had much interest in using it).

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Not really no 🤣 Did you want to join us and setup your own instance and join the growing aprty? It’s turning out to be quie neat actually 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Amazing! Do you ever sleep? 😄

I have (finally) built a fully e2e working purely decentralised and federated IRC-compatible chat server. It is currently a PoC, but it’s already working quite well. It’s inspired partly by the work we did with Salty Chat in terms of Discovery and Federation. Some screenshots of a normal IRC client irssi showing off how it works in a local e2e setup:

I recently installed Quake on my laptop (via vkQuake), and have really been enjoying playing it again.

When I was at University, we had a lab full of shiny new Windows NT 4.0 workstations that we immediately installed it on, and spent many a late evening fragging each other.

But tonight, when I defeated Chthon for the first time, it occurred to me that I had never actually played the single player mode all the way though (not even the first episode). So now I’m 2 missions into Episode 2 with plans to finish it over the next week or so. #LifeGoals

For the curious, this is fully documented with roleplay Alice/Bob. I was going to test this with @david@daiwei.me but we both got busy, but now I’m on holidays from work for a month so 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

@david@daiwei.me Oh I did 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Must say I do kinda like the rounded design, passport screen ratio, the inner screen textured finish and the promised pencil support, making this a pocketable drawing tablet.

Obviously wouldn’t buy it, or any other foldable device, with these fragile plastic displays, lack of a headphone jack and thanks to iOS also too many software compromises.

Since earlier this year, I main a TCL phone, I got during a sale event, for under $150 and it really has pretty alright specs: 8GB RAM, recently updated to Android 16, 90Hz refresh rate, even the headphone jack, …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s becoming a bit ludicrous to be frankly honest. I’m not sure I can continue to justify these kinds of prices. But at the same time, I’ll probably stick with Apple regardless, even if I hate their exorbitant prices, and just buy their low-end stuff 🤦‍♂️ It is fucking crazy when you consider what these things are actually made for over in China or wherever they’re manufactured.

@prologic@twtxt.net Is simply not buying it an option? Or is there too much social pressure?

iPhone Duo - Apple Sorry Apple™, I’m really finding it quite hard to justify spending thousands of dollar on your products!

From $1999 or $83.29/mo. for 24 mo.*

Fark me 🤦‍♂️ When it was just me and my wife, maybe, fine, okay. But now I have two young children that also want the same shit™ as we do. This starts becoming a nearly ~$8k expensve just for some fucking whoop-ti-do-da foldable iPhone with a bigger screen.

Who cares? 🤔 I want my ~A$800 iPhone back that fits in my hand. #Apple #Rants #Expensive #Crap

Premature #FrakturFreitag. Had to practice the letter “F” and try a few variations.

😐

@prologic@twtxt.net And don’t think that it goes unappreciated. 😁

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Don’t worry, we’ll tell you rather loudly if your client is misbehaving or your feed is down 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is actually pretty cool! I like this one! ☝️

@prologic@twtxt.net @david@daiwei.me @movq@www.uninformativ.de No, I dig it - I absolutely love the slower pace here compared to even the Fediverse (and especially compared to corporate social media, which is always trying to sell something).

I did have a bit of a “down or just me” moment, thinking I might have broken my client (since it’s still WIP and it’s happened before), but beyond that, it was no worries. 🙂

I love David Revoy’s comics: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/069.html

@thecanine@twtxt.net I love it. %)

maximum nostalgia slop (themed SpaceHey profile + QMMP with a bad Winamp skin)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Yeah, time flies. My last post was Friday, almost a week ago … Sigh.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Ahh it gets like tha sometimes 😅 the Twixt ecosystem is on purpose, deliberately designed to be very slow at times 🤣

Wow, twtxt suddenly be all like…

While I was at Magic, my wife captured this photo of the princesses, Peaches and Astrid, resting together. Sadly, it didn’t last, and it was soon time to return to Crazytown, but for a brief, shining moment, there was peace and quiet.

⚠️ For anyone that signs up on Yarn.social’s multi-user twtd multi-tenant platform I’m runnign on twtpub.com – Be warned. I will delete your account if you create it for the soles purposes of link squatting, spam, link harvesting, seo marketing, or any other useless fucktarrd crap.

To the spammers and would-be assholes of the world: You have been wanred. Don’t abuse my generosity.

it’s all I ask

Trying to change my site a bit and needed a more cartoony sitting canine for it.

@david@daiwei.me No worries 😌

@david@daiwei.me ping me on IRC when you have a couple of spare hours 👌

@david@daiwei.me I think to @movq@www.uninformativ.de ’s point, we should probably just test teh specification itself no? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I plan to oj ly projects 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I kind of do need a couple of folk to test things with 👌– But i need to do some more testing myself first 😅

Not super happy with today’s result, but it is what it is. #FrakturFreitag

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm. I’d have to see this in action. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net That sounds amazing. I look forward to seeing it!

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com How about you? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Doing okay 👌 Looking forward to my month off!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh, no you can. Much like what we’ve built here with Twtxt / Yarn. I’m building a spec, clients can implement the spec, or you can ya know, just curl and git your way through. I’ll link the spec soon™, just need to keep refining and testing and make sure this actually works properly 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, so I can’t send you a patch / PR unless I host gitxt myself?

gitxt is a purely decentralised git forge. There is no federation protocol, no instance-to-instance API, no accounts on other people’s servers. Each forge instance is fully independent; collaboration is an act of publishing and reading plain text files over HTTP

@fossham@twtpub.com I honestly think the most unique and interesting thing about doing this at all is that it is in fact inspired directly by Twtxt / Yarn.social itself – That is to say, I am confident I can do this in such a way as to be “truly decentralised”, no inter-networking like ActivityPub, no centraised forges like Github or Codeberg. You run your instance, I run mine, we just are able to collaborate. Think exchanging patches over Email, just without all the hard-to-learn ways to do that (enough though it’s not hard for some of us, but still).
