(#aks4fqq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ctrl-U in Vim does something similar (āDelete all entered characters before the cursor in the current lineā), but it does not put them into the āclipboardā. I sometimes hit Ctrl-U by accident and then my text is gone. š”š
A bill from our ISP in 1998.
Weāre talking about a month here, 1998-07-27 to 1998-08-26.
Basic fee: 7.50 DM (about 6ā¬ today).
Online time: 516 minutes, 23.53 DM (about 20ā¬ today).
Thatās just the ISP costs, if Iām not mistaken. The underlying phone calls were pretty pricey as well.
(#a23wqyq) Just as a little courtesy call (is that the right term?): 2025 continues to be annoying and exhausting, and I wonāt really have the energy to work on twtxt/Yarn or texudus. Other than the occasional retrocomputing thingy (which gives a nice boost of nostalgia), Iām not doing much of anything lately.
(#5delhjq) SuSE Linux 6.4 and Arachne on DOS also work (with Windows 2000 as a call target):
(#u3gqclq) @bender@twtxt.net Hm, I was just surprised to see so many non-english feeds in there. š¤
(#3dz22bq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Like this? š
(#qfrmt2q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Where do they come from, anyway? Are they somehow auto-discovered or is this a curated list?
(#3zx5s3q) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I donāt do a lot of CSS and tried to use flexboxes recently, couldnāt find a great explanation. I somehow managed to get the desired effect, but am I using them correctly? Who knows.
(#y3i4koa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I cannot / could not imagine that, either ā but if itās publicly available on the internet and something links to it, theyāll eventually find, scrape it, use it. ā¹ļø
(#pjzchfa) @arne@uplegger.eu ā¦ Petrasilie? :-D
When I chose the MIT license for all of my software, I thought:
āShould I use GPL, which I donāt really understand? Is that worth it? Yeah, there is a theoretical possibility that some company might use my code in their proprietary product ā¦ and then what? Should I sue them to enforce the GPL? Iām not going to do that anyway, so Iāll just use the MIT license.ā
And now we have those LLM scrapers and now itās suddenly a reality that these companies (ab)use my code. I can see it in my logs. I didnāt expect that back then.
GPL wouldnāt help, either, of course. (Regardless, I now think that GPL would have been the better choice anyway.)
Iām honestly considering taking my code and website offline. Maybe make it accessible through some obscure protocol like Gopher or Gemini, but no more HTTP.
(Yes, Anubis might help. Temporarily.)
Iām just tired.
Getting a bit quiet in the Yarniverse.
(#pjzchfa) @arne@uplegger.eu Was sind denn Petras? :-)
(#nscp66q) š Hooray! š
(#5delhjq) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz A blast from the past! š And all of it still works, thatās quite the surprise. I mean, Iām making real phone calls here and let the modems talk over that connection ā¦ Almost like in the 90ies. š
(#feqeo6a) @nghialele@nghia.im Man, I wish I could watch Formula 1 on a regular basis again, but it has become expensive as fuck here. š«¤
(#5delhjq) This is my highlight, really, havenāt seen this in action in a loooooooong time:
I had a lot of fun with my modems these past few days:
