I went on a short stroll in the woods and came across two great spotted woodpeckers. They were busy with their courtship display, I reckon, so it took them a while to notice me and escape into thicker parts out of sight. That was really awesome. There are a lot of apples and sloes now, looking really good. The cam issues still persist, though, I wish the photos were sharper. Also, I got the error that the function wheel was not adjusted correctly and alledgedly pointed between two options numerous times. And no, it was bang on a setting. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-10-07/

(#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.

(#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?

Sorry, this pun only works in German, where âBadâ means spa and is used as prefix for spa towns.
