@movq@www.uninformativ.de I had really hoped nobody asked this question since I forgot to take a photo of the plaque. In fact, I didn’t even look at it when I was in the museum! The ratite itself was just too fascinating. Fortunately, I was able to dig it up. It’s a Gastornis giganteus:

Happy Programmer’s Day! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer%27s_Day

Ta, @david@daiwei.me! Most of them are just cider apples, too sour to eat. But they sure look tasty. :-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Oh, another classic! :-)

Today’s short stroll into nature: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-12-waldspaziergang/ And we got a crazy sick sunset. Absolutely insane colors.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Thanks, mate! I’m glad you like them. Yeah, if we had more time to spare, I would have definitely gone back to the deep well to throw down a few coins or rocks. :-)

What was also extremely surprising to me: I’m heavily afraid of heights, but looking down this giant hole wasn’t a problem at all. Not a single bit. Neither with the light turned off nor on. I really don’t understand it. I should have absolutely shitted my pants. The only thing was that I was really, really holding onto my camera because I was afraid that I accidentally drop it into the well. But other than that, absolutely nothing. Very weird. But I take it.

When we arrived for the setup, the Düsseldorf youth group was dismantling their camp on the same spot that we had originally booked. But the camp site manager told us that we were the only group on the entire camp site, so we could select any spot, whatever we liked. That was really great, because originally we would have needed to transport all food 150-200 meters from the kitchen to our site. Hence, we just decided to set up in front of the kitchen. We still could just use the entire camp site for games, separate the heavy snorers from the rest, etc.

The only downside was that the sanitary facility was on the other end of the camp site. So, when taking a shower, going to the loo, washing the dishes, we had to always hike over the entire camp site. The kids and their leaders had to do their dishes themselves, this was a tent camp, not a hotel visit after all. Being a member of the kitchen team, we of course took advantage of the dishwashing machines, though. :-) In a traditional tent camp, the kitchen’s dishes are washed by the rotating dish/kitchen service. All children have to participate in that a few times.

On the second to last full day, some camp constructions were built. That spot was another ten minutes hike into the woods. Not sure why the that program wasn’t done right at the beginning but towards the end. That would have been a great playground throughout the camp.

And here some photos of the crazy kitchen we had at our glamping trip. Of course, it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay oversize. It’s typically used to feed several hundred people, not just only 70ish. Although it was really fun to work in, cleaning the whole thing took an entire day. We completely underestimated this.

Something felt definitely wrong, I got up much earlier during the camp than when I have to work. Typically, I woke up beween 6 and 7 because I really had to go to the loo. There was almost always somebody already awake from the kitchen teammates or leaders. So, I always decided to not return to bed. When I was the very first one, I turned on the coffee machine and water kettle to the delight of the others and five minutes later, another person arrived at the kitchen. As a bonus, we sometimes got to enjoy the sunrises, like this one: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-07-morgensonne/

We visited the Jurassic Museum at the Willibalds Castle in Eichstätt. As always, taking photos indoors is almost impossible with the low lighting and reflexions everywhere. We had a great and entertaining tour guide walk us through for an hour. Afterwards, we explored two, three hours on our own.

One of my most favorite things was to pour water down the 80 meters deep well. It took something like 10-12 seconds before we heard the splash. But before that, we weren’t able to see the falling drops anymore. Crazy cool. :-)

The wind was blowing strong on the big tower. Hair were flowing horizontal. The museum had also small sections for the stone age, Romans & Celts as well as sea monkeys.

Another great sunset: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-09-02-abendhimmel/

Sunset on the first day the kids joined: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-08-31-abendhimmel/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fuck yeah, that’s fucking cool!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This looks so beautiful and is easy to read (I often find it hard to decipher).

I’ve been away with the scouts in our district summer camp. The nearly two weeks were absolutely amazing, mentally a great vacation. On the other hand, physically not so much. But I’ve still got Monday to recover from my holiday. :-)

Here’s a sunset from the setup before the kids arrived the next day: https://lyse.isobeef.org/2026-08-30-abendhimmel/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Humidity was through the sky. We had two thunderstorms pass by. One at 06:00 and and another one this arvo.

Somebody hooked this presumably plastic moon on the tree bark. Not sure why or what the reason is. Let’s just call it art. It looked weird and so I thought that it might poke other people’s interests as well. Worked out great. Got another question about it, too. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Awwww, very pretty! :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Achtung, der Uplegger ist im Anmarsch! Dreht die Karten auf links! Entspannte Reise und gute Erholung! :-)

Today is a good day. I found both my hiking trousers and explosion-safe headlamp. Both were missing for ages.

