@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, mate! These catkins are truly wonderful. So soft and fluffy to the touch. I love ‘em. :-)

I missed the 20°C on Friday, but I took profits of the 10°C this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-03-01/

Awwwww, sooo beautiful! Handmade tiles for a tiled stove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8hBf5b99Jk

I’ve exhausted my stock of 5x30mm wooden dowels. Looking online for supplies yielded tons of merchants who are out of stock, ship only to businesses, offer only insane quantities (minimum of 10kg) or charge overprice for absolute joke amounts.

None of my local hardware stores has them, they’re either also out of stock or generally don’t carry them at all. Same with long 5mm diameter round sticks in general. What the heck?!

I just make a “dowel iron” tomorrow, a steel plate with a sharp edged 5mm hole. Since I’ve got heaps of 6x30mm dowels, I just hammer them through. They will be smooth and not corrugated, but that’s totally fine with me.

Ta, @shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe. There are plenty of third-party libraries implementing XDG directories properly. My point was that the Go stdlib half-assed this.

@prologic@twtxt.net Lol, that huge, lit-up branding.

The magpies approve of the caravan, too. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy camping, mate! That’s a giant rig. Don’t forget to snip one or the other pic from the landscape. :-)

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, that brings back memories! I’ve played minetest one and half centuries ago. Some classmates and I tried to recreate our computer science building at the time. The proportions didn’t work out, but it still kinda worked. Minetest was one of the very few games I played a bit more extensively.

Can anyone recommend a command-line SQL query formatter? Unfortunately, sqlparse is also unsuitable for me: https://github.com/andialbrecht/sqlparse/issues/688

@bender@twtxt.net Holy cow, I didn’t notice the ice! :-O Thanks for pointing that out! I was just after the bee. :-)

33°C down to 3°C, wow. O_o What a drop. But it raises again dramatically during day, right?

I took advantage of the beautiful 14°C sunshine and decided to have a long lunch break: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-02-25/ When there was no wind, the thin jacket was actually too warm.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, very compliant electronical installation. The rain cannot harm it as the ports all face down!! :-D

As long as oneself remains fairly dry, it’s not a problem. But I find it annoying when the wet clothes rub against the skin everywhere.

It’s raining and raining and raining and raining. I had hoped my mate canceled the hike today. But he didn’t. He showed up. So, off we went to the Staufeneck Castle Ruin after having a lunch first. The rain drizzling on the umbrella was very nice and I was very glad that he dragged me outside.

It was super wet, though. Entire creeks were coming down on some path sections. A slippery, muddy mess on others. Our boots were already soaked a few kilometers in the trip. The important part was that the feet were warm, though, despite being wet. We barely met anybody in this lousy weather. So we had basically everything for us alone. That’s always great.

Visibility was poor the higher we got. At 13 a low hanging cloud was moving in, 14 is the result just three minutes later. We couldn’t see the castle 300 meters away anymore. No chance. It was really funny, because the houses in town at two kilometers distance were still visible. Poorly, but you could clearly make out the town. Not the castle, there was just a white wall of cloud :-)

On the way back, we warmed up with tea I brought along. After I dropped off my mate at the train station, I bumped into a fellow scout, so my wet feet cooled off completely in these 15 minutes we talked. The rainjacket mostly held up with the protection of the umbrella, just the sleeves were down. My rain trousers, on the other hand, leaked a little bit a the lower ends. I was glad when I could strip all the wet stuff. I would do it again, though. :-) Now, I’m swapping the newspaper in my boots every half an hour to absorb all the moisture.

Oh, our leaning silo laughs at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. :-D I’m wondering when it collapses. I’m waiting for this to happen for years now.

@iolfree@tilde.club I will take heed.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks. Unfortunately, the weather stations are quite far away.

I have to operate my own one. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, brilliant! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve got the same problem that you had the other day: finding past temperature data. But yeah, it looked much warmer than it actually was. Maybe 5°C? Possibly less when I found myself in the snow- and rainstorm in the end.

With the wind, my fingers were frozen. I should have worn gloves. Without them, I could only put my hands in the pockets of my jacket. That didn’t help much, though, because I frequently stopped to take yet another photo, so they cooled off again right away. :-D

Balancing the big/long, closed umbrella under my arm while I had my hands burried was also a little tricky.

First world problems. :-)

There was an endless coming and going of sun, clouds and rain. Not to forget about the wind. I called it quits a bit earlier and went into the woods.

Towards the end I was completeley surrounded by rain curtains in all directions. This looked super cool. I thought I might make it home just in time without having to use my umbrella, but the rain clouds were way quicker than I anticipated. Just after the rain hit me, I met an acquaintance who just started his walk. The wind picked up hard and rain hammered down, mixed with snow. Holding the umbrella was a workout. Shortly after I returned, the rain stopped again.

I didn’t notice the kestrel sitting on the tree when I took the last photo. That was a nice surprise when I sorted through the nearly 300 pics.
