The good Samaritan @stigatle, very nice! :-) Wow, just wow. This is absolutely insane. Two meters of snow. I never experienced anything close to this myself. Not a single time. Maybe at the very most a meter at a trip with the scouts. Is this a somewhat normal amount of snow in your region? Now just relax. :-)
These are some very nice shots from summer and autumn 2023, @win0err! No surprise, the sun shining through the trees and the sunset are my absolute favorites in this series. :-)
@movq Absolutely worth it.
@stigatle Ah, perfect! Let's hope the snowplow visits your street soon. :-)
@movq Always puts our own existence into perspective. It's nothing. :-)
@stigatle Oh my goodness, how sick is that!? What a day you had. Wind picks up at the moment, gusts up to 70km/h, also tomorrow. Probably a joke compared to what you experience. Stay safe and all the best to you. :-)
@stigatle Holy cow, this is crazy! My hair froze maybe five times in my entire life. But by far not as much as that. Also looks like you have quite some wind. Phew, happy shovelling, I guess. We've got 9°C at the moment, 5°C in the night, must be well below zero at your place.
@jason Let's fork another one. ;-) The entry at 2023-12-31T23:30:01Z uses spaces instead of a tab to separate timestamp and message.
Same to you, @win0err! Btw. your twt from 2022-12-20T03:06:16+03:00 is broken, it continues to a new physical line, which makes the continuation invalid.
@jason Confirmed. The previous one is still broken, though.
@prologic I don't think so, his last twt isn't shown in this conversation view either. Just compare with the raw feed. In my opinion it's absolutely correct that the parser is strict in that regard. I mean the format is fairly simple.
The nicer parts are here: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-01-01/ Came across a great spot^Wsecret woodpecker, who jams cameras. Quite annoying, it just suddenly appeared ten meters away from me, essentially perfect conditions one would think.
Small creek
Some cleaning teams have already been active in town. Still, lots of garbage. 01-04 dog training ground, 05-07 forest kindergarden, 08-09 restaurant, 10-12 random street. Yes, this is gun powder and cracker scraps on the car roofs. https://lyse.isobeef.org/silvestermuellhalde-2024-01-01/
@movq Hmmm, you're really lucky. They went completely berserk down here. I didn't capture anything, but it felt like at least five times more than in your clips. :-( It also hears like they spend more money on heavy duty bangers than rockets each year. Anyways, let's investigate all the aftermath on the way to the woods.
I don't know what you did, @jason, but your last twt uses several spaces instead of a tab to separate timestamp and message, rendering this entry invalid. :-? Maybe you need to switch to a proper editor (configuration). ;-)
@movq At which time was that captured? Surprisingly low activities compared to what we experienced here. I didn't look out, but only judging by noise level.
Es ist soweit, die Welt geht nun endlich völlig unter. Komplettes Dauerfeuer aus allen Rohren. Mal gespannt, in was für ner gigantischen Müllkippe wir uns morgen befinden werden. Weil, wieso auch den eigenen Scheißdreck aufsammeln, wenn man den ganzen Dreck bei anderen Leuten vor m Haus veranstalten kann?!
Glad to hear that, @stigatle. Walks in the rain can be super delightful. Fingers crossed for the snow.
@movq Lots of people are too stupid to read clocks. We can only hope for Darwin.
@stigatle Oh well. A quick storm appeared out of a sudden, that caught me by surprise. But already all calm again. Except for all those fucking idiots with explosives.
@movq Ah, the gunsight. :-)
@stigatle Oh, we're far from having snow anytime soon. Five centimeters is the most we can ask for. Enjoy while it lasts. :-)
@xuu I totally forgot about that. Maybe the exact problem to solve was different, it's been too long ago. I only remember being upset about yet another unworldly text book exercise. They could have just used a board and all was good. Why on earth a railway rail? O_o
@movq That's pretty cool! Next level would be to let the half-balls roll properly. :-P The ASCII art remind me of moving unicellular organisms. Cool stuff, but I would not want to program that. :-)
@movq Ging sofort nach Ladenöffnung am Mittwoch los. :-(
@movq Oh! I thought that's some precalculation of the animation maybe. :-D
@movq Hui! What's the deal with the red progress bar thingy at the bottom?
@darren Uuuhhhh, cool! Pun intended. ;-)
@prologic Half a meter is quite a bit narrow.
I might just build one out of timber. The websites I found so far sell either scrap metal as well, their reviews look highly suspicious or the shelves are ridiculously expensive.
@movq It's just that the story around the spec is superfluous in my opinion. But I only checked the first three days, it just got too silly.
@movq It's only my first one so far, too. There haven't been any recordings yet the last time I checked three days ago. :-)
Any recommendations for decent metal shelves? The stuff in the local hardware stores is total junk. Flimsy as hell. Don't need a pallet rack, but something in between for the laundry/storage room.
@jason Cool! Time to fix your feed then, too. ;-)
@xuu Despite that these AoC math text problems are rather silly in my opinion (reminds me of an exercise in our math book where somebody wanted to carry a railroad rail around an L-shaped corner in the house and the question was how long that rail could be so that it still fits — sure, we've all carried several meter long railroad rails in our houses by ourselves numerous times…), these algorithms are really neat!
@movq Well, I simply should have worn gloves. :-/ But I didn't today either, just winged it. :-(
Second coat is on the floor. Third and hopefully final one tomorrow. But I might need a fourth one, depending on how it turns out. I don't want to go overboard, though, it's just a laundry after all.
