in case anyone here has the impression that the girl in my icon is me, somehow, no it’s a k-pop girl her name is wonyoung and she is the prettiest girl alive

rose put crack in apt because jesus christ i just find myself mindlessly chanting “apateu apateu” under my breath at the most random times. some brain programming shit

i’ve been transitioning CLI text editors from nano (godforsaken editor) to micro (normal and not overly opinionated to the point where i feel like i’m defusing a bomb trying to learn its keybindings) and the only weird thing is that i can’t get it to persist an alias from nano to micro when i run sudo despite me configuring that. well at least on my servers, it persists on this machine. idk i’ll look at it later

posting from CLI just cuz i can lalalala i have nothing to talk about

i love posting to my own personal youtube site i can just do whatever tf i want. no content ID here just vibes and finger crossing that i don’t get a cease and desist one day

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz after some fighting with this janky software (that i still love despite the jank) we now have stupid tux as our logo. slayyy

changing my video site’s logo to this silly no thoughts head empty tux clip art. because i can. https://openclipart.org/detail/103855/tux-the-penguin

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh no good luck!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net we live in hell

went out with my family today, brought my camcorder, resulted in a little vlog :) https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=SjbDq15bL

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woah it’s like a cheatsheet with explanations! java is kind of arcane magic sorcery to me so i’m having trouble understanding it but i have that with most programming languages. this is like so much easier to actually look at and read instead of my eyes glazing over lol

@prologic@twtxt.net YEAH it’s so cool!!! i was thinking about trying it as sorta practice for golang lol

the windows CSS frameworks are sooo epic like you mean i can click a win aero button in my browser?!?! WITCHCRAFT!

morning yarn friends i’ve been playing with astro the SSG and it’s a blast i see why my friends love it and rec it to everyone. i may think javascript was a mistake but this is super cool

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s iconic af though like i should do the same bc i hate cloudflare that much i just refuse to use them

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh nah it came out like that lol! i actually love how squished it looks it feels accurate lol

oh yeah i think i might have a tripod around but i do need a sandbag or something i could use as one. maybe yeah a giant bag of rice could work LOL. thanks for the tips!!! i took a video class last year in college and we worked with cameras and tripods with sandbags so it was on my mind

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is why people like me can’t code this is boring eyes glazing over kinda stuff lol

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh gonna have to look into this, doubt most of my sites need it but i’m thinking one or two could use it

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz here it is :) https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=UyMOOoiOy

i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it’s just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it’s an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it’s capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn’t gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i’m ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i’ll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

@bender@twtxt.net aw thank you so much!!! rambling is the best… just gotta keep on going about what we love and somehow people like it lol!

@bender@twtxt.net wow almost 6am damn!!! yeah i’m EST too :)

need to come up with ideas for camcorder videos… i have one but it’s just ‘talk in front of camera about fave songs i listened to in 2024’ and i wanna do more fun things even though rambling in front of cam is already fun af

i want to make camcorder videos with this girl’s vibe she is insane https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg9isnie-qBpPIWx4ZQOnJw

good morning yarn friends! it’s noon here but i woke up an hour ago. much better compared to waking up at 4pm yesterday

@prologic@twtxt.net oh it’s ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i’m having but i will figure it out!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWWWW OMG THAT’S SO CUTE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de REALLLL

fighting for my life trying to learn golang WHAT THE FUCK IS A POINTER (rhetorical)

@bender@twtxt.net probably lol!

@prologic@twtxt.net nooo post away!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net fuck yeah!!!

help i’ve had this account for barely 2 days and i’m nearly at 100 posts

i am not a #gamer at all but i wanna play this it looks sooo cute https://studiopixel.sakura.ne.jp/keroblaster/index.html

my friend is getting into snh48 and its sister groups and it makes me miss being a fan but my oshi (shen mengyao) graduated so i don’t have any reason to follow them. but the thing about snh48 is that it’s a group full of messy toxic lesbians with mental problems so there is always some wild ass drama going on. you can never leave snh48 standom

i fucking love tux paint it’s so cute i wish i could draw

ladyflash by the go team is sooo good my friend just shared it and i’m obsessed already

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz https://memoria.sayitditto.net/user/andjuly/

my camcorder videos are gonna go so hard yall like i can post them exclusively to my own youtube site and just do whatever tf i want with it. i should make more vlogs

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz anyway when i get the memory stick i will record something silly and exclusive for yarn friends i can’t wait <3

@prologic@twtxt.net EVEN COOLER

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think what i love about “retro” (relative to me because i was born 2004) is that it has friction but in a different way than modern tech does. sure there’s friction with getting a video from your phone to a computer unless you’re a nerd like me with android and syncthing. but not only is that something that could be but isn’t easier, it’s just… it makes sense for a camcorder from ~2009 to have the kind of friction it does

my camcorder battery & mini dvds came in the mail so i did a test recording! it’s so cool i love the crap quality. i do hope the memory stick arrives soon though because for the discs i can’t get them on my computer (not even a rom drive filesystem mount) without “finalizing” the disc which is like an old camcorder thing. i still think i’ll prefer disc recording though even if a limit of 30 minutes (or longer for lower quality) is strict. i like limitations like that

@prologic@twtxt.net this is epic… you’ve made a great platform!!! screw big tech we got literal threads here. X, The Everything App, wishes it had literal yarn threads smh my head. also twtxt is so cool like i love that yarn is a frontend for it but also its own thing. all plaintext… coolest shit ever

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh i should’ve figured yeah!!! epic…

@prologic@twtxt.net 9am wow!!! 6pm here now :P

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah i had to do a custom caddy build for that once but then i reverted because i didn’t need it anymore (well i kinda do but for now i’m just manually doing it instead of wildcard certs/TLS on demand i’m lazy af). otherwise i love caddy
