(#mm22y5q) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh, thatâs cool! :-) Feeding magpies seems to be an Aussie thing, the Cutting Edge Engineering Australia videos usually also include a cute magpie feeding clip.
@bender@twtxt.net Off you go to the magpie hunt! We wanna see Florida pies!
Today, I experimented with Linux Capabilities as a continuation to my Unix Domain Sockets research from a few months ago: https://lyse.isobeef.org/caller-information-via-unix-domain-sockets/#capabilities
I learned that I donât know hardly anything and there is heaps more to explore. Tomorrow, I will do the same in Go and see how that feels.
(#mm22y5q) @bender@twtxt.net See the problem is you donât live in the âbusyâ enough đ There are roaches everywhere here! đ€Ł LOL snakes too! Plovers, Magpies, Crows, Spiders, even Deer for fucks sake đ
(#mm22y5q) @bender@twtxt.net We have quite a few that are basically part of our friendly neighborhood. They knew we wonât chase them aware, scare them, etc. In fact some of us find little cockroaches to feed them, tose âem up in the air and watch them sweep in and grab the little suckers đ€Ł
(#qtvyika) @bender@twtxt.net Dunno đ€·
(#mm22y5q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net Theyâre both great đ
(#mm22y5q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hereâs my magpie đ€Ł
I got the magpie again this morning: https://lyse.isobeef.org/elster-2025-10-05/ 02 is at takeoff.
Oh great, I got two order confirmation e-mails. No, I didnât click twice, same order number, two different Message-ID

(#oedxsma) This âïž
(#72pp3ya) @alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it Thanks mate! Ah cool, now Iâm curious, what did you make? :-)
You used the rubber hammer to fold the metal, not to set the rivets, right? :-? I glued cork on my wooden mallet some time ago. This worked quite good for bending. But rubber might be even better as it is a tad softer. I will try this next time, I think I have one deep down in a drawer somewhere.

(#7ahwhrq) I experimented with a 2.4x7mm aluminium rivet I had on hand. As expected, it was quite a bit long. Using my pliers wrench, I was able to crush it down by quite some bit. I should have taken a photo right after the hand riveter for comparison. Now, itâs much smoother and the chance of cutting my hand open is reduced by quite a bit. But breaking the burr with a few file strokes is still necessary. I should get 2.4x4mm rivets and try with them. I reckon they would be more suited for my 0.5mm sheet metal.
With the pliers wrench again, I was able to also crush down the chopped off 3mm copper nail and form a second head. That was surprisingly easy. Now, I need to figure out how to efficiently make a head on the remaining copper nail shaft, so that I can use this again.
Both are rock solid, thereâs absolutely no movement at all between the two sheet metal cutoffs.
(#b2ry7ia) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Too bad. :-/
(#w2c5yxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yep, thereâs python3-tk
and a bunch more packages with extensions.
(#lrlkp2q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.
It should be. Maybe your distro splits it off. đ€
(#6wtfcsq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nope. I think they stayed only one year. đą
(#6wtfcsq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! Are there still chicken on this field?
(#lrlkp2q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I never programmed with Tkinter myself and itâs been ages that I ran a program which used it. I always thought that it looks awful. But maybe there are nicer themes these days. I just wanted to give the demo python3 -m tkinter
a try, but this module doesnât exist. I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.
(#6wtfcsq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de damn! those are some fine looking chickens đ
From the chicken archive, 2017.
Not mine, these were more or less free roaming chickens. Farmers didnât use some of their fields for a while and allowed some other farmer to let the birds live there in the meantime.
(#oddn4za) @prologic@twtxt.net Whoop whoop đ„ł
(#jgotecq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Xfce is nice, but itâs also mostly GTK. I donât really know the answer yet. For now, Iâll just avoid anything that uses GTK4.
For my own programs, I might have a closer look at Tkinter. I was complaining recently that I couldnât find a good file manager, so it might be an interesting excercise to write one in Python+Tkinter. đ€ (Or maybe thatâs too much work, I donât know yet.)
(#jgotecq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I was never a fan of GTK, because coming from KDE, it didnât offer remotely as much of customizability. What are you switching to, Xfce?

I suspect that the timing was just right. Or wrong, depending on how youâre looking at it. ;-)
(#cityvxa) @bender@twtxt.net Wow, youâre good.
It was an edit, within a minute or two of posting. I didnât think anyone would notice.
Thatâs what I call on it. đ

Itâs time to say goodbye to the GTK world.
GTK2 was nice to work with, relatively lightweight, and there were many cool themes back then. GTK3 was already a bit clunky, but tolerable. GTK4 now pulls in all kinds of stuff that Iâm not interested in, it has become quite heavy.
Farewell. đ
(#m2fpmoa) @bender@twtxt.net Who?
Solving this puzzle took me longer than I care to admit. Itâs kind of obvious in hindsight. https://movq.de/v/83e5aa0709/MVI_8895.MOV.mp4
(#mmahq2a) @bender@twtxt.net I donât think so, but I might give it a shot when the âofficialâ drivers no longer work at all.

All good things come to an end, I guess.
I have an Epson printer (AcuLaser C1100) and an Epson scanner (Perfection V10), both of which I bought about 20 years ago. The hardware still works perfectly fine.
Until recently, Epson still provided Linux drivers for them. That is pretty cool! I noticed today that they have relaunched their driver website â and now I canât find any Linux drivers for that hardware anymore. Just doesnât list it (it does list some drivers for Windows 7, for example).
I mean, okay, weâre talking about 20 years here. That is a very long time, much more than I expected. But if it still works, why not keep using it?
Some years ago, I started archiving these drivers locally, because I anticipated that they might vanish at some point. So I can still use my hardware for now (even if I had to reinstall my PC for some reason). It might get hacky at some point in the future, though.
This once more underlines the importance of FOSS drivers for your hardware. I sadly didnât pay attention to that 20 years ago.

Aachen has been officially certified as âBad Aachenâ, but for alphabetical reasons usually declines to use the prefix
â https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spa_towns_in_Germany#A
That made me chuckle.
Sieht ganz so aus, als hĂ€tte die gute @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ihre BĂŒchse mit in den Kurort Bad Gateway genommen.
Sorry, this pun only works in German, where âBadâ means spa and is used as prefix for spa towns.
(#ksl4yoq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de You should send âem this sample. ;-)
(#i6xj4wq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de It completely escapes me, too. I will never understand it, but people are just wired very differently.
