@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz woodworking is completely down @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ally. You could really say that he was born with a saw in his hands. Or an axe, I don’t remember.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de a first edition signed Superman comic book, carefully folded just to fit, but not damaged enough to have lost its value?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oooh that’s a good point! woodworking is scary and i don’t have much room for it but i do have SOME room in mind that could work for it… i feel like i’d just hurt myself in the process though LOL

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s cool. Also, looks like a fun woodworking project in case you exceed the hundred slots. :-) The plywood lap joints might be quite repetetive, but gang cutting them with a story stick or some other fixture shouldn’t be too terrible.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Their gold teeth collection? ;-)

What do you think I just learned about in this awesome Computerphile video with Matt Godbolt called “Subroutines in Low Level Code”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1su3lAh-k4o

Here’s the plot twist, the phrase “till the cows come home”. Hahaha, I never heard this before, but I love it! It’s always interesting to me to hear English sayings. Sometimes we have the same in German, sometimes – like in this case – entirely different ones. It’s fascinating that even though one hasn’t come across proverbs, it’s typically still clear from the context what’s meant.

Yep, some unexpected language stuff. ;-)

i got a shelf for all my cassette tapes! from a lovely person on facebook marketplace :] i don’t think they produce these anymore, i think i got a good deal

Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! That seems to be much easier. It’s already implemented in the Python docs as examples of recvmsg(…) and sendmsg(…):

• https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.socket.recvmsg
  
• https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.socket.sendmsg
  

I looked at them sooo many times in order to figure out why my SCM_CREDENTIALS sending code didn’t work. :-D

Sometimes things go wrong when buying CDs second-hand. I bought an album quite cheap – but as it turned out, they only checked the cover, not the content, so I got something else instead which is actually much more expensive. 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly. 😂 (Texudus.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! Next up: Passing file descriptors over Unix sockets. 😃

AMERIPOPE

Yesterday, I had a look at Unix domain sockets and how to obtain the caller information: https://lyse.isobeef.org/caller-information-via-unix-domain-sockets/

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ahh I see ! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net ah that’s alright! the banner is just for fun :] it might be easier to skip to the comments with this link if you want (it’s in the site view mode rather than my page’s theme) https://luckyzukky.dreamwidth.org/98451.html?style=site#comments

Love all the funky colors though 😎

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You’ll have to forgive me 🙏 My vision impairment is getting in the way of seeing this “prompt box” thingy 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, the post is here! you can check the comments to see my friends and i talking and stuff it’s so fun https://luckyzukky.dreamwidth.org/98451.html

Or is it Textadus (hmm not sure I can even spell it 😱) now? 🤔

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Hah 😅 Just like how we ‘all just talk about Twtxt right? 🤣

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

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Look into using something like pyrra for creating and managing SLO(s) with Prometheus 👌 I use this myself actually, plus I also use HetrixTools for external monitoring with SLO-style measures via status.mills.io 👌

i started a little thing on my dreamwidth and called it a flash prompt box. basically it’s a limited time thing where people can prompt me for stuff i’m offering, like short fanfiction, photoshop-edited user icons, music recs, and a bit more! i’m having sooo much fun with it so far it’s been a blast just making stuff for friends :)

also more friends are making their own posts with the same concept which is SO cool to see

new blog post: how i organized my obsidian vault for writing and made it super cool and awesome! https://bubblegum.girlonthemoon.xyz/articles/13

@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)

@bender@twtxt.net Me too! She’s awesome 🙌

Move beyond basic threshold alerts! Define clear Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and measure Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to track real user impact. Use Prometheus to alert when your SLOs are at risk, ensuring you focus on what truly matters to your users. #Monitoring #SRE #Prometheus

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’d recommend alerting off of Prometheus 👌

@xuu@txt.sour.is Cool! I’ll have to give it a watch 👌

@xuu@txt.sour.is a Star Wars series, eh? Never been a fan. I am Trekkie instead; it comes across as more science fiction, less fantasy. Still, I would see it if only we had Disney+. 😩

grafana is confusing af i deployed it again for my job (that is so wild to say…) and i’m like HOW DO THESE ALERTS WORK

Watched the third installment of Andor for last night. That was some intense story telling. When it finished I was shaking from how much it had brought me into it all. Just wow.

@prologic@twtxt.net I read a little about her. Looks to be a good fit for the seat she is holding. I hope she gets to keep it.

Really hoping Elizabeth Watson Brown wins and hold her seat here in Ryan 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Deal!

@bender@twtxt.net LMAOOO ty bender!!! everything i do is vibes alone

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz if I haven’t said it before, please allow me to say it now: I kinda like your attitude. Heck, I love it!

@prologic@twtxt.net no clue whenever my servers crash i never know why i just wing it

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Any idea why?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yes, it’s bad, but it’s the message what’s important. Now, if you want, I can give you a different perspective on the site, so that you will not see it as horrible anymore. And I will do for only $199.99. A bargain!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh yeah, this is a great article! The site looks quite horrible, but tastes are different. :-)

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:

What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.

My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:

• Some blog post in various browsers
  
• Git repo viewer (stagit)
  
• Older photos of WfW 3.11
  

It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.

The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)

(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I LOVE THIS POST LOL

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahaha! They sure have a point. There is always the next, shinny bandwagon to jump into.

https://alex.party/posts/2025-05-05-the-future-of-web-development-is-ai-get-on-or-get-left-behind/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’s thankfully sorted out now but i literally turned on my PC and was like WTF IS GOING ON

@bender@twtxt.net kinda sorta, it’s in a docker container so not a VM but like VM-ish?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz are you running Grafana in a separate physical machine (or VM) than the one you are pulling metrics from?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh dear, what a way to start the day! :-(
