In-reply-to » I'm in an article in Quanta Magazine! It's about the bizarre world of algorithms that re-use memory that's already full. https://www.quantamagazine.org/catalytic-computing-taps-the-full-power-of-a-full-hard-drive-20250218/ I'm the one with all the snow in the background.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Oh, that’s neat! Interesting how “obviously” isn’t all that obvious at all, even to the contrary. I reckon I have to read up on that subject on the weekend. :-)

I like how Ian’s and your photo complement each other, winter and summer join forces for something special. :-)

On a vu The Brutalist hier soir. Je suis trĂšs surpris de ne voir aucun commentaire nulle part sur la toute fin du film, la derniĂšre image, presque subliminale. Elle rĂ©sonne pourtant si fort avec la derniĂšre phrase du film, l’interrogatoire du dĂ©but, la photo de l’entracte et bien d’autres Ă©lĂ©ments
 Peut-ĂȘtre que je me trompe #cine #film

In-reply-to » View from my window last evening:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The light pollution map reports red for my town. That’s fairly accurate, I’d say. The view from home is not all that great. Yeah, I can see Ursa Major and a bunch of other stars. Maybe even some satellites. But there’s definitely a sky glow at the horizon.

When I leave town, I can see a bit more. However, it doesn’t compare to the alps or even some rural parts in Australia. The latter was by far the craziest I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like a space telescope photo in person. Soooooooooooooo many stars and the band of the milky way was easily visible to the naked eye. Up until then, I didn’t even know this was remotely possible down on earth. Absolutely stunning. :-)

In-reply-to » I’ve made it a habit to always put on my noise cancelling headphones when going to bed (without music). It’s pure heaven. 😂 Silence and darkness. I fall asleep within minutes. 😂 Good night. 😮

Yeah, @bender@twtxt.net, I absolutely love it! :-D Monty Python just rocks!

This very knight inspired me to make myself a knight helmet with opening visor out of an old washing machine sheet metal years ago for a theater play. It was really great fun, both making the helmet as well as using it during the week in the play as a silly and shady prince who got all his tracts of land by winning dubious games.

I just couldn’t really hear very well in it. And if somebody hit me on the head or just slightly knocked on the helmet, it was incredibly loud. No fine craftmanship by any means and obviously historically extremely questionable at best, but it did the job well enough. One of the running gags was that I had to open the visor when I wanted to talk. Here are some photos in action, you’ll find many more when surfing through the gallery:

In-reply-to » It needs to be said: Retrocomputing and old systems like DOS or OS/2 are fun and all, but a UNIX shell and its userland tools are the most powerful things I’ve ever seen. You can pry that from my cold dead hands. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I never used DOS or OS/2, but I fully agree with you. A Unix shell with its tool landscape is hard to beat (photo/video viewing/editing aside).

In-reply-to » Goodbye Blender, I guess? đŸ€”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mostly small and simple stuff, like cable management, headphone rests, pill dispensers (that I didn’t end up using), 
 The most elaborate thing I made was that contraption for my keyboard, which is a bit hard to explain right now, so here’s some photos:


I didn’t end up using that, either. đŸ„Ž

In general, I print very little. So little that some of my supplies have simply gone bad, like that “3D LAC” (sprayable glue).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, I saw that when googling the issue. I’m on Linux, there are no DLLs to swap. I could use an older version indeed. đŸ€” Let’s see if I can find some better alternative first. (Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)

In-reply-to » It’s been so rainy and windy and cold these last few days, I hardly left the house. đŸ˜©

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yesterday, it was relatively nice at 11°C or so. Very windy and completely gray, though. Today, the sun was out at roughly just 5°C. The colors glowed much more in reality than in the photos: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2024-11-20/

I finally changed the broken gear shift bowden cable of my bicycle in a longer lunch break.

So, I’m forced to use WhatsApp now. Someone told me: “Hey, I’ve been doing $thing, check my status!” Okay, fine, I open that and it shows a photo.

Then, while looking at that photo, it’s suddenly gone. No, not gone – there are several photos and it switched automatically to the next one. The timeout appears to be four seconds.

JFC, I’m getting too old for this. Let me look at the damn photo! Don’t rush me! 😂