Awful 33°C today. But I had to move, no matter what. So, I went outside. At first, the sun was out a bit. It was brutal. Later it vanished behind the clouds. But the humidity was still through the roof.

I watched the corn harvest I came across. Dusty as hell, but it was great fun observe the machineries work.

Going up my backyard mountain, there weren’t many people around. I was pleasantly surprised. However, the smaller hill below was rather crowded. Many people with picnic mats, enjoying their dinner, painting A3 love letters, claiming all available benches, taking wedding photos, walking their dogs, etc.

The public barbecue site at the summit is still closed due to the ongoing fire hazard. I found it rather funny to see a fire extinguisher ready to go next to it. The bread and cake smell disclosed that the Mountain Baking Boys were active. The large oven right next to the BBQ was still going strong.

Been to the Märklineum yesterday. They have a really cool railway installation, heaps of locomotives and rail carriages and all sorts of other old toys that Märklin manufactured over three floors on display. To noone’s surprise, my camera didn’t like the lighting conditions. These are the least horrible ones:

https://lyse.isobeef.org/maerklineum-2026-08-25/

Certainly worth a visit when you’re in the area.

Blodsvept and Vredesvävd are great as well.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Hahaha, a festival, indeed! :-D There was also “Raupenkrieg” (caterpillar war): jumping against each other in sleeping bags. I reckon that counts as pogo or mosh pit.

And back in the days, we had wonderful deep mud all around us, too! In extreme years we even needed to leave the camp ground for a day and walk to a gym with all the kids. There was just too much rain and the creek dangerously high.

We once had an actual creek running through the dining tent before the kids arrived. Luckily, it didn’t originate from the official creek, but the water came down the hillside. Unimaginable today with all these droughts in summer. Many creeks around here are dried up for several weeks, if not months now.

There you go, enjoy my favorite selection of yummy chocolate on the ground!

It was a question of the mindset. Once we supervisors just made the best out of it and tried to had fun, the kids typically didn’t mind the mess either. Besides building huts, one of the most favorite things ever was actually “Matschschöpfen” (scooping mud). The kids scooped puddles into wheel barrows using giant soup ladles from the kitchen. “Sorry kids, time is up for today. Whoever sits in the closing circle first gets to go first tomorrow.” Unfortunatly, I don’t find any photos from that.

So far, I totally approve of Nifelvind. Currently listening to Under Bergets Rot. What an absolute banger! <3

But now, my bed is calling.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I usually don’t listen to metal where the singers scream. There are only very, very few bands where I find that actually pleasing.

Two decades ago or so, we young supervisors compiled ourselves a cassette for our forest recreation week. One of us had an old ruggedly built radio with a cassette deck powered by a bunch of large Baby (?) batteries. One side had “working music” which we played back while working in the evenings and night, e.g. gathering firewood in a handtruck for the campfire and things like that.

I used something by either Finntroll or Turmion Kätilöt for the “wakeup music” side in the morning. The kids slept at home, but there were always some supervisors sleeping at the camp. The SÜT, the Standard-Übernachtungsteam, consisted of mostly young folks, about sixteen to early twenties. It was completed by wiser people in their fourties. Each morning, metal blasted through the dining tent that we converted into a sleeping tent. :-) Good times!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! Turns out there’s a reason I didn’t know this album. :-D

I also just noticed that I have a lot to catch up on. :-O Haven’t listened to anything of the last three albums. Boy, time flies! Ur Jordens Djup from 2007 is the last thing in my collection. How on earth…!?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I actually didn’t know that and just listened to it. There are a few nice songs, but in general, it’s too boring to me. I’m missing the rock and metal elements for sure. Some of the calm songs might work to relax in a sauna or so. But I find the “wind noise” rather annoying.

Yesterday, my mate and I left the house at 10 in the morning around 15 or 16°C. There was a steady wind blowing, the sun came and went every two minutes. The clouds looked really nice. Temperatures peaked at 21°C I reckon. Certainly great t-shirt weather. It was supposed to slightly rain at some point in the morning, but all we got was less than two hand full of drops and later the tiniest amount of drizzle for not even half a minute. So, nothing.

The weathermen also called for a cloudy arvo and partially sunny evening. The forecast must have scared off people right away, because there was noone around. We saw very dark clouds in the distance and there was certainly rain in the town. But out in nature, just a constant alternation between the sun and clouds.

