(#boiotxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I havenā€™t used KDE or GNOME for ages, but Iā€™m sure KDE at least used to show application icons in the title bars. They proabably still do. But then, one could argue that KDE is mimicking Windows. I never thought like that, I always found KDE way superior, because I was able to configure it like a madman.

In i3, I donā€™t have any application icons. I remember missing them at the beginning. But I donā€™t even have the classical minimize, maximize and close buttons in the title bar either. Just the title. Being mostly keyboard driven and a tiling window manager, these buttons are not super useful, anyway.

We finally got a caliper donated for this yearā€™s scout flea market. We didnā€™t sell it, but kept it ourselves. It will come in very handy every now and then in our material store. For example, I missed having a caliper in the past when sorting our random assortment of screws or measuring the depth of a hole. Itā€™s a wee bit banged up (probably happened during transport) and didnā€™t come with a box, but the latter is now solved.

The lid and bottom came from a wardrobe back panel I got from a mate, the sides were rocket sticks in their former lives. I found some scrap of felt in our material store and some hinges laying around in the drawers of my own workshop.

Unfortunately, the table saw teared up the plywood veneer fibres badly, even though I put tape around to prevent that. This is the first time it didnā€™t work. At. All. To cover that up, I painted the box with some decades old tinting paint (price tag says Deutsche Mark, not Euro!) from my paint cabinet. Itā€™s awesome, works absolutely perfectly and doesnā€™t smell the slightest bit. I reckon, this caliper box is plenty good enough for occasional use at our scout material store.

I have a Python script that transforms the original YouTube channel Atom feed into a more useful Atom feed by removing the spam description and replacing it with the video duration, filtering out videos by title, duration, etc. I just updated it to exclude the damn Shorts garbage more efficiently. Finally, YouTube updated their Atom feed generation, so that the video URL contains /short/ if itā€™s of this useless kind. Never thought that they ever actually will improve their Atom feeds. Thank you, much appreciated!

(#ijm24eq) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I have absolutely no idea, but I wouldnā€™t be surprised if it uses the closest full image after your cut point and not the one before. Hence, the deltas between the two full images have nothing to really refer to. So, the video player just shows the first full image it finds and ā€œfreezesā€ the image until the video stream actually hits it.

Let me try to visualize it, | represent full images, . just subsequent deltas:

Original start of video
ā†“
|......|.....|........|......|..
   ā†‘                      ā†‘
   Cut point      Cut point

Resulting video:

   ....|.....|........|....
   ā†‘ā†‘ā†‘ā†‘
   This is where it freezes

Could be complete bullshit, though. Wouldnā€™t be the first time that Iā€™m wrong. :-)

Iā€™m just curious, what exact command line do you use to cut the video?

(#23mu5la) I think I understand now. Americans do not go camping, we do recreational activities. I donā€™t think campers are a thing here, but RVs (Recreational Vehicles) are. Thatā€™s why it would never cross my mind to get anything with fabric, that folds. No mate, we get a house on wheels, with a million miles engine. šŸ¤£

Other than that, it looks nice!

next up: authentication center / for both work & personal use.
for the work project, the customers (of my client) are unhappy with the account login flow and I need a fast & easy SSO for them.

for personal use: just a gateway to lock all the apps and provide access to friends.

i slowly realize the power of 1% everyday on what i am doing.
