Happy to report that the neighbor has started playing Tschaikowski on their piano. And they’re getting really good at it! This is awesome. 😍

i switched my bookmarks site from espial (unmaintained project) to linkding, and while i’ll miss espial’s simplicity, i do appreciate linkding’s power and the provided API.

at first i got auth working with my SSO (authelia) and was happy, but i want my public bookmarks available without login… and i couldn’t configure my proxy to make that work, because of issues with sub paths, which sucks. so i switched to linkding’s built-in auth. inconvenient, but worth it to share my bookmarks.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahah so real right?

@bender@twtxt.net LMAOOOO

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org sooo pretty! sucks about the dead end tho

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s alright haha! i don’t expect anyone to listen/watch in full or with full attention bc it’s so long lmao

the thing with PHP for me is that i… feel like it hits a kind of simplicity that i can understand? it’s so plain but can be very powerful. i quite like that. as much as i can learn something infinitely more powerful, PHP hits a comfortable thing where i can handle things like backend sqlite DBs AND how a page is rendered, without requiring a complex frontend with its own quirks (like ruby on rails, which as much as i know and love it, can be heavy).

but i totally get you! PHP security is very scary. i’m always worried that i’m messing something up. it’s why the PHP application i’m working on i have dockerized by default for a small but extra layer of protection

i’ll try to not get discouraged tysm for your advice

@prologic@twtxt.net i will try my best if it happens again! it seems it goes in and out and things eventually come back - i just logged on this morning and i do see new twts but not past ones. so when it happens again and i notice i’ll try to trace logs

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an interesting premise in that article:

The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.

This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.

If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m more worried about Dustin Curtis’s take on Thoughts on Thinking piece 🤔 It’s a worrying time we’re facing, where all human creativity, critical thinking and having to “think” at all just goes out the window 🪟 wow 🤯

@prologic@twtxt.net I hadn’t considered this particular scenario, no.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I kind of need some more details if you can. Logs, observations anything! Please 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I mean are you surprised? 😮

Wanna read something very scary?

Zum Entsetzen aller Beteiligten, wie auch umstehender Personen und einiger schamfreier Gaffer, welche sich an jenem tosenden Unheil zu ergötzen vermochten, folgte nun des Wochensortiments schrecklichste Geißel: 𝕯𝖊𝖗 𝕸𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖆𝖌.

Und es sollten sich die Wolken teilen, um über ihnen nimmer endende Irrungen und Wirrungen an bovinem Fäkal und fremdgetriebener Lethargie zu erbrechen, auf dass sie zu erkennen gezwungen wären, welche Urkraft der irrealen Zusammenkunft letztlich Herrschaft über sie darstellen sollte: 𝕯𝖆𝖘 𝕭𝖎𝖑𝖉𝖙𝖊𝖑𝖊𝖋𝖔𝖓.

So zogen sie alsbald hin, zu tun wie ihnen geheißen, wohlgleich sie – diesem Schauerspiel trotzend – Trost suchten im einzigen ihnen sicher geglaubten Elixir, das dem Abgrund unter ihnen gleichend tiefschwarz glitzernd Erlösung oder mithin als Mindestmaß Linderung versprach, lag jenes doch in unmittelbarer Nähe befindlich hoffnungsschürend bereit:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, that sounds pretty good!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What a wonderful present! Crazy how time flies.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m glad you like that raven. :-) This is the original for when you get a screen as big as an entire wall one day: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-05-16/01.JPG

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I only listened to you while going through my photos, so I did not pay very close attention. :-)

Since you have a proper server – haha, not just one – and hence are not limited, I suggest you learn a real programming language and don’t waste your time with this PHP mess. It might have improved a wee bit since I was a kid, but it felt like some hacked together shit. The defaults also were questionable at best, it was easier to hold it wrong than right. This stands testament to bad design and is especially terrible from a security point of view.

You’re right, programming is like any other craft. You only truly learn by actually doing it. And this just takes time. Very long time to master it. Or as close to as it gets. The more you know, the more you realize what else you don’t know (yet). It’s a never ending process. So, take it easy, don’t get discouraged, happy hacking and enjoy the endeavor! :-)

We had sun, clouds, wind, rain and a whole lot of fun on our trip to the Wasserberg. We’ve been out seven hours in total, not bad at all for all those kilometers. We added on some detours to check out a pond I’ve been introduced by a mate a few years back.

After some (expensive) tucker at the Wasserberghaus, we tried to actually visit the summit this time. However, there’s nothing to see, just a rough logging trail (46-49). That was a dead end, so we had to turn around. It was some nice exploring, but I reckon this was my first and last time up there. :-)

Unfortunately, we didn’t go to the neighboring Fuchseck this time, only the Wasserberg with some extras.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is the way. Tell your pod I am very proud of them! 😂

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz This is way too long for me to watch in its entirety, but: “Ugh, talking is weird” – I feel that, very much. 😅

(Where is there no bass emoji in Unicode? Pah.)

And to finish the day: Om Live at Pioneer Works 🤘 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwnDKcoVHmY

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That bird pic goes right in the wallpaper collection. 😍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org He was a gift. 💚 Hatched in 2007. 🐣 Will be allowed to drive this year.

@prologic@twtxt.net yayyyy :D

@prologic@twtxt.net my pod does whatever it wants at this point

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Watching your vlog right now 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Hmmmm? 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I just got a bit bored 🥱

i recorded and posted another vlog yesterday :] https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=UNwsVI9yp

whys my feed back to showing like 5 twts

i have a blog roll now! with a single yaml file! https://eunoia.sayitditto.net/blogroll/

@prologic@twtxt.net a couple of days?!?! and to learn that omg are you studying for a phd at nasa

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Haha I did that for a couple of days last week 🤣 What was I doing you ask?! 😅 Studying and learning how Artificial Neural Networks with Evolutionary Adaptation work 🤣

morning yarn verse, i was up for 20 hours yesterday and i got 4 hours of sleep today. FML

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org BIG tux!!!!!!!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow! This giant Tux is just fucking amazing, I have to say. Even a bricked Tux and a GNU!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I AM GOING TO CRY THEY’RE SO CUTE T___T THE SILLIES….. i’m so jealous i want my own little tux family!!!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Actual family photo:

I have another one on my keychain and a small one in the car. And this little guy is probably hard to spot in the photo, because he’s just 1cm tall:

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yup, we got lucky. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Things in general just sitting around collect dust. Granted, plush is an even worse dust magnet. We badly need some anti-dust material. ;-)

Nice, did you print this keychain yourself?

@bender@twtxt.net Hahahaha! :-D

@bender@twtxt.net LMAO

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Cool! 😎 Mind joining the same IRC space? 🙏

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you just described me, according to my wife. 😅😂

Honestly for these types of services, there probably isn’t much point, as the layer4 module in Caddy doesn’t do inspection/filtering anyway I think? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net It’s still a straight-through to the Eris backend that itself uses a Let’s Encrypt cert now. Haven’t tried to also terminate TLS at the Edge yet.
