@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.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz had to add an env variable to this pod’s configuration to increase the max media file size for this one LMAO
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is from the video for her song “oops!” – check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOV1vApNIuk
and when suzuki airi world domination comes, you can consider yourselves ready because i showed you this video ;)
@bender@twtxt.net Cool, the PDF doesn’t have the navigation links between each section, that’s indeed a tad nicer. Thanks!
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh dear, nobody needs bot attacks. :-( Luckily, the web server responding a hell lot quicker today than the last two days.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hihi ^^ i did that at first, but i personally i don’t like it when websites don’t let me change my password when i am already authenticated — fwiw you can view and log out other sessions, if that diminishes this attack vector at all
@eric@itsericwoodward.com Hmm, the images are all 404ing. Also, I reckon that lots of code blocks are broken, too.
@bender@twtxt.net thank youuuu bender i missed your fun posts!!!! yeah i have been INSANELY BUSY with fujocoded work (see those newsletter posts!) it’s been tough but i’ve been making my way through it 🫡🫡🫡
@dce@hashnix.club You should try los86! 8-)
Well, what are you trying to do on this ThinkPad? That might affect the OS choices.
I really had to laugh when I read your initial comparison. I love it! :-D
Listen missy, don’t you disappear on us like that again, do you hear me?! 😂 Welcome back, kat! I was wondering where you were, but figured something more interesting was keeping you busy. 🙈
i’ve been sooo obsessed with the second a-side from my favorite idol group’s latest single. it’s a super fun and energetic latin pop track — i highly recommend giving it a listen, it’s really catchy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RtbnP1onaM
@zvava@twtxt.net omg this is so cool!!!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org IIRC they’re getting attacked by bots on a huge level
also this is a really useful page!
HI GUYS IT HAS BEEN SO LONG I’VE MISSED YALL BUT I’VE BEEN SO FUCKING BUSY 😭😭😭😭😭 HOW’S EVERYONE DOING
I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it’s about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I’d like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try?
👓 “How to Make an Apostrophe in HTML: The Complete 2500 Word Guide” https://thelinuxcode.com/how-can-i-make-an-apostrophe-in-html/
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wouldn’t the PDF version be better? https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.pdf
Hmm, gnu.org is slow as heck. Shorter HTML pages load in about ten seconds. This complete AWK manual all in one large HTML page took a full minute: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html Is there maybe some anti AI shenanigans going on?
In any case, I find the user guide super interesting. My AWK skills are basically non-existent, so I finally decided to change that. This document is incredibly well written and makes it really fun to keep reading and learning. I’m very impressed. So far, I made it to section 1.6, happy to continue.
It was raining cats and dogs for a few minutes, I almost couldn’t see the houses down in the valley anymore. Pretty sick. :-)
@bender@twtxt.net Haha, yeah, we’re also better off rolling dice sometimes. I usually don’t mind liquid sunshine either. But I have to be prepared for it. As a matter of prudence, I brought my rain jacket along. In the end, I was wet from the inside as well, though. The breathability of this plastic bag isn’t as good as they always claim it to be. Especially in summer.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I couldn’t agree more! :-)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Weather’s great at the moment, isn’t it? I like it when it’s cloudy, dark, chilly. 😊
Ariadne explains some of the reasons behind this “Wayback” thingy (rootful X11 on Wayland):
They should put this in a FAQ on their website or something. The whole endeavor makes more sense when you look at it like this.
