@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Haha nice! 😊

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice contrasts really 👌

I had a looksie (just to be sure) at the database, and they were thankfully legit test events. But this did spark/trigger me to make sure I have some form of anti-spam measures in place. So I added some per-event / per-rsvp rate-limiting and honeypot(s).

Wow! 🤩 Are folks actually using Gatherly already? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That and no sane person writes Java™ anymore right? 🤣

Cool. I think I’ve improved this abit. Update going out shortly… Also added optional support for displaying gravatar(s) if you supply your email address (optional of course).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Also thanks mate! 🥰

In fact, it’s a great little invention

Actually. Looking at the template and the BeerCSS docs, I think I’m just using the wrong elements and doing the wrong thing in the template/partial structure itself 🤔 Probably need to wrap text in something else other than a plain ‘ol <p>

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org To be fair, I’m not convinced of the web design / user interface decisions either. I just hacked this together over a couple of days. I’m not sold on any of the UI/UX thus far. Open to suggestions, improvements, hell even a complete CSS rewrite 🤣 UI/UX nor CSS is my strong suite 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Go complain to the BeerCSS 🍻 developers 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What about gioui?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What about more modern alternatives based on GLFW?

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂 Timezonea are hard 😆

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Love it! 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org So you’ve RSVP’d then? 🤣

The hail we had yesterday 🤯

@bender@twtxt.net There’s a reason it’s in UTC time 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net LOl so much or building a RSPVP thinty™ ma bob 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net It certainly doesn’t here. I’ve even traced it’s network calls. it makes none.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess I wasn’t talking about the speed of interesting text/context, but more the “slowness” of these tools. I think I can build/ solutions and fix bugs faster most of the time? Hmmm 🤔 I think the only thing it’s able to do better than me is grasp large codebases and do pattern machines a bit better, mostly because we’re limited by the interfaces we have to use and in my ase being vision impaired doesn’t help :/

Hmmm 🧐 I’m annectodaly not convinced so-called “AI”(s) really save time™. – I have no proof though, I would need to do some concrete studies / numbers… – But, there is one benefit… It can save you from typing and from worsening RSI / Carpal Tunnel.

Should be rolling out soon™

Fixed following page template bug so cached feed counts render without errors. cc @bender@twtxt.net

@anth@a.9srv.net I’ve never seen my Mac do this? Hmmm 🤔

Okay I think it’s working now

Hmmm nope. I think I’ve fucked up my network for use with self-hsoted WebRTC. This isn’t a PeerCalls thing at all, this is just me.

See if that fixes it? hmmm

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh cool! Gatherly needs a “Maybe” for RSVP(s) :)

@bender@twtxt.net It used to work just fine™ - I wonder if it’s my WAF? Lemme turn the WAF off for this tie…

@bender@twtxt.net I think so. Have to retest it though :)

So just @bender@twtxt.net and I attending our monly call eh?

All that’s true! – However I am very competitive (usually with myself!)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think if I was younger, with more energy, and wasn’t blind with leber’s disease (look it up) I’d be fine™ But yeah I get the whole “exhausting” apart. I’ll join you this year, since there’s only 12 puzzles and as you say, we can “take our time” it might actually be fun! (as opposed to exhausting and pressured).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is actually a good positive change I think!

Personally, I’ll probably stretch it out over 24 days. Giving myself more time to solve each puzzle and I really want this event to last the entire month. 😅

I might even do AoC this year with the elevated stress/pressure! – The last few times I’ve tried, I’ve always felt far too much pressure and felt like a failure 😞 (mostly ya know because of my vision impairment, I couldn’t keep up!)

Reminder, kick-starting our monthly social call! 📞 Please RSVP if you can make it!

Hey all 👋 Starring up the monthly social call we used to have 🤞 Please RSVP here if you can make it! 🙏

Behold! 🥳 I consider Gatherly “good enough”™ to use: https://gatherly.mills.io/ 🤟

Like these Car Manufacturers, like GWM, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and whoever else does this stupid shit™ need to pull their heads out of their asse. :O

Obviously none of this requires an Internet connection, let alone a Network connection. All of it can be done over Bluetooth! Just like Carplay itself!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, this is similar to my 2025 GWM Cannon Ute (truck) that we recently bought. It has this app called the “GWM App” that lets you view various health/stats of the vehicle, open/close the door, locks, control the A/C etc, all from your Mobile Phone. – But… Guess what?! :D It has a goddamn fucking SIM card in the head unit (dash) somewhere that once you “consent” and agree it signs up to some god knows what local cellular service and all that wonderul functionality is controlled by, guess what… A fucking goddamn CLOUD service! da actual flying fuck is wrong with these people?! – Are we some of the only people in the world that realize how fucking dumb all this Internet-connect shit™ really is?

@thecanine@twtxt.net Pretry much🤣

Weird setup right? 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Too many things˚ running on AWS eh?

@bender@twtxt.net Sweet 🤟

Anyone interested in starting up the monthly social calls we used to have? 👋

Yeah technology is honestly quite garbage 🗑️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Speaking of “clusterfucks”. Every fucking time I try to type something on my fucking goddamn iPhone’s little tiny ass on-screen keyboard it ends up typing out “I love you!” 🤟 For fucks sake 🤦‍♂️ – Given the size of the fucking goddamn on-screen keyboards on these things and folks with limited/poor vision, can’t we figure out what I meant to type instead of spitting out total garbage nonsense that I had no intention of typing that makes me just look silly and stupid?! 🤬 Ask @bender@twtxt.net how many times this has happened on IRC whenever I’ve been on my phone 📱

@bender@twtxt.net Okay 👌

I disabled the compression of logs on my edge, which I’m hoping will fix the “instability” I see every now and again where my edge network just “falls off the face of the earth”. Some folks don’t really appreciate / understand this, but Disk I/O can kill your application(s) no matter what. I/O Wait is a real thing.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Haha 🤣 I’m already have “conversations” with my junior engineers on “how to best use” and “how to avoid” 😂
