@prologic And probably be even more horrific. On a serious note, I believe this can be avoided, when done properly. But the incentives these days are such that nobody in companies actually care too much.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Exactly! What’s wrong with that? :-D

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Wow, crazy! Nice writeup. Let’s hope that Starlink doesn’t produce a similar data breach.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Not really an answer to your question, but I usually try to reduce the number of dependencies to a bare minimum in the first place. Of course this doesn’t always work out perfectly. If something becomes unmaintained there’s always the possibility to fork myself to either keep it at this version or maintain it a bit. Eventually, I probably move on to something else, though.

@prologic No, that feller was already there. We didn’t modify anything except from leaving out footprints in the snow. ;-)

@bender 60°C Lyse: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IcJmu5lWsv8/TqoN3gZhUQI/AAAAAAAAAG0/AhkySe5E7gU/s1600/melting.jpg (°C or °F doesn’t really matter…)

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Oh yes! I kind of doubt that curated search engines will get somewhere in the end. It’s just the sheer amount of rubbish that has to be gone through.

@justamoment I see. Proper fonts to the rescue. ;-)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @prologic Snow camping is really tempting, unfortunately, my sleeping bags are not rated for these temperatures. If I had a tent and planned ahead, I could try it this night, it is only supposed to get down to -2°C. On Sunday night/morning it should even reach -6°C. Brrr. Keep us posted with your snow camping adventure! :-)

@bender @jlj@twt.nfld.uk Thanks, mates! :-) Yes, seeing this for real is something entirely different. All the subtleties don’t show up on camera. Not just because of the white balance and snow causing everything to overexpose. But like clouds moving in at the summit and darkening the environment over there a wee bit. It’s only a tiny bit, but still just noticeable. And then looking the other way and observing that it is still brighter because the clouds haven’t reached that spot yet. Low hanging clouds are always super crazy to experience first hand.

As you can see in 01, when we reached the mountain foot, the view to the top was certainly not great but also not too bad, at least we could still see it. Finally up there, zero visibility, because of the clouds (16). It then cleared for a few seconds (17) at the same spot, but only barely. Closed up again quickly, the clouds still had us. The more we descended, the more the clouds moved on as well. Back down, the view from up top must have been heaps better again (at least we could see the flying flag once more). ;-)

All the ice crystals on the trees are really amazing. Super crazy to see what the wind managed to do, building up these beautiful structures.

Another thing that doesn’t come across is walking in the snow and ice. Unfortunately, you miss out on all sorts of different noises it produces and how it feels. Scrunch varies with powdery snow, frozen snow and hollow ice sheets. Also what I really like is how quiet it gets. Snow is an amazing sound dampener.

The wind made the flags raddle around, on our descend we got tricked numerous times and thought that somebody is coming up that snowy beaten track. Walking in that snow and the flying flag made almost the exact same sound. :-)

Sorry, @bender, I can’t think of a single word describing that. Even asked my parents and neither can they. If you eventually stumble across it, let me know. ;-) You can just translate it and say „das Unzufriedenheitsgefühl mit der derzeitigen Geschäftsleitung“.

Today’s hike photo gallery is mainly single-colored. Even with my good hiking boots I nearly slipped about twenty times. Paths were extremely icy. I reckon 14 and the video show a frozen spider thread, we’ve seen a couple of them, pretty nice. No icicles were visible far and wide, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, this is super interesting to see! Thank you very much, mate. Now that hook is cool, I’m surprised that it can extend the ink supply that long. Quite genious.

Holy moly, half an hour for a few lines?! This is really something. But the result is totally worth it. Your writings look amazing, let me tell you. I bet the receiver of the birthday card was incredibly pleased.

Do I read the wikipedia article correctly, drying takes around a day? This can’t be true, can it? Anyways, bring us joy with calligraphy in the future. :-)

If you’d take your time, @justamoment, your handwriting could be nice, too. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, cool. :-) Does your pen have an ink cartridge or do you dip it in an ink jar? The result looks very uniform, so I suspect the former, but I can’t be sure.

@prologic Hahaha, brilliant! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, I see. Although the two “E”s are quite a bit different, I can’t decide whether I prefer one over the other. They have both some very nice and unique features. How did you get into calligraphy?

Alright, at closer examination the “u” has a small prong in the left lower corner.

Fingers crossed, @jlj@twt.nfld.uk! And you didn’t have one, @xuu@txt.sour.is? :-D What the heck, seriously?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, even Fraktur! It took me brute force to decypher “Heute”, mainly due to the “H”. Both “n” and “u” look identical to me, so my brain tricked me into believing that it of course has to be an “n”. Looks quite beautiful, keep it coming.

@off_grid_living I can’t tell, are these steps brown or purple? What kind of wood is that? Nice garden!

This is completely deranged, but hilarious, I love it. Grinder Discs That Shouldn’t Exist | QUAD BLADE: https://youtu.be/qJEgi2tNJqI

@bender Great work, looking good, mate! I hope the third round goes equally smoothly.

@ychbn This is an interesting read, very cool!

Heck, yeah! Look who came to pay me a visit!

I should have closed the door to avoid the heat escape into the video frame.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Noice! Especially the first one looks like miniature wonderland. :-)
