We are looking for an automatic dehydrator to dry vegetables. Since the vegetable and beef broth from the supermarket contains too much palm oil and additives, we always make it ourselves. But it seems to use too much electricity in the oven. Besides, I could also dry fruit with the dehydrator. Does anyone have such a machine and can recommend it?

@darch@neotxt.dk Did nvAlt with SimpleNote in the past. But it lacks the ability to add images. Unfortunately. Also waiting for - I don’t know 10 years now - for nvAlt2. Brett is not getting it finished, I think. When will it ever be finished?

@shreyan@twtxt.net Can’t use it at work. And it is a bit too expansive for me.

@prologic@twtxt.net The bigegst issue with HedgeDoc I have is that it does not do search. But for publishing Posts for friends and some link collections for work it is nice.

@krekt@twtxt.net I have a Creality Ender 3 v2 neo. Installed alternate firmware from MrISCOC on it. Loving it so far!

Settings taken from Ender 3V2 Neo Professional Firmware Tutorial, kinda (YouTube)

@ionores@twtxt.net I installed it and I like it. It is very nice.

I tested the yarn desktop client on wsl2 on windows 11, compiled and ran just fine there. Nice to have linux applications with gui on windows.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s my point. 😅 Over here, we have crows, pigeons, and lots of small birds. And that’s pretty much it. Nothing of the size and Dinosaur-like quality as those turkeys. 😅

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I don’t get it 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de They’re ordinary becaus you see them everywhere in the cities and suburbs 😆

@mckinley@mckinley.cc Oh, this is so great! :‘-D Gotta have to tell this my mates who play Factorio. Also had to laugh when reading the introduction:

[Compared to Excel] serious financial, medical or industrial applications should probably stick to the more mature calculation capabilities found in Factorio circuits.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you very much! The originals are now available in this 11.4 MiB ZIP archive.

@darch@neotxt.dk I could be wrong, but I don’t see a pun here, maybe some English native speaker can correct me. From my point of view it’s just a parody on Robin Hood with some ridiculously funny spin. Monty Python at their finest. The lupin part might be a reference to tulip mania, when prices in the Netherlands for tulips bulbs went through the sky in 1637. Or it’s just some random thing without a deeper meaning.

Yeah, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, we’ve cut it short and unfortunately didn’t make it to the third emperor-mountain. Some feet called it quits prematurely.

Our four hour long night hike turned out to be really great. It was surprisingly warm, most of the way a t-shirt was enough. Only in the end we had to pull over a jumper for the long sleeves. We saw plenty of bats flying around us and also a marten in one of the villages. It was sitting in the middle of the road and then hid under a parked car. On the downside, tons of mozzies were also around.

In one place the street lights shining on the tree leaves in combination with slight mist turned the scenery into something really incredible. Can’t describe it other than mystical. Just super beautiful and impossible (for me) to capture on film.

We brought our torches, but didn’t end up using them. The moon and starlit sky was enough. Only in the forests it sometimes got a bit dark on us. The first night hike of the season was a great success and will be repeated several times.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I think that’s it!

Heh, Australia. It’s so crazy to me that you call this an ordinary bird. 🤣

Try wrapping your head around this

I’m not sure how this would work out in the real world.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice wallpaper worthy shot in 03!👌

@@texto-plano.xyz Sounds like you need a hobby or something 😆

@marado@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

drinking, smoking, coding, sleep, repeat

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah well as it stands right now, this is insane. It’s total junk 😅

Or Brush Turkey 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pretty sure it’s an ordinary garden variety bush turkey from around here (Australia) 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Ohh, I love birds. 😁 What species is this, do you know? At first, I thought it’s some kind of vulture – but the beak is too long, I think. 🤔 So, a turkey perhaps? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 24km, you’ve got to be kidding me. 🤣

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the night…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you! No, that’s straight from the camera, apart from resizing no manipulation was performed in post.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, most sheep around here have lighter hair, too.

@prologic@twtxt.net This is so cool! @mckinley@twtxt.net We went on a long hike (~24 km) yesterday, a short stroll this morning and are about to have an ~15 km night hike tonight. Let’s see how that goes.

@prologic@twtxt.net You more or less need a data center to run one of these adequately (well, train…you can run a trained one with a little less hardware). I think that’s the idea–no one can run them locally, they have to rent them (and we know how much SaaS companies and VCs love the rental model of computing).

