Falls sich hier noch jemand fragte, was genau mein Humor ist:

Das Gegenteil von Erbse ist Verdiense.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Das ertrag’ ich wahrscheinlich nur auf Mute. Scheiß Lärm. 🤣

Note to self: If you turn something off, this means it is not on.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Stimmt, das hatte ich völlig vergessen. Gab da mal diese Zeit, in der „Forenbeiträge“ die Pest waren. 🤔 Da ist sie also wieder, die rosarote Nostalgiebrille. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com “Enterprise” Java ruins everything, eh? 😅 I only did that very briefly, luckily.

Das jüngste Posting im Shell und Programmieren-Forum bei ubuntuusers.de ist jetzt 1.5 Monate alt. 😢

Was hab’ ich dieses Forum früher geliebt. Aber das Medium ist einfach tot, niemand ist mehr an so einem Austausch interessiert …

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It reads a lot nicer, yeah. And you can do oink.my_property += 1 as well, for example.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Good question, I don’t know yet if the standard library has been extended a lot. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net No. After the cutoff-date, hashes are expected to be v2. End of story.

(In jenny, a twt can only ever have one thing that can be used for threading.)

I trip over this in our code at work all the time.

Python has this concept of “properties”:

class Oink:
    def __init__(self):
        self._foo = 3

    @property
    def my_property(self):
        return self._foo


a = Oink()
print(a.my_property)

my_property() is a method but it can be used as if it were a field.

This can also be used to define a setter:

class Oink:
    def __init__(self):
        self._foo = 3

    @property
    def my_property(self):
        return self._foo

    @my_property.setter
    def my_property(self, value):
        self._foo = 123 * value

Because, for some reason, Python people don’t like getters and setters. Instead, they hide it behind a property.

The result is, when you read this:

a.my_property = 5
print(a.my_property)

You have no idea that this actually calls a method.

@david@daiwei.me The stuff in parens is lost on yarnd:

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, Oracle is a Dumpster Fire, that’s true. 🫤

Does yarnd still support the old “threading”? Let’s see.

I really think I should go back to Java.

Writing programs in Python is so exhausting. I want a compiler and I want static typing. No, linters and type checkers and IDEs are not good enough. Compilers catch way more errors in advance.

Rust is also exhausting. They’re constantly adding language features and, at the same time, the runtime library remains tiny and you need 3rd party libraries for everything. Many of those are still at version 0.x (SemVer!) and you can’t rely on anything. Often times, you need the latest Rust nightly compiler.

Go is … I don’t like it. And huge binaries.

I like C as a language, but it’s too fragile. I want to have a proper HashMap every now and then.

None of the above have good GUI libraries, at least not on Linux.

And then there’s Java. This is my fractal renderer that I wrote over 17 years ago:

https://movq.de/v/fcd3c4e557/vid-1784121825.mp4

It’s fast. It has a GUI with custom widgets and those weren’t even hard to make. It still works without changing a single line of code. The source code files have timestamps from 2009 and I just noticed that the JAR file I’m using in the video was compiled in 2010.

Java as a language is relatively easy to learn and to master. There are few surprises. The source code organization with packages is good. Java API docs are clear and well written.

The JVM ramp-up times have improved considerably:

https://movq.de/v/e7314e521e/vid-1784121998.mp4

This isn’t like the Dark Ages anymore. Might even be usable for some CLI tools.

The only thing where Java really sucks is anything close-ish to the kernel. Try issuing an ioctl() … I couldn’t have made my TUI framework in Java, but then again, I wouldn’t have needed to because Swing already exists and it just works.

@prologic@twtxt.net See, that’s what edit/delete is good for. 😅🤪

@david@daiwei.me That’s a good thing. I still use it heavily, but I also realize that it is addictive. This whole idea of getting likes and boosts is horrible. Seeing “number goes up” is inherently addictive design, if you ask me. This should never have been added to a Free Platform like Mastodon, and I’m glad that twtxt doesn’t have anything like it.

