Woof, woof, @thecanine@twtxt.net! That’s cute.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have not, thanks! <3

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, I take my 0°C over the 36°C anytime! Even with yesterday’s gray and windy sleet in my face. However, there are definitely more pleasant times to walk in town, I’ll give you that. For example on 0°C sunny today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-12-25/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I watched a few of these thanks to you! Very cool shit™ 😎

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ooof that’s chilly 🥶

@prologic@twtxt.net And I froze my ass off yesterday at -5°C and strong winds. 🤣

@dce@hashnix.club merry Christmas to you too!

@thecanine@twtxt.net Is it because you’ve used white pixels around it to sort of give it aht 3D look? 👀 Hmm? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net It’s fun living in the future isn’t it 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net merry Christmas! I keep forgetting you live in our future. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, this is hilarious! :‘-D

@prologic@twtxt.net 🎄 Merry Christmas and stuff 😅🎅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Lovely! We also just had some snow. 😃 Not a lot, but still. 😅

(Lol, I totally read that as “rootfs”. 🤪)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only the roofs are a little white. It’s also windy here. https://lyse.isobeef.org/weisse-weihnachten-2025-12-24/01.jpg

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oooh, nice! ⛄ We only have cold stormy weather over here. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks. 😅 (Do I say that? The WM can’t answer. 🤣)

@zvava@twtxt.net I might misunderstand what you wrote, but only hashing the message once and storing the hash together with the message in the database seems a way better approch to me. It’s fixed and doesn’t change, so there’s no need to recompute it during runtime over and over and over again. You just have it. And can easily look up other messages by hash.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe there’s another meaning I’m not aware of, but this doesn’t look like a shitpost to me. Congrats, I guess. ;-)

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve been awake at that time, didn’t notice anything. 🤔 Where was that BGP analyzer again … 😅 There’s a tool that keeps track of these things, right? I forgot what it was.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de A crocodile had bitten the big submarine internet cable that connects Australia to Europe. The investigations revealed that some construction work last week accidentally tore up the protective layer around it. That went unnoticed, unfortunately, so marine life had an easy job today. For just 40 minutes, they were quite fast in repairing the damage if you ask me! These communication cables are fricking large.

Just kidding, I completely made that up. :-D I didn’t notice any outage either. But I didn’t try to connect to Down Under at the time span in question.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de From 2:50 PM to 3:23 PM AEST (+10 UTC) there was an outage. Everything went “up” on Down Detector, my EU region went offline, numerous sites were unavailable, and so on. Basically everything to/from the EU appeared to basically go kaput.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hm, I didn’t notice anything. Perhaps I was asleep? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very nice! I often wish other languages had something similar. Sometimes, I use lambdas, but that also looks ugly and feels a bit like a misuse. Other times, just the normal blocks are enough, but it’s not the same. Especially with the mutability aspects as the article explains. Typically, I just put it in a function or ignore it if it’s just a few lines.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, cool! :-) Yeah, it’s very wild what is happening under the hood all the time.

@prologic@twtxt.net You write so much code … it’s incredible. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org These tables get shuffled around every time your OS switches to another process. It’s crazy that so much is going on behind the scenes.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I was surprised by that as well. 😅 I thought these were features that you can use, but no, you must do all this.

By the way, I now fixed the issue that I mentioned at the end and it works on the netbook now. 🥳

https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-21/0/netbook.jpg

Wow, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, so many tables. No idea what I expected (I’m totally clueless on this low-level stuff), but that was quite an interesting surprise to me. https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-21/0/POSTING-en.html

@kiwu@twtxt.net Ta, same to you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kiwu@twtxt.net it just so happens to be a happy coincidence that I’m extending mu’s capabilities to now include a native toolchain-free compiler (doesn’t rely on any external gcc/clang or linkers, etc) that lowers the mu source code into an intermediate representation / IR (what @movq@www.uninformativ.de refers to as “thick layers of abstractions”…) and finally to SSA + ARM64 + Mach-O encoder to produce native binary executables (at least for me on my Mac, Linux may some later?) 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe But I thought Alpine was one of the good distro’s left. 😢 What’s it doing wrong?

@kiwu@twtxt.net Assembly is usually the most low-level programming language that you can get. Typical programming languages like Python or Go are a thick layer of abstraction over what the CPU actually does, but with Assembler you get to see it all and you get full control. (With lots of caveats and footnotes. 😅)

I’m interested in the boot process, i.e. what exactly happens when you turn on your computer. In that area, using Assembler is a must, because you really need that fine-grained control here.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, a table of contents is indeed a great idea!

@kiwu@twtxt.net Finally doing some Assembler again. 😅 Just a tiny little bit at least.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, well, given that I didn’t need this for such a long time, it’s probably not an essential tool. 😅

I’ve often wanted to have an outline of text documents, though, and tagbar/ctags can do that as well:

https://movq.de/v/abc58e6d66/tagbar-latex.png

This isn’t as powerful as the “Navigator” tool in StarOffice/LibreOffice (which can be used to rearrange the document), but still pretty useful:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting. I never found a big use for these kind of lists in general. But I might give it a shot again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure what it had in its beak. It looked a wee bit like a large biscuit. But it must have been rock-hard.

@kiwu@twtxt.net I’m doing great, how’re ya going? Just two more days and then I never have to work anymore. In this year.

I just baked two trays of gingerbread. One definitely good one and another experiment.

This morning was also super pretty: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2025-12-19/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Awww, 03.jpg. 😍 Yeah, we also had a nice sunset. I was on the road, though, so no photos.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pretty sure all my mu solutions are very slow, but not so slow as I optimized most of the implementations to avoid as much brute forcing as I could.

@prologic@twtxt.net It is, yes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is the total amount of cpu time consumed right?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmmm 🧐

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe I think I never watched it. In any case, enjoy reading your books.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Neither have I. :-D

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe These are all Debian release names: https://www.debian.org/releases/

• Bookworm is current oldstable
  
• Trixie is current stable
  
• Forky is current testing

@kiwu@twtxt.net evening!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net How on earth did you do that so quickly, especially day 10? People were struggling with this a lot. 🤯

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Jesus, that was quick. 😅
