In-reply-to » hey yarn pod hosting friends, how do i enable an SMTP relay in the env settings? i'm trying to get a friend on here and i'm pretty sure my env config is good but it won't send emails even after restarts which is strange. i have the right hostname for mailjet, user and pass are in there, same with from address, i'm wondering if the port is messing it up bc it has to send from 587?

@@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ok nvm just temp enabling registrations for this bc it just won’t work lol i’ll play with it another time

i’ve been transitioning CLI text editors from nano (godforsaken editor) to micro (normal and not overly opinionated to the point where i feel like i’m defusing a bomb trying to learn its keybindings) and the only weird thing is that i can’t get it to persist an alias from nano to micro when i run sudo despite me configuring that. well at least on my servers, it persists on this machine. idk i’ll look at it later

In-reply-to » The fact that the official Python docs don’t clearly state what a function returns, grinds my gears. This has cost me so much time over the years. You always have to read through a huge block of text.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woah it’s like a cheatsheet with explanations! java is kind of arcane magic sorcery to me so i’m having trouble understanding it but i have that with most programming languages. this is like so much easier to actually look at and read instead of my eyes glazing over lol

In-reply-to » i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it's just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it's an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it's capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn't gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i'm ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i'll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh nah it came out like that lol! i actually love how squished it looks it feels accurate lol

oh yeah i think i might have a tripod around but i do need a sandbag or something i could use as one. maybe yeah a giant bag of rice could work LOL. thanks for the tips!!! i took a video class last year in college and we worked with cameras and tripods with sandbags so it was on my mind

In-reply-to » need to come up with ideas for camcorder videos... i have one but it's just 'talk in front of camera about fave songs i listened to in 2024' and i wanna do more fun things even though rambling in front of cam is already fun af

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

In-reply-to » fighting for my life trying to learn golang WHAT THE FUCK IS A POINTER (rhetorical)

@prologic@twtxt.net oh it’s ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i’m having but i will figure it out!

my friend is getting into snh48 and its sister groups and it makes me miss being a fan but my oshi (shen mengyao) graduated so i don’t have any reason to follow them. but the thing about snh48 is that it’s a group full of messy toxic lesbians with mental problems so there is always some wild ass drama going on. you can never leave snh48 standom

In-reply-to » my camcorder battery & mini dvds came in the mail so i did a test recording! it's so cool i love the crap quality. i do hope the memory stick arrives soon though because for the discs i can't get them on my computer (not even a rom drive filesystem mount) without "finalizing" the disc which is like an old camcorder thing. i still think i'll prefer disc recording though even if a limit of 30 minutes (or longer for lower quality) is strict. i like limitations like that

@@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz anyway when i get the memory stick i will record something silly and exclusive for yarn friends i can’t wait <3

@@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

@@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think what i love about “retro” (relative to me because i was born 2004) is that it has friction but in a different way than modern tech does. sure there’s friction with getting a video from your phone to a computer unless you’re a nerd like me with android and syncthing. but not only is that something that could be but isn’t easier, it’s just… it makes sense for a camcorder from ~2009 to have the kind of friction it does
