@movq We just had a quick heavy rain shower roll past. Didn't notice storm, though. Be safe!

@mckinley And what about some of the other aspects that make Bitcoin awful. Like the stupid instability of it's fiat conversation price and the stupid amouns of energy it consumes? How does Monero compare?

Good! I guess I'm done setting up my Twtxt. I'll be juggling between the official CLI and Twixter, although I already have a favorite.

@movq Cool, nice progress! :-)
@movq I reckon they mostly ship stuff nowadays. Beware, looks like this website and their marketing is from the last millennium. Their front page is hillarious, so is this company comic: https://tito-international.de/i/comic-of-company (I have no affiliation with them).
@movq Definitely better for them, yeah. :-)
Ah, interesting. Ui, that can hold some water. Certainly looks like a water level gauge to me. Maybe a precaution for a hundred-year flood or something like that. Or is there a dam nearby? Could be a facility to reduce damage in case it breaks.

I took advantage of the last sunny, but also 25°C hot day and hiked in the woods. It was so much more pleasant in the forest than out in the sun. The wind could have been a long stronger with that heat. I was completely soaked.
At one point I thought I better grab my camera out of my backpack, so whenever something comes up, I'm ready. But I was too lazy and thought, well, I just wait until there is a nice subject and keep going instead. No joke, ten meters further I came across two squirrels. A red and a brown one, sitting on a tree at just one and three meters height two meters away from me. If I only had unpacked my bloody cam a few seconds ago! I just watched them sit on the tree and then tried to slowly strip my backpack and grad the cam. It was still booting up when they decided it was enough sitting around and climbed higher. What a silly move on my end, damn.
I tried to improvise some Lyse Street View, but felt really uncomfortable to photograph other people's houses. Somehow my cam produced sooo many blurred shots on the way up still away from the village, it's unbelievable. I scrapped nearly the entire project. Only very few survived. There were heaps of people on the mountain summit, so I quickly left again.

@lyse It’s probably better for them if they’re shy. 😅 But yeah, if they’re used to humans, they won’t run away so easily. At least the ducks won’t – the rails/moorhens do. 🤔
Ahh, I remember those Asperg shots. 😅👍
That whole area with the tunnels and basins is *probably* some sort of “retention basin” (Regenrückhaltebecken), with several levels to reduce the flow. There’s almost never a lot of water in there, though. Not sure if this structure just isn’t used anymore or if it’s too dry. There’s also this “pole”, it’s a bit hard to see, though:
https://movq.de/v/dd71ae14a5/a.jpg
Looks like they’re trying to measure the water height (Pegelstand)? The pole is super high and I doubt that any rainfall will ever reach the top of it. 🤔

There you go, multithreading. 🥳
I tested this in QEMU, which luckily supports throttling disk I/O, so I can make sure that scanning the disk actually takes a while.
https://movq.de/v/f714cfebff/pmdusage.mp4
(Still boggles my mind a bit. When OS/2 2.x came out, DOS was still the norm for us and I didn’t even know what multithreading was. I really didn’t appreciate this operating system enough back then – only now.)

@prologic 0.15 to 0.20 USD sounds about right, compared to small VPS’s like those: https://www.netcup.eu/vserver/vps.php
It’s an interesting offer/concept, btw. Lots of minimal software doesn’t require lots of “oomph” and I’d be fine if my VPS was smaller. 🤔

@mckinley Yea the idea is micro costs to the consumer. No one really does this, that I know of, which is frustrating if you want to run a few small things without the overhead of a whole server or the operational efforts.

@movq I reckon you have to wait a bit for that to happen or just come by one day. :-)
@movq Even just consumer grade. Wow! I also only rarely print anything and I always got third-party toners, never was disappointed with them. Last year I noticed that we have an ink and toner shop in town and bought there. That actually exist over two decades now, but looks extremely inconspicuous.

@movq Oh wow, how cool is that?! :-) Ducks over here are quite shy, unfortunately. In Ludwigsburg on the other hand they are very habituated to humans. I was very surprised to see that when visiting a mate. There were a bunch of them laying on the stairs and I tried to keep my distance to not scare them off. Didn't dare to get closer than maybe five meters or so and was super happy that they stayed. That has always been impossible over here. After we proceeded, some tourists came by and stood a meter next to them or so. That was crazy for me to see. :-)
Yeah, walking next to a highway is torture. I try to avoid it as much as possible.
Nice! The third photo looks like a Kneipp basin. What's that round tunnel? I love those moss-covered rocks, they just look so beautiful.

@lyse The ducks aren’t too scared of humans. Great story from the first days of Covid in 2020: There were so few humans out and about that the wildlife began to reclaim its place. Those ducks in particular waddled around near the shops – and one of them even went *into* the super market. 😃 Never seen that before or since.
That path leads to a highway, yeah. Or rather under a highway. 😅 The photo with the graffiti shows a short tunnel, the highway is on top of it. It’s usually annoyingly loud, so I don’t go there often.

@lyse I’m surprised as well. It’s one of those big, clunky laser printers:
https://movq.de/v/8a3495c3c2/
But it’s not “industrial grade”, it was a normal consumer printer and cost about 370€. I changed the black toner once and nothing else. Admittedly, the color toners are “worn out” and don’t give great results anymore, but I can’t be bothered as I hardly print anything in color these days. It might be worth buying replacements *now*, though, before they go out of production. 🤔 It’s already impossible to buy original ones, but there are still 3rd party toners. (Wtf? Was this a super popular model?! 😂)
