I now own a guitar again.
Switching between my upright bass and that thing is a wild ride. The difference in string gauges is so massive. š„“ Feels like trying to play on an egg slicer.

@prologic@twtxt.net I might have to look into this thing. But at first glimpse it looks rather complicated and doesnāt look like a simple replacement in my chain.
Again, YT keeps on deploying broken shit. >:-( Excerpt from my cronjob error feed: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/404.png
We had 11Ā°C and a lot of wind today. I left the house at beautiful sunshine to go into the woods. I had to shelter from the rain under a coniferous tree right away for 10-15 minutes or so.
Many puddles had plenty of spawn in them. Some of the super tiny tadpoles already hatched. Unfortunately, none of them will probably make it, because all those puddles will all dry up in the next one or two months I reckon. Letās hope for the best, though.
A bird landed in the trees about 30 meters away from me and it appeared to be a larger one, like a buzzard. Only at home at the screen I then saw that it was just a pidgeon. :-)
A bit later, there was a chaffinch happily singing and picking on the forest road. I could close in to about five meters before it flew half a meter further and continued. So I made a few steps, too. That game continued for over five minutes, before it then decided to relocate four meters higher onto a branch to let me pass by beneath. Pretty cool!
Rainy day.
I was toying with OS/2 when I noticed that my hard disk was getting a bit full. Iām not aware that something like ncdu
or just du
exists in OS/2 Warp 4ās base system (Iām sure thereās software like that already available, but I was too lazy to search), so I quickly cobbled a little program together that sums up directory sizes. And there you have it, an installation of Carmageddon was lurking on the disk, weighing in at 200 MB. š„“
Being able to cross-compile this from Linux still blows my mind.
Anyway, hereās my tool: https://uninformativ.de/git/dusage
Letās see, this might be a good opportunity to make an OS/2 GUI version of this. š¤ Iāve never done that and this might be doable (unlike other stuff Iāve recently tried).
17Ā°C today and I finally managed to go on a hike again. My thighs are a little bit sore. Sun didnāt cooperate too well with my camera, but the sunset was all the more beautiful for it.
it is an addon in the download tool. Or you can use xcaddy to build it in.
and you can even mount it on windows/linux/os x!
More basement:
I completely forgot that DVD-RAM was a thing once. Found my old disks and they still work. š¤Æ The data on them is from 2008, so theyāre not that old. Still impressive.
The disks are two-sided. On the photo, that particular side of the disk on the left appears to be completely unused. š¤
And then I read on Wikipedia that DVD-RAMs arenāt produced anymore at all today. Huh.
(I refuse to tag this as āretrocomputingā. Read/write DVDs that you can use just like a harddisk, thanks to UDF, are still ānew and fancyā in my book. š)
I was so hyped when I found this box in the basement! š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ
Only to find out, that ā¦
ā¦ itās something else. š
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Very nice! š
Also made a webfinger lookup resolver that works with my own webfinger endpoint as well as yarnd servers:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de is gaining on me!
I am temporarily back from the dead to share:
just testing. assuming text entered in brackets appears as alt text description
Interesting, it looks a little better for me, but itās a bit slow and laggy.
Iāve tried to stay away from hosting email servers myself. Itās really hard. But Iāve thought about a project which uses something like mailgun or SES, but then I create a ui and restful server over the top of it. But, prioritiesā¦.
hi @prologic@twtxt.net , did something happen to the AP sync from twtxt.net ? My ālast tootsā seen on mastodon seem quite outdatedā¦
Exactly 10 years ago Kokoriās first release on vinyl was out - and we celebrated with a release party in one of the afternoons of the Entremuralhas festival.
Ten years later, weāre back attending the festival, and this time we see one of the stands selling our latest release, rootkit, on CD! ā”
I hate reading translations. Hereās an example why: the same passage of the English and the Portuguese translation of the same (French) book. Not just the length of the passage shows one of the translations wasnāt faithful, the behavior of the character in one version is the opposite than how he behaves on the other versionā¦
Got a nice hand this weekend!
