@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net Blah blah blah AI opinion blah blah

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Bahahahahahahaha 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🙌😆🙌

@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Reach out to @movq@www.uninformativ.de 🤗

Thanks for your replies to my ‘Hello World’. Seems I can post but not reply myself. Using jenny, who isn’t as gentle as the name suggests ;-) I’ll figure it out.

My hike today started off with a nice great spotted woodpecker right after the town sign. The -1°C didn’t feel all that cold in the sun. Even on the flat, I had to open my jacket with the sun on my back. The biotope got dug over, that’s now looking really sad. And they also fell a few large chestnuts. Surprisingly, there was actually snow on the mountain. Not much, maybe around three centimeters at most. It was melting and falling down the trees, which looked really cool. I enjoyed it a lot: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-02-04/

@bender@twtxt.net Bwhahahahaaaahaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaa! :-D Oh man, my cheeks are hurting and eyes are watering. :-D I love it!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Yes! The first part about the history was my favorite. Not that the second one about finding life on Mars wasn’t interesting, no, not at all! But maybe it’s just that Earth is a bit more relatable. :-) I’m sure they will dig up something eventually.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Hahahahaa, this is truly brilliant! :-D The file descriptor slider is funny as heck! :-D

Hehe, this is amazing:

json feed is so cool i wish more readers supported it

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net yup.

@bender@twtxt.net So to be clear, you’re just hitting Reply that this is getting written into your feed? 🤔

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net pretty cool, thanks! (this is also a test; I used to follow you, I unfollowed to see how my reply mention shows).

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net right. I don’t follow you. I will restart following you once Yarn has fixed this problem. :-P

@bender@twtxt.net da hell? You somehow wrote this as:

$ bat https://twtxt.net/twt/mxszcva | jq -r '.text'
(#c4tigxa) @<twtxt.net https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Octal 31 = Decimal 25

in your feed? 🤔

@xuu@txt.sour.is 🤣🤣🤣

No-one happy with the price of coffee one day and it skyrocketing the next eh? 🤣

Well that didn’t take long 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Every base is base 10.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it. The beginning part about the history of life on Earth was fun to watch having just read Dawkin’s old book The Selfish Geene, and now I want to read more about archaea. The end of the talk about what might be going on on Mars made me a bit hopeful someone will find some good evidence.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The light pollution map reports red for my town. That’s fairly accurate, I’d say. The view from home is not all that great. Yeah, I can see Ursa Major and a bunch of other stars. Maybe even some satellites. But there’s definitely a sky glow at the horizon.

When I leave town, I can see a bit more. However, it doesn’t compare to the alps or even some rural parts in Australia. The latter was by far the craziest I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like a space telescope photo in person. Soooooooooooooo many stars and the band of the milky way was easily visible to the naked eye. Up until then, I didn’t even know this was remotely possible down on earth. Absolutely stunning. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, nice, an unexpected ISS visit! 😃 How bad is the light pollution in your area? I could imagine that you have rather clear skies. 🤔

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net Octal 31 = Decimal 25

It’s really cool how my local public library’s membership includes digital access to thousands of magazines and newspapers.

@terron@duque-terron.cat Soo cute 🥰

@jost.sdfeu.org@jost.sdfeu.org Hello! 👋

I have no ties to the US, EU or even the AU. Government overreach can bite me 🤣

@darch.dk@darch.dk You are welcome to use git.mills.io

@sorenpeter@darch.dk It depends on your requirements. If you just want to put your code somewhere for yourself, simply push it over SSH on a server and call it good. That’s what I do with lots of repos. If you want an additional web UI for read access for the public, cgit comes to mind (a mate uses that). Prologic runs Gitea, which offers heaps more functionality like merge requests.

That was a super interesting talk, I can recommend it: https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-microbes-vs-mars-a-hacker-s-guide-to-finding-alien-life

@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Hello jost!

So what are some good alternatives to GitHub, that are not based in USA?
I like the minimal feel of sourcehut but it seem you have to pay if you want your, not just submit patches to others repos. But they also got IRC bouncer and mailing-lists included. Codeberg also looks appealing being based in Germany.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Bahahahahaha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Go just moved back to second place. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! I would have missed the plane if you hadn’t pointed it out. :-) Venus is very visible these days. When a mate and I went on a night walk during clear sky this week, the night sky looked really great, it was easy to spot the second planet. We got lucky, ISS just passed above our heads, too. Most of the week, it was cloudy, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that’s a good one! :-D I came across this one before, but couldn’t remember the answer.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess u don’t get the relationship between Oct and Dec 🤣 Mist be an American thing? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net 31 (octal) is 25 (decimal). 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m afraid I’m too stupid (probably blind, which I am) to get it 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net It is, yep. 🌙

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m gonna give you a hint: Octal, decimal. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No sadly I didn’t 🤦‍♂️ I’m admitedly not very good at jokes like this (not even sure what style this is sorry!) 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahahaha 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow! That’s the moon the Venus right? 🤔
