is there someone (ideally not in the opposite timezone to me) who’d be willing to let me bother them with technical questions abt twtxtv2 and/or yarn’s inner workings? :3

@thecanine@twtxt.net I’d expect especially power users not to use the web frontend. Unfortunately, in order to submit MR reviews that’s very often just the only option.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Uuhh, a rooftop concert! That sounds sick. I first learned about this in Electric Callboy’s tour report. They played the same location last year.

Heck yeah, you managed to be in the front rows. :-) I never heard about Rilo Kiley before, but the two songs I just listened to are good. Something to relax to.

Unfortunately, it’s not as sharp as I’d like it to be: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-07/

i went to a rilo kiley concert the other day and it was so special to me… i teared up at some of the songs but when “a better son/daughter” came on, i full on cried. what an amazing experience.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this seems like a bit of an overkill, that would also harm modding and power users - who often need to see the exact implementation of new features and benefit from the ability to pull up the history of code changes, in their browser. Sure they could clone the repo and do that locally, but if it has dependencies, they’d also have to clone those, to see how those get updated and it’d soon be a mess.

new kamen rider is really good

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s cool!!! i didn’t know that :0

How about no longer using in-browser Git repo viewers? Make the AI bots do the work and actually clone the repo.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thanks! :-) I was reading the gakw manual when it started and caught up on the eels later. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Completely off-topic, I didn’t know that the English language picked up the German word “Ersatz”. Discovering things like that always brings me joy. It has some interesting other properties, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ersatz_good#Etymology

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz nooo my heart didn’t show up

That’s hot! Why Don’t Railroads Need Expansion Joints? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdj5-6t6QI8

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy shit, that’s insane! :-D I tried it, but i’m absolutely terrible at these type of games. I’m having trouble with the keys to move around. Maybe after ages I would pick it up and it becomes natural. I just was never a real gamer.

I will definitely try to read through the code, though! This looks sick. 8-)

i playing with custom iptv channels. ersatztv my beloved

so obsessed with this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WEX94Gro7Q

@movq@www.uninformativ.de lovely!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, beautiful!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz like it’s the shame that kills me the most but i just gotta get through it if i want a working server (and i really do!!!)

finally ordered a motherboard to replace the one i fried in my brand new server T__T it hurt but i had to do it, i put it off for literal months

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Despite you claim it to be pretty simple, rest assured, you’re still a wizard to me. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting, yes. I didn’t know that.

No AI being used is really great. However, the same clips shown over and over again and some images being mirrored was quite annoying to me. Also, there were some quite terrible computer animations and sometimes the narration and picture didn’t match at all. Talking about the medieval period and then showing an image from the 18th hundred or so. What the heck?

These production issues made me sceptical pretty much early on. So I quickly crosschecked Wikipedia. But it seems spot on from what I’ve read. Very good. Also, the narrator’s voice was really nice to listen to.

Eels are fascinating creatures. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! And I didn’t look out the window at all. Was watching eels. 😂

I missed the best part, this was at the end:

Well, that was fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxNq8zOEbM8

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! 🙏🏻

@bender@twtxt.net The person actually reached out to me. It’s all good. ✌️

They don’t want to miss anything you might write. And got to know it instantly! 😅

@dce@hashnix.club Oof, that’s surprising. I wouldn’t have expected that to be so slow. 😳😳😳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You might enjoy this one: https://github.com/TheMozg/awk-raycaster

Dear dev.alessandrocutolo.it, do you really need to fetch my twtxt feed every 20-30 seconds? 😅 Not that it’s posing a problem, but I feel like this could be optimized. For example, how about using the if-modified-since request header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/If-Modified-Since

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @dce@hashnix.club It’s pretty cool, I won’t argue that, but also really simple, to be completely honest. 😅 The BIOS already provides all you need to send data to the printer:

https://helppc.netcore2k.net/interrupt/bios-printer-services

The BIOS actually does provide a great deal of things, which, to me, was one of the most surprising learnings of this project (the project of writing a little 16-bit real-mode OS, that is). It often doesn’t feel like I was writing an operating system – it felt more like writing a normal program that just uses BIOS calls like we would use syscalls these days.

(I’ve also read a lot of warnings, like “don’t use the BIOS for this or that”. Mostly because it tends to be very slow.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woah, heck yeah, congratulations, mate!

Uuuuhhh, Children Of The Dark by Mono Inc. covered by Moyun and a whole band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2jyc-q7-rU Sounds absolutely amazing.

Good morning. Driving the dot matrix printer from my little real-mode toy OS. 🖨️

(This is just a wrapper around BIOS INT 17. I love it nonetheless. 😅)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s pretty!

Speaking of clouds, yesterday evening: https://movq.de/v/bafe89fd66/p.jpg

Right, now that I’m reading some comments: I was initially assuming that they would actually make it impossible for distros to provide a 32-bit build (intentionally or unintentionally). But maybe that’s not the case and distros can just continue to ship a 32-bit Firefox …

Is that really necessary? How hard is it to make a 32-bit build? 🤔 Honest question. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2025/09/05/firefox-32-bit-linux-support-to-end-in-2026/

@dce@hashnix.club Which Thinkpad specifically is this? “Late-2010s” doesn’t sound very old, to be honest, I wonder why OpenBSD is giving you so much trouble. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh no! 😱😱😱

@zvava@twtxt.net That’s a double-sided sword, I’d day. This also helps the bad guy kick out the rightful owner. Anyway. Happy hacking!

@dce@hashnix.club Apart from the crap produced in Redmond two decades ago, I only ever used and still happily use Linux, mainly Debian and Ubuntu. I’ve no idea, but maybe something in there catches your eye: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems (I know, what a silly recommendation.)

this is a nice song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEzs-fsWkCw

The chemtrails have fallen down!!1 https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-05/

i know yarn has a CLI client in yarnc but ngl i wish there was a TUI client. that’d be really fun

@zvava@twtxt.net real 😭

Wooaahh, my goodness, this is completely crazy! :-D https://gist.github.com/Keith-S-Thompson/6920347

i wish the mug didn’t run out of coffee

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m looking for an OS that runs better than Windows (🤮) and through which I can do basic stuff like read RSS feeds and browse geminispace; but which I can also learn from.
