(#tnyvewa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck, no! This must be a violation of all sorts of rules! Staged for sure.

(#kmlmfra) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, I’d take that, too. :-)

I don’t mind most sauna goers. It would be just nicer if there were fewer people or parallel Aufguss sessions, so that it’s not overcrowded.

What’s going on here?

Is that real? Did I just watch a politician genuinely chuckle? That’s unheard of. Is that even legal?

(#xycahxq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sauna is awesome – if it wasn’t for other people. 🤣 A little mökki in Finland with a private sauna, that would be it.

(#a7c7ucq) @shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe I don’t have a use for it, just curious, why did you fork it?

It was so great going to the sauna again, we were looking forward to that the whole week. :-) It’s been over a year, holy cow, time flies. We definitely have to pick up on that tradition again, that’s for sure.

We attended two Aufguss sessions, the first and last one in our four hour visit. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to the other two, because the crazy people already occupied the entire sauna 15 minutes before the start. Yeah, no.

Now, the bellies are stuffed with kebabs. Yum! Let’s see how often I wake up tonight to rehydrate.

(#gs4vtma) @movq@www.uninformativ.de You’re right, that’s neat. I also saw Pask’s take on that which he referenced. I don’t know if I will ever attempt anything like that. Can’t imagine to succeed in that mission.

(#uv6dhzq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I see. Yeah, if you gotta have to tediously plow through, it feels deeper. And sometimes it actually is.

We had super thick fog this morning. It rolled in extremely quickly, maybe 15 minutes at most. Visibility was below 50 meters. Looked cool from inside.

(#f2s5vgq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found some numbers now, they’re saying it was around 10cm in 3-4 hours. I don’t know, felt like more. 😂 The forecast wasn’t really good either, now that I think about it. They said there’s going to be some snow, okay, fine, but then, boom.

Haha, that old ad is lovely. Those days are over. 🤣

Haven’t 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 anzuhören, die ich auf meiner Platte fand. Omega-Tau 293 über Wasserstraßen und im Speziellen den Neckar. Total interessant. Ich bin bisher noch nie über diese Serie gestolpert und habe keine Ahnung, wie ich überhaupt 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 gibt’s noch: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/omegataupodcast/omegatau-393-wasserstrassen.mp3

(#avmdvrq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Good point! I’ll update the site a bit more 👌

(#f2s5vgq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, so just half a millimeter then! :-D That’s plenty these days for everything to shut down, I’m afraid. If only the same élan was still in action as back then:

And here I am watching Mattias Björnström’s gas pedal freezing at full throttle around -40°C. Well, falls apart and gets stuck.

I’m 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 don’t know a number (wait, why can’t I google a Wetterbericht but only a Wettervorhersage?!), but it was enough for public transportation to shut down. 😅 I think I saw around five trucks on the side of the road who couldn’t continue, too icy. Some cars stranded.

My car has an automatic gearbox and I’m not sure if that’s good or bad in such conditions. 😂 Pretty hard to accelerate without spinning wheels …

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 doesn’t really mention the source code repo, does it? 🤔 Like, the quickstart guide begins with “Build the host: go build ./cmd/mu”, but where’s the git clone … command? 😅)

I’m not really sure what the goal is. 🤔 Do you want to get pull requests for the docs? Or bug reports for mu itself? 🤔

Well that was a lot of snow. Barely made it home. (Because, of course, today was the day where I went to the office. 🤣)

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 🤔

I think I’ll never eat McDonald’s fries/chips ever again 😱 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 player—or 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 😅

Have finally put together the beginnings of a site for Mu (µ) https://mu-lang.dev 🤞 #mu #mu-lang

(#ld3s6ea) @kiwu@twtxt.net Good thank you 🙏 How about you?

(#hjlqtnq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Man I listened to aht first one, what good shit™ 💩 Haha 🤣 Loved it! 😍

Have some Igorrr:

Blastbeat Falafel

And probably still my favorite:

(#l2udpba) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t have any statistics, just observe what is around me, so it’s very subjective. I know a bunch of kids with names I’ve 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 she’s 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. (I’m glad we stopped doing that. I don’t get this obsession with the contents of other people’s pants. 🤢)

Now I’m 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. 😆)

(#2dksr5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated. Didn’t 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 I’m 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 That’s the plan! Once I’m happy with this v1 (and we find no other obvious bugs/issues) updating “Changes” 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 🤦

(#75dbfqa) @bender@twtxt.net Will do. 🤣

(#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 I’m swearing about all day long. 🤔

(#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). 😅

(#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 🤔 I think I’ve introduced some regressions last night as I was putting this into prod 😅 services me right for late-night deployment 🤣 I’ve taken it down for now, will spend a bit more time on testing making sure things all work properly!

Behold! 🥳 My first (hopefully it doesn’t fail 🤞) µSaaS (microSaaS)

Audiofern

Turn PDFs into audiobooks.

(only supports PDF(s) at the moment, books, papers, etc)

Happy reading/listening 🤓 👂 #Audiofern #Audiobooks #microSaaS

(#vx4rw2q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I dunno 🤷 You should see all the things™ my wife does 🤣 I guess we’re both the same, we just do it 😅

If you lived alone but there was a mirror it can seem like there is someone else around

(#jsg36sq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ohh, Winter Wonderland. Lovely!

Never had frozen hair. 😳 With just around 0°C? 🤔

(#ihycs7q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (Was that a reference to Abed? 😅)

(#gjiiaeq) Just importing data classes takes another 60 ms … This fancy new stuff is really costly.

Omg, Python. Parsing arguments with argparse takes 50 ms on my NUC, because this pulls in all kinds of fancy stuff behind the scenes, colorization and what not. 😮‍💨

(#vx4rw2q) Has a bit of a long history story behind this, where last year at work we were reading this book called Engineering a Safer World and initially came across a service called Speech Reply that allowed me to upload a PDF copy of the book and start to read it, but unfortunately, the free trial right now before I can finish reading it turns out that Speech Reply service cost a whopping US$30 a month and expected me to pay a full year upfront, which was well over US$300 just for one fucking book! So I sent their sales and support staff a message kindly asking if it were possible to just pay for the audio transcription of just a single book or to change to a monthly subscription fee, to which they refused, so basically in the end I got very angry and told them to go fuck themselves and built my own service. A year later here we are :-)
