My mate and I went on a hike earlier. Yesterday, we had lovely 12°C. But today, it was down to at most 4°C. Oh well. At least the sun was out and and there was just a tiny bit of wind. We knew upfont that scarf, beanie and gloves were mandatory. Especially at the more windy sections like up top the hills. The view was absolutely terrible, but we made the best of it.

With the sun shining on us during our lunch break at a forest edge bench, we still enjoyed the lookout in 01. I brought some old carpet scraps to sit on and was happily surprised that they isolated even better than I had hoped for. Some hot tea helped us staying warm.

After five hours we returned just after sunset. I’m quite tired now, completely out of shape.

When Go was registered with the International Mind Sports Association alongside chess and bridge, organizers had to adopt the American Go Association’s rules because the East As … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » With RAM crazy prices being what they are, I guess my PC is gonna be stuck on 16GB RAM for some time. I originally bought the DDR4 16GB kit for like $49 AUD, and I thought I'd just buy another 16GB or more later down the track (this was like a year and a half ago), thinking it would be similarly priced or even cheaper...

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yep sounds about right 🤔

Boy was that a mistake in hindsight LOL. The same kit is like $229 AUD now….

In-reply-to » very good blog post that reminded me why it's taking so long to ship bbycll — previously i had computed the hashes of every post before storing them in the database, after realizing it's a much better idea to compute the hashes during runtime and only store the post content & timestamp i'm now having to rewrite every function that reads & writes data. i hope the reason as to why i lost motivation is obvious — thankfully i caught it early enough so that once i'm done rewriting just those functions i should™ be able to finalize 1.0-rc with little hassle

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org while caching those is a good idea the problem is baking data that can be calculated into the database instead of some cache, because post hashes are not fixed and change for every post edit. you can always easily look up other twts by hash with a cached lookup table, but now you’re not locked into them so supporting hashv2 or other hash variants or any other solution becomes far easier