Just before noon, we arrived at the bakery two villages over and got four fire brezels (with pepper, extremely tasty, but the fingers are an oily mess after that) and two nut sticky buns for provisions. This is where the small bird (19-23) was giving us a show.

It’s so dry, the landscape looks already like autumn for several weeks. Sooo many orange and brown leaves on the ground, it’s crazy. I hope we still get a real autumn and head not straight from summer into winter. Last weekend was still an awful 37°C.

This time, we paid the small entrence fee to walk around inside the ruin of Hohenrechberg Castle. The red sandstone looks super sick. I really dig it. It’s actually purplish at parts, no kidding. Absolutely unreal! At least for me, I normally only see the beige sandstone around here.

Right when we went down the castle ditch, both camera batteries were completely drained after just 880 photos in total. What a bummer. I saw a guy with a leather glove coming out of a door and immediately followed him to the aviary in the hopes of a show or something. That flight cage wasn’t there last time I visited the ruin. And we were lucky, the falconer fed his harris’ hawk and explained us along the way. Other families came and went, but we talked to him for at least 20 minutes. Super interesting. I think that was easily the best part.

At exactly 19 o’clock I unlocked the front door. Our feet were done. It was an amazing nine hours hike. :-)

The gallery is a tiny bit larger than usual, enjoy: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-die-burgruine-hohenrechberg-2026-08-22/

@arne@uplegger.eu Wohl bekomms!

@arne@uplegger.eu Auweia, was ein absoluter Saftladen. Unfassbar.

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Wurde dann doch noch ein wenig anstrengend gegen Ende hin. Für mal so zwischendurch geht’s. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fingers crossed!

At 8 o’clock, we had chilly 10°C. My mate and I dashed up our backyard mountain in just a tad under an hour. And that wasn’t the direct way. Our jumpers came off quick. It was really nice, because the sun was already warming and lighting up the landscape and everbody else still asleep. We had everything to our own.

Shortly after we were atop, the first two yoga women showed up with their mats. When we decended, a bunch more were on the way up. And then came the families with dogs and kids. Very glad to have missed all this hustle and bustle.

Now, I’m really tired. But it’s a great feeling of exhaustion. Two and a half hours later, we’re at 17°C. It’s supposed to hit an acceptable 23°C later on.

Unfortunately, no pics. I learned that charging via the docking station when the computer is turned off doesn’t do shit at all. Oh well.

@prologic@twtxt.net Now, you just gotta program it yourself. :-) Back in the days, my mates and I were playing Minetest, an open source variant thereof. Turns out it has been renamed: https://www.luanti.org/en/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I really thought you were playing the bass part, but this is just a picture of the CD cover. :‘-D I’ve got this in my collection as well. It’s good shit!

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ui, heiße Kostüme! Und klingt gar nicht schlecht. Je länger ich es anhör, desto besser gefällt es mir. Nur die „Ansagen“ und den „Gesang“ – oder was auch immer das Geschepper sein soll – bräucht es wirklich nicht.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice job, looking good! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de YOU SHALL NOT SCROLL!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, auch ne Idee! :-D Muss man nur aufpassen, dass das dann nicht das Ölkännchen für das Wahlbetrugsfeuer wird.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, even switching to Princess Garbage Disposal for real. :-O Sorry, mate, I really could not resit. ;-) Happy sp^Hummer cleaning!

@arne@uplegger.eu Dann müssten bloß noch die anderen auch so abstimmen. Viel Glück Euch, ihr werdet es brauchen.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The best thing, it’s not far from reality. :-)

Crazy sick colors tonight: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-08-20/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-05/0/POSTING-en.html Very interesting! I basically never analyze binary files, but this were some great thoughts on that subject. I hope to remember them when I find myself in the situation to look at binaries more closely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-16/0/POSTING-en.html, how often do you edit the first commit? A good mate does the same for at least a whole decade, probably more. I never found myself in this situation. Even though I mess with commits on a daily basis. Just never the first one so far. 8-)

Nice! https://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-commons-from-llms.html

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Turns out, it’s not a cool project. :-D

Can you build from source? Perhaps not if there is just a download link.

It’s been a hot minute since I last used alien to convert a Debian package into an RPM packge. Or was it the other way around? No clue.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ta!

@david@daiwei.me I noticed Boy Boy have a lot of gems. :-D

This cookie banner button uses “Abfall” in the German translation for probably “Reject” or “Configure”, I don’t know, simply left the site. This literally means waste, garbage, rubbish, trash. Spot on! :-D
