@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I still have the movie in my archive. It’s a “TV capture” from 20 years ago, in German, super low resolution, noisy, … 🤪

Despite the shitty quality, the file is 1.1 GB large. Video codecs were really bad back then.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nattfödd was the last album I heard / bought. I liked Katla and Wilska as singers (saw them live with Wilska, that was a ton of fun), but then they switched again and the new guy wasn’t really my thing. Maybe I should check them again. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “Festival light”, huh? 😅

@fossham@twtpub.com I hope you enjoy it 😅 You might want to update your Avatar and Description at some point in your settings 👌

@thecanine@twtxt.net LOL 😂

Had no clue @prologic@twtxt.net has his own computer mouse brand now, straight up giving them away, for under $3 a piece.

I got one and well pleasantly surprised, especially for the price. It fits perfectly in the hand, decent rubber, weighs nothing, clicks very silently. The scroll wheel is where you can feel some of the cost cutting, it’s pretty wonky, but good enough.

Classic cheap thin long cable, you better like 1600 DPI, cause there’s no button to change that. Sensor is the usual red light, but works on all surfaces, bedsheets included. Gliders are small and not around the sensor, but at this weight, that makes next to no difference.

Decent 8/10 option

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🤘

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s still excellent, IMHO, and both very, very 90s and way ahead of its time. 🐦‍⬛

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I usually don’t listen to metal where the singers scream. There are only very, very few bands where I find that actually pleasing.

Two decades ago or so, we young supervisors compiled ourselves a cassette for our forest recreation week. One of us had an old ruggedly built radio with a cassette deck powered by a bunch of large Baby (?) batteries. One side had “working music” which we played back while working in the evenings and night, e.g. gathering firewood in a handtruck for the campfire and things like that.

I used something by either Finntroll or Turmion Kätilöt for the “wakeup music” side in the morning. The kids slept at home, but there were always some supervisors sleeping at the camp. The SÜT, the Standard-Übernachtungsteam, consisted of mostly young folks, about sixteen to early twenties. It was completed by wiser people in their fourties. Each morning, metal blasted through the dining tent that we converted into a sleeping tent. :-) Good times!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! Turns out there’s a reason I didn’t know this album. :-D

I also just noticed that I have a lot to catch up on. :-O Haven’t listened to anything of the last three albums. Boy, time flies! Ur Jordens Djup from 2007 is the last thing in my collection. How on earth…!?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I gotta re-watch that movie. Loved it back then. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Huh, didn’t expect that. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I actually didn’t know that and just listened to it. There are a few nice songs, but in general, it’s too boring to me. I’m missing the rock and metal elements for sure. Some of the calm songs might work to relax in a sauna or so. But I find the “wind noise” rather annoying.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I take it you also know their acoustic album “Visor om Slutet”? I love that one. 😍

@arne@uplegger.eu Wohl bekomms!

@arne@uplegger.eu Auweia, was ein absoluter Saftladen. Unfassbar.

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Wurde dann doch noch ein wenig anstrengend gegen Ende hin. Für mal so zwischendurch geht’s. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fingers crossed!

@arne@uplegger.eu @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Je öfter man die hört, desto besser werden’se. 🤣 Passt perfekt in den Zeitgeist, dieses Chaos. (Pardon, „Mikrotonalität“.)

Und handwerklich echt beeindruckend.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no, I haven’t really played anything in a couple of months. 😢

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But I wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. 😭

Let’s see how this goes: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2065883

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha 😆 Don’t temp me 😅

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I have the Atari800 emulator installed on my laptop along with a copy of the game.

But the easiest way to try it now is probably via the Internet Archive, which allows you to play it in the browser: https://archive.org/details/a8b_M.U.L.E._1983_Electronic_Arts_US

The manual is there, too: https://archive.org/download/agm_mule/mule_text.pdf

@prologic@twtxt.net Now, you just gotta program it yourself. :-) Back in the days, my mates and I were playing Minetest, an open source variant thereof. Turns out it has been renamed: https://www.luanti.org/en/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I really thought you were playing the bass part, but this is just a picture of the CD cover. :‘-D I’ve got this in my collection as well. It’s good shit!

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ui, heiße Kostüme! Und klingt gar nicht schlecht. Je länger ich es anhör, desto besser gefällt es mir. Nur die „Ansagen“ und den „Gesang“ – oder was auch immer das Geschepper sein soll – bräucht es wirklich nicht.

It just happened with twtxt.net as well! 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice job, looking good! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de YOU SHALL NOT SCROLL!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, auch ne Idee! :-D Muss man nur aufpassen, dass das dann nicht das Ölkännchen für das Wahlbetrugsfeuer wird.

@jastas@twtpub.com Out of curiosity, was it hard to figure that out, or just familiarity with the app? 🤔

@jastas@twtpub.com That’s me! 👋 Haha 😆 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@fossham@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌

@smmbear@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌 Just in case you are not ware a) spam is not really tolerated by this community and b) doesn’t work anyway, you’ll just be ignored, and there are exactly zero ways to promote spam or advertise on this social system – on purpose.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net That set is the set of users that actually interact with one another. The “Twtxt” feed set is a bit larger, but mostly just “walls of posts” and little to no inteaction. So yeah, the real community is quite small sadly 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Their stance makes absolute sense to me, given their stated objectives, and they make some really great points. Thanks for sharing that.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net What do you mean, it’s the most people we’ve ever had… since Jul 11, when the search site was relaunched. 😁

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s a clever idea - I had never considered adding an empty commit before, but I can see the value.

@arne@uplegger.eu They’re everywhere, send help

@arne@uplegger.eu Einfach so als Wahlergebnis verkünden. Dann denken die alle: „Ach, Mist, wie blöd, schon zu spät, na dann muss ich ja nicht mehr hin.“ Fertig. ✅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh yeah, going full Prinzessin Müllabfuhr! 🥳 👸

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, even switching to Princess Garbage Disposal for real. :-O Sorry, mate, I really could not resit. ;-) Happy sp^Hummer cleaning!

@arne@uplegger.eu Dann müssten bloß noch die anderen auch so abstimmen. Viel Glück Euch, ihr werdet es brauchen.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The best thing, it’s not far from reality. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I don’t do it that often, either. But when I do, I always wanted to have such a tool. :-) And since it turned out super easy to “implement” … Why not.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org These look extra great with redshift enabled. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Not that often – except for the last few months. 😅 I was reorganizing lots of repos, merging them, splitting them, changing author names, whatever. Having an empty root commit was super handy (if there was one).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-05/0/POSTING-en.html Very interesting! I basically never analyze binary files, but this were some great thoughts on that subject. I hope to remember them when I find myself in the situation to look at binaries more closely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-16/0/POSTING-en.html, how often do you edit the first commit? A good mate does the same for at least a whole decade, probably more. I never found myself in this situation. Even though I mess with commits on a daily basis. Just never the first one so far. 8-)
