(#vz7g74a) @zvava@twtxt.net The features are coming together, this is great!

(#ukdtj7q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Somebody knew what he was doing, great shots! Also, quite interesting to see the color and brightness change.

I have a feeling that learning to play electric double bass through an amplifier was a big mistake.

At the core, this is an acoustic instrument. If you play it through an amp, you will instinctively only do the bare minimum to get some sound going, because the amp does the heavy lifting. But it’s just not right.

This is a very physical instrument. It needs a lot of force and strength – in comparison, an electric bass guitar is almost flimsy and delicate. I need to “feel” what’s going on and that’s just not the case when using headphones.

I feel like I wasted ~3 years. 🫤 But maybe it’ll get better from now on …

(#s7jfiqq) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz How often have you been up top a sky scraper roof so far?

Made this a few weeks ago, just listened to it again and I quite like it:

This is just one instrument: Electric bass guitar + EBow. And echo/delay on top. But it’s a single track, single take. It amazes me quite a bit how much you can do with that little thing. 🤯

(#2wvfbdq) @dce@hashnix.club I’ve never heard of weirdcore before, but it’s kind of intriguing. 😃

(#ukdtj7q) @dce@hashnix.club The difference in brightness is pretty big. When the Moon is completely inside of the Earth’s shadow, you can see the red tint:

As soon as direct sunlight returns, even just a little bit, the Moon looks mostly normal again.

(#yrlctka) Yeah, it’s probably overkill. 🙈

(#ukdtj7q) Oops, maybe I should have posted a reminder. 🥴

@dce@hashnix.club By the time you posted your twt, the red phase was already over. 🙈 Stellarium has a pretty good simulation of the whole thing.

Yesterday, I published my first package on JSR: https://jsr.io/@itsericwoodward/fluent-dom-esm.

Then today, I pushed an update to my site to show my twts (including a schnazzy little animation to add them): https://itsericwoodward.com/

Overall, a most productive weekend.

(#22qk7ga) @zvava@twtxt.net I reckon there’s currently nobody working on v2. Which timezone are you in? Just post your questions here or head over to #yarn.social at libera.chat for a more realtime conversation via IRC.

(#ukdtj7q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh no, I completely missed it, didn’t think of it anymore! :-(

Thank you for the great photos! <3

(#jpmgzqa) @thecanine@twtxt.net I’d expect especially power users not to use the web frontend. Unfortunately, in order to submit MR reviews that’s very often just the only option.

(#s7jfiqq) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Uuhh, a rooftop concert! That sounds sick. I first learned about this in Electric Callboy’s tour report. They played the same location last year.

Heck yeah, you managed to be in the front rows. :-) I never heard about Rilo Kiley before, but the two songs I just listened to are good. Something to relax to.

Unfortunately, it’s not as sharp as I’d like it to be: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-09-07/

How about no longer using in-browser Git repo viewers? Make the AI bots do the work and actually clone the repo.

(#qzzh4uq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thanks! :-) I was reading the gakw manual when it started and caught up on the eels later. :-)

(#y3wdtlq) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Completely off-topic, I didn’t know that the English language picked up the German word “Ersatz”. Discovering things like that always brings me joy. It has some interesting other properties, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ersatz_good#Etymology

(#y3wdtlq) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz nooo my heart didn’t show up

That’s hot! Why Don’t Railroads Need Expansion Joints? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdj5-6t6QI8

(#xrp662q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy shit, that’s insane! :-D I tried it, but i’m absolutely terrible at these type of games. I’m having trouble with the keys to move around. Maybe after ages I would pick it up and it becomes natural. I just was never a real gamer.

I will definitely try to read through the code, though! This looks sick. 8-)

i playing with custom iptv channels. ersatztv my beloved

so obsessed with this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WEX94Gro7Q

(#whk62eq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de lovely!

(#qzzh4uq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, beautiful!

(#arwdyha) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz like it’s the shame that kills me the most but i just gotta get through it if i want a working server (and i really do!!!)

finally ordered a motherboard to replace the one i fried in my brand new server T__T it hurt but i had to do it, i put it off for literal months

(#fvvdrjq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Despite you claim it to be pretty simple, rest assured, you’re still a wizard to me. :-)

(#hf2oxbq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting, yes. I didn’t know that.

No AI being used is really great. However, the same clips shown over and over again and some images being mirrored was quite annoying to me. Also, there were some quite terrible computer animations and sometimes the narration and picture didn’t match at all. Talking about the medieval period and then showing an image from the 18th hundred or so. What the heck?

These production issues made me sceptical pretty much early on. So I quickly crosschecked Wikipedia. But it seems spot on from what I’ve read. Very good. Also, the narrator’s voice was really nice to listen to.

Eels are fascinating creatures. :-)

(#qzzh4uq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! And I didn’t look out the window at all. Was watching eels. 😂

I missed the best part, this was at the end:

Well, that was fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxNq8zOEbM8

(#2y5lbaq) @dce@hashnix.club Oof, that’s surprising. I wouldn’t have expected that to be so slow. 😳😳😳

(#zin22ca) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You might enjoy this one: https://github.com/TheMozg/awk-raycaster

Dear dev.alessandrocutolo.it, do you really need to fetch my twtxt feed every 20-30 seconds? 😅 Not that it’s posing a problem, but I feel like this could be optimized. For example, how about using the if-modified-since request header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/If-Modified-Since

(#fvvdrjq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @dce@hashnix.club It’s pretty cool, I won’t argue that, but also really simple, to be completely honest. 😅 The BIOS already provides all you need to send data to the printer:

https://helppc.netcore2k.net/interrupt/bios-printer-services

The BIOS actually does provide a great deal of things, which, to me, was one of the most surprising learnings of this project (the project of writing a little 16-bit real-mode OS, that is). It often doesn’t feel like I was writing an operating system – it felt more like writing a normal program that just uses BIOS calls like we would use syscalls these days.

(I’ve also read a lot of warnings, like “don’t use the BIOS for this or that”. Mostly because it tends to be very slow.)

(#fvvdrjq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Woah, heck yeah, congratulations, mate!

Uuuuhhh, Children Of The Dark by Mono Inc. covered by Moyun and a whole band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2jyc-q7-rU Sounds absolutely amazing.

Good morning. Driving the dot matrix printer from my little real-mode toy OS. 🖨️

(This is just a wrapper around BIOS INT 17. I love it nonetheless. 😅)
