(#uomoupq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net good night, mate, and happy Sunday! One more day, and then back to the hammer. 😂

(#xtz5lkq) @prologic@twtxt.net what makes a repo worthwhile? Even the least seemingly important, or interesting, might have some use, sometime, somewhere.

If the history of mankind relied on self hosting, we would have no history. Or a very incomplete one.

(#yadfata) @prologic@twtxt.net the Australian government has all your information, right? Every possible PII of you they have. They have your fingerprints, and other minutiae. Doctors have much information too. Banks and credit cards companies have your purchasing history, and financial power. Credit bureaus—I asume Australia has those too—have a trove on information about you as well. And so on and so forth.

Considering that all those are, allegedly, worse than Apple at keeping your information secure, and private, what’s the problem with iCloud?

TIL that every Mexican citizen can obtain a private and public key which they can use to handle all government bureaucratic affairs (such as taxes, passport, university diplomas, etc.), without the need of lengthy waits, nor paper communications via postal mail.

That, on its own, is 100 years ahead of the way we do things in the US.

(#psv2pwa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I would be curious to know how many people visit that gopher page. I sure can’t! Why not HTTP?

“It doesn’t open” — said partner, while unsuccessfully trying to open a meatball container. “If Aladdin would have said the same thing at the cave’s mouth, he wouldn’t have found riches, nor the magical lamp, nor we had had an amazing story to listen” — I replied, opening the container whilst saying out loud “Open sesame!”

(#wwaavha) @carsten@yarnd.orbsmart.synology.me yes, that one. I linked to the makers page because they have other interesting products. I understand most of them are widely known by macOS users.

(#xtz5lkq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I meant odds are one own self hosting will not last as long as GitHub. Many factors might influence the impermanence of self-hosting. Now, as with everything, there might be exceptions (you may consider yourself one, for example).

(#fyi2hvq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I couldn’t handle that much bullshit, so after the second tweet on the thread I gave up. Nope, will pass on whatever he is taking. I will rather have a smoothie. 😂

(#vtleiwa) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com show me that meme generator, please. I have a few things I would love to put on that book cover! 😂

(#nzwskjq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net that’s a nice, good morning to wake up to! Clear skies, crispy cold… so nice. I woke up 30 minutes ago, it is a bit past eight now. Today is warm, at 16°C, and I ashamed of having overslept.

I wonder, do those vehicles have to make it out through that narrow passage? I can imagine the problem when everyone wants out at rush time.

(#mkup2ca) @prologic@twtxt.net You sure fixed the problem by hoping things turn around!

(#dp3ixba) @anth@a.9srv.net Google Voice will work fine. T-Mobile has a service called DIGITS that gives you a number you can set to do that too. But for free, Google Voice would work perfectly.

(#ozip7aq) @prologic@twtxt.net I use Micro Snitch to be warned on things like this. Unfortunately I can’t pick not to use Zoom as it is required for work.

Off the back of my previous post, I’ve put a bit more details in to this journal entry - https://redacted.id/031e38c5

Kaja is in a very bad state right now, the vet did a blood test (and she put a hole in my thumb as he took blood). Diabetes on top of kidney, liver, and pancreatic failure. I’m watching her try to drink water, she’s got the whole bed room to herself now

2022 and we are still invading others, and waging wars. We are a failed experiment that has lasted—using our own measure of time—way too long.

A message from a Syrian girl: “Flowers will bloom.” That is a message of hope from someone currently in living hell.

(#xtz5lkq) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net I am sure your own Gitea install will not last as long as GitHub. Same applies to having your repositories on envs.net. But that aside. Is Mike centring all his complains on GitHub JS usage? Pfff! Dear lord. 😒

(#xfx73ba) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net that amount gets you a “fancy” Starbucks coffee here, so I think €7.50 is a fair price. Inflation is eating us alive here, sadly.

(#to7y4xa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org quite a few gems you got on that trek! I am on mobile now, but 25, and 26 stood out, and well as the one at dusk. It is hard to believe it was cold and snowy, as pretty much all the clicks gave me the feeling of warm, and peacefulness.

You know, even if I wanted I wouldn’t be able to show you nice places like those from here. To see something near to what you see I would have to jump in the car, and drive far. While it is true the saying “grass is always greener on the other side”, I wish I had the scenery you have, that’s for sure!

(#g2dtxya) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net yes, Apple’s long term support was a selling point to two of family member Android hold outs. That, and the lack of bloatware.

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net Ok, you’re on the web site, thanks! Also fixed @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com’s web site link.

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net Link to the page?

