On my way home I went for an enormous detour through the forest to visit the tadpoles pond. There was a dead mole on the middle of the forest road, so I moved this poor little feller to the side.

Later, after a bend I ran across two very beautiful and large deer on the forest path. I immediately stopped and they stood around for 5-10 seconds looking at me before they slowly walked into the forest. Unfortunately, my camera was in the backpack. No chance, lighting would have been brilliant, though.

In-reply-to » I just checked on my little mates. It was already too dark for my shitty camera, so please excuse the crappy shots. One slough dried out, so those tadpoles didn't make it. :-( What a bummer! Especially considering one puddle on the forest path 30 meters further is still going strong. There were very tiny frogs or toads (not sure which) around the big tadpole pond, though. That was super cool to see. I have to come back the next days when the sun is still up.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s really terrible. No rain in sight until the weekend. And by then it will be next weekend, etc. Luckily, next few days peek at 22°C. Had some – luckily windy – 30°C today. Bwörks.

In-reply-to » TIL: There appear to be different whitespace collapsing rules in XML that – at least some of the parsers we used – don’t agree on. Some appear to expect that <a> </a> results in an empty string, others don’t. Well, .trim() it is, I guess.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, when I had to do XML back in the days, I also stumbled across this. I might mix things up, but when I looked it up (results are long forgotten, though), there were different rules for XML and HTML. And the behavior also changed with whitespace-only content vs. whitespace pre- and suffixes. Some were kept, others weren’t.

In-reply-to » I automated some really tedious stuff at work with two Python scripts today. It's feeling sooooooo much better now. Tomorrow, I need to figure out whether the two parameters can be automatically obtained via an API, so we don't need to open up a UI, search for the correct entries and copy-paste these values by hand. Invoking just one unparameterized make target to do all the stuff would be absolutely amazing. I'm wondering why we haven't already spent these two to three hours years ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de One and a half to two years ago we started with that thing, so we definitely waited too long. :-) I used it twice today and saved me a minute and a half in total I’d say. Absolutely worth it. One command and five seconds later I was good to go. No silly UI interactions or file edits anymore. Just waiting for this slow stuff (which we cannot control) to finish.

Heck yeah, it worked!

In-reply-to » Today our daughter has invited her friends over to celebrate her birthday in advance, so we're spending time doing that today :) Going to be a nice day!

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Happy birthday then! Hope you all had a great day and didn’t melt in the heat. (Still 23°C here at the moment at 23:00.)

Fun fact: In traditional Germany you must not congratulate in advance or it will bring ill luck to the person receiving the wishes. It’s still a thing these days in general. I haven’t found the reasoning behind that popular superstition, though.

In-reply-to » Once more, I’m toying with st. I actually might switch for real this time. My GTK/VTE terminal does work quite well (as long as I don’t port it from GTK 3 to GTK 4), but dealing with the nitty gritty details in st is just way more interesting. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm, strange. If it’s good software, I’m using it. Realisticly, no matter what in life, there will always be something by somebody who goes against my own principles. But that usually doesn’t make the product itself any worse. Btw. how did you discover that? I never go the discussion pages of articles. Do you?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Both wmi and wmii, too. :-) (But they fall into the category of dwm.) Right, my daily driver dmenu doesn’t need patches.

I got myself a new workshop rag. When I just stripped my sweat-soaked shirt after a bike ride I ripped a giant hole into it at the back. It already had some holes in the front that I sewed up in the past.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, nice! Yeah, maintaining an own fork seems like the way to go with suckless projects.

In-reply-to » It finally happened, the wind has changed. The planes are gone (for now).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ohh, right! I heard sometime that they try to climb very quickly for saftey reasons. If something goes wrong and they’re higher up, pilots have more time to troubleshoot and react before they hit the ground. Something like that. There are probably also plenty other factors, too.

In-reply-to » @movq The only thing I'm missing in urxvt is the zoom. For unknown reasons, one day (probably after a system update) urxvt on my work computer was suddenly slow as shit. I could literally watch the lines render top to bottom like decades ago. So I had to switch to GNOME terminal (because that was already preinstalled on the distro). It still rendered instantly, just like urxvt used to. Especially when presenting something to team mates, I find it very useful to increase the font size on the fly with ^+. But also every now and then when I get a bit tired it's nice to have a larger font. I reckon st is not capable of doing that either, or is it?

Heck yeah, I just found: https://github.com/simmel/urxvt-resize-font/tree/master Bloody awesome! \o/ Should have used a search engine years ago instead of bluntly assuming that it’s simply impossible.
