@abucci Yeah! 🤣 Sadly I've had to take down the tldraw instance. a) it's super old and b) for some reason it requires 256M of memory just to start without getting killed?! 😱 wtf?! I wish I was more experienced with this Yarn/NodeJS ecosystem and could wrap my puny little head around this stuff, but I just can't 🤦‍♂️

Thinking of taking down excalidraw too and just leaving wbo up. It's the most lightweight, versatile and "just works"™ -- Even if its missing some things I like out of tldraw (like snapping to grid)

I used to be a big fan of a service called cocalc, which you could also self host. It was kind of an integrated math, data science, research, writing, and teaching platform.

I hadn't run it in awhile, and when I checked in with it today I found their web site brags that cocalc is now "extensively integrated with ChatGPT".

Which means I can't use it anymore, and frankly anyone doing anything serious shouldn't use it either. Very disappointing.
@prologic wow! The place to go for whiteboard tech is mills.io.

That stinks about Excalidraw. they've been saying that (working on adding collab/self hosting) for over a year.
And here's all three self-hosted "drawing" apps I've now since launched:

- wbo.mills.io
- excalidraw.mills.io
- tldraw.mills.io

Scratch draw.mills.io, going to put both excalidraw and an older version of tldraw up that I got working (_including collaboration, but sadly relies on a 3rd-party service called LiveBlocks to work, which I have some keys for_)

We installed an electric shutter/door in a mate's shed. The four-core wire from the motor had to be extended with a five-core (that's all we had on hand). However, I forgot to mark on the other end which of the two black cores was the dead one. Also, we didn't remember whether black or brown was up or down. So my mate just hooked them up somehow. And we were very lucky. Correct on the first attempt. Even the labeled buttons weren't reversed. In return, we had all sorts of cable management issues in the switch boxes to get to this point.

Nice colors again this evening:

@movq Die, die danach fragen, haben doch keinen blassen Schimmer, was sie da eigentlich fordern. Ich kann mir beim besten Willen nicht vorstellen, dass die wirklich wissen, was da drinsteht. Das wird halt gemacht, weil es schon „immer“ so gemacht wurde oder von irgendeinem anderen Ahnungslosen weiter oben in der Hierarchie vorgeschrieben wird. Das ist halt eine Endlosschleife, die keiner durchbrechen will. Eine reine Gelddruckmaschine für die einen, die das Regelwerk vertreiben, Schulungen durchführen, Abnahmen machen usw. Eine gigantische Geldverbrennung für die, die am Ende dann das in ihrer täglichen Arbeit ausbaden müssen.

Wir haben Spaß mit ASPICE. Das bringt dann das V-Modell mit in die agile Entwicklung. Funktioniert bestimmt ganz großartig. In der konkreten Umsetzung bei uns sind dann irgendwelche Schrottprogramme verpflichtend vorgeschrieben, die nur auf Windows laufen. Wir kotzen alle im Strahl. Aktuell ziehen sich die Lizenzbeschaffungen aber noch hin.

Thank you, @prologic and @movq!

Not sure if hats are prevalent these days again. I just wear a cowboy hat for very practical reasons. Couldn't care less about fashion. ;-) As a bonus, the hat looks nice, I think.

Yep, certainly don't want to trade temps with 'em.
@movq No other humans around is always great. And ducklings are super sweet. No idea when they hatch.
@movq Hihihi, ja! :-D

> "Das eine war ein Wildschwein und das andere war offensichtlich eine Raubkatze, eine Löwin. Die beiden Herren haben auch ein Handyvideo aufgenommen und auch erfahrene Polizisten mussten bestätigen, es handelt sich wahrscheinlich um eine Löwin", so Keip weiter. — https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/beitrag/2023/07/brandenburg-berlin-kleinmachnow-loewin-wildtier-entlaufen.html

Da stellt sich dann die Frage, auf welchen Bereich sich deren Erfahrung erstreckt. Grundlegende Zoologie ja schon mal nicht.
@prologic @abucci How nice! Text doesn't work for me, though. I usually have the problem, that websites steal my keyboard input that is meant for Tridactyl. This time, however, everything goes to my Firefox extension and doesn't reach the website. Hmm. Centuries ago, I used http://jave.de/ for ASCII art drawing.
I take it back. Excalidraw is like tldraw--you can integrate it into a Javascript front end if you want. Which means technically you could self-host it if you wanted, but you'd have to write your own front end code to embed it, and host that code somehow.
@prologic I see what you mean about tldraw. I looked at their github repository and it seems like they are distributing it as an npm package for people who want to include a whiteboard in their Javascript-based frontend. I didn't see a way to just launch the thing.

I have half a mind to write a little scala frontend that sets up one of these, since scalajs makes it very easy to use these Javascript web component things while making it look like you're writing scala.
@prologic I'm a big fan of https://excalidraw.com , especially the collaborative editing feature, but I don't think you can self-host it 👎

I'm looking for an old game from the mid 1990ies, probably DOS. (Not sure if it really existed or if I dreamed it up.)

Outdoors, alien planet, SciFi setting. 3D, voxelized landscape. The terrain was very open, you could move around freely. There was water in some parts of the terrain. You were piloting some sort of hovercraft or helicopter. I think you were also able to jump very high/far. There were few enemies and the entire gameplay was somewhat obscure -- I cannot remember the actual goal anymore, probably just "kill all enemies".

I think "energy balls" played an important part. I think they looked somewhat like the blue balls in "Descent" (those added energy to your shields), but I don't know anymore what their purpose was -- were those the projectiles you were shooting?

*Maybe* you were able to destroy the terrain.

I cannot remember any kind of narrative or story.

I think it was a relatively unknown game, not a big hit. It was not Comanche, nor Earth Siege 2.

Since training ML systems is even more expressive than that, the existence of such successful contests seems worrying
