Unfortunately, all pictures of the first subject turned out to be blurry. Luckily, my collection of much nicer sunsets is rather huge.

(#kzrb3qa) @prologic@twtxt.net Only if it’s Battle Chess. 😃
(#kzrb3qa) I play chess, is that considered retro gaming?! 😆
(#5q5kh5q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha that sounds like so much fun for the kids 😆
(#5q5kh5q) @prologic@twtxt.net Had a scouting game with the scouts today. The story was that some leaders didn’t want to let go their older kids to the next section and thus stole and hid the new neckerchiefs. So the children had to solve all sorts of puzzles in groups to get a new hint and figure out new coordinates that eventually lead to the hidden box. One station was diving for apples, the kids had really great fun. Eventually, the box with the neckerchiefs was successfully located under the hut at the scout yard.
This meant the older kids of all the sections could finally leave their mates and join the next sections. Each section comes up with some kind of an entry exam each year. What you can see in the photos is the scouts (“Jungpfadfinder”, or short “Jupfis”) who are wearing blue colored neckerchiefs and explorers (“Pfadfinder”/“Pfadis”) in green. The old cubs (“Wölfinge”/“Wös”) joining as new scouts had to guess the type of both yummy and nasty blue dyed liquids. Banana juice, cucumber water and the like.
The explorers welcomed their new members with a quiz of green things. Somebody started with the name of something green. The next person then had to find another term of a green-colored item that started with the same letter the previous thing ended in. E.g. grass, slime, emerald, dill, etc. If someone couldn’t think of a thing within fifteen seconds, they had to choose left or right and whatever another person behind them was secretly holding up in the air was then mixed into a cup as penalty. In the end they all had to savor this yucky gnat’s piss. Apparently, kids love such kind of torture. :-D
No slug was harmed by the campfire. It was professionally rescued before the wood shavings were set on fire. Saussages and buns left over from yesterday’s party were put to good use. Also marshmallows and stick bread. All in all, a great fun day.
Unfortunately, we cannot watch the sunset from the scout yard as it is located in a valley. But I timed the way home just perfectly.
Next week I have to sort through a thousand photos of two cameras from just this weekend. I’m already hating myself because I was one of the photographers. And a third source of pictures will be added. Örks.
(#kzrb3qa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe you just got better at the game. I hope 2005 isn’t considered “retro” yet.
(#kzrb3qa) Huh, already finished Quake 4. That was much shorter than I remembered. 🤔 Does this qualify as “retrogaming”, btw? It was released 18 years ago … 😳
(#5q5kh5q) @prologic@twtxt.net Alright, that’s allowed. 😁
(#5q5kh5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Just flying down half a day early so not to stress too much 😆
(#5q5kh5q) @prologic@twtxt.net But, but … it’s Sunday! Don’t work on a Sunday! 😅
(#5q5kh5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool! 👌 I’m away interstate at the moment for a work thing 😁
(#pviq7yq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Sure is! 😆
(#5q5kh5q) @prologic@twtxt.net Not much, really. Went out for a long walk this morning since temperatures are finally down to a comfortable range. Now I’ll have a coffee and play some more Quake 4. 😅
(#pviq7yq) @prologic@twtxt.net Is “barbie” aussie as well? 😅
(#pviq7yq) @prologic@twtxt.net Cheers mate. Fuck me dead, I reckon s’arvo gave it away.
(#b5lmxea) @linux_gizmos@feeds.twtxt.net Hmmm 🤔 This is a cool looking embedded board! 👌
AmaIng that on these plane WiFi networks, clearly powered by satellites, even get this much bandwidth 🙃
Latency is pretty piss poor, but you kind of expect that with a moving target 🤣
(#qetcsfa) @juhi Hi 🤗 Welcome to Twtxt 👌
(#ftlzkya) @juhi Hello! 👋
(#jotyp7a) @thecanine@twtxt.net Very cool! 👌
(#pviq7yq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The way you wrote this made you almost sound “Aussie” 🤣
(#5q5kh5q) @yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja Micely put 👌
(#5q5kh5q) It just doesn’t scale IMO 😅 Much better to have smaller interconnected decentralised social interactions 🤣
(#5q5kh5q) @yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja This in and of itself ☝️ is why I believe so strongly that the whole “Fediverse” concept is utterly broken. You cannot scale human interactions like this. It doesn’t work on a centralised system, and it doesn’t work on a distributed system either. 🤣
(#5q5kh5q) @yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja The Fediverse has bureaucracy?! 😱 Tell me more! 🤔 – Me just writing some code (for another project)
What’s everyone up to? 🤔 Good weekend so far? 🤔
(#jotyp7a) @thecanine@twtxt.net This classic and all-time favorite masterpiece came to mind immediately: http://myfunnymemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Flying-Camel-Is-Very-Polite-As-It-Soars-The-Desert.jpg
(#jotyp7a) @thecanine@twtxt.net Howdy!
