@iolfree@tilde.club Oh dear! All the best to this feller. I wouldn’t want to trade places with him.

We covered quite some ground in the two and a half hours today. The weather was nice, mostly cloudy and just 23°C. That’s also why we decided to take a longer tour. We saw four deer in the wild, three of which I managed to just ban on film, quality could be better, though. My camera produced a hell lot of defocused photos this time. Not sure what’s going on with the autofocus. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-07-10/

When the sun came out, colors were just beautiful:

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net That’s what I thought as well, sounds way too expensive to me. But I have no idea what the prices are over here. Probably also astronomical. Campers sit around most of the time, one really would need to use them a lot to justify spending so much money on them.

But yeah, each to their own (expensive) hobbies. :-) I, for example, burn my money on tools that I don’t really™ need. :-P

@bender@twtxt.net An older Firefox on Debian.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This one is too bleeding edge for me, not even my browser can render it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I couldn’t agree more! It’s far from easy. I’m not free of this guilt either. But I’m hardly trying.

We got some colorful spots in the sky this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-07-08/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’d love to have a Python script pushing my local CSV, too. But that’s never gonna fly, not in a thousand years. I can’t imagine that ever becoming reasonably stable without having to fix everything after the reverse-engineered API changes again.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ta!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, luckily, there is the suckless project. I couldn’t live without dmenu!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, it’s a shitshow. MS overconfirms all my prejudices constantly.

Ignoring e-mail after lunch works great, though. :-)

Our timetracking is offline for over a week because of reasons. The responsible bunglers are falling by the skin of their teeth: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/timetracking.png

1. The error message neither includes the timeframe nor a link to an announcement article.
   
2. The HTML page needs to download JS in order to display the fucking error message.
   
3. Proper HTTP status codes are clearly only for big losers.
   
4. Despite being down, heaps of resources are still fetched.
   

I find it really fascinating how one can screw up on so many levels. This is developed inhouse, I’m just so glad that we’re not a software engineering company. Oh wait. How embarrassing.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Happy birthday and good health! :-)

Yesterday’s moon through the window: https://lyse.isobeef.org/mond-2025-07-06/

I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! :‘-(

At work, too. For a few weeks now when I try to log into this horrible Outlook web intershit (Because why would they fix the Evolution integration?! It’s cactus for well over a year now. Probably more like two.), it forwards me to the corporate weblogin, I enter my credentials, even do the bloody MFA crap and get redirected back to Outlook. “Loading mailbox…” “Please wait for us to log you out, do not close this window while this process is underway.” Fuck you! I have to delete the cookies for this damn domain each and every fucking time. Otherwise, this goes in circles forever. I tried the game for 15 minutes, no joke.

But wait, there’s more! Why just fuck it up only a little bit? This week I get logged out at the middle of the day. Every. Single. Day. Not even close to eight hours since I started, no. What the hell!? I reckon I just don’t even bother reauthenticating anymore in the arvo. No more e-mails for Lyse after lunch. Fuck it. It’s just distraction, anyway, right?!

It wasn’t all that busy tonight. Maybe also 500 fireflies, but the route was longer. Not sure if I accidentally kicked a frog or toad one and a half meters away or whether it jumped on its own. It was too dark to see properly out of the corner of my eye. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Willsch a bissle Eis schlotza? https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/badenwuerttemberg/swr-schwere-hagelgewitter-weisse-strassen-in-sipplingen-100.html

The lid is on and the first saw brackets are done. Let’s see how impractical they are. I might have to add heavy chamfers to better guide them in.

I added 07 to 11: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/hobelbankschubladen/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net I never saw that. Neither the website nor the logo. I like the old one more, although I have to admit the story behind the new one is actually really cool: https://www.sudo.ws/about/logo/

I didn’t manage to leave the house yesterday. But when I went into the woods this evening, activity first was 10% of what it had been the day before yesterday. By the end it got a lot busier, about 50% of last time I reckon. Around 500 fireflies I’d imagine. I might have been faster than the days before. When I left the forest, I was right in the fog, that was cool.

Shortly after, I saw another lightshow. Right behind the Wasserberghaus somewhere on the Swabian Alp there was very crazy heat lightning every 5-10 seconds. That looked absolutely amazing. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I love them! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net This looks really nice! I love the view. For a brief second, the rock in the left bottom corner of the first photo reminded me of a croc tail. These are some massive cliffs, I get the impression that walking down there feels cool during the heat. Yeah, it’s winter over there, but it cooled me off by just looking at it. :-) Oh no, somebody lost their hat.

Heck yeah, I’ve been a firefly taxi again! \o/ One landed on my hiking boot and rode along a few meters. It then took off on its own without me having to help it. I saw easily a thousand glowing individuals tonight, bloody cool. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I first wondered how the lists could be ever improved, but then b.png shows the better approach with the inset boxes on the left. No surprises there. Very clearly communicated.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ah! I see there is now some competition going on between the Tux avatars. ;-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s an interesting concept I never heard of before. Though, as a German, my data protection kicks in. ;-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Which one(s) are you looking right now?

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh cool, completely disconnected is the best! Looking forward to the photos. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the crash killed it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, flat UIs are broken! I’m used to that by now, but it’s still more work to recognize than when there are borders around buttons, etc.

These are lists in your Inkscape example, right? (I’m too lazy to start Inkscape myself and look at it. And writing this took longer than just seeing for myself, but here we are. I met up with one of my best schoolmate this morning and it’s fucking hot already. So I blame the heat.) Nested tabs are probably an own death sin in itself. I know, I know, the upper ones can be made into windows and dragged around, but still.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, it’s been a while. Didn’t feel this long, though. Not at all, I’m quite surprised. :-O

But like with every quality content, there is no publishing schedule. Eventually, @mckinley@mckinley.cc will write another article for all of us. :-)

I was wondering: What the heck is the light on my boot!? Turns out between sock and shoe tongue was a firefly, unbelievable! ;-D I’ve no idea how that happened. After untying, it took me five attempts to finally get it off. How crazy!

Watching several hundred glowworms tonight did not get boring. It’s just so damn cool. :-)

I went to the firefly party again and checked them out on a different path. Boys and girls, there were so many of them! Apparently, I took the wrong turn and the numbers dropped. Still several hundreds if not over a thousand, but I’m spoiled now.

On the way there I noticed an absolutely spectacular sunset. However, I didn’t bring my camera. Should have peaked through the closed shutters before I left.

It turns out the disco music from the next town over wasn’t only audible in the forest but is also free-to-air in my bed. :-( It’s earplugs time.
