Let’s just go with that view: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-wasserberg-und-das-fuchseck-2024-05-18/24.jpg

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 10 minutes. O_o Software problem, it can’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 didn’t help that my guiding abilities also sucked a bit and I took the wrong turn twice. Oh well, we just explored new paths I’ve never been on. That’s a win in my book. :-)

After a rest at the Wasserberghaus with a Spezi, we then decided to also visit the Fuchseck, since we’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 100 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. :-)

Here’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:

The first and hopefully not last thing I drew this year (drawn yesterday). Kinda minimalistic and Scribble Kibble inspired.

This is what the last couple of weeks have been like at work 🔥

I was able to dig up StarOffice 3.1, which I used in the 1990’ies on Windows 95. This was the highlight of my day. 🥰 As you can see in the photo below, this CD includes a version for Windows 3.1, 95/NT – and OS/2! How cool is that? My CD back then did not have the OS/2 version.

StarWriter of StarOffice 3.1 can do a lot of the stuff that I’m missing in the tool at work. Like automatic numbering of sections/chapters and cross-references to other parts of the document. Essential basic stuff like that.

All the following screenshots are from QEMU VMs (OS/2 2.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows 98), but I think I’m gonna install this on my real OS/2 Warp 4 box soon. 🧓

What really blew my mind is this feature, though: You can rearrange your document’s structure using drag-and-drop. Here’s a demo (Window 2000):

I really, really wish the tool at work would have a feature like that. It would have saved me so much time already. 😭

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha 🤣 The domain for that image is blocked on my local network 😅

Sorry not sorry ranger…

SuperFile a Pretty fancy and modern terminal file manager written in #go.

What’s all of this about? one may ask…

Well I’ve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD… It doesn’t matter. I just want to “Make it feel… Make it feel alive AGAIN!”

Hell yeah, this is some amazing bee stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgOYLDf5Wv8

@prologic Thanks 😅

This is my setup, I think I posted these before:

It’s a Celestron Ultima 100 (originally bought for bird watching, not a telescope) with a special adapter so that I can mount my Canon EOS 600D directly. The sun filter is just a generic filter for 100mm scopes. The tripod isn’t very good and actually rather annoying. 😂

It’s not a very complicated setup. 🤔 Being able to mount the camera directly is crucial.

I was able to take a photo of the large sunspots that made the news these days:

It’s not a super high quality shot, my scope isn’t good enough for that. Still cool to see. 😎

I just dropped another 124 useless accounts 🥳

Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesn’t make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!

@prologic@twtxt.net and @bender@twtxt.net for a start a single user twtxt/yarn pod could look like this 😉

This happens more often than I would like. 😢
