I have months of intense security compliance theater ahead of me and wish for a quick and painless death.
Just found a pleasant way to wade through meetings: listening to Puccini’s “La Bohème”. Glorious!
And this one with a GUI text editor xed just in case… lorem lipsum and stuff. it looks like this one didn’t get affected at all! Hmmmm… Maybe the environment variable is called VISUAL for a reason? 🤨 207 characters and counting…
Filler text for a different terminal to see if it’s going to be
differ… Nope! Still got the new line. 🫠
logs/blog: processing some feelings
We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didn’t hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!
I took advantage of the last sunny, but also 25°C hot day and hiked in the woods. It was so much more pleasant in the forest than out in the sun. The wind could have been a long stronger with that heat. I was completely soaked.
At one point I thought I better grab my camera out of my backpack, so whenever something comes up, I’m ready. But I was too lazy and thought, well, I just wait until there is a nice subject and keep going instead. No joke, ten meters further I came across two squirrels. A red and a brown one, sitting on a tree at just one and three meters height two meters away from me. If I only had unpacked my bloody cam a few seconds ago! I just watched them sit on the tree and then tried to slowly strip my backpack and grad the cam. It was still booting up when they decided it was enough sitting around and climbed higher. What a silly move on my end, damn.
I tried to improvise some Lyse Street View, but felt really uncomfortable to photograph other people’s houses. Somehow my cam produced sooo many blurred shots on the way up still away from the village, it’s unbelievable. I scrapped nearly the entire project. Only very few survived. There were heaps of people on the mountain summit, so I quickly left again.

Looking forward to next week’s rain and temperature drop to 16°C or even 8°C.
Hmm, three war helicopters clattered past today. It was (and still is) very sunny and there’s just a little wind. The 21°C sun on the back felt pleasant. In the forest we encountered two dead mice on the paths, they might have been dropped by birds. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-04-12/
Just a few minutes into my walk I saw a raven chopping up a slow worm in three parts. :-( I rescued the reptile as best as what you can call rescue in that state. Crazy how the the tail and middle part kept on twisting hard for minutes. I didn’t see where the raven went hiding, so I can only hope it did not reattack after the slow worm went its way and I left the scene.
The small forest pond was covered in pollen, looked like a liming truck went by. And the other one with the duck was really oily. Way more than last time. Didn’t look healthy at all. :-(
This is soooo cool! Matthias on some solar panning camera build and eclipse shenanigans, highly recommended: https://youtu.be/YLDaM0FcXC4
Is this for real?
According to this news piece, #Chechnya is placing a #ban on slow or fast music. And 120bpm is already too fast for them: all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute”.
I’m tempted to organize a to-be-banned music compilation now…

Microsoft’s new era of AI PCs will need a Copilot key, says Intel
Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and AMD have all been pushing the idea of an “AI PC” for months now as we head toward more AI-powered features in Windows. While we’re still waiting to hear the finer details from Microsoft on its big plans for AI in Windows, Intel has started sharing Microsoft’s requirements for OEMs to build an AI PC — and one of the main ones is that an AI PC must have Microsoft’s Copilot … ⌘ Read more
