Right. But not aliens. They are demons exciting hatred and deceiving innocent people.

And a lot of other nasty stuff with it, bugs, spiders, you name it. Didn’t we migrate all this way up north to be free from such Ungeziefer? 😅

Suddenly, VLC crashes when I jump forward in videos. It's 100% reproducible. Reboot didn't fix it. Starting on the shell, I see:

Assertion @p->parent->stash_hwaccel failed at src/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c:649

Turns out, it's this: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=81068 Before I even went online, I assumed that turning off hardware acceleration might help. And it does. Phew!
There was a time when WebKit (I think it was WebKit) stored metadata of downloads in extended attributes. Like the URL you were downloading it from.

The voices in my head won't let me sleep, they say that alien brain slugs are taking over the minds of politicians.
Turns out, there are seven species in Germany (two of them being venomous), but in my wider area there seem to be just the two: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Schlangenarten_in_Deutschland Probably just even one, the common European adder is more to the south, just like I thought. But maybe with the climate getting hotter and hotter, they migrate north to me, too.
@movq That's a very good approach. I have the feeling that requirements engineering seems to be getting more and more a forgotten art these days.
@movq Haha, right. :-D

@prologic There’s another thing to consider: I have a feeling that (some/most/many?) Gopher/Gemini users wouldn’t even *want* that. I’ve heard them say a couple of times: “If you follow me, just drop me an e-mail.” 🤔 I don’t know if this is a widespread opinion or not, but I do feel the need to first gather some feedback from them, before we start drafting a spec. 😅

@movq Yeah your original idea of precent encoding some information about the new follower is probably what we need to think about more. I _think_ it'll also work for Gopher/Gemini folk too right? So essentially new metadata key (_optional_) with some spec for encoding information about the new follower if either a) You don't implement the User-Agent part of the spec or extensions or b)You use a protocol that makes this impossible.

@prologic @movq Looking at the raw feed, there are a six mentions (even prologic) and a seven subjects. From a few years ago, though. :-)
@prologic Ahh, found it, there were some ideas in this thread from January 2022: https://twtxt.net/twt/ansuy4a I haven’t read all of it yet.

@movq Zero wind here for days. Last year, we saw a long string of satellites passing by when we sat at the scout ground around the fire. That looked weird indeed.
For HTTP WebSub is a good simple option here and there is this free inline WebSub hub anyone can use.

@movq Something like that, yeah 🤔

@prologic We basically have no snakes around here. Just the grass snake and the common European adder. Or so I think. While it's super hard to come across the harmless first one, it's even rarer to find the little bit dangerous latter. Both are very shy. I never saw an adder. They probably do not live here in my area. A workmate told the other day that he accidentally run over one with this bicycle as a schoolboy, though.

@movq Yeah, I was happily suprised that the grass snake was still in this good shape.

I've no idea. Not sure how well frogs or toads see in the dark, but I would think if there is some noise coming towards you, you escape away and not towards it. Maybe they did not recognize me as a threat but were just curious?

This larger individual was also a frog or toad. :-) It didn't freak me out at all, it was super cool to watch. But I thought, what an idiot. :-D I mean, hopping against me once is alright, but then trying again is a bit silly. It then stopped and sat next to my boot. About half a centimeter away. I waited a few seconds and carefully moved on.
@movq Sure, but I would have expected that I would have read about it somewhere at least once. Anyway.
@prologic So a new metadata field like this?

# follow_notify = gopher://foo/bar

And we ping that every now and then? 🤔=
