@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is why people like me can’t code this is boring eyes glazing over kinda stuff lol

@prologic@twtxt.net Nah, it’s really not necessary from my point of view. There’s not enough math here that would justify it. In the spirit of simplicity, I’d leave it off. O:-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The rabbit hole deepens. :-D

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Static angles for too long get indeed a bit boring to watch in my opinion, but just experiment with it. What’s the worst that could happen? Wasted disk space or people increase playback speed to time lapse or fast-forward. Hence, not a huge issue. Even if only you had fun recording it and learned something along the way, it’s already a win. Everything else is a bonus on top.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yiha! I reckon the video is a bit squished together on the horizontal axis. Maybe your video site messed something up in postprocessing? No idea. Anyway, you’re already better at guitar than I ever was.

If you don’t wanna buy a tripod, you could make yourself a makeshift one with some sort of a sandbag, cherry pit pillow or an old, cut off and sewn shut trouser leg section filled with rice, lentils, etc. This gives you a shapeable surface where you can simply rest the camcorder on. It allows for some limited vertical up and down pitch. Obviously, that won’t work for extreme angles, but might be just enough for your application of recording at your desk. You just have to watch out for the side to side roll, this could otherwise lead to a slanted sailboat video. ;-)

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt It is the same API that yarnc the command-line client uses.

Want this API for Goryon or just Goryon with support to just twtxt.txt. I can’t read timeline without visible replies and missing twts

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh gonna have to look into this, doubt most of my sites need it but i’m thinking one or two could use it

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz here it is :) https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=UyMOOoiOy

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’m an absolute sucker for all sorts of crafts videos, mostly wood and metal working, but also leather and construction. So obviously, your Tux sewing project would make a good video in my opinion. :-D (But I fear it would require way more work than just talking into the camera. Think of camera setup time with framing and focusing, repositioning a couple of times, editing, yada, yada, yada. I documented wood working build processes in my shop in the past and it made the projects take easily ten times as long, if not more. So, I stopped doing that.)

As kids we recorded some action films on magnetic tape camcorders. That was also great fun.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de Right!? :-) (In retrospect, must be later than elementary school, but still at least a decade old.)

Haaa! It was only now that I realized that gentoo is indeed a penguin species, I never knew that. Nice! I was always under the impression that the Gentoo distribution was simply named after an invented word. Well, I was so wrong. Thanks for teaching me. :-)

@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).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s so damn cool mate! I went through the code, but this lowlevel stuff is really not my favorite cup of tea. Having said that, it was actually really nice to see the abstractions and APIs work together and how things are getting indeed very readable in the userland programs. That’s easy to track in this extremely tiny OS implementation. Excellent work, keep on hacking!

Now, you just have to quickly add a network stack and then can write a twtxt client for it! ]:->

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s neat, good old $\sum_{i=1}^{9} i^3$ (let’s see if yarnd’s markdown parser has LaTeX support or not ;-)).

@bender@twtxt.net aw thank you so much!!! rambling is the best… just gotta keep on going about what we love and somehow people like it lol!

@bender@twtxt.net wow almost 6am damn!!! yeah i’m EST too :)

@prologic@twtxt.net oh it’s ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i’m having but i will figure it out!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWWWW OMG THAT’S SO CUTE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de REALLLL

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Only the schedule syntax. :-D

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @bender@twtxt.net Sweet, I wasn’t aware of that either.

Excellent, thank you very much @aelaraji@aelaraji.com! :-) It doesn’t set a custom User-Agent header, though.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Please do! :-) My brother made my penguin a Tux scarf one or the other decade ago when he was in probably elementary school: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/tux-scarf.jpg

@bender@twtxt.net :-D Unfortunately, there is not much white fluffy stuff on the ground at all: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2025-01-03/01.jpg (And my brain is broken, I’d like to change it. I first called the directory “2024-05-03”. O_o)

@bender@twtxt.net probably lol!

@prologic@twtxt.net nooo post away!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net fuck yeah!!!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz https://memoria.sayitditto.net/user/andjuly/

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz anyway when i get the memory stick i will record something silly and exclusive for yarn friends i can’t wait <3

@prologic@twtxt.net EVEN COOLER

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think what i love about “retro” (relative to me because i was born 2004) is that it has friction but in a different way than modern tech does. sure there’s friction with getting a video from your phone to a computer unless you’re a nerd like me with android and syncthing. but not only is that something that could be but isn’t easier, it’s just… it makes sense for a camcorder from ~2009 to have the kind of friction it does

@prologic@twtxt.net this is epic… you’ve made a great platform!!! screw big tech we got literal threads here. X, The Everything App, wishes it had literal yarn threads smh my head. also twtxt is so cool like i love that yarn is a frontend for it but also its own thing. all plaintext… coolest shit ever

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh i should’ve figured yeah!!! epic…

@prologic@twtxt.net 9am wow!!! 6pm here now :P

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah i had to do a custom caddy build for that once but then i reverted because i didn’t need it anymore (well i kinda do but for now i’m just manually doing it instead of wildcard certs/TLS on demand i’m lazy af). otherwise i love caddy

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net twtxt-el ?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org if i ever get to it i will absolutely post tux-in-progress pics!!! just a creature….

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’ve really wanted to make one of those sites you can curl that’s terminal friendly but looks different on the browser like how does wttr.in do it… magic

@prologic@twtxt.net YAYYY fuck cloudflare!!! caddy+wireguard amazing combo

@bender@twtxt.net I’m hoping my little one makes it that long; it’s possible! Unless some medical miracle occurs I’ll be long ago converted to dust by then.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, what’s this Emacs client you heard about?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately, there is no feed URL or nick in the User-Agent, it just consists of “xt/0.0.1”, that’s it. And this client was only active from mid-November until the end of the month.

It’ll probably remain a mystery, we’ll never know.

@arne@uplegger.eu Danke! Ui, sehr schön, das sind zweifelsohne hervorragende Upcycling-Projekte. :-) Ja, im Baumarkt Holz zu kaufen ist ziemlich teuer, erst recht, wenn man sich mal die Qualität genauer anschaut.

@prologic@twtxt.net Is it possible to interact with twtxt.net from outside? For example, an search API

@prologic@twtxt.net Yiha, that’s great news! Now you just have to migrate away from their DNS, too. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry if I don’t reply to you. I don’t have any mention notification system… at the moment… Thanks for the suggestion and for fix the error 😄

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ein Prachtstück hast du dir da gebaut! Bei mir werden aus den Stöckern Rankhilfen, Nivellierunterlagen, Insektenhotels, Untersetzer und und und. Im Baumarkt zahlt man dafür bis zu 2€, pah! :)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh nice, I’d love to see some progress photos. :-)
