GTK2 about to be removed from the official Arch repos: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/2BDHYLEFSYQBDTMUOZT5J6AFTA5M3FO6/
It’ll probably all be dropped to the AUR, so I can build this myself, because I still have some stuff that depends on it (and will never receive further updates).
The most infuriating 3 seconds of using this Mac every day are the first time I run man and it calls home to see if I’m allowed to do that.
Der ganze Vorgang ist archetypisch für die seit Jahrzehnten völlig ohne Not stattfindende politische Selbstverzwergung Europas.
A comment on heise about the recent AWS outage.
(Too bad there’s no good translation for the great word “Selbstverzwergung”.)
I’m paraphrasing: Europe (and other regions) depend on US IT services, a lot, without an actual need. We saw AWS, Google, and Microsoft build large datacenters and then we thought “welp, shit, nothing we can do about that, guess we’ll just be an AWS customer from now on.” Nobody really went ahead and built German/European alternatives. And now we completely depend on the US for lots of our stuff.
The article even claims that there’s now a shortage of sysadmins in the EU? I’m not so sure. But I’d welcome it, makes my job more secure. 🤣
Hosting services, datacenters, software, everything, it’s all US stuff. Why do we accept this, why not build alternatives …

What’s broken™ on my system that makes a little “door” show up in YouTube’s progress thingy? Happens in Firefox and Chromium. https://movq.de/v/f03f47afcc
you might here some folks talking about dendritic nix modules, but around here we just call them flake parts.
i’m torn between git-daemon and using a forgejo to store my flakes. i can do authz using yggdrasil addresses, but that’s basically the limit. maybe that’s not a bad thing.
I got the magpie again this morning: https://lyse.isobeef.org/elster-2025-10-05/ 02 is at takeoff.
And my new migrated blog is up woohoo 🥳 https://prologic.blog/
That Manton guy is so incredible dull, not even funny: https://www.manton.org/2025/10/03/apparently-there-was-some-drama.html
Sieht ganz so aus, als hätte die gute @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ihre Büchse mit in den Kurort Bad Gateway genommen.
Sorry, this pun only works in German, where “Bad” means spa and is used as prefix for spa towns.
Autumn and magpie around the corner: https://lyse.isobeef.org/elster-2025-10-02/
There was a monster in the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-10-01/
is the first url metadata field unequivocally treated as the canon feed url when calculating hashes, or are they ignored if they’re not at least proper urls? do you just tolerate it if they’re impersonating someone else’s feed, or pointing to something that isn’t even a feed at all?
and if the first url metadata field changes, should it be logged with a time so we can still calculate hashes for old posts? or should it never be updated? (in the case of a pod, where the end user has no choice in how such events are treated) or do we redirect all the old hashes to the new ones (probably this, since it would be helpful for edits too)
I finally solved the loading issue in my WIP reader, TwtStrm (and apologies again to anyone that got spammed while I was diagnosing the issue).
After another round of coding this weekend, I’m happy to report that it now renders all the twts (with markdown parsing), complete with localstorage and server-based file caching.
For a very first attempt, I’m extremely happy how this tray turned out: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/blechschachtel/ The photos look rougher than in person. The 0.5mm aluminium sheet was 300x200mm to begin with. Now, the accidental outside dimensions are 210x110mm. It took me about an hour to make. Tomorrow, I gotta build a simple folder, so I don’t have to hammer it anymore, but can simply bend it a little at a time.
Oh man, if the EU actually rolled out this horribd idea called ChatControl that actually threatens the security and privacy of secure e2e encrypted messaging like Signal™, fuck me, I’m out 🤦♂️ I’ll just rage quit the IT industry and become a luddite. I’m out.
TNO Threading (draft):
Each origin feed numbers new threads (tno:N). Replies carry both (tno:N) and (ofeed:<origin-url>). Thread identity = (ofeed, tno).
(tno:N) (implicit ofeed=self).(tno:N) (ofeed:<url>).tno locally for new threads, copy tags on reply.…
Whooooaaaah, I just accidentally found out that VLC can play 360° videos and I am able to pan around! Crazy shit. I actually scrolled in order to adjust the volume like it usually works, but it zoomed in and out instead. Then I saw the title hinting at the 360° stuff. Even though this is not my cup of tea, it’s nice that VLC supports it.

I’m happy to report, after the successful remix of System Of A Down with the Nooran Sisters from India in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi106DZJhuQ I stumbled across something almost equally great from Pakistan, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZYG-9usGPI It’s a banger! The girls are unmatched, though.
Warum ist es nur so kniffelig ein Sudoku-Rätsel zu erstellen?
Ich meine nicht, das Erstellen eines komplett ausgefüllten Sets, sondern das Leeren der Felder so, dass ein einigermaßen herausforderndes Sudoku mit nur einer Lösungsmöglichkeit entsteht. 🤔
What a crazy color temperature this yellow orange was in person! Sick lighting this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-15/
wait why are so many of my post hashes not generating correctly ;w;
edit: i read the spec wrong :3 only +/-00:00 is stripped, not the entire timezone offset >.<
I corrupted my SQLite test database with sed -i s/… $(find …). Clearly, I found too many files. That’s the signal to go to bed.
Great. Yet another messed up plain text e-mail part. The URL was actually HTML-escaped. Took me five attempts to figure this out, because of course it had to be several kilometers long. In fact, the e-mail stated: “Please do not be surprised that the link is particularly long. It contains your personal configuration.”
A normal person is completely lost (that’s why I got involved). Visting the broken URL opens a popup dialog suggesting to deactivate script blockers. Which I had already done upfront as a matter of prudence.
Fun bonus on top: The JWT in the link has identical iat (issued at) and exp (expiry) claims. The expiry is definitely not checked, it’s well in the past.
Medical software just has to be horrible. It’s a law.

Oh là la, tant de super sites à découvrir!!! https://smallweb.cc/
This website is insane! So much coolness in this, love it! https://ellesho.me/page/
J’en ai profité pour changer l’ip du serveur : 2001:41d0:fc19:e400::5137. 5=s, 1=i, 3=e, 7=t
On m’a fait remarquer que mon serveur n’était pas accessible en ipv6… Merci! Je ne m’en apercevais pas depuis chez moi. Encore une histoire du firewall obscur de mon routeur :/. Là, normalement, c’est bon. ???
Lol, what an ending! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylHq9QUOUW4

i love htmx i just need to find somewhere to use it
Thanks to a blog post by ~solderpunk and the presence of ImageMagick on my pubnix, all of my weirdcore art (apart from the animated works) is now under 32K in size! Honestly, I’d say the lower JPEG quality actually adds to the vibe of the images: something from the early web, taken permanently out of context and long forgotten.
Unfortunately, it’s not as sharp as I’d like it to be: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-07/