There’s a lot of promising research-grade work being done right now to produce models that can be run on a human-scale (not data-center-scale) computing setup. I suspect those will become more commonly deployed in the next few years.

@darch@neotxt.dk I fully agree with this. As the well-worn saying goes, you cannot address social problems with technological solutions.

Right, especially not if it’s “cloud storage”.

Errrr, what I meant here: It’s not useful if “the cloud” manages the key. You know, those little check boxes at Google or Azure, “encrypt this storage and generate a key for me” …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks ! I’ll take a look 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Some people at work have made this:

https://github.com/seibert-media/automatix

You put the “commands” in a YAML file. It’s Python and deals a lot with our corner cases. 🥴 Not sure if you want to use it as it is.

(Personally, I’d remove the YAML stuff altogether.)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah, that’s more clear. 👌

Systems that are on all the time don’t benefit as much from at-rest encryption, anyway.

Right, especially not if it’s “cloud storage”. 😅 (We’re only doing it on our backup servers, which are “real” hardware.)

I played with nlpodyssey/verbaflow: Neural Language Model for Go today a little bit today…. First I had to download a ~2GB file (the model), then convert that to a format the program verbaflow understands which came out to roughly ~5GB. Then I tried some of the samples in the README. My god, this this is so goddamn awfully slow its like watching paint dry 😱 All just to predict the next few tokens?! 😳 I had a look at the resource utilisation as well as it was trying to do this “work”, using 100% of 1.5 Cores and ~10GB of Memory 😳 Who da fuq actually thinks any of this large language model (LLM) and neural network crap is actually any good or useful? 🤔 Its just garbage 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net Sorry saw the Twt the first time, but sadly I don’t use Tor nor know how to use it in the first place 🤣

Announcing again on this feed for visibility

mckinley.cc is now available as a Tor hidden service: http://mckinley2nxomherwpsff5w37zrl6fqetvlfayk2qjnenifxmw5i4wyd.onion/

I don’t want ~27 hours generating keys to go to waste :)

Check this out 😆

@mckinley@twtxt.net On a family outing and sitting down for lunch now 😋

What’s everyone up to this weekend?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reworked the paragraph about security and improved that sentence. Hopefully it’s a little more clear.

However, the key on the unencrypted partition is only valid for the time it takes to reboot, assuming we reboot as soon as the script completes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I get it. I wouldn’t set this up for anyone else. Systems that are on all the time don’t benefit as much from at-rest encryption, anyway. This is definitely an interesting solution, however, and it has worked well for me in the past 1-2 weeks. We’ll see how it goes in 1-2 years.

Go in 100 Seconds - YouTube – I kind of like what this guy does at times, very short and concise, but very well put together 👌

@darch@neotxt.dk What was the interesting key takeaway for you? 🤔

These are my thoughts currently (from IRC):

[10:40:20]  <prologic> Thinking about writing a do nothing framework in Go
[10:41:10]  <prologic> One in which consumers can define their procedure in their own repo
[10:42:07]  <prologic> And users can of the tool can execute any procedure that the binary has imported
[10:42:58]  <prologic> And eventually implement Run() to turn steps from manual ones to automated ones gradually
[14:51:34]  <xuu> Like for mocking against?
[14:51:43]  <xuu> Not sure I follow
[16:03:04]  <prologic> xuu basically for reducing the activation energy to complete otherwise manual procsses
[16:03:14]  <prologic> where you can gradually turn them into automated processes
[16:03:29]  <prologic> https://blog.danslimmon.com/2019/07/15/do-nothing-scripting-the-key-to-gradual-automation/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m trying to build something like this at my work. Do you have a library of such procedures or are the scripts/binaires built for one proc at a time?

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep, we do use that approach at work. 👌 I wasn’t convinced at first, either, but I’m beginning to see the benefits.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice shots. 😊 I’m surprised by the amount of depth of field effect in 35.jpg. Or is that post-proc?

@mckinley@twtxt.net Interesting. For a moment, I thought about using that for our servers at work, but mh, I’d rather not. It’s fine for stuff at home, as you said.

(The way the text is written, you might think that you can specify expiry dates for key slots, because of that “it’s only valid for 30 seconds”. Then I realized that doesn’t make any sense. 😅)
