In-reply-to » I am supposed to come to office today, but I have caught the same cold bug wife has had for the last three days, so I am staying remote to spare cube-mates. Nose stuck, dripping, and a general slight sense of malaise is what I am feeling right now.

@bender Get well soon!

(And thanks for not being one of those ā€œitā€™s just a coldā€ guys.)

In-reply-to » I have months of intense security compliance theater ahead of me and wish for a quick and painless death.

One of the super frustrating things about this: I have to write lots of documents, but I am required to use horrendous software to do that. It cannot even number sections automatically, nor can you insert cross-references to other sections. Simple stuff like that. It all has to be done manually.

Even Word 97 could do shit like that ā€¦

Went out in the cold and noticed that taking photos half an hour on top of the drafty summit is not the very best idea. Not suprising that I freeze if there is snow. Gloves would have been actually great, I only wore my beanie. But it was a very good afternoon and evening. Looking at the snowmen, there must have been heaps of snow on the ground earlier this day.

I came across several different birds and two deer. 36-38 shows the same one, one meadow further, another deer jumped across the road. That was cool.

The focus often wanted to do its own thing, unfortunately. 25 shows the flatness of the Kaiserbergsteige (literally ā€œEmperor Mountain Steep Roadā€).

In-reply-to » @bendwr and I discussing something along the lines of: Media I.e: How to deal with or reduce noise from legacy feeds.

The wording can be more subtle like ā€œThis feed have not seen much activity within the last yearā€ and maybe adding a UI like I did in timeline showing time ago for all feeds

I agree that it good to clean up the Mastodon re-feeds, but it should also be okay for anyone to spin up a twtxt.txt just for syndicating they stuff from blog or what ever.

The ā€œnot receiving repliesā€ could partly be fixed by implementing a working webmentions for twtxt.txt

In-reply-to » @prologic well, I think OP mother tongue isnā€™t English, so certainly not an encoding I might be familiar with.

@prologic Thank
you! and hereā€™s a twt with the said random characters, since Iā€™ve been
cleaning them up manually, earlier before scp-ing my twtxt.txt file. And
maybe a screenshot of how things look in my editor? screenshot of neovim

Those new lines are added automatically as I type (except for the ones
after the screenshot.

In-reply-to » Thanks again @movq !! I have figured things out and set up Jenny and Vim completion following your blog post! Cheers!

Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com!

What the heck is going on with the encoding here?! The feedā€™s Content-Type header does not include any charset, but Iā€™m still relying on the official twtxt client to fetch and parse feeds. Havenā€™t noticed this with any other feeds. Where in the chain is this messed up? :-? Seems like the ā€œspaceā€ is the Unicode line separator U+2028, that we use for newlines.

Maybe WTF-8 encoding!?

In-reply-to » @prologic I might have mentioned this already but you might want to look into MoneroPay for payment processing when you get to that point with cas.run. It's a completely self-hosted backend service for receiving and tracking Monero payments and it's written in Go.

@mckinley Looks like XMR is much more stable than bloody BTC which is nice šŸ¤£

I took advantage of the last sunny, but also 25Ā°C hot day and hiked in the woods. It was so much more pleasant in the forest than out in the sun. The wind could have been a long stronger with that heat. I was completely soaked.

At one point I thought I better grab my camera out of my backpack, so whenever something comes up, Iā€™m ready. But I was too lazy and thought, well, I just wait until there is a nice subject and keep going instead. No joke, ten meters further I came across two squirrels. A red and a brown one, sitting on a tree at just one and three meters height two meters away from me. If I only had unpacked my bloody cam a few seconds ago! I just watched them sit on the tree and then tried to slowly strip my backpack and grad the cam. It was still booting up when they decided it was enough sitting around and climbed higher. What a silly move on my end, damn.

I tried to improvise some Lyse Street View, but felt really uncomfortable to photograph other peopleā€™s houses. Somehow my cam produced sooo many blurred shots on the way up still away from the village, itā€™s unbelievable. I scrapped nearly the entire project. Only very few survived. There were heaps of people on the mountain summit, so I quickly left again.

Looking forward to next weekā€™s rain and temperature drop to 16Ā°C or even 8Ā°C.

Just a few minutes into my walk I saw a raven chopping up a slow worm in three parts. :-( I rescued the reptile as best as what you can call rescue in that state. Crazy how the the tail and middle part kept on twisting hard for minutes. I didnā€™t see where the raven went hiding, so I can only hope it did not reattack after the slow worm went its way and I left the scene.

The small forest pond was covered in pollen, looked like a liming truck went by. And the other one with the duck was really oily. Way more than last time. Didnā€™t look healthy at all. :-(