(#lkthniq) @prologic@twtxt.net it was scrumptious. The slightly softness of the cookie was enhanced by the crunchiness of the freckles, and the sweetness, and tastefulness of the fruit jam. I am sure it was heavenly to eat, especially after the savoury sandwich. 😊

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, it’s going on the web site, thanks!

He is very proud of all the users that use mkws 🤗

Not proud, but happy people enjoy it! 😁

it will be perfect also for generating Gemini pages as it is small and handy and fast

Yeah, people have been using it to generate both kind of web sites, WWW and Gemini.

(#xfx73ba) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net having been to Amsterdam I had to try a couple of the many, many Indonesian restaurants in town—it has to do with the Dutch atrocious colonial rule in Indonesia. The food was, in both cases, delicious! Plenty of little dishes, and they kept coming, on demand. Hope you enjoyed it!

(#57s4eeq) Meh. I will soon be using exclusively ARM processors. Let Intel get into this—potential—mess. It might end up being a good feature for those still on their platform, who knows.

(#57s4eeq) Oh, now your twt has the context. It took a little to pop. Reading.

(#57s4eeq) @prologic@twtxt.net what is this about? Could you provide some context? Can’t tell from anything on your twt.

(#lkthniq) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com very nice day, so colourful and bright! Is that a flamboyant tree? I also like your picnic blanket design a lot. 😍 So, what was in the basket? 🤤🙈

(#m7lw6lq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL, thank you for sharing, it was awesome! I am slowly getting more and more into YouTube (subscribed to a small few), so that my children don’t call me boomer. I don’t really have much time, or rather patience, to sit on long videos, but this one is short enough to enjoy in one seating.

(#byuxy4q) Very nice! Love the colours, and the shades and lighting on the clouds and sky. It looks like a sunrise. A crispy, clean one.

(#g677b2a) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net I think @adi@twtxt.net will be tickled to read this. Maybe he will even use this twt as “what others are saying” testimonial!

(#wqfmakq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org he was pretty upset (furious even!), because his favourite hat was stolen, and he had to resort to this one—which was a Christmas present from his great aunt—for this shot. The photographer had to pull one or two spines off her arm, after the photo session ended. That ought to tell you he wasn’t in a good mood at all.

(#o5jt5ja) @carsten@yarnd.orbsmart.synology.me yes, and that is fine, it is working as intended. The problem isn’t on the web browser.

(#eam2nfa) @prologic@twtxt.net no, he didn’t, I don’t think so. He is using a browser on desktop, or a big mobile (tablet), not the app. The mobile app (not to be confused with mobile web browser) is the one with the issue.

(#kpugcla) @movq@www.uninformativ.de having a laptop, and/or mobile device is my definition of minimalism. 😅 They both fit in a backpack. But yes, this will not help the already negatively impacted electronics industry.

(#mh43uca) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net is it German? Or is it the English translation of a German word? What does it mean, other than, perhaps, to refer to something that is “relevant to a system”?

Howdy, @ynac@netbros.com! Let me know how can I make the Yarn.social experience a better one for you. And, if you have any other questions, feel free to ping me!

Here comes solid state storage shortages!

Western Digital Corp said on Wednesday certain materials at two of its manufacturing units in Japan, operated by joint-venture partner Kioxia Holdings Corp, were contaminated and will result in reduced availability of flash storage devices.

I find myself each time closer to what it is, and further of what it should be.

Once a month she will turn into a different person for a week. He, on the other hand, can’t remember faces.

Will watch the final episode tonight, and then I will have to hunt something to watch next.

(#45bnpia) @prologic@twtxt.net I will take rock money any day, versus NFTs. With rock money, I can see it, touch it, and pay (with rock money itself!) to get it moved to wherever I want. 😂 More about the Island of Rock Money.

(#zr32tma) @carsten@yarn.zn80.net no, no, you are not causing any confusion. It is @prologic@twtxt.net, or his mobile app, the one getting confused. The mobile app is broken. I recommend using mobile web for now, as it works perfectly.

(#bqvebda) @prologic@twtxt.net you still addressed the wrong one here. 😅 It is rather chaotic.

(#yzl7nqq) @prologic@twtxt.net he worries about being able to use ! at the end of URLs freely. Such worry is so intense, he can’t sleep. 🙈😂😂😂

Sorry! I promise, not touching the subject again, ever! I am not here, sleeping, sleeping.

(#lx6pa3q) @adi@twtxt.net how about “but they’re very very rare”? Better, no?

(#lx6pa3q) @adi@twtxt.net the yelling stage has kicked in! In all seriousness, reading VERY VERY RARE! hurt my ears so badly, I think I am going to need some drops to sleep tonight. 😩
