(#jwv5raq) Searching the web a bit brings up lots of threads where people hate WebP. The problem being that browsers support WebP but other programs tend to be problematic … ? 🤔

(#jwv5raq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no idea why that is. 🤔

(#q3qrw5q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! 🌇

We got a very colorful sunset today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-09/

(#gi4kq6a) @prologic@twtxt.net Nice! And foggy as heck, very beautiful! Or is this smog?

(#jwv5raq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de The terminal colors change quite drastically, but not the photo. Interesting.

Use more WebP, I guess.

(#gi4kq6a) @prologic@twtxt.net That looks super humid. 😅

(#gi4kq6a) @bender@twtxt.net

(#gi4kq6a) @bender@twtxt.net No no we did!!! Just the photos are rubbish 😂

(#xtqtdaa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh you are a brilliant man 🙌

(#tiyosla) @prologic@twtxt.net Here you go:

(LTT = “Linus Tech Tips”, that’s the host.)

LTT: There was a recent thing from a major tech company, where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote – and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here that was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity, because–

Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset. At that point, that’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh, he was a prominent figure in the, uh, improved efficiency of the US government recently.

Torvalds: Oh. Apparently I was spot on.

Went to Ba Na Hills today, but honestly it was so cold and misery i couldn’t take very good photos 🤣 Here’s a few shots i managed!

(#4gya42q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de BahahahGG 🤣🤣🤣

(#nzcc6oa) @klaxzy@klaxzy.net do you know what I also find equally just as stupid and dumb is having to upgrade the software license on something just to be able to get OIDC or OAuth support ffs 🤦‍♂️

(#tiyosla) can somebody please transcribe what he said and post it here? 🙏 I think it’s too good just to waste in a video it needs to be preserved. 🤣

Fuck me, soooooooo beautiful! Awwww! :‘-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYfKgi133qo

This focuses more on the landscape part, other episodes also have amazing interactions with the locals. I cannot recommend the Itchy Boots channel enough. It’s in my top three channels of all time I believe. I hardly get the travel bug, but this has now changed. Watching Noraly’s videos brings me great joy. It also shows humanity is not lost, contrary to what one might think in this crazy world. :-)

Caution, this channel gets very addictive!

(#tiyosla) @movq@www.uninformativ.de :‘-D

In case you haven’t seen it yet:

Linus Torvalds about SLOC as a measurement of productivity. 😅

(#66rm73q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon you’re right. There cannot be any other explanation.

(#4gya42q) Haha, Amazon is full of bad reviews because the pin order doesn’t match … 🤦🤦🤦

(#t24o2wq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org My theory is that these people simply don’t do “code archeology”. When something breaks, they don’t reach for git log. They simply don’t experience the pain that comes with bad commits / commit messages.

Or is that different in your company? 😅

(#4bg5k7a) But it is weird that none of the slot plates (that I can find) appear to have the correct pin order. 🤔

The two mainboards I have here use this order:

2468x
13579

But the slot plates use this:

12345
6789x

I tripped over this at first and wondered why it didn’t work.

Has this changed recently or what? 🥴

(#4bg5k7a) @prologic@twtxt.net Ah, shit, you might be right. You can even buy these slot plates on Amazon. I didn’t even think to check Amazon, I went straight to eBay and tried to find it there, because I thought “it’s so old, nobody is going to use that anymore, I need to buy second-hand”. 🤦🤦🤦

It really shows that I built my last PC so long ago … I know next to nothing about current hardware. 😢

(#lquocva) Need to fix:

• threads
  -media and links

We’ll all my posts are making it to the “Fediverse” https://bridge.twtxt.net/users/c350a5e5fb9d9457

(#scuugpq) @bender@twtxt.net i’m just pointing out that it’s one of those fundamental RS 232 standards that will never die 🤣

(#4bg5k7a) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I think even modern PC still come with serial ports they just don’t wire them up anymore right? They’re still there in the board itself, though just unwired.

(#t24o2wq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Same. :‘-( I just don’t get how people do code archeology with all their shit messages and huge commits changing a gazillion of different things. I always try to lead by setting good examples, but nofuckingbody is picking up on that. At all. Even when bringing this up every now and then.

Currently watching Stranger Things and all I can think of is this:

(#fzfnvoa) @prologic@twtxt.net Bwahahaha! I tried to establish some form of “convention” for commit messages at work (not exactly what you linked to, though), but it’s a lost cause. 😂 Nobody is following any of that. Nobody wants to invest time in good commit messages. People just want to get stuff done.

I’m just glad that 80% are at least somewhat useful – instead of “wip” or “shit i screwed up”.

My current PC is from 2013, so I never even bothered to check, but as it turns out: My motherboard still has a serial port. 🤯 I thought these had long died out by then. To be honest, I didn’t have the need for one, either, not until recently … So I completely lost track if PCs have these things or not.

All I needed was one of those slot-cable-thingies. (And if the order of pins is correct, then it actually works. 🤦)

Cool! One less USB device. 😃

(#fzfnvoa) This is an example of the kind of garbage release notes from this conventional commit autogenerated crap 🤣

(#nlfkqhq) This ☝️ I proxy my SSH traffic and it requires a valid account check to occur.

(#fzfnvoa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I couldn’t agree more! I think good commit messages are very useful, however, and I’d much prefer the conventional mood style for Commit messages, but rather prefer telling a story rather than this weird syntax all over the shop!

(#fzfnvoa) @prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I don’t like them either.

As for changelogs, I prefer hand-written ones over something automatically cobbled together. Typically, they are just utter rubbish in my experience.

(#nlfkqhq) @shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe that is helpful to you: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt2html/issues/12#issuecomment-20792

(#fgmljga) @prologic@twtxt.net Awwww, I wanna run my hands through this fur so badly! :-)

I kind of hate conventional commit messages: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary

but I am loving reading RFC 2119: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt

(#xckgvxa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

(#xckgvxa) @prologic@twtxt.net No beak, no feathers, … looks suspicious! That’s probably a weird mammal!!1! 😅🤣

(#3dtawna) Confirmed it’s called Tao Tao 🤣

(#hcgd6ia) @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Aren’t yhere onlu 12 puzzles this year? 🧐

(#xckgvxa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de What about a drop bear? 🧐🤣😆

(#nlfkqhq) @shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Are you using your Gitea username instead of got@ ? Are you forwarding auth?

(#xckgvxa) @prologic@twtxt.net Well, to be fair, if you show me any picture of a penguin (or in fact any bird), I’ll go “awwwwwww 😍” for a little while. 😅

(#3dtawna) @bender@twtxt.net are you able to send me a video recording of how that sounds because I don’t think that that’s what they called it at the breakfast? 🤣
