(#f2s5vgq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found some numbers now, theyāre saying it was around 10cm in 3-4 hours. I donāt know, felt like more. š The forecast wasnāt really good either, now that I think about it. They said thereās going to be some snow, okay, fine, but then, boom.
Haha, that old ad is lovely. Those days are over. š¤£
Havenāt watched it to the end yet, but @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org might like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EarBm4tfMXs
Ich hab es jetzt endlich geschafft, diese alte Podcastdatei anzuhƶren, die ich auf meiner Platte fand. Omega-Tau 293 Ć¼ber WasserstraĆen und im Speziellen den Neckar. Total interessant. Ich bin bisher noch nie Ć¼ber diese Serie gestolpert und habe keine Ahnung, wie ich Ć¼berhaupt zu der Datei kam. Leider ist der Podcast mittlerweile eingestellt, das TLS-Zertifikat der Website die Tage abgelaufen und die Folgenseite tot, aber die Audiodatei gibtās noch: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/omegataupodcast/omegatau-393-wasserstrassen.mp3

(#avmdvrq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Good point! Iāll update the site a bit more š
(#f2s5vgq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, so just half a millimeter then! :-D Thatās plenty these days for everything to shut down, Iām afraid. If only the same Ć©lan was still in action as back then:
And here I am watching Mattias Bjƶrnstrƶmās gas pedal freezing at full throttle around -40Ā°C. Well, falls apart and gets stuck.

Iām not an expert on this subject at all, but I reckon an automatic in addition with all its sensors is much worse than a manual one. All wheel drive, studded tires and diff locked is what one wants in icy situations. :-D
(#cdqksfa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I donāt know a number (wait, why canāt I google a Wetterbericht but only a Wettervorhersage?!), but it was enough for public transportation to shut down. š I think I saw around five trucks on the side of the road who couldnāt continue, too icy. Some cars stranded.
My car has an automatic gearbox and Iām not sure if thatās good or bad in such conditions. š Pretty hard to accelerate without spinning wheels ā¦
Building a Roman crossbow completely by hand is soo fascinating and damn cool: https://youtube.com/watch?v=sSCwmXy_8Bo
(#cdqksfa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Welcome home! How many decimeters did you get? It just snowed a tiny bit, but absolutely zero survived on the ground here.
(#avmdvrq) @prologic@twtxt.net (While browsing through that, I noticed that https://mu-lang.dev/ itself doesnāt really mention the source code repo, does it? š¤ Like, the quickstart guide begins with āBuild the host: go build ./cmd/muā, but whereās the git clone ā¦ command? š
)
Iām not really sure what the goal is. š¤ Do you want to get pull requests for the docs? Or bug reports for mu itself? š¤
Well that was a lot of snow. Barely made it home. (Because, of course, today was the day where I went to the office. š¤£)
Trying an experiment. Created a Github repo for mu over at https://github.com/prologic/mu as a social experiment to see if we can maintain a tailored Github docs-only repo of a project, see if it gets any interest š¤
I think Iāll never eat McDonaldās fries/chips ever again š± https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ITRtnPPJPsY
I built Audiofern to make it simple to turn PDFs into audiobooks. Upload a document, get clean, chapterized narration with natural voices, and share it via a hosted playerāor download M4A/M4B and keep it forever. Files are private by default, and pricing is transparent: pay once by audio hour or subscribe to build a listening library.
(#tkahaea) @bender@twtxt.net Ooops fixed š
Have finally put together the beginnings of a site for Mu (Āµ) https://mu-lang.dev š¤ #mu #mu-lang
(#ld3s6ea) @kiwu@twtxt.net Good thank you š How about you?
(#hjlqtnq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Man I listened to aht first one, what good shitā¢ š© Haha š¤£ Loved it! š
(#l2udpba) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I donāt have any statistics, just observe what is around me, so itās very subjective. I know a bunch of kids with names Iāve never heard before. Sometimes, I first thought other kids were making fun of their friends by calling them by made-up nonsense. But no. Without question, I live under a rock. I just looked up some of them that came to mind immediately and they seem to be of Greek, Swedish and Latin origin, etc.
(#xja3cya) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, that sounds really nicely.
Aww man, I need to pick up learning Finnish again. I just love the sound of that language.
Surprisingly, I still understand quite a bit of what sheās saying here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfnt5-7QBvQ
(#2dksr5q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated.
Yes, apparently so. (Iām glad we stopped doing that. I donāt get this obsession with the contents of other peopleās pants. š¤¢)
Now Iām wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?
