@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org SOOOOO PRETTY
Folks, another unicorn vomited in our sky tonight: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-07-19/
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz likeeee how cute is this
this is pretty cool, especially with a customized dmenu build:
@movq@www.uninformativ.de XML is so terrifying but kinda underrated tbh
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i wanna catch up on the twts!!!
Xfce does one thing very right: It stores its settings in plain-text XML files. This allows me to easily read, track, and maybe even distribute these settings to other machines.
(Unlike GNOMEâs dconf, which uses some binary file format. Fun fact: The older and now deprecated gconf also used XML files.)
ugh my TLâs once again doing the thing where it only shows like 5 twts
hi yarn friends omg iâve missed yall đđđ iâve been so depressedâŠ.
@bender@twtxt.net Yes! You guys have this thing called a â5th wheelerâ đ€Ł We (Aussies) just donât normally have big enough trucks to drag those âHouse on wheelsâ though đ
I think I understand now. Americans do not go camping, we do recreational activities. I donât think campers are a thing here, but RVs (Recreational Vehicles) are. Thatâs why it would never cross my mind to get anything with fabric, that folds. No mate, we get a house on wheels, with a million miles engine. đ€Ł
Other than that, it looks nice!
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Haha, nice! :-D I havenât come across this one before.
Discover the OPUS OP4 TLX: The Perfect off-road Camper for Families Kind of thinking about this now hmmm đ€
Nuke it from orbit: https://www.aaron.ai/
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the doctors have started using AI voice agents and they understand jack shit. đđđ
Referer
altogether. But maybe this helps talking to misconfigured HTTP servers that reject requests without such a header. No clue.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I know web server which reject request with Referrer header
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thatâs an interesting idea. For privacy, Iâd just omit the Referer
altogether. But maybe this helps talking to misconfigured HTTP servers that reject requests without such a header. No clue.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hm, I donât think so, the requested page was a Linux-specific post. đ€ I sometimes wonder if privacy-oriented browsers might do this on purpose, to create garbage data? đ€ No idea.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I honestly wish I could do more than just sit here and wait. Itâs just a matter of time until they remove X.Org from the repos. đ«€ But I really canât dedicate so much time to this âŠ
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I only know three letters: S (âŠ), O (â) and E (.). ;-)
@arne@uplegger.eu Das ist wie mit Kulis. Die verschwinden auch urplötzlich auf völlig unerklÀrliche Weise.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, you canât rely on them. Anybody could just transmit whatever they wanted. Bots and spammers abuse them all the time. But maybe some older version of that page actually referenced your site. :-?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de X.org forever!
I give up.
Letâs try again next year. I donât have the stamina. Death by a thousand paper cuts.
Canât set up a meaningful taskbar: https://github.com/labwc/labwc/discussions/2924 (This is not a labwc issue, itâs a generic issue in the broader Wayland ecosystem.)
HTTP referrers are quite broken, arenât they?
Because of that recent storm on my blog, I had a peek at them. Thereâs a lot of garbage in there. For example, https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks-virtual.html is supposed to refer to one of my blog posts âŠ
Whatâs going on here?
@bender@twtxt.net Even I donât believe in that anymore. :â(
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Donât remind me about Morse. I really wanted to learn that and tried so for quite a while, but no success. đą
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ja, eine kleine Inventur vorab kann auch nicht schaden. Der Bestand an Erdankern, Heringen und Gaskartuschen ist durch mich die Tage schon wieder aufgestockt worden.
Wo das Gas bleibt weiĂ ich. Warum die Befestigungen immer weniger werden, obwohl wir durchzĂ€hlen (!), ist mir unbekannt. Vielleicht sind wir im Zahlenraum von 1 bis 20 einfach nur noch sehr unsicher. đ€
@bender@twtxt.net Finally! Letâs wait and see how it turns out. :-D
@arne@uplegger.eu Au, Zelturlaub klingt klasse! Bei mir ist es auch bald so weit, freu mich schon. Dank der AusrĂŒstungsĂŒberprĂŒfung im Materiallager haben wir demletzt festgestellt, dass gleich zwei Spinnen (so Metallketten, an denen die JurtendĂ€cher hochgezogen werden) fehlen. Ein Probeaufbau â und sei es nur unter Laborbedingungen â lohnt sich in jedem Fall. Improvisieren zu können ist zwar von Vorteil, aber wenn es sich vermeiden lĂ€sst, fĂ€ngt der Urlaub gleich ein wenig entspannter an. :-)
This is it, boys and girls! The year of the Linux Desktop is this! I can smell it! :-D
For the first time, Linux has officially broken the 5% desktop market share barrier in the United States of America! Itâs a huge milestone for open-source and our fantastic Linux community.
Bald gehtâs in den Urlaub. Nach DĂ€nemark und auf die Insel Fehmarn. Alles mit dem neuen Zelt, welches wir dringen mal zum Probieren aufbauen sollten. đ€
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wait, I should post a picture of my old Walkman and a couple of cassette tapes to verify đ
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I also had to laugh when I saw that. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Donât forget about Morse Key Monday and Teletypewriter Tuesday.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com And I read the following funny response to that:
Bluesky: Users verify their age by adding a payment method or uploading a photo ID.
Mastodon: Users verify their age by posting pictures of the vintage computer equipment in their homes.
https://beige.party/@maxleibman/114848276288629121
đ
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Permaculture should do the trick đ
ROFL đ€Ł Iâve just read from someone on the Fedi, that Bluesky has started asking people for ID
AI this, AI that.
Tech is no longer interesting. I need to find a new field.
(⊠maybe followed by âtmux Thursdayâ to cool down âŠ)
Thinking about doing âWayland Wednesdayâ. Only use Wayland every Wednesday. Collect bugs, report bugs, fix bugs.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 06.jpg is quite funny. Block the road for 30 minutes! %)
@bender@twtxt.net Hm, it is now. đ€ I should have made a screenshot when I first saw it.
What a banger! I just came across the band Year Of The Goat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3FoOGp0jmc
I meant, the first line is the only one on the blockquote
.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is.
setpriv
on Linux supports Landlock.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thatâs really cool! I wanted to experiment with Landlock in tt as well. But other than just thinking about it, nothing really happened.
Depending on the available Landlock ABI version your kernel supports, you might even restrict connect(âŠ)
calls to ports 80, 443 and maybe whatever else has been configured in the subscription list.
A mate visted me and we went on a few hours long hike. We came across a mythical creature in its natural habitat:
setpriv
on Linux supports Landlock.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, itâs not a strong sandbox in jennyâs case, it could still read my SSH private key (in case of an exploit of some sort). But I still like it.
I think my main takeaway is this: Knowing that technologies like Landlock/pledge/unveil exist and knowing that they are very easy to use, will probably nudge me into writing software differently in the future.
jenny was never meant to be sandboxed, so it canât make great use of it. Future software might be different.
(And this is finally a strong argument for static linking.)
Looks like hereâs something wrong with Markdown parsing. đ€ The original twt looks like this:
>This extension was turned off because it is no longer supported
Thanks Google.
This browser was uninstalled because it absolutely sucks!
So only the first line should be a quote.
