@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I saw the original fine, but your reply (and mine!) show disconnected here. Hmm, “the plot thickens!” :-D Thanks!

@bender@twtxt.net there you go, it shows just fine on the souris instance

@bender@twtxt.net Can’t you see this twt ??

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz toally forgiven, and welcome back! :-) What’s new? Tell us all about it!

(#a23wqyq) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com I am missing the root for this twtxt. What was it? Hmm, referring to https://twtxt.net/twt/g5sjnlq.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you have no idea what a soul sucking, heartbreaking SOB 2025 turned out to be. I wish you the best of luck with whatever annoyances life might have thrown your way. Power to you, my friend.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Welcome back. 👋 (It’s a bit quiet here in general. 🤔)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks. 😅 Quite a few of them waddle around at the pond in our village. But those two individuals were seen in a nearby zoo. They’re not zoo animals, they just live there. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck yeah, these are some brilliant shots! Where did you spot the goose and moorhen?

Bird photos of the day:

• Egyptian Goose
  
• Common Moorhen (half asleep)
  
• Rock Dove

I wanted to port this to Rust as an excercise, but they still have no random number generator in the core library: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/130703

That’s the code, it’s surprisingly simple: https://movq.de/v/81dd5649be/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Only 10% of the German population had Internet access in 1998: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Deutschland#/media/Datei:Diagramm_Internetnutzer_in_Deutschland.svg I guess I was lucky in that regard.

(If today’s tech wasn’t constantly trying to track and scam you, I might still be an early adopter.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! The final desk looks like it’s right out of Skyrim. 😃

Having some fun with SIRDS this morning.

Speaking of fantastic and inspiring things, Epic Upcycling makes a wonderful desk from pallet wood and scrap metal: https://youtu.be/hY1-5PtJPo8 So relaxing to watch. I wanna make one so bad, too. I guess I start with the plane rack, though.

Fuck me, this is soooo bloody amazing! :-) I absolutely love watching the iterations on Primitive Technology’s belt and pully blower: https://youtu.be/1799Rqn71A8 It’s just so dang cool and really inspiring. This wants me do something similar so hard. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting, didn’t know that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very rarely does it happen. Yup, the clouds are to praise for today’s spectacle. Surpringly, the pink is fairly close to how it actually looked in person. I was pleased to see that. The neon orange in front of the grayish sky was way cooler, though. I wish I could close the aperture on my camera in the hope of capturing the insane color. Oh well.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oooooh, never seen that before. 😲 Either white-balance doing funny stuff or unusual “filtering” through those clouds. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t even know about the internet back then. Might have been just around that time we got our very first second-hand computer.

Woooaaah, the sun just was a crazy orange disk in the sky. Looked super amazing. Unfortunately, on the photo it was just white. But then it turned pink when it reappeared below the clouds: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-06-07/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ctrl-U in Vim does something similar (“Delete all entered characters before the cursor in the current line”), but it does not put them into the “clipboard”. I sometimes hit Ctrl-U by accident and then my text is gone. 😡😂

Current toy project: an image feed generated by mk(1). Still some edges to clean up but it’s nice: http://a.9srv.net/img/_readme.html

A bill from our ISP in 1998.

We’re talking about a month here, 1998-07-27 to 1998-08-26.

Basic fee: 7.50 DM (about 6€ today).

Online time: 516 minutes, 23.53 DM (about 20€ today).

That’s just the ISP costs, if I’m not mistaken. The underlying phone calls were pretty pricey as well.

Just as a little courtesy call (is that the right term?): 2025 continues to be annoying and exhausting, and I won’t really have the energy to work on twtxt/Yarn or texudus. Other than the occasional retrocomputing thingy (which gives a nice boost of nostalgia), I’m not doing much of anything lately.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL. I barely use my mother tongue. 😫

SuSE Linux 6.4 and Arachne on DOS also work (with Windows 2000 as a call target):

Aha! So, @bender@twtxt.net added all the Spanish feeds then!? ]:->

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bwahahaha, exactly! :-D

@bender@twtxt.net Hm, I was just surprised to see so many non-english feeds in there. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Like this? 😅

Aha! https://tiswww.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rluserman.html#Readline-Killing-Commands

Ha, I just learned that deleting text in my zsh with Ctrl+U to the front or Ctrl+K to the end puts it in a buffer that can be pasted by pressing Ctrl+Y! That’s neat. Even removing the last word with Ctrl+W moves it into this paste buffer.

I guess I have to implement pasting in tt as well.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh, you bet someone is adding them. Being as we are a small community, I could almost guess who added what. 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I never did anything remotely like this. I might have to look into it some day. It might be a good topic for a Do What You Want Day.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately. :‘-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve absolutely no idea how they’re poured in. I bet it must be some automatic thing. At least I cannot imagine that any sane person would ever add such junk to a list.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Where do they come from, anyway? Are they somehow auto-discovered or is this a curated list?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I don’t do a lot of CSS and tried to use flexboxes recently, couldn’t find a great explanation. I somehow managed to get the desired effect, but am I using them correctly? Who knows.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I cannot / could not imagine that, either – but if it’s publicly available on the internet and something links to it, they’ll eventually find, scrape it, use it. ☹️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh it wouldn’t be very long, maybe that’d make for a fun blog post! i just used the same tool that the nerd font people use to add glyphs, but for a “custom glyph set” i just added. the whole noto font LMAO

@bender@twtxt.net Muting on a domain level would be an option.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That sounds fun! I’m happy to read an article on how you did that. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am so tempted to agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to manage that without having to mute the bejesus out of them.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hear you! I’d also love to forbid any use in military software (development). Even though I cannot imagine anything of my stuff ending up there.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org HES SOOOO CUTE
