@bender@twtxt.net I misread that sentence and thought that your first crush was called Gisela, and was like “wait, he’s not that old”.

Turns out, Gisela is a much younger name than I thought:

A peak in the late 1970is and late 1990ies? What?

But then it turned out that, in Germany, the popularity dropped rapidly in the late 1950ies, which actually matches my expectations:

In other words, some other countries picked up the name Gisela after it had already faded away in Germany.

What a fun rabbit hole. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org love the name! That’s the name of one my childhood first crush’s mum. LOL. And now she is a lovely bird! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you. I just got very lucky, though. Anyway, let me introduce you to Gisela. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org your wildlife photography is getting much better! Got to name them, what do you think? Too early? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ouch. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Yeah, super sweet. :-) I was lucky to capture this beautie again today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/gruenfink-2026-05-06/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, they messed up the signing key rotation: https://blog.denic.de/technische-storung-bei-de-domains-behoben/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org green or not, it is lovely. So effortlessly perked at the top of the tree! Ah, if only we could see the world as birds do…! <3

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Isn’t that a cutie! 😍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yep, this was a big oopsie at DENIC:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org movq.de took ages to come up, but it finally did. Weird.

@bender@twtxt.net Let me offer some cheese to @xuu@txt.sour.is. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see, thank you. Maybe I remember next time. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Aww, this is beautiful! Too many people for me, but they’re cetainly great to show the scale. Quite some impressive falls. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net It’s been a while (6.5 years) since I’ve done this. I’d do it like this:

• Boot some Linux from a USB stick on the new machine. Preferably Arch Linux, since that is what I’m running and that’ll make the upcoming chroot easier.
  
• Partition the new disk, create LUKS devices, filesystems, …
  
• Mount the new filesystems and copy all data (user data and the system itself – everything). Do this either over the network or by hooking up the old disk directly.
  
• chroot into the new system (Arch has an arch-chroot tool for that which is used during normal installation, if I’m not mistaken). Inside the chroot, install the bootloader.
  
• Do some fixups, like adjusting /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab.
  

And I think that should be it. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I believe it’s been money well spent if I’m to be honest. It’s a great “get away” and “adventure” for not just myself but the family too. Getting away from it all, experiencing nature and what this wonderful country has to offer is pretty nice 👍 As long as we keep up the adventures over the long time, use it several times a year, it will be very well wroth the investment 👌

Hey, @xuu@txt.sour.is, mouse, where are thou? Silent these days, way too silent.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I would love to read a more detailed account on these moves. When you write moved, you mean user data, correct?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com is there a Gamer Master, or Dungeon Master in Magic? My kid plays DnD, and such person is decisive for many outcomes, and for the quality of the game in general.

Congratulations! :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net nice! Looks like a great place to be. I wouldn’t mind, just about now! How is the camper behaving? Got all your money worth already? Based on your light participation around here I am tempted to say yes. :-D

On the weekend just gone we also visited Twin Falls, which was absolutely magnificent!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org These days (and it’s been like that for a while), almost everything is loaded on-demand depending on which hardware the OS finds, so you can simply copy all your files with cp -a, install a bootloader, adjust some minor things /etc/fstab, done. Well, maybe not “done”, but it’s easy to sort out the remaining stuff afterwards.

I’ve moved the Arch installation at work from a stationary Dell workstation to an Acer laptop to a Lenovo Carbon laptop to a Tuxedo laptop to a Lenovo Thinkpad. 😅

Yeah, the keyboard of the netbook isn’t all that great, but I have to say that I absolutely love netbooks. And I hate that they got replaced by tablets and smartphones. A netbook is a normal PC, just very small and super easy to carry around – that’s brilliant!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, nice! I never was brave enough to try to move the OS to a different machine, always reinstalled from scratch. :-S

A mate also had this or a very similar white Samsung netbook. I remember typing on that thing was no fun at all for me, never hit the single right key. :-D

I’m not a fan of netbooks, there’s not remotely enough screen space for my taste. I always had 15 inch notebook. Sure, they are way heavier, but I can actually get work with them done. And yes, glared screens are an invention right from the devil himself. Completely stupid.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s a way much cleaner design. Not so overloaded anymore.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Turns out, this actually was a little machine once (small netbook): https://movq.de/blog/postings/2011-04-28/0/POSTING-de.html And then I moved the whole installation to a different laptop later. I love that you can easily do that on Linux.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Happy birthday, little machine!

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I didn’t expect that name either. :-D And it’s actually a cave, too.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, lol, it’s literally called that: https://www.queensland.com/au/en/places-to-see/experiences/nature-and-wildlife/everything-to-know-about-natural-bridge 😂

@kiwu@twtxt.net Dang it! I first thought it was jitters due to your exams. Hang in there!

@bender@twtxt.net Natural Brisge lol 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh yeah, very beautiful! I can hear the roaring of the waterfall and like to be there, too. The first shot makes it look like you’re in the middle of a cave. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Very cute. :-)

@kiwu@twtxt.net 😩😩😩

Natural Bridge

The smallest sitting canine drawn so far, yet more detailed, than some of the previous ones.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Absolutely right. And I cannot say that I’m not guilty of that either.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that’s a nice one! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. Once you truly know Germans (if such thing is possible, hahahaha!), you realise the stereotype is totally uncalled for.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz where are thou?! Haven’t seeing you like, in light years!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yes, yarnd has a few parser (?) issues that were never resolved. If only a powerful token predictor could fix it, once and for all… 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de here here 🙌

@yarn_police@twtxt.net Looks like the rendering in yarnd is off. The second subject (prisoner error!) was robbed, its link text got stolen.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks, mate! Yeah, that never gets old, there’s something magically about it. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Those are some great shots! “Sun through leaves” always works. 😃 And the tweeting bird, lovely. 😃

@bender@twtxt.net How poetic, very well said. :-) It calls for the small man’s adventures.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 33! Wow! Very good stash on clicks, Lyse! And that Ford van reminds me of the police account used to keep order around here. LOL. It’s a gem!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it makes it more real, and truthful. We don’t want no pedicured road, with fairies flying around. It is the real deal! :-)

@kiwu@twtxt.net All the best of luck, mate! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net The horse shit looks really nice in that evening light, right? ;-)
