From my small experience in writing an event database, I am inclined to agree with this.

** Moon maker **
I recently re-read Peter Naur’s“Programming as theory building”. Afterwards I set out to write my own text editor. The paper posits that it’s really hard, if not impossible, to fully communicate about a program and sort of gestures at the futility of documentation…what spun around inside my head as I read was that our primary programming medium — text files — is silly. Like, some folks would totally 100% s … ⌘ Read more

Trying to wrap my head around webfinger..

my first thoughts about it were that a subject of acct:me@sour.is would have a listing of rel’s for the different accounts that are related to me (ie. yarn, salty, twitter, mastodon, etc…)

but maybe my thinking is at the wrong level.. that each of those accounts would be on a subject level and the rels are describing different aspects of that account. so i would have salty:acct:xuu@sour.is, twitter:acct:xuu, mastodon:acct:xuu@chaos.social, yarn:acct:xuu@ev.sour.is and then i could have a main acct:me@sour.is that links them together as aliases.

I found okta will do something similar with its accounts to show as okta:acct:user@domain so maybe I am on to something?

I’ll let the head of the bird site comment on that:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @mckinley@twtxt.net Yup, some people do. I tried several times to figure out whether I also have some imaginary voice in my head or not. And I can’t really tell. My best bet is that it depends. Generally there is no voice or just a very faint one. For very complex stuff I think my brain plays some audio. But it’s very hard to tell. If I try to think about it, it feels super weird in my head.

whenever someone denies something, nod my head sagely and say “glomarizing nicely, I see.”

My head is all over the place completely disorganised

I do have that damn song stuck in my head now… It is a good song but still…

Yesterday, we had a heavy thunderstorm in the evening. At first it wasn’t too bad, just thunder in the distance and then a few drops of rain for at most five minutes. That was it. Alright, I thought, it’s over, let me call a mate and walk to the dairy farm. The heavy clouds looked awesome, a bit threatening but mostly harmless and just beautiful. We decided on a small detour to the home made ice cream vending machine and got ourselves some expensive, but very yummy pineapple/mint, yoghurt and raspberry/basil tubs. Mint was super strong, had to eat three spoons of some other flavors to actually taste it. A few spoons in and then the thunder rolled in from nowhere. So we quickly headed for the dairy farm while eating our ice creams. Half way there the sky floodgates opened and we took cover under a tree at the local playground. A minute later we decided to climb up the slide tower, because it had a proper roof. A tiny bit of hail cam down, but nothing serious.

About 15-20 minutes the rain stopped and the thunder and lighning rolled past. So we continued our journey and I finally filled my two one liter bottles successfully. Every now and then it drizzled a little bit through the forest. We reached our homes and a couple minutes later rain hit again. Thunder and lighning went crazy. The sky lit up every few seconds and this continued through half of the night.

Right after I hung up to meet my mate, another mate called and reported a few villages north of us they experienced hail sized a bit under golf balls. But he luckily managed to get the car in the underground carpark in time.

Today, it rained the whole morning. This was great since the temperatures stayed below 20°C, so my walk was a real joy. It’s going to get close to 30°C tomorrow, though, gnarf, örks, bwäh. :-(

PEP 683: Immortal Objects, Using a Fixed Refcount
Under this proposal, any object may be marked as immortal.
“Immortal” means the object will never be cleaned up (at least until
runtime finalization). Specifically, the refcount for an immortal
object is set to a sentinel value, and that refcount is never changed
by Py_INCREF(), Py_DECREF(), or Py_SET_REFCNT().
For immortal containers, the PyGC_Head is never
changed by the garbage collector. ⌘ Read more

In search of a new printer
At the moment I do not have a working printer at home. I have an inkjet printer, but due to a long period of non-use, the cartridge or the print head has dried up. If I want to print something, I have to do it in a copy store or a drugstore. This is possible, but especially if I need to print something spontaneously, or only a few pages, then the effort is annoying. ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net
Thank you, that’s the correct one.

Still I have this in my logs (first access of “eleven” by yarnd):

ip.ip.ip.ip - - [21/Oct/2021:20:05:36 +0000] “GET /eleven.txt HTTP/2.0” 200 344 “-” “yarnd/0.2.0@46bea3f (Pod: twtxt.net Support: https://twtxt.net/support)”
ip.ip.ip.ip - - [21/Oct/2021:20:05:36 +0000] “HEAD /avatar.png HTTP/2.0” 200 0 “-” “yarnd/0.2.0@46bea3f (Pod: twtxt.net Support: https://twtxt.net/support)”

And I guess without avatar.png sitting there I would have seen even more requests like /eleven.txt/avatar.png.

I’ve copied stackeffect.png to avatar.png to make yarnd happy when accessing stackeffect.txt.

So in this setup yarnd fetched eleven.txt along with avatar.png which belongs to another twtxt. This feels buggy.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de To clarify, Markdown is just text. 😊 I can do bolding, link things, and if single return multilines ever comes to jenny, I would be able to do bulleted and numbered lists.

The only things—that I know of—that doesn’t work is “> “, but I can use “>”, like so:

D’oh!

So, jenny allows me to write Markdown almost just fine!