Did this ever happen or was this an urban myth? Would have to dig up some statistics, I guess. (Anecdotal evidence: None of the people I know gave their kids crazy names. š)
(#2dksr5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated. Didnāt read through the court decision, though.
Interesting, I always thought that Kiran was a male first name. But I only know one person with that name. As last name, though.
Now Iām wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?
(#l7xkimq) @bender@twtxt.net Hahahaha! :-D
(#mv5sl4a) @klaxzy@klaxzy.net Haha, I just noticed because my client colors mentions differently depending on whether I follow the feed or not. ;-)
(#acvnzkq) @bender@twtxt.net Thatās the plan! Once Iām happy with this v1 (and we find no other obvious bugs/issues) updating āChangesā with user-facing / human-freidnyl changes is part of the release process!
Fell into a bit of a rabbit hole and learned that it took German law until 2008 to actually allow unisex/gender-neutral first names: https://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/entscheidungen/rk20081205_1bvr057607.html š¤¦
(#75dbfqa) @bender@twtxt.net Will do. š¤£
(#olntwra) @arne@uplegger.eu Das klingt spannend! Setze ich mal auf die Liste. (Bin gerade an The Luminous Dead dran.)
I wonder if my elderly German neighbors have learned enough English by now to understand what Iām swearing about all day long. š¤
(#gw45uga) @klaxzy@klaxzy.net Nope, not IONOS, but we use them a lot at work. To be honest, I consider them one of the better providers (at least regarding the IaaS stuff that we do). š
(#juyez2q) @klaxzy@klaxzy.net I just wanna let you know that in your last two messages there are backslashes at the end of the mention URLs.
(#acvnzkq) @bender@twtxt.net Thanks for letting me know it was Mobile Safari! I just did some testing real quick and things are not working very well š¤ I think Iāve introduced some regressions last night as I was putting this into prod š services me right for late-night deployment š¤£ Iāve taken it down for now, will spend a bit more time on testing making sure things all work properly!
Behold! š„³ My first (hopefully it doesnāt fail š¤) ĀµSaaS (microSaaS)
Turn PDFs into audiobooks.
(only supports PDF(s) at the moment, books, papers, etc)
Happy reading/listening š¤ š #Audiofern #Audiobooks #microSaaS
(#vx4rw2q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I dunno š¤· You should see all the thingsā¢ my wife does š¤£ I guess weāre both the same, we just do it š
My hoster broke UDP, so DNS is broken as well and that takes a lot of things with it. No more email for me, I guess.
Letās hope theyāll fix it soon.
(#rvvatca) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I see. Never watched that show.
(#vx4rw2q) @prologic@twtxt.net (I still donāt know how you can muster up so much motivation and energy (especially when you have a family). Are we the same species?! š )
(#t3g4jwa) @bender@twtxt.net Ta! :-)
(#xl7dt5a) Iāve got sore muscles. The sticky snow couldnāt be pushed, it had to be laborously cleared shovel by shovel. :-D
In my lunch break, I went on a short stroll. Oh boy, walking through deep damp snow is exhausting! There were sections with easily 30 centimeters and more. Some big wind drifts had piled up. Despite melting off quickly in the 4Ā°C, especially turning the trees brown again, the white landscape still looks so nice. Iām glad these road marking sticks finally came in handy for the snow plow guys. :-) The black and orange stripes are 30 cm high.
https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-01-26/
Thatās probably it. Thereās no significant snowfall announced for the rest of the week and temperatures are supposed to stay in the 2-4Ā°C range by day.
(#hm5l3oq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Abed is a character from Community and ācool cool coolā was one of his āthingsā: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXYjejIup4
Just showelled 20cm of snow for half an hour, fuck me! Iām totally shattered. But itās worth it. Looks so beautiful. And all the disbelief and terror in the eyes of the people. Well, thatās what our winters were like three decades ago. Iām just glad that I can work from home.
If you lived alone but there was a mirror it can seem like there is someone else around
(#hm5l3oq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de No, I donāt know what that is. :-?
(#gjiiaeq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Feature creep is killing it. :-(
(#ykh2qpa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I was also extremely surprised and couldnāt believe it myself. But around the hair were definitely two, three millimeters of ice with a bunch of snow on top. I couldnāt simply brush it off, the hair were all frozen together. Back in the house, it took maybe three minutes to melt the solidified white stuff and free up and disconnect the individual hair. Crazy.
Yeah, 0Ā°C in town, maybe -2Ā°C on the summit. It definitely didnāt feel all the cold, but I came prepared with a few layers of cloth.
(#jsg36sq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ohh, Winter Wonderland. Lovely!
Never had frozen hair. š³ With just around 0Ā°C? š¤
