(#g3u6i2q) @bender@twtxt.net Don’t even think that was on the cards I’m afraid 😳 But yes I’ve said that in a message to the recruiter.

(#xdrqwrq) @kiwu@twtxt.net I’m glad you’re liking the updates haha 😆

(#g3u6i2q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net Pfft, they want folks to relocate to Sydney. Fuck that 🤣 Sydney is a bit like San Francisco, I’m not actually sure which is worse. Fuck’n expensive as hell, the only palce you’d be able to afford to buy or rent is at least ~2hrs out of the city by public transport (i.e: train) and by that time you’ve just pissed your life down the toilet, because you’d be expected ot work a 9-10hr day + 2-3hrs of travel each way, buy the time you factor in having to wake up super early to get ready to travel in to work, you basically have zero time for anything else, let alone your ufamily,

Fuck that.

Hmmm

Hello @therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

(#gg45s6a) @thecanine@twtxt.net Cool! Let’s hope they truly keep their word.

(#g3u6i2q) @prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t have phrased it any better than @bender@twtxt.net. :-)

Twice or three times the money as before sounds a bit suspicious to me. Of course, I could be wrong, but I always was under the impression, that your last jobs weren’t all that badly salaried. If the new offer is really paid this highly, it might be a shit job. For me, money isn’t everything, I’d rather opt for a lower income where the job is fun than hating to go to work every day. But if the new job ticks all boxes, go for it. :-)

Also: Consult your pillow, don’t rush it.

I was looking at some ancient code and then thought: Hmm, maybe it would be a good idea to see more details in this error message. Which of the values don’t line up. On the other hand, that feature isn’t probably used anyway, because it’s a bit ugly to use (historically evolved). And on top of that, most teams need something slightly different, if they deal with that sort of thing.

I still told my workmates about it, so they could also have a look at it and we can decide tomorrow what to do about it. Speaking of the devil, no kidding, not even half an hour later, a puzzled tester contacted me. She received exactly that rather useless error message. Looks like I had an afflatus. ;-)

It’s interesting, though, that in all those years, nobody stumbled across this before. At least we now know for sure that this is not dead code. :-)

I had no meetings this arvo, so I made an appointment with the woods in my extended lunch break. The 6°C warm sun was out all day long and there was only a very light breeze. So, a very nice autumn day.

When I stopped to take a photo in the forest, a deer behind me took off into the woodland. I didn’t see it before. Also, I came across one or the other clearing. Sadly, it’s all commercial timberland here. Luckily, in a year or so, when nature slowly took over and reclaimed some spots, the apocalyptic sites are then looking a bit more decent again.

Cleaning of the ruin walls on my backyard mountain slowly takes shape. They made some progress and moved on to the other section. The flag on top is halfway disintegrated again, all the yellow half is completely gone. I’m wondering if they just stop replacing it at some point in time. But probably not.

Enjoy! https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-11-19/

(#g3u6i2q) @bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣 Spoken like someone that’s done this before 😅

What do you do, when a recruiter throws you a PD or two and says the total compensation is ~2-3x what you’re on now?! 🤔

(#gg45s6a) @thecanine@twtxt.net Not bad. 🥳 Fingers crossed that they actually do it. 🤞

(#zys4rlq) @arne@uplegger.eu @lukas@lukasthiel.de In fact, Yarn.social’s yarnd client implementation actually uses (or did, still kinda does today) PicoCSS 🤟 It was/is a good CSS library! 👍

(#gg45s6a) @thecanine@twtxt.net Comgrats! 🙌

(#enujccq) Luckily, I haven’t noticed at all. 😅

Boi am I glad I made the decision to get off of Clownflare back in Jan of this yaer 🤣

Hey @prologic@bridge.twtxt.net

@teleclimber@bridge.twtxt.net Definitely jealous that your model means you can “just add ARM” in a monthly update!

Hmmm does this show up in Twtxt? 🤔

Hello World! Testing 1 2 3

@meidastouch I think it’s pretty funny he keeps having to explain his own jokes.

I like to read through old RPG books and zines for inspiration for my games, and lately I’ve been enjoying the Arduin Grimoire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduin), one of the earliest 3rd-party zines (coming out during the initial run of OD&D). It’s filled with a bunch of unique ideas (some better than others), entirely too many charts, and is very much a product of its time, but there’s something about its “raw”-ness (and its variety) that I still find appealing.

@danie10@bridge.twtxt.net Fuel efficiency was the reason I had picked the economy instead of the “whatever you have” option in the first place. Although in fairness, I’d have to get a pretty big car to rent a car less efficient than my personal beast which is at the shop.

@jalefkowit@bridge.twtxt.net IMHO they should keep working on it.

@kentonvarda.com That is a fair point. It is also not very cohesive in a “I don’t know what you want, but I’m required to say something” way. It managed to cover your grammar, the source of food insecurity, telling you “just eat something” (which is how I respond to family members who say they’re hungry), and tops it off with a funny video.

@kentonvarda.com I really hate to defend an AI model, or Google, but you did not give it much to go on here. I would’ve assumed you were telling the machine you were hungry and wanted it to suggest food near you.

Rental car company absolutely tried scamming me. Obviously they didn’t have the car I reserved, so they wanted to upcharge me like 40% for a nicer car they had… I was able to edit the reservation online while standing there to “whatever you have” for the same cost as my original reservation.
I walked out with the same car they wanted more money for at the same price I had booked for.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/115531491817897878The latest engineering (and whole team) update is here 👀

@heidilifeldman@bridge.twtxt.net Guess it’s not unclaimed anymore. 🤔

(#wmnfghq) @bender@twtxt.net i am split between registrars .. isnic is only managed by the country registrar. the others i have at regular reseller

I am not dead. promise.

@RichardBrockie@bridge.twtxt.net They break your device, and they give you the privilege of buying another one from them.

@Viss@bridge.twtxt.net There’s no way someone didn’t notice this when putting it up.

@StillIRise1963@bridge.twtxt.net When it happens, the world’s problems won’t go away, but it will look a little brighter.

is there an etiquette to twtxt’ing? am i flooding?

oops typo tagging @sxb@tilde.club

i’m aging … before my very eyes

@xsb oh no … I’m in a normal brightness room, not quite direct blinding daytime, and light theme looks good

dark mode forevah!

catppuccin latte was great for that. the muttrc color file i found on github, not so much

weird thing: i’m open to light themes now. partly maybe aging eyes, but for sure bc my last home office was so sunny

anyway, i just tried catppuccin in mutt, and didn’t like itas much. and that’s what i prefer on my laptop term

s/but/and/ – though loyal already implies unquestioning

after years of loyal but unquestioning solarized usage, dracula theme feels so good

stoked to have cobbled together a mutt config that feels mostly-right

ngl, little relieved that while reading computer things instead of going out for a quick push on my skateboard, it must have rained briefly

@jordan@bridge.twtxt.net @vkc@bridge.twtxt.net Yeah, I’m Insteon for the same reason, but Z-Wave would be my next best choice. It doesn’t clutter up network bandwidth and in Insteon’s case is too dumb to compromise, the devices don’t even have firmware updates.

Replacement wifi adapter for my main laptop arrived today…5 days early!

hi @lafe@tilde.club and thank you!

hello, @threatcat@tilde.club!