Hence, I only filled a few holes in the screed before wacking on the paint. Could have easily spent multiple hours for the entire room to make it much smoother. That would have helped with painting. I had to press the roller down quite hard to get the coating into all those fine cracks and holes, the screed was finished rather roughly. Quite exhausting and I even partially broke the paint roller handle. Whoops.
Fuck me dead, what a bloody amazing sunset we had today! Sooo many different colors and it lasted for close to one full hour. Much longer than what we usually get. The photos cover just half an hour, but it's without a doubt the very best stretch. Now, even one and a half hours later, there is still some bits of color left in the dark.
Fucking gorgeous sunset!
Oh! Good job, @darch, these galleries look very cool! I also tested with my own feed and I'm pleasantly surprised how cropping to square images works out. Who'd have thought that?
Hmmmm, concrete paint also adheres very well to skin.
@movq Looks rather bad. Luckily all clear over here. In fact the ford in the forest was rather narrow when we crossed it on Friday, 22nd. We were quite surprised after all that water coming down the sky the days before. There was not much rain since then.
@jason Yarnd doesn't give you the access logs directly, but tells you who follows you. Provided people disclose it to you via the User-Agent header when fetching your feed. It just builds a list of your followers.
@movq Oh boy, what an endeavor, crazy! Ah, good old long it. :-P
Hey @jason, your feed seems to be broken. There are eight twts that use a line break, rendering the continuation lines invalid. The Multiline Extension suggests to use U+2028 instead, if you want to support that. It's not in the official Twtxt Specification. https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/multilineextension.html
@prologic Just choked on popcorn mate!! Agreed, cinema fees are just ridiculous. Then all the spam before the movie starts, food noises everywhere, people talking and screaming, a tall person decides to sit in front of you, sound is turned up a few notches too high, …
@movq These drawings are nothing special at all, very boring actually. That's the last one laying still around (I censored parts of the notes): https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/rumgemale.jpg But there have been slightly cooler ones in the past. I try to remember to take a photo next year once I make that kind of stuff again.
@bender Fascinating indeed, I checked for updates every few hours. :-)
I cleared out more old school stuff and now my scribbling paper pile easily lasts to the end of my life and beyond. Teachers loved to copy single-sided worksheets and a few exercise books were not full yet, so I was able to tear out the blank pages, too. I love to draw stuff during meetings, but I can't have that many meetings without running out of stock at some point. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/schmierpapier.jpg
@movq Oh wow, I didn't know that. Its high elevation is also very surprising to me. Crazy place. :-)
@stigatle Well, looks like they just have to keep on practicing each week then. ;-) Honestly, it's all about the fun. Doesn't really matter if you win or not. I rarely liked the competition aspects in sport and tried to ignore them as best as I could.
Fuck yeah! :-)
Red glowing sky behind the trees
@bender Anytime mate! Let us know how that goes. :-)
@movq Oh, I'm surprised that it was the complete opposite at your place. But man, this looks really, really beautiful! <3 Fog can be so neat and this is certainly the money shot. You captured a super nice atmosphere.
@stigatle This sounds like an amazing day! Did the trained kids beat you untrained parents? ;-)
@bender These are called compound nouns, or in German "zusammengesetzte Substantive". In this case, "Wald" means "forest" and "Spaziergang" is "stroll" or "walk". It basically works with any nouns. You just take two or more existing nouns and put them together. Unlike English, where you often invent completely new words, in German you just reuse what you already have. With globalization, though, English terms are often just adopted. Sometimes you need a linking "s" or "Fugen-s" as the Germans call it. E.g. in "Abfahrtszeit" (departure time). I'm sure there are rules when to put one, but I honestly have no clue, I just know when I have to use one. :-) It's the thing with mother tongue.
If compound nouns get long and hard to read, one can also put hyphens between them. "Wald-Spaziergang" would also be valid. But, I usually prefer the version without the dashes, especially if only two nouns are involved. Unfortunately, a looot of people neither use a dash nor write them together, but they place a space in between instead, just like lots of other languages, English included, do. But that's wrong, it's called a "Deppenleerzeichen" (funnily also a compound noun), literally a "fool's space".
There are a few cases where a space completely changes the meaning. My most favorite one is a advertisement for a mobile phone contract saying "Ohne Grund Gebühr". That means "Charge for no reason". What they meant instead was "Ohne Grundgebühr", "Without basic fee". :-D
Unfortunately, I do not know of any lists explaining German compound nouns, but let's see what I can dig up. :-)
@stigatle @movq @bender Thank you very much my friends! I'm glad you like them.
I was also a bit surprised and even had to crop 73, there was even more black around. :-) I uploaded the original for better wallpaper experience (it probably only shows how crappy the details really are).
Haha, fits perfectly, @movq. :-D Excellent, thank you, @bender! :-)
This was a beautiful first day of vacation. The sun was out, no clouds in sight and temperatures maxed out at 6°C. There was hardly any wind (except for up at the summit), so a beanie was all that was needed. I stripped the scarf and gloves pretty quickly. I took 651 shots of the nice scenery and was even rewarded with a beautiful sunset. Going through all the photos took me close to two hours. That sucked. But now you can enjoy the 84 photos!
Sun shining through the forest
@movq Hahahhahahaaa! :-D Absolutely brilliant mate!
@movq Luckily, we don't use it in our software.
@movq Haha, lange nicht mehr die Wise Guys gehört. :-D
@stigatle @movq Maybe we have more luck with the ursids next week. Let's see. Or not.
