@movq@www.uninformativ.de You’re good, it’s POSIX-compliant. ;-) I also was taught $* first instead of "$@". Looks like a common thing. :-) Shell has just soooooo many quirks and inconsistencies, it is quite hard to master it. But we’ll never get rid of it.

@evil_bob@codemadness.org Very cool! I have something similar: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/gelbariab/-/blob/master/rss-proxys/youtubeuploadsfeed.py

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh! :-D It’s exactly what it looks like, it’s an old castle built around 1250 and burned down when hit by lightning in 1865: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohenrechberg_Castle

@thecanine@twtxt.net Oh, I actually thought that the pin might be some kind of a reference. But I didn’t figure out it was Czech. I guess the dog was doing dog stuff and hence especially the white got a bit dirty. :-) Yeah, they sometimes have some strange choices for their cosplay.

You’ll never guess what I learned from https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2023-11-19/0/POSTING-en.html. I’ve never seen for i do in shell scripts. Turns out, that walks over all positional arguments. So I reckon my for i in "$@"; do can now be shorter from now on. Very interesting in that detailled explanation to see all the – at least to me – inconsistent handling of semicolons and line breaks.

@darren@twtxt.net Ah, that makes sense now.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Cool, what uniform is he wearing?

@prologic@twtxt.net What do you mean by “cattle looking buildings”, which photo number? I don’t see any buildings that look like cows. Or what is the other meaning of “cattle”?

@eapl.me@eapl.me Hmmm, random sort for the genres? I also do miss power metal. :-) But I generally listen to music that’s on my own computer. No waste of network resources and just works all the time.

@darch@neotxt.dk For a web UI such a button sounds quite convenient. The only downside is that spammers also like that link. :-( So if built into e.g. yarnd, it should be probably opt-in and it might only really work well with single-user instances. At least it’s not obvious to me which address that e-mail reply button would use when multiple people are involved in a conversation. The original author’s? The last commentator’s? Reply to all of them? Note that I didn’t give this any real thought. This is only what popped up right in my head. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s a pity, of course.

@darren@twtxt.net Hmm, that sounds a bit strange to me. Why isn’t all weaponry limited to the same dates? Weird historical reasons I guess?

I just measured on a map that I hiked 22.5 km in 5:30 hours today. And I took 723 photos (yes, I’m totally insane; for your viewing pleasure I reduced them to only 96), which resulted in a lot of stops and a bunch of wasted time. I reckon I haven’t done this trip often enough, because I took the wrong turn-off – twice, on the way there and back – which cost me several extra kilometers. Well, I was just enjoying myself in nature, so that wasn’t bad at all. It just meant that I wouldn’t be home before dark. And that’s totally fine with me. Maybe next time I care to remember to walk the more direct route. We’ll see.

The golden autumn is so fricking beautiful. It only rained in the morning, so I left right after lunch. We then had a good mix of clouds and sunshine. At the beginning, the sun was out for at most 10 seconds in a row before the next cloud covered it up again. My camera takes longer than that to boot, so I missed a ton of opportunities. But judging by the number of photos, it didn’t hurt at all.

9 and 10 is a common kestral. I could figure that out based on another photo which had good colors but was very blurry. Unfortuntately, the deer in 30-32 were too far away. A few hundred meters I’d say. I had to think of Rapunzel in 84-86. :-)

After dawn and one and a half completely drained batteries I walked past a bunch of trees and wondered what kind of birds were sitting on them. They didn’t look like ravens or something similar. Suddenly, 20-30 red kites flew up (their V-shaped tails made it crystal clear). I have never seen so many of them in a flock. Not even close. That was super cool to watch. Much later after dark I also saw a bat flying over my head. Nice way to end this trip.

@eapl.me@eapl.me The only reliable way to let the other party know is to write an e-mail or any other out of bounds communication mechansim. There’s just the User-Agent header in the discoverability extension of Twtxt itself that comes close: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/discoverability.html But it requires feed operators to actually play along and check. Active pushes are prone to spam, so I actually view the lack thereof as a good thing.

@darren@twtxt.net Oh well. At least the deer like it I guess. :-) So hunting season is already over then? I don’t even know how it works here.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see. I only used these low-tech mechanical timers back in the days: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Zeitschaltuhr_mechanisch.jpg But it never got switched around to other power points.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Whoa, your kids can ride on Nanook. :-)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Super scenic, I’m loving it! Btw. your server seems to have a really slow internet connection. Download tops around 80 KB/s. The medium is much lower, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What the hell!? O_o

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There are a couple of horse farms around here, so one does actually meet horses on the forest roads every now and then. I know a few people who ride horses. Both owning a horse or just hacking.

Oh wow, this is fascinating! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESkfkqxCDA

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Tada! I didn’t track anything, but I reckon you’re ahead of me now. Congratulations! :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Not a lot, no. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, you’re not allowed to ride horses down that path.

But you’re also not supposed to cycle on forest roads that are narrower than two meters in BaWü.

Yeah, super calming. When I went to bed yesterday night, it also rained quite a bit and the drizzling was very pleasant. I quickly fell asleep.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is so cool! :-)

@darren@twtxt.net Oh snow! I didn’t know you could host images on amazon.com. It takes a few seconds to load, but eventually I received a photo. Did you catch a buck?
