In-reply-to » Two mates and I went on a 25km hike yesterday to the Wasserberg (lit. Water Mountain) and Fuchseck (lit. Fox Corner) on the edge of the Swabian Alb. They arrived by train and of course it was delayed by half an hour, "due to limited availability of tracks". That was a first one, I never heard that reason before. Another train had a breakdown in a train station and later my mates' train had to be rebooted, too. That restart alone took 10Ā minutes. O_o Software problem, it can't be helped.

Oh dear, I got plenty of spam ā€“ if not even worse ā€“ on one of my jabber IDs. One sender JID was on exploit.net or exploit.im or something like that (I already forgot).

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Oh cool, that looks nice! Great job. Would he be able to jump the fence when standing on his hutā€™s roof? How does the door lock work? Also, thatā€™s some giant bone. :-) I bet he loves that one.

I couldnā€™t help myself but notice that it appears your stairs and the left of the deck need some countersinks for the screws. 8-)

Theyā€™re upset that they donā€™t get to spy on private information because they used an ephemeral channel to send it?
Are they upset because they erased the white boards too?

In-reply-to » @prologic Thank you. I'm using Pixel Station. I can't recommend it enough for this kind of pixelart, but it's only available for Android.

@prologic@twtxt.net Iā€™m not sure. I never had an Apple device and when this app was briefly broken by Android updates, I sadly wasnā€™t able to find any good alternative, other than emulating an older version of Android, until a fix came out.

It does worry me a little, because it is this one developer hobby project, that is not opensource, that my ability to properly draw pixelart, relies upon.

In-reply-to » @thecanine Btw... Do you have a web (ideally) based gallery view of your pixel art work here somewhere? šŸ¤”

@prologic@twtxt.net if you go into the ā€œART menuā€ and click /pixel-art/, you get the main folder, where it can all be browsed by file names, but currently without a preview.

If you want more of a gallery thing, check out the backup sites listed under it (also in the ā€œART menuā€, of the main site). Currently you can choose between NextCloud, Gdrive, OneDrive and TeraBox - NextCloud is probably the most accessible option.

Hmm, didnā€™t yarnd automatically inline image URLs back in the days? Looks like I have to resort back to markdown images again.

Two mates and I went on a 25km hike yesterday to the Wasserberg (lit. Water Mountain) and Fuchseck (lit. Fox Corner) on the edge of the Swabian Alb. They arrived by train and of course it was delayed by half an hour, ā€œdue to limited availability of tracksā€. That was a first one, I never heard that reason before. Another train had a breakdown in a train station and later my matesā€™ train had to be rebooted, too. That restart alone took 10Ā minutes. O_o Software problem, it canā€™t be helped.

It rained the whole day before, so a lot of foot paths had turned into small creeks. Also, the mud levels were much higher than usual. We also took one or the other shortcut which were even messier. And also reeaalllly steep (see 07 and 08). It didnā€™t help that my guiding abilities also sucked a bit and I took the wrong turn twice. Oh well, we just explored new paths Iā€™ve never been on. Thatā€™s a win in my book. :-)

After a rest at the Wasserberghaus with a Spezi, we then decided to also visit the Fuchseck, since weā€™re just around the corner. It took a bit longer that I remembered and after enyoing the view and eating homemade waffles with apple sauce, we then made our way home.

About 100Ā meters in front of the train station it began to rain. The thunderstorm caught up on us. We just made it in time, a couple of minutes later, the train was supposed to show up. I quickly walked home and was a bit soaked when I unlocked the front door.

It was great fun, it was a nice stroll for me, my mates were absolutely exhausted. Well, I admit, my feet hurt, too. :-)

Hereā€™s a nice view on the Three Emperor-Mountains in the distance. From left to right: Hohenstaufen, Rechberg and Stuifen, the left one is my backyard mountain:
