@lyse Nein nein, nichts plattdeutsches. "Eberhardt Eichhörnchen" ist eine nette Alliteration und kommt aus einem Urlaub von vor ein paar Jahren. Auf dem Campingplatz gab es ein Eichhörnchen und der Eberhardt war durch eine Handwerkerwerbung präsent.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I don't think there's anything wrong with an optional distributed network with participating members of the community. As long as it's optional.
@andros this is actually already achieved with yarnd
@lyse Ita more so that with enough data you start to need an index

@lyse I have never used a paper calendar. Before I was 23-24 years old I didn’t use a calendar at all. Since I was 24, I have used pocket computer based ones, until today. I have a personal calendar, and a family shared one. So do wife, and children.
Come to think of it, I don’t use writing/scribbling paper at all!

do you mind sharing a picture ?
I can't find something similar here, but my wife gave this one last year, and I've been using it a bit. I'd say it's useful as you've shared.
A horrible picture of the calendar on my desk
We also have a shared calendar in the kitchen for family events, and it's working great.
I got a small desk calendar as advertising gift. It shows three months at once. I'm using this thing since the beginning of this year and I have to say that it turned out to be super useful. I'm happily surprised.
It sits on my desk next to my rightmost monitor. I've set it up so that I can see the last, current and next months. Each morning, I advance the "today window" or whatever its proper name is. This gives me a sense of what date we have today and which I will have forgotten half a minute later already. At most. However, it's easily at hand by turning my head just a few degrees.
With the last month still showing, I had several occasions so far where a date in the past popped up in a meeting. I could easily tell when something happened, how long ago that was. Or how many days or weeks are left until we have to deliver something, etc.
In hindsight, this is absolutely no surprise at all. But I still find it fascinating. I'm now actually wondering why I never had something like that before. How could I live without that thing? Sure, I pulled up a calendar on my computer, ncal -w3
or so. But I always hated the inverted ncal
output, necessary for showing week numbers, though. Having a paper calander right next to my screen at all times is sooooo much more handy.
So, do yourself a favor and think about whether such a desk calendar might be useful to you.
The only annoying thing is that the "today window" moves too easily. It slips down by its own. I reckon it wants me to regularly interact with it, so that I memorize the current date.
@andros If something fits in a CSV file, it typically doesn't require a database. I agree with that. Depending on the application, more complicated queries might benefit from a database, though. I don't know awk very well, but I could imagine that grep, sed and cut reach their CSV processing limits rather quickly when you have to deal with escaped (multiline) fields.
I only very rarely have to deal with CSV files or databases in my day to day life. Maybe, these classic Unix tools offer some tricks I'm not aware of. When I have some more complicated CSV input, I generally reach for Python.
@eapl.me @arne @andros Thanks mates!
Hmmm, Eberhardt. Ist das eine plattdeutsche Sache? Dass ich den flinken Nagern so lang zuschauen konnte, war ein seltener Glücksfall. Normalerweise sind die nach fünf oder spätestens zehn Minuten wieder aus dem Sichtfeld verschwunden.
@movq Yeah, horizontal scrolling is an invention right from the devil himself. :-D It's awful, I can't stand it.

well (insert stubborn emoji here) 😛, word blog
comes from weblog, and microblogging could derivate from 'smaller weblog'. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Microblogging
I'd differentiate it from sharing status updates as it was done with 'finger' or even a BBS. For example, being able to reply; create new threads and sharing them on a URL is something we could expect from 'Twitter', the most popular microbloging model (citation needed)
I like to discuss it, since conversations usually are improved if we sync on what we understand for the same words.
pls elaborate on a 'p2p database', 'all story' and 'Registries'.
My first thought takes me to something like secure-scuttlebutt
which it's painful to sync data using clients, and too slow compared to downloading a text file.
Also I'd like for twtxt to avoid becoming an ActivityPub. Works well but it's uses too many resources IMO.
https://kingant.net/2025/02/mastodon-the-cost-of-running-my-own-server/
I'm defending being able to self-host your Web client (like you'd do with a Wordpress, twtxt is a micrologging, at the end), instead of federated instances, so in a first thought I'd say Registries have many disadvantages being the first one that someone has to maintain them active.
Com a crise política a decorrer, é fácil não prestar atenção ao que entretanto a classe política vai fazendo. Assim, vale a pena destacar este alerta da #zero :
Ideias veiculadas nas últimas semanas para forçar a componente rodoviária na Terceira Travessia e construção de novo túnel rodoviário Algés-Trafaria são inaceitáveis
Na sequência das notícias que vieram recentemente a público que dão conta de que o governo terá decidido propor duas novas travessias rodoviárias sobre o rio Tejo, a ZERO considera inaceitável que, num momento em que as emissões do setor dos transportes colocam gravemente em risco as metas climáticas do país, sejam apresentadas ideias que agravariam seriamente esses riscos através do aumento de capacidade dos acessos rodoviários à capital do país.
Quando a principal prioridade em mobilidade urbana deve ser a redução significativa do uso de transporte individual, a diminuição dos tempos de viagem no transporte público e compartilhado, além da eletrificação dos veículos de grande circulação, é incompreensível que se invista tempo e recursos na busca por formas de financiar grandes obras, como a construção de rodovias entre Algés e Trafaria e na ponte ferroviária essencial Barreiro-Chelas, que inevitavelmente aumentariam o uso de carros[...].

@prologic We often turn to a database when we can use a plain text file, such as a CSV. With sed or awk, you can run simple queries without using a database.
Did I get the context right? 😀

Today I learned how to use TestCafé. It is a E2E framework.
I needed it because I wanted to write a script that would launch a browser in the background, log me in with a username and password, and return the cookie value with the token ID. The goal is to perform tests with the token.

If I had the time and energy I would:
- Make a #ThonnyIDE plug-in to launch #JupyterLab from the Thonny GUI interface (using Thonny's #Python #virtualenv;
- Write some code to convert #geoDataFrames with a graphic attributes column into #py5 styled shapes;
- Make a search interface to my daily sketch-a-day sketches and fix the RSS.
You're all wrong 😑 @anth will happily tell you (_hopefully_) that we've been doing this whole "microblogging" / "status update" thing decades earlier than anything you've ever seen in the form of finger
🤣 and "plan" files 😅
@kat Yeah okay, I'll see if I can reproduce this silly nonsense version string 🤣 cheers! 🍻
@andros Yeah I _think_ @xuu has built some interesting stuff around this? 🤔
@andros I'm not entirely sure what this means:
> development that requires a database
Obviously I wasn't in the discussion so I feel like I'm missing some context here 🤔

The other day, after a discussion online, we came to the conclusion that using awk+sed+tr could replace much of the development that requires a database. However, using SQLite to have a SQL syntax isn't a bad idea either. What do you think?

I'd need to think about it deeply, but at a first sight, nanoblogging
would be a simple text (like the original twtxt spec, aimed for TUIs), and microblogging
(like Twitter was a few years ago), would be about sharing texts, images, videos, GIFs, links, and perhaps Markdown styling.
Why? You have shorter messages than in a blog, but you may add almost anything you could do in a blog.
Buuut... who knows?

I watched two squirrels this morning for about half an hour: https://lyse.isobeef.org/eichhoernchen-2025-03-11/ They were super crazy fast. Also, they bit off plenty of twigs and carried them around, not sure where they put them. I've never seen them do that before. Once more I realized that I need a better zoom.

@aelaraji I cannot tell you either. I don't know the difference. :-)
I’ve never liked the behavior of OpenBSD’s shell where it just scrolls horizontally:
https://movq.de/v/1371f7efbc/vid-1741714971.mp4
But now I’m *this close* to implementing the same thing in my own shell – because it’s probably *much, much easier* than multiline stuff. 😅

Black swans occur when an event with a high negative impact but low probability occurs.
regardless of the technical maintenance and creating backdoors for the sake of the maintenance and put the risk in front of the security calls the black swans immedietly.
looks like CVE-2025-27840 can't be triggered remotely by Bluetooth, radio signals, or over the Internet, meaning they do not pose a risk of remote compromise of ESP32 devices
@kat @prologic When I make dev
on current master, I get a proper version. Same with make server
