@prologic @eldersnake Alright, thanks, mates! I just had a look at uni, it appears to be quite sweet.
@ullarah "Shoosh" is quite a nice story and well produced. :-)
@movq No idea, I get this mail every single fucking time. Can't remember when this started, but at least one, one and a half years ago?
@prologic Hahaha. ;-) How's the hedge trimming process going? All neat and shiny now?
@prologic Oh man, how sad! :-( When visiting Canberra or ACT/NSW in general I saw plenty of mobs right next to houses, on golf courses and in the wild on bush hikes. You need to move south. ;-)
@fastidious What a blue shaddow from her pillow! How far are the tug boat and container vessel away?
@fastidious No ocean around here. :-/ That looks kind of pretty windy on this coast. Speaking of wind, except for once, we didn't have any real winds this autumn. If I wanted to fly my kite, I had very bad luck. On said day I would have offtaken as well.
@fastidious Oh yeah! With that kind of sky getting up is quite easy.
@fastidious What an old banger in a sweet scenery! I imagine its mileage must be terrible.
@kt84 I just have sparkling water to chink glasses. On that note, g'night.
@prologic Yikes, I don't want to swap places. I'm enjoying my 5°C foggy night.
@prologic Even birds!? :-D Don't forget the roos. :-P
@fastidious @prologic Actually, twtxt makes me rethink emojis, too. I probably still go for a smiley translation in tt, but let me sleep on this. So how's that Unicode keyboard working exactly, prologic?
@prologic Sounds like a good Saturday activity. :-)
@fastidious See, nobody ain't no need these little pictures. They will never catch on. Ha!
@prologic I never look in my timeline. In the beginning I thought, what's this crap? And then I just ignored it ever since. Always go straight to where I wanted to be in the first place. It annoys the hell out of me, that after login I'll not be sent back to where I originally came from. And for each login I get this fucking device verification mail. Esp. the latter one makes me just log in if I absolutely have to. So I often don't reply to comments because I think of all the hazzle and then I go: na, scratch it. So GitHub even hinders contribution. But I'm a weirdo, I know. Only terrorists and I are clearing cookies, that's for sure.
@prologic At first I thought that was a solar eclipse. :-D
@movq @xuu Bwahahhaa, yes, I'm a poor guy with just very little emojis in my terminal. But I might integrate emoji.demojize(…) into tt, just as @fastidious recommended to me in IRC. Why use a shiny terminal when you can have such lovely workarounds!?
@stigatle That sounds great. If the working conditions are awesome, I don't see a reason to switch companies. In any case, all the best! :-)
Isn't it beautiful? What a piece of art. 
The current world record of yarn fork chain length
And I can always just use a wider monitor if things tend to get out of control.
@movq tt has also a bit more indentation space left.
@movq Glad that you like them. :-)
@movq No doubt, they are. On the other hand he was always the one who said, that people shouldn't interpret things into messages that aren't there. So to me it appears that @adi didn't live by his own "rule" that time. I truely cannot imagine that @prologic wanted to be rude and scare him off. In any case, it's a pity how it went.
@stigatle Congrats, mate, on to the next 15 years! :-)
@fastidious That yarn was indeed *VERY* funny to read. :'-D @thecanine started it off brilliantly! Yes, unfortunately, the only useful comment hit him somehow hard.
@fastidious Very good question. Hmm, maybe remove the cache? My assumption would be, that on the next successful fetch (HTTP 200 rather than 304) the cache is be repopulated. But this is just wild guessing. I could be completely wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. :-)
Quick, let's fork everything while it is still legal.
@fastidious I reckon --max-cache-items and --max-cache-ttl are your new friends. :-)
@movq I don't know, but some days ago we got this as the best clue. Not sure why this twt doesn't show up in the yarn for that topic, maybe some limit evicted it from the cachee in the meantime.
@movq No, it's a cheap model.
@movq Very neat comparison to the exhibition hall! I'm also not getting the platform, I can't think of a single cool project I discovered there. It was always another source. I also tried to look through the projects of other people and never found anything I wanted to contribute or even use. It was also a super exhausting process in retrospect. Maybe I have notifications disabled (I'm also too lazy to check), but I never got an e-mail when somebody I follow starred something. There's also the problem, that I don't get the follower thing for a source code hosting platform. I just don't understand the use case for that. Looks like they tried to make it a social media thing, too (and failed).
@jlj Thanks! Snow has become rare over the last two decades. They forecast snow flakes for the following weekend, though. Let's see how that changes.
My mate and I were really lucky this evening, that we went up our backyard mountain. From the foot we could see a cloud coming in, but still decided to go up just for fun. The sunset wasn't too terrible, but the great stuff was the cloud hitting us up top afterwards, it made for a great gothic film scenery: 
Before the cloud hit us 
Beware of ghosts Six more photos from our trip.
@fastidious Yep, the grayscale looks cooler, I have to admit. :-)
@movq Fricking awesome shots, nonetheless! That's like a billion times better than what I would ever accomplish.
@fastidious Of course I read the other yarn about you missing all the snow.
@forkidious There's a serious fork shortage over here. You shall not have a new one.
Albino chlorophilia #4 from February: 
Quite a bit of snow on top of Mt. Hohenstaufen That must have been still at the beginning of my more regularly hiking program, because I noted that day, that I suddenly was up at the summit. So looks like I didn't expect that to happen. Maybe I just didn't plan ahead and just strolled around, not sure anymore. More photos from that lovely day.
@fastidious Beautiful indeed! Did you convert it to grayscale or did it appear this way for real?
