i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it's just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it's an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it's capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn't gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i'm ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i'll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well~

@lyse it'd be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i'd have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda "sew with me" video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that'd be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.
magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i'd LOVE to get a tape camcorder

My #fridayreads is CBA vol 58, the "C'est Bon Anthology" entitled "Modern Glossolalia or the Erosion of Meaning".
How do we talk when words that used to mean certain things have become so vague that they can be freely appropriated by anyone, for any purpose? And what's up with the currently so prevalent flirting with war, fascism and the dehumanization of anyone who doesn't fit into the unspoken and conveniently unspecified national identity?
Released in 2022, it feels even more up-to-date today.

@kat I'm an absolute sucker for all sorts of crafts videos, mostly wood and metal working, but also leather and construction. So obviously, your Tux sewing project would make a good video in my opinion. :-D (But I fear it would require way more work than just talking into the camera. Think of camera setup time with framing and focusing, repositioning a couple of times, editing, yada, yada, yada. I documented wood working build processes in my shop in the past and it made the projects take easily ten times as long, if not more. So, I stopped doing that.)
As kids we recorded some action films on magnetic tape camcorders. That was also great fun.
Couldn't find anybody to join me this arvo, so I went alone. Only in the forest I began to see real snow. And then of course with each meter of elevation gain. I reckon there were 5-6 cm at the summit, so there is still room for improvement. The weather was absolutely stunning, a sunny blue sky alternating with clouds, most of my hike hardly any wind and 1°C. Climbing the mountain was a different story, the wind hit me hard.
I just love the wind-brushed formations of ice on the twigs and branches. They look soooo incredibly cool. It was kinda hard to capture them on film with the wind pushing everything around.
On the way down I took the narrow and currently fairly slippery path that was closed for some weeks due to felling activity. It looks so different with heaps of trees on the ground now. They've also sawn down the tree with the small hole near the ground (which I think I've shown a few times in the past). The beech in 52 to 54 was probably hit by lightning a few months ago. At least it's completely charred.

@kat @movq Right!? :-) (In retrospect, must be later than elementary school, but still at least a decade old.)
Haaa! It was only now that I realized that gentoo is indeed a penguin species, I never knew that. Nice! I was always under the impression that the Gentoo distribution was simply named after an invented word. Well, I was so wrong. Thanks for teaching me. :-)

@movq I never used DOS or OS/2, but I fully agree with you. A Unix shell with its tool landscape is hard to beat (photo/video viewing/editing aside).
@movq That's so damn cool mate! I went through the code, but this lowlevel stuff is really not my favorite cup of tea. Having said that, it was actually *really nice* to see the abstractions and APIs work together and how things are getting indeed very readable in the userland programs. That's easy to track in this extremely tiny OS implementation. Excellent work, keep on hacking!
Now, you just have to quickly add a network stack and then can write a twtxt client for it! ]:->
@movq That's neat, good old $\sum_{i=1}^{9} i^3$ (let's see if yarnd's markdown parser has LaTeX support or not ;-)).

@ I saw some of your videos, and I can say you do do well at keeping the flow. Rambling is what most of podcasters do. Heck, even professional news casters! That’s to say, we are all used, and kind of expect it. ☺️
need to come up with ideas for camcorder videos... i have one but it's just 'talk in front of camera about fave songs i listened to in 2024' and i wanna do more fun things even though rambling in front of cam is already fun af

@prologic oh it's ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i'm having but i will figure it out!

@bender It's true! 🤣 It's a total garbage nonsense title. But the actual research paper that the video references is real. Apple did in fact do a bunch of research and proved what we already know 🤣 -- That is, AI is stupid 🤣

Going to drop another bombshell: I don’t watch YouTube videos, but least those with sensationalist, click bait, titles. 😂
It needs to be said: Retrocomputing and old systems like DOS or OS/2 are fun and all, but a UNIX shell and its userland tools are the most powerful things I’ve ever seen. You can pry that from my cold dead hands. 😅

Rode my bicycle into town. What the hell is wrong with some of these motorists!? Here in right lane traffic land, a car reversed out of the driveway on the left into the road and nearly hit me. And this happened twice! If you don't fucking see, how about you go slowly and not just hope that nobody is coming!? The first one even decided to honk at me. SUV drivers confirming prejudice…
Well, at least I could help a lady with transfering her child in a pram.
@kat Only the schedule syntax. :-D
Excellent, thank you very much @aelaraji! :-) It doesn't set a custom User-Agent header, though.

A pointer is basically a reference to a variable. It is typically used with structs and especially in pointer receiver methods so that you can modify fields of a struct.
