@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz This sounds cool! 😎 Can you show me? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net noted! that all sounds very scary to me but i should lock in for the best experience for my users! (the best experience for my users is my server not crashing most of the time though so i guess the next best experience LOL)

@prologic@twtxt.net Sounds like art to me 😀

I am sure it wasn’t your intention (not even remotely), but it sounds a lot like corporate bullshit. Hahahaha! Are you sure you haven’t been institutionalised?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Indeed, a Wüstenmaus sounds cute. However, a Wüstenratte — which is more a desert rat — not so much.

@prologic@twtxt.net ODD, lol. I don’t wanna be rude, but this sounds more like Code And Fix.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You better push new code sooner!!

As @bender@twtxt.net says, that sounds like a bot. I’d just block the IP address, hoping it doesn’t change all the time. But then you know for sure that it’s the AI fuckwits.

Also, the devil in me thinks it’s funny to swap out the repo in question for something entirely different. :-D

Sounds like a good plan. When can we expect this; end of the month? :-P

hehe, just catching up on this thread! I’ve replied in another that using periods/dots sounds good to me as it’s usual in domains, but perhaps some agreement would be needed. For now I think any character is valid as long as it is not a space.
For example we are using this for PHP twtxt.php#L153

@bender@twtxt.net Hell yeah, that sounds like a good day!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com sounds like a panic attack to me 🤯

@bender@twtxt.net Sounds good to me! Done ✅ Also you did some, so thanks! 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net these sound so fun! i’m all for them

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, speaking of locally running “AI” stuff: Someone on Mastodon has this in their profile description:

My profile pic is AI modified to prevent deepfakes. I used local Stable Diffusion on my solar powered 7900XTX to average a few selfies.

That sounds like a fun thing to do. Do I have a chance of doing that on my old box from 2013 without a dedicated GPU? 😂

Notice how old all these people sound. They started playing this game like 10, 15, 20 years ago, most of them left, but some are still there. I love that level of commitment. 😃

Also interesting from a technical point of view. Creating that virtual world and keeping it running consistently for so long … 🤯

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Sounds like a lot of fun ! 😁 GOOD LUCK!

@prologic@twtxt.net best of luck!!! discover view having no limit sounds scary oh god lol

Whiskey developer throws in the towel, suggests to just buy CrossOver instead
Isaac Marovitz, the developer of Whiskey, a frontend for Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit and Wine, has decided to throw in the towel. The developer is advising users to buy CrossOver instead, which provides the same service. The reasoning behind their decision seems sound, and are actually quite noble and considerate.

I don’t think I’d personally be worried about migrating, just re-fetch. Sounds cleaner anyway?

I’m playing with ratterplatter again: It’s a toy that watches disk I/O and emulates the noise of a real hard disk. (Linux only.) It uses sound samples from one of my older disks.

I tried a different approach at estimating the disk activity and I think I finally got it right (after almost 10 years … 🤦).

Demo, booting a Windows 2000 VM: https://movq.de/v/1400544cc6/2kboot-ratterplatter-2.mp4

(For this purpose alone, I put a couple of mini speakers into my PC case, so that the noise comes from the right place: https://movq.de/v/a3b2dc0932/speakers.jpg)

The results aren’t too bad, but this thing can’t be super accurate due to the huge I/O caches that we have these days. For the video, I dropped the caches before booting Windows, otherwise you would have heard almost nothing.

FWIW, if you don’t know it yet, this is the equivalent for proper keyboard sound: https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @xuu@txt.sour.is That sounds like kat! :-)

Is there some Makefile shenanigans going on maybe? $V and $C being swallowed by the Makefile. I fell in that trap again the other day.

Hahaha, a bird is singing really load and it sounds almost exactly like a car alarm. Well, it’s probably the other way around, the car alarm was modeled after the birdcall. :-)

I always find the ‘Adven of code’ challenges difficult to follow.

@prologic@twtxt.net I created a script for your book. i have only done the first two chapters. have to do some adjustments to the text so it sounds ok and that takes time..

https://git.sour.is/xuu/piper

It’s been ages since the last time we’ve had as much and as frequent of a rainfall as we’ve been having this week. The smell, the sounds, the wind pushing against my body … are taking over my senses with joy, leaving no room for worry™ (about the possibility of a flood).

@xuu@txt.sour.is My layout looks like this:

• storage/
  
  • storage.go: defines a Storage interface
    
  • sqlite.go: implements the Storage interface
    
  • sqlite_test.go: originally had a function to set up a test storage to test the SQLite storage implementation itself: newRAMStorage(testing.T, $initialData) *Storage
    
• controller/
  
  • feeds.go: uses a Storage
    
  • feeds_test.go: here I wanted to reuse the newRAMStorage(…) function
    

I then tried to relocate the newRAMStorage(…) into a

• teststorage/
  
  • storage.go: moved here as NewRAMStorage(…)
    

so that I could just reuse it from both

• storage/
  
  • sqlite_test.go: uses testutils.NewRAMStorage(…)
    
• controller/
  
  • feeds_test.go: uses testutils.NewRamStorage(…)
    

But that results into an import cycle, because the teststorage package imports storage for storage.Storage and the storage package imports testutils for testutils.NewRAMStorage(…) in its test. I’m just screwed. For now, I duplicated it as newRAMStorage(…) in controller/feeds_test.go.

I could put NewRAMStorage(…) in storage/testutils.go, which could be guarded with //go:build testutils. With go test -tags testutils …, in storage/sqlite_test.go could just use NewRAMStorage(…) directly and similarly in controller/feeds_test.go I could call storage.NewRamStorage(…). But I don’t know if I would consider this really elegant.

The more I think about it, the more appealing it sounds. Because I could then also use other test-related stuff across packages without introducing other dedicated test packages. Build some assertions, converters, types etc. directly into the same package, maybe even make them methods of types.

If I went that route, I might do the opposite with the build tag and make it something like !prod instead of testing. Only when building the final binary, I would have to specify the tag to exclude all the non-prod stuff. Hmmm.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Sounds like a great idea! 👍

Hey everyone!

About the idea of improving the “thread” extension, what if we set aside March 2025 to gather proposals and thoughts from everyone? We could then vote on them at the end of the month to see if the change and migration are worth it.

The voting could include client maintainers (and maybe even users too). That way, we get a good mix of perspectives before taking a decision in a decent timelapse.

What do you think? If this sounds good, we can start agreeing on this. Let me know your thoughts!

@prologic@twtxt.net That boycott didn’t last very long, eh!?

Yeah, sounds like another hype train arriving at the station.

ok, sounds like a ‘large’ project to me.
Is it more an API (more oriented to developers), more oriented to UI/UX/Frontend? Perhaps both?

I’d go with prologic’s advice of measuring and prioritizing. Perhaps you have a budget or at least something like “let’s see how far can we reach in 6 months”, and possibly you won’t finish in the time you have (just guessing).

Something that has helped me was defining “Why do you we want to refactor this project?”.
Could it be to make it compile on newer versions, or making it easier to grow and scale, or perhaps they are trying to sell that product to another company. Every reason has a different path, IMO.

@prologic@twtxt.net In the EU there are Laws, Rules and Regulations for many things. I’m not an expert, but your case may sound like it could match to the EU Digital Services Act.

[…] for example, the obligation to establish points of contact for authorities and citizens […]

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, I don’t think so. But I just looked it up. And yes, that sounds a bit creepy. I certainly heard similar calls, maybe it even was a heron. I don’t know.
