@abucci@anthony.buc.ci 🤯 😅

Crappy photos of a big bird nearby: https://movq.de/v/85cc0f9328/

My guess is it’s a “common buzzard” (Mäusebussard). 🤔 🦅

I’m so unbelievably tired today, I just scrolled through the wikipedia article for Woolly Mammoth and wondered for a very long time why there were no photos of said animal. 🤦

@eaplmx@twtxt.net No idea, to be honest (other than what @prologic@twtxt.net said). I have the luxury of only recording my various electric basses, which all have pickups. 😅

What kind of music do you make and what instruments do you record?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Probably. “How hard can it be?!” 🤣

My god, audio production is so hard. 🥵 Why can’t I pick a simple hobby for once?! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Enjoy! 👯😅👯

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Yeah, it’s also a lot faster than httpd. There’s a noticable difference between nginx and httpd, even on my very simple website.

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Hmm, I quite like acme-client and httpd. 🤔 It’s annoying, though, that httpd cannot do proxy passes which forces you to use more complicated setups involving relayd …

@prologic@twtxt.net Dude, you have so much energy, it’s incredibly. How can you produce that much code?! 😲😅

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Hmm, which ones?

I can tell you what I dislike about OpenBSD:

• Still using CVS. And CVSWeb has a horrible usability, I gave up on it and browse sources on the GitHub mirror.
• Little things like:
  • tmpfs is not pageable and, IIRC, removing files does not free memory, either.
  • The distinction between MP and non-MP kernels, and the confusion that can come from that.
  • The non-adoption of UTF-8 on the console (outside of X11).
• The overall negative and somewhat arrogant attitude of the OpenBSD community. Doesn’t motivate me very much to contribute to the project.

And yet it’s currently the best OS for my private servers. 👌

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no You too! What are those structures, though? 🤔

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee I wonder what sparked that question. 🤔

Kind of reminds me of “Liquid Skies”. 😉

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I love that initiative. 👌 Couldn’t find anything similar in my area, but I’ll keep an eye out next time. 😊

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org :q!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wow, I’ve never heard of these ribbons before. 😳

Well, I wouldn’t say it’s black and white. There are delivery issues sometimes, it’s just part of the game – so it doesn’t always work. On the other hand, it’s not completely broken, either, is it?

What saddens me is people giving up. Everyone who claims “e-mail is broken” or “self-hosting is broken” makes life harder for the rest of us. 😐 Newcomers will read those blog posts and they’ll decide to not even try …

There was a follow-up blog post by someone else who brought up another important argument: “it’s never been easier to self-host your email” because the software has gotten so much better. Anyone remember setting up sendmail? 🤣 I haven’t even tried the alternatives mentioned in that post, because I use OpenBSD’s smtpd these days and I love it. 👌

Aaaaaaaaaand we’re back to 30°C. 🙄

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I didn’t know the word “windfall”, so I was expecting some crazy phenomenon in nature, like the clouds on Mount Roraima. 🤣

(Almost afraid to ask, is that legal?)

This blog post is getting quite a bit of attention at the moment: https://cfenollosa.com/blog/after-self-hosting-my-email-for-twenty-three-years-i-have-thrown-in-the-towel-the-oligopoly-has-won.html

I’d like to highlight this comment on HN:

I agree with the pains, but the options are not juts Big Tech or self-hosting. There’s a myriad of not-big-tech email providers out there, for example there’s Posteo, who use open source software and green energy. They are going strong for 13 years now with 400+k accounts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posteo

Please consider this option if you’re fed up with self-hosting e-mail. We need a diverse ecosystem.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Probably my favorite video of all time (pun intended). 😂

@mckinley@twtxt.net That’s probably it – it’s been wrong the whole time. According to my old posts on this matter, the stamps should be wrong during the entire summer (when DST should have been applied). 🥴 So, nothing changed recently, we only noticed it (again) … 🤦

@prologic@twtxt.net But why now? As far as I can tell, no state in the U.S. changes from DST at this time of the year. It’s a mystery! 😂

Hmm, something is fishy with her feed, though.

curl says:

Last-Modified: Fri, 02 Sep 2022 21:38:02 GMT

But her latest twt says:

2022-09-02T22:31:26-00:00

So if Last-Modified is correct (it probably is, unless her server’s clock is off, which is less likely than a bug in the script), then the latest twt looks indeed like it was from “the future”.

@prologic@twtxt.net I know, I remember those cases. Looking back at the threads kwptbpa and zmxk6pa (which both appear to be gone from your pod’s cache? 🤔), that timezone business of hers really shouldn’t happen until November. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That is one weird picture frame. 🤔 How large is that thing?

(And, haha, the place named “Galgenberg” …)

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee Welcome to the future. 😂

The heat wave is finally over. It lasted about 1.5 months. 🥵 Now we’re back to somewhat mild temperatures (17°C) and a bit of rain. Went on a walk earlier today, which was super relaxing.

Big trees have survived, but you can tell by the “grass” how much everything else has dried up.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You’re welcome. 😃 This Docker thingy is the first time I’ve seen binfmt_misc in action. Drew DeVault happened to mention binfmt_misc yesterday, too, in a different context. I don’t really do cross-architecture stuff … This topic only popped up at work, because Apple introduced their ARM M1 CPU and now our devs build multiarch Docker images (and we were wondering how the heck QEMU got installed).

@prologic@twtxt.net Hm, I’n not sure. Her website says “Seattle area” and this page says Seattle switches timezones in November. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep and yep 😊

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no https://imgur.com/gallery/JEQbneq 🫤

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Wooden house in Norway, right? I envy you 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net What the heck, now your posts also use https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt as the URL of my feed. That’s missing the www.! 😅

Turns out, I wasn’t entirely correct. According to Wikipedia, several cities tried to outlaw alcohol over the years. 🤔 Sometimes, a court overruled them, though. Also, it’s not allowed to drink alcohol on some trains.

I wasn’t aware of this. I rarely drink alcohol, let alone in public, so I wasn’t up to speed with the current rules. 😅 But to be honest, I think pretty much nobody knows. People generally assume that drinking in public is fine, I’d say. And nobody cares about people drinking “in a calm orderly manner” anyway, only drunk idiots are a problem.

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz Yeah, that’s the weakest point of raw twtxt: Discoverability. If you don’t have access to your server’s logs, then you’ll have a hard time finding out if someone mentioned you. 🫤

In the beginning, jenny actually used to include the list of people that you follow in the twtxt file. This has later been changed for privacy reasons. (You can still include such a list at the top of your feed, but you’d have to do it manually or with a script or something.)

The huge advantage of Yarn is that it’s a server-side application. When someone fetches your feed, Yarn will know and it can tell you. That’s just not possible with plain files. 🫤

(btw, the URL to my feed should include a www.. Since you omitted that, my jenny didn’t highlight your messages. 😅)

@prologic@twtxt.net Why do you ask? 🥴

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, I’m not sure. Do we/you really want to maintain docs at Yarn.social about other clients? Follow their development and update our guides accordingly? 😅 I think the current solution is better: Have a list of clients and link to their documentation.

(Or maybe I still didn’t understand. 😅 Sorry!)

@prologic@twtxt.net We already link to the blog post, don’t we? 🤔 What would be the benefit of moving that to Yarn.social?

@prologic@twtxt.net Germany doesn’t care, as long as you don’t drive a car. 😂

@eaplmx@twtxt.net That’s cute. 😅
