@thecanine@twtxt.net I’d expect especially power users not to use the web frontend. Unfortunately, in order to submit MR reviews that’s very often just the only option.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Uuhh, a rooftop concert! That sounds sick. I first learned about this in Electric Callboy’s tour report. They played the same location last year.

Heck yeah, you managed to be in the front rows. :-) I never heard about Rilo Kiley before, but the two songs I just listened to are good. Something to relax to.

Unfortunately, it’s not as sharp as I’d like it to be: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-07/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thanks! :-) I was reading the gakw manual when it started and caught up on the eels later. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Completely off-topic, I didn’t know that the English language picked up the German word “Ersatz”. Discovering things like that always brings me joy. It has some interesting other properties, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ersatz_good#Etymology

That’s hot! Why Don’t Railroads Need Expansion Joints? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdj5-6t6QI8

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy shit, that’s insane! :-D I tried it, but i’m absolutely terrible at these type of games. I’m having trouble with the keys to move around. Maybe after ages I would pick it up and it becomes natural. I just was never a real gamer.

I will definitely try to read through the code, though! This looks sick. 8-)

@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. :-)

I missed the best part, this was at the end:

@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.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s pretty!

@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.)

The chemtrails have fallen down!!1 https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-05/

Wooaahh, my goodness, this is completely crazy! :-D https://gist.github.com/Keith-S-Thompson/6920347

@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.

@eric@itsericwoodward.com Hmm, the images are all 404ing. Also, I reckon that lots of code blocks are broken, too.

@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

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! :-)

Three weather services with three different forecasts. We got a little bit rained on, so at least some of them were not completely wrong. The timing was off by an hour, though. And nobody expected the Spanish inqui^W^Wthunder either. It was a nice walk.

Oh cool, as I type this, lighning and thunder very close by now. At most a kilometer away. Glad I’m home and not in the woods anymore. And heavy rain kicks in, too.

@zvava@twtxt.net Uuhh, that’s nice! And welcome to the twtxt world.

The password change might query the current password as well in order to make it difficult for attackers to change account passwords.

Fellow Gophers might find this interesting, too: https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/what-the-go-proxy-has-been-doing

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, nice read!

If I’m in the woods, I’d like to not waste my time with computers and focus on the beauty of nature. ;-) So, I’m not gonna participate in that event. But I’d read your articles on that subject anytime. :-)

@eric@itsericwoodward.com That’s cool, happy hacking! :-)

@ionores@twtxt.net Haven’t seen ‘em yet, unfortunately. But I will keep an eye out for them. :-)

Looks like it’s this time of the year again where we get beautiful sunsets more often: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-01/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now, you can automatically ban everybody requesting these old URLs.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Dunning-Kruger twice, also in the field of photography. :-D

Hahaha, how funny is that!? The Dunning-Kruger effect research was sparked off by two bank robbers who rubbed lemon juice in their faces as this makes them invisible, just like invisible ink. :‘-D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_Greater_Pittsburgh_bank_robberies

I now imagine all these AI wankers with lemon juice in their faces.

We had some minutes of cool lit clouds this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-08-30/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, great idea! :-D I never saw the Epson Image Scan logo before.

This is soooo bloody cool, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-08-30/0/POSTING-en.html

And the e-mail body says that @movq@www.uninformativ.de is leaving, too.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, ta! :-)

Hey @jost@jost.sdfeu.org, not sure if this reaches you, but your TLS server certificate expired two weeks ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Fuck them!

Not too shabby: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-08-28/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, that Model M has quite some oomph. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, that’s so cool! :-) Could you remove the cover to at least reduce the amount of scrolling around? But I bet any amount of scrolling is annoying.

This printer has quite some noise level to it. Or how bad is it really in person?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice picture, this hot air balloon has quite a large basket.

Yes, go for it! :-)

My grandpa went ballooning ages ago and liked it. The balloonist misjudged the height a bit and landed in an open-air pool. Well, not in the water, but on the sunbathing lawn just inside the fence. :-D After the ride, everybody was given a very long personal name that they had to memorize. Decades later, my grandpa still knew his assigned name.

The most important thing to know is that – in German – you don’t fly (fliegen) a ballon, but ride (fahren) it: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballonfahren#Fahren_oder_fliegen Judging by the English wikipedia article, this is not an English thing, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_ballooning

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, cool! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m in Standard Camp. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There haven’t been decent ones for a while.

Surprisingly, the sky got quite some lovely colors this evening. I approve! https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-08-21/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck yeah, have fun! :-) We never had a matrix printer, started off with a cathode ray tube and an inkjet pisser.

I’m happy to see you compose your first twtxt message using ed on your new output device. We definitely need video proof of that! ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, yeah. I never bothered with them.

We went out an hour earlier to escape the rain. But we got drizzled on, nevertheless. As expected, the rain jacket was finally wet on both the out- and inside. Sweating under that plasic layer is unavoidable with these temperatures. It was still a very nice walk and great vibe with the gray soup. Just right. :-)

Didn’t bring my camera, I guarantee that it would have gotten soaking wet.
