@movq Despite you claim it to be pretty simple, rest assured, you're still a wizard to me. :-)
@movq Interesting, yes. I didn't know that.

No AI being used is really great. However, the same clips shown over and over again and some images being mirrored was quite annoying to me. Also, there were some quite terrible computer animations and sometimes the narration and picture didn't match at all. Talking about the medieval period and then showing an image from the 18th hundred or so. What the heck?

These production issues made me sceptical pretty much early on. So I quickly crosschecked Wikipedia. But it seems spot on from what I've read. Very good. Also, the narrator's voice was really nice to listen to.

Eels are fascinating creatures. :-)

@lyse Nice! And I didn’t look out the window at all. Was watching eels. 😂

@dce Oof, that’s surprising. I wouldn’t have expected *that* to be so slow. 😳😳😳
@lyse You might enjoy this one: https://github.com/TheMozg/awk-raycaster
Dear dev.alessandrocutolo.it, do you really need to fetch my twtxt feed every 20-30 seconds? 😅 Not that it’s posing a problem, but I feel like this could be optimized. For example, how about using the if-modified-since request header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/If-Modified-Since
@lyse @dce It’s pretty cool, I won’t argue that, but also really simple, to be completely honest. 😅 The BIOS already provides all you need to send data to the printer:

https://helppc.netcore2k.net/interrupt/bios-printer-services

The BIOS actually does provide a great deal of things, which, to me, was one of the most surprising learnings of this project (the project of writing a little 16-bit real-mode OS, that is). It often doesn’t feel like I was writing an operating system – it felt more like writing a normal program that just uses BIOS calls like we would use syscalls these days.

(I’ve also read a lot of warnings, like “don’t use the BIOS for this or that”. Mostly because it tends to be very slow.)

Right, now that I’m reading some comments: I was initially assuming that they would actually make it impossible for distros to provide a 32-bit build (intentionally or unintentionally). But maybe that’s not the case and distros can just continue to ship a 32-bit Firefox …
Is that really necessary? How hard is it to make a 32-bit build? 🤔 Honest question. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2025/09/05/firefox-32-bit-linux-support-to-end-in-2026/
@dce Which Thinkpad specifically is this? “Late-2010s” doesn’t sound very old, to be honest, I wonder why OpenBSD is giving you so much trouble. 🤔
@lyse Oh no! 😱😱😱

Adoro esse ponto reforçado pelo @lr, no Python Fluente! Sempre uso uma frase parecida com essa nas minhas aulas!

«Para entender uma atribuição em Python, leia primeiro o lado direito: é ali que o objeto é criado ou recuperado. Depois disso, a variável do lado esquerdo é vinculada ao objeto, como uma etiqueta colada a ele. Esqueça as caixas.»

@dce Apart from the crap produced in Redmond two decades ago, I only ever used and still happily use Linux, mainly Debian and Ubuntu. I've no idea, but maybe something in there catches your eye: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems (I know, what a silly recommendation.)

@lyse On this ThinkPad, I want to keep it running modern software until it physically breaks, with an emphasis on security and FOSS
@bender Cool, the PDF doesn't have the navigation links between each section, that's indeed a tad nicer. Thanks!

@kat Oh dear, nobody needs bot attacks. :-( Luckily, the web server responding a hell lot quicker today than the last two days.
@kat thank you!!!! just wait until you see what i have cooking :3
@lyse hihi ^^ i did that at first, but i personally i don't like it when websites don't let me change my password when i am already authenticated — fwiw you can view and log out other sessions, if that diminishes this attack vector at all

Well, what are you trying to do on this ThinkPad? That might affect the OS choices.

I really had to laugh when I read your initial comparison. I love it! :-D

I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I'd like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try?

Hmm, gnu.org is slow as heck. Shorter HTML pages load in about ten seconds. This complete AWK manual all in one large HTML page took a full minute: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html Is there maybe some anti AI shenanigans going on?

In any case, I find the user guide super interesting. My AWK skills are basically non-existent, so I finally decided to change that. This document is incredibly well written and makes it really fun to keep reading and learning. I'm very impressed. So far, I made it to section 1.6, happy to continue.
It was raining cats and dogs for a few minutes, I almost couldn't see the houses down in the valley anymore. Pretty sick. :-)

@bender Haha, yeah, we're also better off rolling dice sometimes. I usually don't mind liquid sunshine either. But I have to be prepared for it. As a matter of prudence, I brought my rain jacket along. In the end, I was wet from the inside as well, though. The breathability of this plastic bag isn't as good as they always claim it to be. Especially in summer.

@movq I couldn't agree more! :-)

@lyse Weather’s great at the moment, isn’t it? I like it when it’s cloudy, dark, chilly. 😊
Ariadne explains some of the reasons behind this “Wayback” thingy (rootful X11 on Wayland):

- https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/115147331909980717

They should put this in a FAQ on their website or something. The whole endeavor makes more sense when you look at it like this.
@bender ..if you read the post you would see those are the next planned steps, yes
Three weather services with three different forecasts. We got a little bit rained on, so at least some of them were not completely wrong. The timing was off by an hour, though. And nobody expected the Spanish inqui^W^Wthunder either. It was a nice walk.

Oh cool, as I type this, lighning and thunder very close by now. At most a kilometer away. Glad I'm home and not in the woods anymore. And heavy rain kicks in, too.
@zvava Uuhh, that's nice! And welcome to the twtxt world.

The password change might query the current password as well in order to make it difficult for attackers to change account passwords.
replies and following implemented! next step is further parsing of post contents, rendering threads, and then maybe i can finally start adding remote feeds...! though i kinda wanna redo the whole ui ^^'
