I just had a closer look at https://git.mills.io/prologic/mu and it motivated me to do some compiler building myself again. Hopefully, I find some time in the next free days. I’m bad at it, but it’s always great fun.

Oh great, I received an e-mail that my SMTP credentials have been exposed. Once again, just another shitty scanner that generates garbage reports from tests it doesn’t understand. Thank you for nothing!

conf := &Config{
    SMTPHost: "smtp.example.com",
    SMTPPort: 587,
    SMTPUser: "user",
    SMTPPass: "hunter2",
    SMTPFrom: "from@example.com",
}

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de A crocodile had bitten the big submarine internet cable that connects Australia to Europe. The investigations revealed that some construction work last week accidentally tore up the protective layer around it. That went unnoticed, unfortunately, so marine life had an easy job today. For just 40 minutes, they were quite fast in repairing the damage if you ask me! These communication cables are fricking large.

Just kidding, I completely made that up. :-D I didn’t notice any outage either. But I didn’t try to connect to Down Under at the time span in question.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very nice! I often wish other languages had something similar. Sometimes, I use lambdas, but that also looks ugly and feels a bit like a misuse. Other times, just the normal blocks are enough, but it’s not the same. Especially with the mutability aspects as the article explains. Typically, I just put it in a function or ignore it if it’s just a few lines.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, cool! :-) Yeah, it’s very wild what is happening under the hood all the time.

Wow, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, so many tables. No idea what I expected (I’m totally clueless on this low-level stuff), but that was quite an interesting surprise to me. https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-21/0/POSTING-en.html

@kiwu@twtxt.net Ta, same to you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, a table of contents is indeed a great idea!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting. I never found a big use for these kind of lists in general. But I might give it a shot again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure what it had in its beak. It looked a wee bit like a large biscuit. But it must have been rock-hard.

@kiwu@twtxt.net I’m doing great, how’re ya going? Just two more days and then I never have to work anymore. In this year.

I just baked two trays of gingerbread. One definitely good one and another experiment.

This morning was also super pretty: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2025-12-19/

Magpie and sunset: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-12-18/

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe I think I never watched it. In any case, enjoy reading your books.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Neither have I. :-D

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe These are all Debian release names: https://www.debian.org/releases/

• Bookworm is current oldstable
  
• Trixie is current stable
  
• Forky is current testing

That’s some cool science in @xuu@txt.sour.is’s backyard: https://youtu.be/bzBcs0jv9G4

Right at sunset we went for a quick stroll into the woods. Cannot complain about the colors in the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-12/

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Time to become a trixie or forky!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes, exactly. It also blows my mind that with sooo much less budget and equipment, her videos are way superior to productions of big TV stations.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Anytime! Glad you like it, too. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I see, ta! :-)

We got a very colorful sunset today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-09/

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! And foggy as heck, very beautiful! Or is this smog?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The terminal colors change quite drastically, but not the photo. Interesting.

Fuck me, soooooooo beautiful! Awwww! :‘-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYfKgi133qo

This focuses more on the landscape part, other episodes also have amazing interactions with the locals. I cannot recommend the Itchy Boots channel enough. It’s in my top three channels of all time I believe. I hardly get the travel bug, but this has now changed. Watching Noraly’s videos brings me great joy. It also shows humanity is not lost, contrary to what one might think in this crazy world. :-)

Caution, this channel gets very addictive!
