Bye bye Angsana! See you again next year hopefully 🤞
Nice view from up on the mountain side 😎
Bitcoin Reaches and Surpasses $100k USD
Bitcoin just broke $100,000 USD for the first time and reached as high as $104k, and is now sitting at $102,857 at the time of this writing.
Slashdot was pretty early on Bitcoin. Thoughts, nocoiners?

Haha, I never ran across this before: http://www.wtfpl.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wtfpl-strip.jpg
Today we got to explore the Imperial City of Hue amongst other places.
It’s hilarious seeing rats nest like this 🤣
in Vietnam’s Hoi An! 🤣 Thailand has very similar, not sure which is worse 😅
Just the same view, ocean and sand! 🤣
The beach itself is very nicely maintained on a daily basis however, unfortunately the sea is full of plastic and rubbish 😢
A cold and foggy day. 🥶

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Proof (close) 🤣
So, who’s doing Advent of Code? Had some fun this morning:
And how should we handle spoilers here on twtxt? base64? 😅
This resort, Angsana Lang Co has a big huge canal that goes right around the resort!
Here you go @bender@twtxt.net 😅
And look the wife and I got a welxome message on our bed 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net anyway, have a nice flight, take pics in Taiwan, show us! And… enjoy, everything is fine here.

I'm very glad that I decided to have a very long lunch break today. When I reached the summit, dark clouds came from the northwest and the sun was gone for the day. But on the way there I was delighted about all the beautifully blazing colors around me. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-11-25/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, such a lovely day! I also liked the cat very much.

Ready for takeoff. Just one more week to go. 🎅 #AdventOfCode
We had 5cm snow at our scout yard at 10 o’clock. But it was nearly fully gone when we called it quits after sunset.
In May we charred cloth to be used as tinder. A fire steel and some wood shavings lit the fire in under a minute. Maybe half. That was good fun. I reckon I have to replenish the charred cloth soon, though. It’s crazy how great that works. I’m absolutely amazed.
We cut back the thorny brushes for hours and eventually winched out some heavy fallen trees. That was really cool to see this powerful winch in action. Absolutely effortless. It was also a complete one man show. We couldn’t do anything and just watch. There is no chance that we could have moved the tree trunks up the steep hill with just man power. Well, a few dozen people might have made it with great struggle.
Next time we have to cut them into smaller pieces and split them into firewood or keep some for contruction. I will see whether I can safe some to cut some boards from. A sawmill would be really cool to have. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Gave it a try on Termux same thing @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt uses and it worked 👍
Interesting list of features to protect users and communities on bluesky. I wonder if any make sense in text context.

Trump Wins US Presidency For Second Time
Major media outlets are beginning to declare former President Trump the winner of the 2024 presidential election. As with previous election announcements on Slashdot, this is your chance to talk about it and what it means for the future of our nation.
Developing…

A simple medium experiment
Time for the annual profile picture change. 😅
Second pixelart I drew this year, expecting my least active artist award soon! 💪🏆
I have just made yet another convoluted twtxt notifications script! Feeling like an old dog learning new tricks! 🤣
And they have arrived (well, they did around 3 hours ago, LOL). Buttery smooth, my 16 Pro (one with dark cover). It took a bit over an hour to transfer all my data.
Alright. My first mentions—which were picked not so randomly, LOL—are @prologic@twtxt.net, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, and @movq@www.uninformativ.de. I am also posting my first image too, which you see below. That’s my neighbourhood, in a “winter” day. Hopefully @prologic@twtxt.net will add my domain to his allowed list, so that the image (and any other further) renders.
Beginnings of a little notebook app. Doesn’t actually run any code yet. https://akkartik.name/images/20240917-notebook.png
@prologic@twtxt.net earlier you suggested extending hashes to 11 characters, but here’s an argument that they should be even longer than that.
Imagine I found this twt one day at https://example.com/twtxt.txt :
2024-09-14T22:00Z Useful backup command: rsync -a “$HOME” /mnt/backup
and I responded with “(#5dgoirqemeq) Thanks for the tip!”. Then I’ve endorsed the twt, but it could latter get changed to
2024-09-14T22:00Z Useful backup command: rm -rf /some_important_directory
which also has an 11-character base32 hash of 5dgoirqemeq. (I’m using the existing hashing method with https://example.com/twtxt.txt as the feed url, but I’m taking 11 characters instead of 7 from the end of the base32 encoding.)
That’s what I meant by “spoofing” in an earlier twt.
I don’t know if preventing this sort of attack should be a goal, but if it is, the number of bits in the hash should be at least two times log2(number of attempts we want to defend against), where the “two times” is because of the birthday paradox.
Side note: current hashes always end with “a” or “q”, which is a bit wasteful. Maybe we should take the first N characters of the base32 encoding instead of the last N.
Code I used for the above example: https://fossil.falsifian.org/misc/file?name=src/twt_collision/find_collision.c
I only needed to compute 43394987 hashes to find it.
And here the Tommos camp with Mum and Dad in the trailor at Myall Lakes.
Boy I could tell you some stories here, like the time we got dozens of spiders all in the tent one night, and the time Dad yelled to Bob to get the red belly black snake that crawled over Brains sleeping bag. Up I jump grab a shovel and cut the head off. silly me !! We camped out with all our partners too.
Karen was treated like family with the 5 siblings and Mum and Dad. It was a great time. Happy camping James on your birthday!
Here is a picture of me aged 1 yr in a bucket at Muttabun Sheep Station, a place near Goodooga in NSW.
And here is James with Emily as a very young boy
Here is a picture of Sunshine House in 1970, I am the tallest one at the back. The house got a new roof and some more bedrooms before you lived here after Belmont Hospital.
The potato shed is fully insect proof and the tender leaves are untouched and uneaten by beetles.
Great idea, will we get potatoes and can I grow them all year round… Have to wait and see…. More larger shade houses to build to keep the beetles out.

#ARomariaDePortugal já começou, e não é coisa que costume divulgar, mas calha que este ano, no dia 6 de Setembro às 17h no Museu de #Lamego, vai decorrer o “Lançamento do Livro MEMÓRIAS ACADÉMICAS (Liceu de Lamego) de José Francisco Rica”, no qual participo com algumas das minhas memórias.
