In-reply-to » @lyse The sad thing here is that I've now banned and blocked Youtube at the network over here. I need a way to solve for "when someone links me to a Youtube clip" or "how do I fix X" Youtube tutorial videos. Those are the only two use-cases I can't easily find a good solution for. The addition however is gone, since now I just sync the family's (Kids, Wife, me) favourite Youtubers (channels) to my local Plex archive.

@prologic As a workaround, you can add Alex’s channel to your archive: https://www.youtube.com/@anengineersfindings If anyone of you likes engineering stuff, that’s certainly worth it. :-)

We participated with the scouts in the county cleanup day and even found a whole rubbish dump at the edge of the woods. Somebody must have dumped a whole truck load down the hill and burried half of it. We filled up a complete trailer with that. I reckon you can get much more out of this place.

Just in time for the start of the event, it began pouring down on us. It was very muddy, but still good fun. One cub scout said: “Oh, this is so cool! Walking around earlier on the paths and picking up trash wasn’t bad, but this here is really awesome. I really do enjoy it a lot. Look how much trash there is. Crazy!”

It took me half an hour to hose down all the clay from my rain jacket, -trousers and boots. What a mess.

In-reply-to » I've gathers my ideas about mentions for twtxt/yarn here: Webmentions vs. custom mentions spec for twtxt/yarn - HedgeDoc You are welcome to edit and comment in the doc, so our ideas are not fragment into a bunch of treads

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I do like the simplicity of Twtxt with the extensions we already have, so I personally do not have a need for some server-side mentioning. But I read through your proposal and fixed a few typos.

I wondered how a client would figure out the endpoint where to POST to.

In-reply-to » Thank you, for giving us a choice Microsoft Media

@thecanine Since they dropped the Linux “desktop” version, I have to use it in Chromium. What annoys the hell out of me:

  1. In a call with exactly two participants the “View” menu doesn’t do anything anymore. I cannot focus on the content of the screenshare and always have the silly screen space wasted on the right with a giant, useless other person’s profile picture. As soon as a third participant is in the call, the “View” menu works again. For months now. You can’t even make it the default in the settings.

  2. Over the last couple of weeks screenshares seem to get delayed for up to 20 seconds sometimes. I never experienced that before. This makes pair programming or diagnosing stuff very hard and way more time consuming than it should be.

  3. I somehow never find the chat box. With the old Linux client that was no problem, but since they moved it to the top, it always takes me several seconds to open it.

  4. Sometimes the first call in the morning ends up in total silence so I have to restart Chromium. It then works.

  5. On live events I have to completely remove all the cookies and login again, because I get the error message that I have to accept third party cookies. Even if the ten domains or so are explicitly whitelisted or all third party cookies are accepted. Always get the error. Each and every time.

In-reply-to » I can't believe software developers are still trying to get people to do curl | sh. It's easy to miss the problem if you're still in the mindset of Windows software distribution, but these people are writing software on GNU/Linux, for GNU/Linux. You would think they'd realize that this is never a good idea.

@mckinley Yep, so wrong on so many levels.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I just don’t want to run such crapware. Browser, mail client and video player aside, I think I don’t do too bad on that regard with my private stuff. Yeah, definitely ignoring the situation at the dayjob.

@prologic Only for Rust. Otherwise I stay away from that for sure.

In-reply-to » @mckinley I prefer not forcing people to go elsewhere to read things that relate here, within a context that exist here (a "yarn"). I have the feeling less than half will go read what you wrote on your notes---that includes me. I might be wrong.

FWIW, I read @mckinley@mckinley.cc’s notes. Because I know they are not only well researched, but also well written. I sometimes even end up spreading these articles to other mates who are not in the Twtxt universe. This only very rarely happens with regular messages here.

But yeah, I absolutely get your point as well, @bender. I also do not mind long messages over here. So I support you in increasing message length limits. :-)

In-reply-to » It's time to rebuild Newsboat again after over a year. Now I have to upgrade my Rust installation.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, Alexander Batischev tries to keep the Rust version bumps fairly moderate with Newsboat: https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/709

I was actually positively surprised that after the outlined rustup upgrade oneliner above, running make in Newsboat again worked flawlessly. Nothing else required. I delayed rebuilding for quite some time because I thought getting this Rust toolchain sorted out is going to be a major endeavor. Luckily, I was wrong. :-)

I just don’t know if I now have two Rust installations in parallel or not. Or how much disk space I waste with all this. At least the script didn’t tell me it found an old installation. It printed heaps of stuff, but skimming over it, I didn’t see anything like that. I then simply selected the regular install. Whatever that meant. Researching this topic will be a project for another day if I’m really bored.

In-reply-to » Analysing our electricity usage over the past 24 months and noticing some discrepancies with the supplier's data. Gaps, and flat out wrong values (e.g: solar feed in values at night?!)

@prologic No idea, in theory that could work. But I’d assume very low output. Or you just have extremely good panels. You could try to improve the yield by moving them under the street lamps at night. :-D

We rode our bicycles to the Reiterleskapelle (Rider’s Chapel). At first the sun was out but then it vanished behind the clouds. Icy headwind from the east and a subtle incline all the time made for a physically demanding journey there. The way home was rather quick and effortless. We could have used gloves, it didn’t feel like 14°C at all, not even close.

15 shows the drain pipe for the giant tree hole.

In-reply-to » Righto, I hand-planed seven crossbars, two uprights and cut the first crossbar to length and sawed/chiseled the first mortise for it. Just have to plane 14 more uprights and 25 crossbeams, cut 31 crossbars to final length and make 61 more mortises. And then the ladders for the laundry shelves are already done.

It’s finally up! Well, at least the first part of the L. Half way completed. I used just hand tools except for cutting and routing the sheets of OSB and drilling into the concrete wall.

In-reply-to » Not making THREADING the default view of e-mail clients and thus teaching users that e-mail is “chaotic” (if you get a lot of mail, it becomes unusable without threading) and “needs” full quoting all the time was one of the worst mistakes ever.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Today I actually received an e-mail à la “I reply directly to your questions down below in red”. Not the same, but I was still happily surprised. With my own plaintext reply I got rid of his nice color
 ;-)

The only upside with TOFU is that you can easily forward an entire conversation to somebody else. But these chains tend to be quite horrible to read anyway.

In-reply-to » QOTD: Do you keep a personal archive of Git repositories? If so, how? My backup system is a poorly written, inefficient shell script that I run manually when I think about it and I'd like to do something about that. The Yuzu and Citra emulators were taken down recently and I have a ~3 day old backup of Yuzu's repository but nothing for Citra.

@mckinley No, I don’t mirror code from others unless I work on that project, too. But then it’s all manual git fetch, nothing automated. If something is taken down or vandalised I hope that somebody else has a mirror and can help restore. This of course only works for popular code bases.

Good thought, though. I might have to look through my dependencies and identify candidates that might not have somebody who could help to get things back online.
