@bender@twtxt.net As I was not able to capture any recent ones, from the archives: https://lyse.isobeef.org/amsel-2024-05-29/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Here you go 🤣 https://git.mills.io/prologic/gonix/src/branch/main/cmd/imgview/main.go

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, Rust is quite popular in the Wayland scene, it seems.

In image viewer in 170 lines? Show me. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Happy sauna party! :´-/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I looked into swagimg. That’s the thing, The latest version pulls in fark’n C++ (geez fuck) and luajit. Anything else I’ve round for Wayland depdns on Rust (wtf?!) – So I built my own in Pure Go. It’s wonderful, so simple, only ~170 lines of Go 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net The only image viewer I like in general is this one:

https://codeberg.org/nsxiv/nsxiv

It’s for X11, though.

Allegedly, this Wayland image viewer is somewhat similar to nsxiv, maybe you’ll like that? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Someome else’s BDay. I’ll convey the wishes. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org show us, Lyse, to put our minds at ease! 🙏🏻

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It is horribly hot and humid here, and is not even 08:00. AC ran overnight for 3+ hours. It is going to be hellish, not going to lie.

Your birthday, or someone else’s? Either way, happy birthday! 🥳🎂 May many more years come, with good health… and less heat! ☺️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net 💯

Nothing scales so cheaply. 😁

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks…? 😄

I credit my subjects for how good they look. 😍

@iolfree@tilde.club @movq@www.uninformativ.de These monsters!

@bender@twtxt.net Right, can’t think of anything more pleasing than that! If only I were a landscape gardener, I could enjoy that all day long. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Vorsicht, freilaufende Gewitter!

So ähnlich war’s zuvor auch. Weit ringsum absolut nix. Es regnet und donnert schon eine viertel Stunde, bis der Wetterbericht und das Regenradar dann auch umschalten und von dem laufenden Unwetter Kenntnis haben.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ich zitiere von woanders und bin zu faul zum Übersetzen:

Ich gucke schon den ganzen Tag dem Storm Tracking zu und alle Gewitter in der Nähe haben sich kurz vor meinem Standort ausgeregnet oder sind abgedreht. 😭🥵

@iolfree@tilde.club 😨😨😨

@prologic@twtxt.net 100%. I am never going back to anything else but. Static sites would last much longer than any other too, for sure.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh yes! And, when I mow the lawn (which reminds me I need to mow the front soonish), you can add dust, bugs, and grass blades to the equation. Just “lovely”. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net wow! So much accomplished! 😍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good luck!

QEMU Screenshot:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de static sites are the best really 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwwww. 💚

@movq@www.uninformativ.de An apostroph and three quotes, yes. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmmmmmm. Can you at least see those? ’ „ “ ”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org My thermometer claims 27 °C now but I don’t trust it. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s horrible.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de We’re already at 29°C now. Five more to go. It’s terrible!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sounds lovely! (I think. Not sure about spider webs and such. 😅)

I woke up to 26°C this morning. 🥵

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com (I still hate that these photos look so good, despite being made with a telephone. 😝 I mean, the (probably built-in) filters are easy to spot, but it looks super convincing when you don’t pay attention.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, that would also be fine with me. I certainly do like the “arbitrary” in your comment.

While writing the article, I also thought about something like that:

date := time.Date(2026, 6, 19,
    17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

Or possibly:

date := time.Date(
    2026, 6, 19,
    17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC,
)

But it’s four lines for a damn timestamp. I also contemplated whether a comment acting as a separator is all that’s needed:

date := time.Date(2026, 6, 19, /**/ 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

I might like that the most. Not entirely sure yet. It kinda feels like a hack, but still a little elegant. Add your comment on top and we’re golden. Maybe?

I deliberately excluded them as this only distracted from the points I wanted to make. And I also realized that this example was just not ideal at all. Perhaps I should add them nevertheless?

If I ever invented a programming language, a much more human readable timestamp representation of some sort, RFC 3339 or very close to that would be part of that language. Something along the lines of /pattern/ for regexes in certain languages.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh wow, we’re talking about such a detailed level. 🤔

I agree with most of what you said.

I probably would have written it like this:

// Arbitrary reference date.
//                   Y  m   d   H  M  S  nano
date := time.Date(2026, 6, 19, 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

Would this be better or worse? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice boxes, yeah. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, thanks! :-D Some deliberately crude GIMP work.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Apparently some new ones, yeah, like these: 🫠🫩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What kind of Unicode do you use? All the new emojis?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com

But it also wouldn’t surprise me to find out that people like Bezzos, Musk, and Zuckerberg are actually ghoulish aliens

Yeah, that’s easier to accept, isn’t? “Phew, they’re not human after all. They’re not absolute psychopaths with zero empathy – they’re just aliens. Humans are good!” 😅

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ta! I don’t know about regional differences. But at the moment, they first start slowly appearing at around 21:45 to 22:00. And then it gets more and more. You’ve got about an hour until it’s over.

People often say that they are in and over the meadows close to the edges of the forest. But at least over here, there are literally magnitudes more in the forest. So far, I’ve maybe seen thirty, fourty (30-40) fireflies outside at the meadows, but one or two thousand (1000-2000) inside. Exactly like last year.

They like a little bit openish spots in the forest. Not like a clearing, but if you can see ~10 meters from the path into the woodland, chances are that fireflies will pop up. But if it’s really thick brush, the odds are very slim. The hotspots also slowly wander around over time. So, I just keep on walking after a few minutes of stopping to enjoy the show.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats, I guess. ;-) I’m not gonna dive into the comments either. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Definitely silly in places (and the back-alley fistfight is AWESOME).

But it also wouldn’t surprise me to find out that people like Bezzos, Musk, and Zuckerberg are actually ghoulish aliens here to keep us into a state of reduced consciousness while they extract what they can. “Their third-world.”

It’s like the bearded-man says: “We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is cattle.”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same, I only (vaguely) remember the more interesting bits. Most of the subjects weren’t my cup of tea. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s what I believe as well. But again, it shows a similar thing when a video cannot be downloaded. Anyway.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sometimes, views on quality code are 180° apart.

Here we are, it took me a bit longer: https://lyse.isobeef.org/code-readability/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … I also meant to comment on the very neat and stylish Play Button, but forgot to do so. 😅😅😅

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com When I first watched that movie (decades after it was released, probably like 10 years ago), I didn’t expect that. 😅 Feels super silly today, and all the fighting and the “look at me, I’m a strong man” stuff. 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh wow, nice. 😲 Never seen those in the wild myself.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org If I were to guess: They might have done so to avoid bug reports from users with heavily outdated versions. 🫤

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Apologies not necessary 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Very cool! Like @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I don’t think I’m the target audience for this (as I’m already a DevOps hobbyist managing a small server “victory garden”), but I love the idea.

Apologies for hitting it early, I initially overlooked the sign-up form and thought I would try it for 💩s and 😁s.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the movie gives me a glimpse, not that bad. Thank you for capturing it, mate!

I found my tripod and headed into the woods. There was a ton of glow. \o/ The fireflies were everywhere, super cool. It looked so amazing, especially with all the flying boys. There was one amazing spot in particular, I had 80-100 individuals in my view at once. Absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately, the mozzies were also delighted about my visit.

I tried my best, but it’s impossible to capture anything on film with my equipment. The fireflies are just way too dim. In the end, I managed to get some very bright girls in the bush. That’s the best I could do, but still really bad. Sorry @bender@twtxt.net. :-(

And no idea what the heck is going on with the CSS there. Anyway. Garbage to trash, seems fitting. ;-)