@david@daiwei.me 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, okay, the default being local means it only stores this stuff offline. So they claim. I don’t trust this and I don’t want to go anywhere near it.

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s from Gabe’s feed: https://gabesarcade.com/twtxt.txt

Yeah, lol, fuck off. Tried to reproduce that hashing issue, thus playing around with Go a little bit. And what did I find?

$ tree ~/.config/go
/home/user/.config/go
└── telemetry
    ├── local
    │   ├── asm@devel-devel-linux-amd64-2026-07-14.v1.count

4 directories, 6 files

It collects and uploads “telemetry” now.

No.

(Don’t tell me how I can turn that off. Not interested. This is a compiler and it wants to track me, without asking for consent. That’s a no-go.)

@david@daiwei.me It really is almost impossible to debug these hash issues. Only thing I can do is some trial-and-error, to see if I somehow end up at pmrf6ftxsdhr instead of ksou5aqw7w5a. So far, no luck. 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Welcome back 🥳

Back at 29-30 °C in my apartment. 🥳🙄

@david@daiwei.me This is another dangling thread:

Trying to fetch "#kyjhiwcxeknm" from Yarn pod https://txt.sour.is ...
Trying to fetch "#kyjhiwcxeknm" from Yarn pod https://twtxt.net ...
Twt could not be found

@david@daiwei.me The one with www is correct: https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt is the canonical URL used in the url = metadata field. (For historical reasons, it also works without www and even with http.)

@david@daiwei.me Ah, edits. Okay. Let’s hope that it’s all fixed then. 🤞

… this came off more snippy than I wanted it to. Sorry. 😅

Good morning. I’m seeing so many broken threads. You’re still investigating this, right?

@bender@twtxt.net All the other ones worked but this broke? What’s different here? To which twt hash should this be a reply? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Well, I don’t see any broken threads here. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net No idea. I can only tell you that the correct hash would have been rwzz277nkyju for this line:

[2026-07-11 14:47:17+00:00] [(#5bpwpdcjnhcz) <a href="https://we.loveprivacy.club/external?uri=https://daiwei.me/twtxt.txt">@david<em>@daiwei.me</em></a> (This thread is broken again on my end. Another bug or fix not released yet? 😅)]

(Guess I should have used my “find context” function. 🤪)

@bender@twtxt.net Ah, the first twts were from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fastidious/fastidious.github.com/master/twtxt.txt, not https://daiwei.me/twtxt.txt. Fetching the GitHub feed completes the thread. 👍

@david@daiwei.me (This thread is broken again on my end. Another bug or fix not released yet? 😅)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But but but but but … is that legal?! 😂

Well, this looks good, I guess: 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net Let’s give it a shot! Test!

@bender@twtxt.net Speaking of drawers at the office … this is mine:

Looks a bit sad, eh? 🤣 (Or you could say: Minimalism!)

There you go: https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-07-10/0/POSTING-en.html

@bender@twtxt.net

Oh, crap! It’s only Thursday! I thought we had Friday already … nnnnooooooo, not another day. 😭

@bender@twtxt.net Ha, I remember these from our trip to Florida ~30 years ago:

(Yep, it was a rainy day. 😂)

Heh, that’s a cute story: https://www.osnews.com/story/145459/you-paid-me-a-long-time-linux-user-to-use-windows-11-exclusively-for-a-month-heres-how-it-went/

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com And sometimes …

(It’s an older meme but it checks out.)

@bender@twtxt.net Oh my god! 😅 That’s worth a small fortune on eBay. 🤣

I’m in the process of making a big page with photos and screenshots, and this is more stuff than I expected. 🫩

@arne@uplegger.eu You have Matrix at work? No Teams, Google Chat, Slack, Discord, whatever, but Matrix? Really? Where do you work, is this Socialist Russia?!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org How many people are still using XMPP? 🤔 I’d expect the number to just as low as IRC users? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Neither can I. 😱

However, I haven’t touched my favicon longer than that, lol:
