Slow progress: My hex editor now has an info panel that shows what’s under the cursor. https://movq.de/v/f9586ec65c/s.png
Another project where I’m going to use my terminal widget toolkit is a hex editor. This is still very young, obviously, and there’s a lot of work to do (both in the toolkit and this particular application), but I’m making some progress:
https://movq.de/v/2bae14ed16/vid-1769283187.mp4
Since this program is UTF-8 clean (I hope), you can do things like enter multi-byte UTF-8 sequences or paste them from the system clipboard (another hex editor I just tried failed to do this correctly):
https://movq.de/v/e9241034c1/vid-1769283755.mp4
Under the hood, I’m using mmap() with MAP_PRIVATE, which is really cool: I get the entire file as a byte array, no matter how large it is, no need to actually read it upfront; and MAP_PRIVATE means that I can write to this area however I like without changing the underlying file. The kernel does copy-on-write for me. Only when you hit Save, it will write to the filesystem. And it’s just a couple lines of code. The kernel does all the magic. 🥳
This one is a slightly more 3D looking, as well as the first one, with the tail swirled.
Great things happening over at the Xhitter.
the new logo is cute
Endlich habe ich das letzte der zehn deutschen “Stahlratte” Bücher von Harry Harrison. Jetzt muss ich es nur noch lesen. Zur Sicherheit die ganze Reihe noch einmal! 🤓
mobile navigation bar :3
ok so i have found a genuine twt hash collision. what do i do.
internally, bbycll relies on a post lookup table with post hashes as keys, this is really fast but i knew i’d inevitably run into this issue (just not so soon) so now i have to either:
1) pick the newer post over the other
2) break from specification and not lowercase hashes
3) secretly associate canonical urls or additional entropy with post hashes in the backend without a sizeable performance impact somehow

Drawn based on a quick doodle, the canine returns victorious, from the battle of Hot Topic bargain bin, as smug as can be.
Whoever will be the first to inform him, the spikes aren't real gold and it's most likely not even leather, meaning it's not what he's really been searching the universe for, better prepare themselves, to be jumped on, bitten and shredded by claws.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no, as mentioned this “diagonal arrow” eye shape, is usually used for a smug expression. The optional white part, is in this case, where the dogs sclera would be visible, while they have their eyes, like this.
Here is a comparison between a real dog, making the face it is based on, and the exaggerated drawn version.

we are now parsing and recursively fetching remote feeds somewhat successfully, gotta work on the media proxy and markdown way more, so so many fucky edgecases….my friend’s feed with like four posts parsed correctly so i tried this account’s feed and well now im not going to bed on time
search page, bookmarks page, improved thread view (that i will probably improve further), as well as a logo and a whole ui redesign. it is truly all coming together…were i to mark any items off the roadmap :p
and when suzuki airi world domination comes, you can consider yourselves ready because i showed you this video ;)
replies and following implemented! next step is further parsing of post contents, rendering threads, and then maybe i can finally start adding remote feeds…! though i kinda wanna redo the whole ui ^^’
Joining the Clippy profile picture club, now that I finally finished my custom one.
After around 3 years, I managed to make my “smallest recognizable canine”, even smaller. So here’s the all new, smallest recognizable canine 2.0:
My website has 0 depreciated tags now and all identical IDs, were merged into a single class. This also improves, how the text on top of the page, is aligned on mobile.
Just a random drawing
After drawing the bigger canine stickers, I also want to change my profile picture for summer, to something more fluffy, shaded and a bit smug looking.
Felt the need to make this stupid reference - nobody will get, most likely. Feel free to guess (the file name and todays date, are both a hint), any other notes and opinions appreciated too, idk if I ever drew a standing one, from the front, before.
Am Wochenende wurde mit Eisstielen, Stempeln und dem Lötkolben gebastelt.
Das Ergebnis sind Namensschilder für die Kräutertöpfe. Die unegale Optik finde ich sehr angenehm.
QR codes, already posted about them in the last two posts, but I want to hear your hot takes: Should they only be black and white, are they even worth doing in 2025, incorporating them into things,..?
Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!
I sent you my QR code, please respond!
*for context: long ago, there were some complaints, about some of my sitting drawings, where the legs are apart, not using dithering/more shading and one of my favourite artists, made a video, exploring the use of QR codes, in art
P.S.: the code just redirects to my websites

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org maybe 3D printed toys are the solution, to the dust collecting problem. My collection of 3D printed canines, just expanded today, with this new keychain:
I’ve been poking around with #Crowdsec for the past couple of days, had to deal with a lot of false paositives but I’m starting to get it. I’ve even hooked it up with #Ntfy just because I can. Now I should try making my own scenarios and see how it goes.
En estos momentos, no sé si un dios le está pidiendo que libere su pueblo felino o está mirando una paloma
smug woof
This one just occurred to me randomly.
The new toy has arrived and is ready to be cleansed of it’s pre-installed Win 10 pro (yuck!) …

Puh, eine Woche Städteurlaub in Dublin. Das schafft - vor allem die Leber! 🍻🥃
Viele Eindrücke, Gegensätze und wunderbare Menschen.
Jetzt heißt es wieder: Im Alltag ankommen.

Thank you @python_valencia@twtxt.python-valencia.es for letting me show you the secrets of a decentralised plain text social network like twtxt.
I hope you enjoyed the talk! ❤️🐍
My granddaughter will grow up much like me.
The rabbit hole is an interesting concept.
Mosfets are rapid electronic switches, to feed pulsed frequency amps into a transformer
Maxwell Chikumbusto has invented how to make power from the air, using frequency amps to make a load work normally using power from the transient energy in the air.
Sandy Kidd and others are making two spinning wheels make trust, defying gravity. This should be possible but the angle is critical to get right. Such motions are complex, my picture is poor.
Bit of an update, there is now a general licence for all my stuff:
“Unless projects are accompanied by a different license, Creative Commons apply (“BY-NC-ND” for all art featuring the Canine mascot and “BY-NC” for everything else).”
It’s even included on my website, where most of the demand for a clear licence originated from:
In practice this changes nothing, as I was never enforcing anything more than this anyway and given permission for other use too. Now it’s just official that this is the baseline, of what can be done, without having to ask for permission first.