@prologic Nice, so that eclipse was just the moon then? :-D
@jlj Oh man, that is bloody terrific!
@prologic Oh wow, cool! You have a partial eclipse, nice!
@fastidious oh yes, very adorable! :-) @prologic, makes sense, you probably have the Australia setting enabled. :-P
@prologic Huwhat!? What do you mean? It shows correctly here.
@xuu Hmm, will probably do as a temporary workaround. :-)
@prologic I reckon people must hate their families. ;-) No, that was an exception today. At least they told me so.
@fastidious Yup, but you only see them rarely. Now I added the video. I tried to copy the "good" audio parts over the wind noise. Also tried to cut stills out and limit the segments to the movement of our dear fellow, except for the last clip. The first 12 seconds are the cool stuff, you might want to turn off after you've seen the awesome jump: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2021-04-26/
Chlorophilia #3: 
Fox on a meadow in the distance Back in April I went into the woods with a mate and we were really lucky that there was a good headwind blowing. We spotted a fox disappearing over the curve and followed it quietly. At the clearing we saw it again walking down a new logging path. Still below radar level we sneaked in closer. 20 minutes of watching it hunt mice or whatever in the paddock, a bird chirped alarm when I pushed my luck once again, to get an even better position. Off it took into the other woodland. I was really lucky that I got a hunt hump on video. This reminds me, I still have to edit all the clips and give them to my friend! Hold tight…
@prologic I still don't see an alt attribute here. The title works, but the alternative text is missing.
@movq Ta! Haha, didn't catch the poo on the leaves until you pointed it out. :-D
The following photo from this afternoon reflects my mood today morning at 7 o'clock when I saw the invitation for a meeting until 18:30 later on: 
Horse shit on the road with car tire tracks going through So I went outside after lunch and visited our local mountain. @fastidious: Just imagine a gray, misty and cold 6°C day with a very light breeze going around your hat. The liquid manure from the nearby field is slightly making into your nose and you hear the gentle squeaking of your boots on the wet road. Sorry for ruining your day. :-D Enjoy rest of the photos, they're much nicer. Promise! https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2021-11-18/ I on the other hand will continue working now.
@fastidious I didn't know these things existed at that age. I was playing Lego (or maybe Duplo). He's having a very concentrated look with the huge mouse in his hand. :-D
@prologic I did! I will try to resize it tomorrow.
@fastidious Beautiful! And sooo many of them, very cool!
@movq @xuu I see, the 5 GB video password seems like a superior strategy!
@movq Hahaahaaa, this is crazy! :-D They have nice songs in this show.
@movq Nope, never heard of that one. Let me see!
@jlj Haha, it indeed is! :-) @fastidious O_o No thanks, that's way too much, I'm staying over here. :-)
@jlj You can easily beat 6°C I think. ;-) The sun didn't poke through the gray sky, not a single time. My zoom hasn't enough oomph, but I saw a great spotted woodpecker from my window just before lunch: 
Tock, tock, tock
@jlj Very nice! I'd love to be there right now. It's really dark over here.
@fastidious @prologic Thanks mates, I agree. We have some really beautiful spots over here. But there are also plenty of ugly, crappy, loud other ones, which are not joyful at all. I just don't show them to you. :-)
@prologic @jlj @fastidious Yup, very neat indeed. They got the machine sometime this year. You pay one Euro for one liter raw milk, which is also a really good deal. At the shops you pay about 1.10€ for a comparable quality and it is already pasteurised. The farmers get I don't know how many cents, at most 30 or 40 I reckon. Probably even worse. Here the full 1€ goes to the farmer. Granted, he must pay off the machine itself, but still, makes a lot of difference. Win, win. It's really yummy, highly recommended. Depending on the exact route I choose it takes me about 10-15 minutes by pushbike. Today, it is drizzling a bit, so my backpack was covered in moist dirt from the wet and muddy road, but oh well. :-) When I was a little boy my dad and I went to the local farmer with our milk can, that was pretty awesome. It was about 1-1.5km away from our house, so we always walked there. Nowadays, there are milking robots everywhere I believe, nobody is milking by hand anymore. At least I can't imagine. It wouldn't be possible anyways with all the 50 cows (or how many there are). Small farms are all closed or about to finally die out. Haha, not sure whether milk was diluted with water here as well.
@fastidious Regarding camera and postprocessing, see this twt. Didn't have all the issues at that point in time. So 100% pure back then.
@fastidious Ta! That was quite a long time ago, so I don't remember exactly. I'm pretty sure the temperatures were in the 15°C range, since it was back in February. We didn't have snow anymore, but I imagine the nights were still pretty icy. Going back a few days I still see frozen lakes. In fact I have a photo from that trip showing us in t-shirts with jumpers tied around our hips. Our winters are really dry, not humid at all. Birds were probably chirping, we were surrounded by the lovely smell of fresh, cool forest air. Just a quiet and pieceful three and a half hours in the woods. On that day I went with a good mate to check on the bridge another mate and I built years ago when riding our mountain bikes and discovering this spot. Back then the area was a bit more accessible.
@prologic Yes, they all need to be burned down thoroughly.
@prologic @jlj Hahaha, I have made somebody else milk the cows for me. :-D In the next door village there's a milk vending machine at the dairy farm, so I just went there in the morning and filled up my two bottles. 
cow stable 
milk vending machine Unfortunately, I do not live in the countryside, I'm in a town. :-(
@jlj Very nice! I just came across mine, too, when I sorted through my calendar scenes..
Chlorophilia #2: Moss in February 
Moss between trees It doesn't make it in the calendar either.