Serving suggestion:
Today was our yearly scout meeting. Three glass bottles in total didn’t survive the afternoon and evening. After the general meeting some of us went to the scout church service next door and then we had a nice barbie with friends and the general public.
(#6fkuuvq) Learning from the big ones means learning to win. :-P
(#3hbgzvq) Thanks, @prologic@twtxt.net. There are worse places for sure. :-)
(#3sjwvdq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci Sums it up perfectly.
(#6fkuuvq) @bender@twtxt.net Or Traefik but yeah 👌
(#jzzukua) @thecanine@twtxt.net Gotta pay for that ~$250k/day price to run those many thousands of NVIDIA Telsa cards somehow 🤣
(#6fkuuvq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci Can’t use Let’s Encrypt? 🤔
(#lnpcn6q) @bender@twtxt.net I didn’t know that, thanks! I generally don’t use the password manager on iOs or macOS even for that matter though, but thanks 👌 I do however recommend it to family/friends (but with iCloud turned off for obvious reasons)
(#ztdaita) @eapl.me@eapl.me The reason I was asking was specifically @fachex@twtxt.net mentioning another open source OTP app that’s been audited and verified. So was thinking of switching out the OTP app I use on my phone 🤔
(#jzzukua) @thecanine@twtxt.net Agreed, I find it rather ironic really. First Microsoft stole everyone’s open source works, without asking, without acknowledgement, Now they’re giving CoPilot free to use to all those they stole from?! 🤦♂️ LIke da fuq?!
(#3sjwvdq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I feel the same way. On both points 👌 I find it ethically immoral to use CoPilot specifically.
(#g2qwpcq) @thecanine@twtxt.net Aren’t they just pretty dumb thougj? 😆
After several hours of debugging in a larger task force yesterday and today, we finally figured out that we must have ran into an XFS bug (seems to work fine on ext4). An ftruncate
syscall hung forever and hence the process was caught in an uninterruptible sleep. This was the first time I ever witnessed kill -9
not to “work”. But I learned a bunch of new stuff. I never dug this deep into the guts before.
Some of you probably know that /proc/$PID/syscall
tells you the current system call the process is executing. And /proc/$PID/stack
returns the kernel stack trace. Awesome stuff!
That’s a wonderful article on that matter: https://tanelpoder.com/2013/02/21/peeking-into-linux-kernel-land-using-proc-filesystem-for-quickndirty-troubleshooting/
How is everyone finding GitHub CoPilot? 🤔 Good / Bad ? 🤔
(#3hbgzvq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Always admire where you live 😍
Is FreeOTP any good? 🤔
(#67p35da) @shreyan@twtxt.net Yeah gokrazy is pretty cool 👌
(#ptpiqna) @darch@neotxt.dk! Man! These are some cool pictures! The Iceland gallery was the most beautiful in total to me. How else can it be, right?! ;-) Very beautiful scenery and lovely colors overall. I’d love to see that with my own eyes one day. Very hard to choose, but I have to highlight the following pics:
Additional nature shoutouts go to:
The latter one perfectly fits this sign: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230807_140853.jpg (probably a sunset, though ;-))
I had to chuckle at this one: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-07-iceland/IMG_20230802_112551.jpg
Which brings me to the art pictures. Interesting museum visits. Mostly funny and neat ideas, but also some weird ones. I immediately liked that one (again, obviously): http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230825_200517.jpg All these chairs look really cool, great photo, mate! Perfectly fits into the art category itself: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-09-nyc/IMG_20230829_162111_HDR.jpg
That one is a good mix of nature and art combined, with a touch of ugliness, that brings its own beauty, though. It’s a bit hard to describe, but I hope you get what I mean: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-08-aln/IMG_20230827_114645_HDR.jpg
NY has some really ugly spots, that’s quite a contrast. I especially get that feeling when looking at this brilliant shot: http://darch.dk/fotos/media/images/2023-09-nyc/IMG_20230830_114320_HDR.jpg It portraits the shabbiness perfectly. I’m very glad I don’t live in a concrete and glass desert but rather a town. However, I have to admit, the views from the skyscrapers aren’t so bad.
Thank you very much for sharing all of them! I certainly had a blast going through them.
I covered today’s sunrise to sunset. Sort of. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2023-09-20/
(#tendymq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Woooooaaaaaahhhh, geil! I’d absolutely love to see this some day.
(#hrsq6ma) @yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja Just don’t enable it? 🤔 It’s feature gated.
(#hrsq6ma) @yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja Okay okay 🤣 Are you able to contribute in this at all and help cut some code? 🙏
