@movq (#x5rflva) Thanks, yeah the surrounding landscape is nice. But not so much the towns themselves. And of course I hide the ugly spots from all of you. ;-) Today was supposed to be very sunny, but the sun didnât break through the clouds at at. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2021-03-03/
@movq (#5i4erka) Oh, didnât know that. Anytime I got there, it just was visually terrible, so I didnât bother any further and closed the tab again.
Today I called it a day at 14 oâclock and went to the second highest local mountain by bike. Reducing 300 photos down to a much more manageable size of 62 took me an hour. And condensing them further, so family and friends can enjoy them, took roughly another half an hour. Now Iâm down to 35: https://lyse.isobeef.org/fahrradrunde-rechberg-2021-03-02/
@movq@prologic (#5i4erka) I never understood Reddit and thus never visited it actively. Only if I didnât pay attention and clicked on a search result.
@prologic@movq (#il72mbq) Thanks! Oops, you caught me. /o\ I reckon the good old Maggie bottle was left by the hunter on purpose to draw wildlife to the deerstand.
@prologic@jlj@darch (#s43mwpa) Hmm, Iâm always sceptical, if I have to register somewhere. Iâll take a closer look tomorrow. On the other hand, @jljâs Jitsi server sounds perfect to me.
@movq (#huaer3q) I started programming with Delphi and when I had a look at my old code, it was an awful mess, too. The worst and funniest thing I remember was when there was a time where I knew if, but didnât have a clue that I could use begin and end to group statements. So whenever I wanted to do multiple things on a certain condition, it was a copy-paste hell of the same ifs over and over againâŚ
@darch (#bakywta) Great ideas, mate! While reading this and looking at your UI mock again, I got the idea of placing all the actions on a message (reply, edit, delete) in the message âheaderâ on the right next to the author and time. This would save some space and provide more real estate for the actual contents. Since the messages are quite short, having to jump back for actions shouldnât pose a problem, I reckon. Not sure, how users with tiny screens will feel about this, though.
@off_grid_living (#sgsyaia) Ha, great blanket trick! I never came in touch with solar panels, but Iâm not sure, whether I had come up with this wonderful low tech approach if I had to.
@adi (#jlar35q) Well, thereâs always something. :-) Luckily Debian ships it, no need to get a Haskell build system set up here. Great recommendation, though, thanks mate!
@darch (#jlar35q) At first I looped over the images and then piped a linked image to the index.html. I then came back and added the header with Vim. But after a couple of times I wrote this: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/gelbariab/-/blob/master/gal (I just realized, that I havenât committed this simple helper, thanks for the reminder! :-))
@eldersnake@adi (#vxdabzq) No, please donât use drop down menus for day, month and year selection, this is a terrible user experience in my mind. Iâd just go with <input type=date>. At least Firefox 78 here has a pretty usable date picker. Iâd support some common date formats on the server side, just if the type=text fallback kicked in and a user submitted âdate free textâ.
@movq@adi (#jlar35q) I really donât mind it very much. In fact quality of life increased by not spending two and a half to three hours on the train each day (depending on whether they decide to run late or even cancel the connection). Every now and then I hike with a very close mate. Today we spent three and half hours in nature: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2021-02-25/ At least for me this is incredibly relaxing. I have to admit, I just started only recently to do this intensely.
(#i5jh2yq) Mozzies are annoying, but I donât mind spiders too much. Theyâre a bit ugly, but at least absolutely harmless in Europeâs petting zoo (except ticks). The parasites on 10 and 11 are mistletoes, @movq. Thank you, @prologic!
@movq@adi (#gylns4a) No idea about OpenBSDâs point of view, but thereâs also the ânever change a running systemâ faction. Privilege-separation sounds like a great thing in Got.
@movq@adi (#gylns4a) Itâs perfectly fine if you know and tried it and then come to the conclusion that you donât need or want it. Anyhow, writing stuff from the ground up is a wonderful way of learning and truely understanding the details and inner workings of something. Iâm looking forward to your insights, adi!
@movq (#gylns4a) I reckon it often boils down to: You donât know of what youâre missing out if you donât know what other things offer you or if you havenât tried them for quite some time. If youâre just having a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Regarding my work mates itâs more an extreme case of âweâve always done it this wayâ. I consider myself pretty conservative in that regard, too, since Iâve seen waaaay too much fucking hypetrain bullshit claiming to save the world and bring peace to mankind. But every now and then one needs to see beyond oneâs nose. Getting introduced to Git and DVCS in general was truely an eye-opener for me.
@movq (#gylns4a) Oh, theyâre offering Git over there after all. I thought, they were still stuck with CSV or SVN. Haha, reminds me of former work mates, who even two years ago swore on CSV as the very best and easiest VCS.
@movq (#wgc3afq) These deer are in a fenced-in area, but only yesterday I saw wild ones. However, no chance to capture those on film. Theyâre jumping way too quickly and are also well camouflaged in the underbrush.
