@movq@www.uninformativ.de you got this!!!!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🔥🔥🔥

@zvava@twtxt.net The features are coming together, this is great!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Somebody knew what he was doing, great shots! Also, quite interesting to see the color and brightness change.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz How often have you been up top a sky scraper roof so far?

@dce@hashnix.club I’ve never heard of weirdcore before, but it’s kind of intriguing. 😃

@dce@hashnix.club The difference in brightness is pretty big. When the Moon is completely inside of the Earth’s shadow, you can see the red tint:

As soon as direct sunlight returns, even just a little bit, the Moon looks mostly normal again.

Oops, maybe I should have posted a reminder. 🥴

@dce@hashnix.club By the time you posted your twt, the red phase was already over. 🙈 Stellarium has a pretty good simulation of the whole thing.

@zvava@twtxt.net wow, this is a full change, and looking very, very, very good! I am ready to test it. 🙈

@movq@www.uninformativ.de THESE ARE SO COOL OMG

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah i made it to the front bc i got there early!!! i was so happy :‘) the rooftop was such a vibe too

rilo kiley are the best <3

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com that’s so cool!!!

@zvava@twtxt.net I reckon there’s currently nobody working on v2. Which timezone are you in? Just post your questions here or head over to #yarn.social at libera.chat for a more realtime conversation via IRC.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh no, I completely missed it, didn’t think of it anymore! :-(

Thank you for the great photos! <3

@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.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s cool!!! i didn’t know that :0

@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

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz nooo my heart didn’t show up

@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 lovely!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, beautiful!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz like it’s the shame that kills me the most but i just gotta get through it if i want a working server (and i really do!!!)

@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. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! And I didn’t look out the window at all. Was watching eels. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! 🙏🏻

@bender@twtxt.net The person actually reached out to me. It’s all good. ✌️

@dce@hashnix.club Oof, that’s surprising. I wouldn’t have expected that to be so slow. 😳😳😳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You might enjoy this one: https://github.com/TheMozg/awk-raycaster

Dear dev.alessandrocutolo.it, do you really need to fetch my twtxt feed every 20-30 seconds? 😅 Not that it’s posing a problem, but I feel like this could be optimized. For example, how about using the if-modified-since request header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/If-Modified-Since

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @dce@hashnix.club It’s pretty cool, I won’t argue that, but also really simple, to be completely honest. 😅 The BIOS already provides all you need to send data to the printer:

https://helppc.netcore2k.net/interrupt/bios-printer-services

The BIOS actually does provide a great deal of things, which, to me, was one of the most surprising learnings of this project (the project of writing a little 16-bit real-mode OS, that is). It often doesn’t feel like I was writing an operating system – it felt more like writing a normal program that just uses BIOS calls like we would use syscalls these days.

(I’ve also read a lot of warnings, like “don’t use the BIOS for this or that”. Mostly because it tends to be very slow.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woah, heck yeah, congratulations, mate!

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

@dce@hashnix.club Which Thinkpad specifically is this? “Late-2010s” doesn’t sound very old, to be honest, I wonder why OpenBSD is giving you so much trouble. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh no! 😱😱😱

@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.)

@zvava@twtxt.net real 😭

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz had to add an env variable to this pod’s configuration to increase the max media file size for this one LMAO

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is from the video for her song “oops!” – check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOV1vApNIuk

@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.

@bender@twtxt.net thank youuuu bender i missed your fun posts!!!! yeah i have been INSANELY BUSY with fujocoded work (see those newsletter posts!) it’s been tough but i’ve been making my way through it 🫡🫡🫡

@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

@zvava@twtxt.net omg this is so cool!!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org IIRC they’re getting attacked by bots on a huge level

also this is a really useful page!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wouldn’t the PDF version be better? https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.pdf

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! :-)
