@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I don’t axtually k ow what the incline was we went up! Haha 😅 Honestly just guessing hmm must be documented somewhere 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwwwwwww! I love these stripes, very cool!

Oh, I bet these inclines are no joke. I also know one about 200 meters long terribly steep dirt path up a hill around here. Climbing that is super exhausting. I just looked it up on a map. And it’s just ~17° or ~30% incline. Okay, that’s absolutely nothing compared to your adventure. :-D

But you got your exercises for the day then. Which will make for an even greater sleep tonight. ;-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, so that’s where you are! 😅 Great scenery. Enjoy!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com yeah, it is mostly a curiosity and not something one will do often. I first came across it a while ago, checked it for a few seconds, and moved on. :-D

@bender@twtxt.net Ah, great, thanks!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! Hers a few more!

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com Haha, that’s a nice one. I was alone, too.

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha! :-D

Thank you, @prologic@twtxt.net, that looks really stunning! Seeing forests reaching beyond the horizon always amazes me. This does not exist around here. I also like those balancing rocks.

Keep ‘em coming. Looking forward to see more. But most importantly, enjoy your trip, mate! :-)

@kiwu@twtxt.net Oh, they absolutely do! There were waterfalls coming out of my nose. Luckily, it got much better over time. So, there might be chances for you, too.

Just a couple of shots from our trip to Bald Rock—finally got reception so I can share them!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@movq@www.uninformativ.de never too late! Drop that bass, and start training future astronaut!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is from here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/, specifically: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/55187293546/in/dateposted/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I really don’t know anymore. 😅

By the way, why do so many of them wear glasses? As a kid, I’ve been told that people with glasses can’t become astronauts. So I gave up my dreams. Now it looks like that was a lie? ☹️

@bender@twtxt.net Good choices, thanks! ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, nice. :-) I first thought, that this maybe comes from https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/lunar-flyby/, but it’s actually from another gallery.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 1, 3, and 22 are my picks on this very reduced set. Our bird is King/Queen, and that stop on the roof is their spot! 🥰

@kiwu@twtxt.net ahh, I see, and now understand. My niece was homeschooled, and her breaks were always puzzling, but she had to adapt to my sister’s schedule. LOL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s impossible to avoid. Gotta wait a few years and then we’ll see. 🍵

@kiwu@twtxt.net that ought to be a super late spring break, wow! 🤯

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so adorable! Thank you for the video, I downloaded it. Azabache’s life is seemingly so pleasant, and the sing song, oh my! 🎶😍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org beautiful! That’s what I would call a happy bird. I can imagine the sound, the sing song, in the air!

@firekeeper@b0nfire.xyz That looks nice! With all the things popping up in spring, the scenery turns even prettier. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha!

The time has come again: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-04-06/ Only five minutes earlier, and Azabache’s backdrop would have been blood red. But the violet isn’t terrible, I take it. Didn’t think of the video, though. I’ll try my luck tomorrow.

@kiwu@twtxt.net what in the world?! Where? Long gone here (US).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org easy come, easy go. They grow so fast! :-) Also, Azabache allows to be seeing when ready for it, you know, just like Gandalf “*a wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to*”. :-D

@kiwu@twtxt.net meh, wish I could say I had a great day. What is worse, tomorrow is back at work again. There isn’t a single day I think: did we evolved, and when through all those troubles, to end up like this?!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. Thank you!

@bender@twtxt.net Haven’t seen Azabache yesterday. But I was probably not checking enough at the correct times.

@bender@twtxt.net 🤔

I’m so sorry. 🙈

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, quite a few good ones today! One thing about our friend, they are very, very consistent.

I just finished mowing the lawn, taking the trash out, and doing the dishes. Now tired, boss, dog tired.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. Unfortunately. :-( I tried to bring up the subject of dependency upgrade reviews a few times, but nobody else cared. We finally experienced a supply chain attack (luckily, didn’t turn out too horrible for us, could have been worse) and this got the discussion slowly rolling again. So, publication of this article is perfect timing. Let’s see. Admittedly, I don’t have high hopes. And I bet someone suggests to use AI agents…

Thank you, @bender@twtxt.net!

My mate and I took advantage of the public holiday and went on a hike. At first, the 14°C and only slight wind weren’t all that terrible, especially since there were only a few clouds. Later, the sun got covered more and more and also the wind picked up. I was really glad that I brought my jacket along. In the beginning I was contemplating about leaving it at home, but then still wore it and stripped it a few minutes into the trip. It was very windy at the summit, so for our second lunch break wearing it was an absolute must. It was a very beautiful trip and I enjoyed my mate’s company.

Finally, Azabache showed up, too. I didn’t bother videoing with all the wind. Didn’t feel like fixing the audio. Maybe tomorrow.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the lone, defiant ranger, err, Azabache. I love this one!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Indeed. Very unpopular, though. I’ve long given up that fight at work.

In reality, there are too few real incidents. It doesn’t hurt enough. It’s always: “Something could happen!” But we’ve never been hit big time by an attack like this … so I just look like a paranoid idiot.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org they are taking over! All hail our birds overlords!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Waaaahhhh, they’re coming closer to earth one kilometer every second!! They’re crashing right into us!

I didn’t know either that we send people to the moon again! :-O Cool. And bender witnessed this historic moment in person. Awesome! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Right now, Azabache’s daughter conquered the spot on the ridge.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com Doesn’t matter if I use w3m or elinks. No, just kidding. Firefox 115. See also #47fl5jq.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de with the current regime, everything is, to put it politely, rather odd, and in disarray. They have yesterday’s window, otherwise the next one was on the 12 of April, or something like that. We knew it was going up for a few days, but we are used to that kind of thing, so it is not that super exciting any more. LOL.

Yeah, I saw it in person.

@bender@twtxt.net You saw it in person, I suppose? I watched the stream last night. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pretty cool, thanks for sharing! We saw the rocket go up yesterday, but it didn’t occur to me to pull out the camera and take a shot until it was gone. I mean, the visible window is also quite short! 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s crazy! If you don’t mind me asking, what browser are you using when you see this?

@bender@twtxt.net Glad to hear it, I’ve neglected a Safari test thus far.

Thank you both for checking.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com That’s a nice collection. :-)

It made me look at my single frisbee, that was last used maybe 8 years ago, possibly more. I immediately found it in the drawer I thought it was in. And alongside some other stuff I was unsuccessfully hunting for for literally months by now. Thanks, mate! ;-)

Hopefully, my good headlamp also reveals itself at some point in time.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks for clarification. I already thought something along those lines. Wow, so, you can really mix different encodings in a single file, crazy. My Perl experience is limited to maybe 10, 20 or at the very most 30 written lines of code over the decades.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks, I’ll keep this in mind in case I’m ever around your neighborhood. ;-)

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org wow, it has been a while since I saw Fossil. I am surprised it is still around!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org For reasons I can’t fully explain, we have a bunch of courses in the area, most in public parks (they integrate nicely since they can be built with the existing landscape, only adding some yellow baskets, concrete starting pads, and maybe signs).

In my experience, the main difference between a disc golfer and a frisbee thrower is that the disc golfer will often have a bag full of different shapes of discs (including drivers of varying ranges and/or putters). Even in my small bag, I’ve got some long range drivers (a Beast, a Cheetah, a Valkyrie, and a Wraith), my aforementioned MRV (Mid-Range Vector), an ultralight Aero (which feels similar to a “standard” frisbee), and 2 “rubber” putters (softer plastic, less “bouncy”).

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, and you are correct: MRV stands for Mid-Range Vector (I think) as it is a stable mid-range driver (it says so on the disc):
