Here's the plot twist, the phrase "till the cows come home". Hahaha, I never heard this before, but I love it! It's always interesting to me to hear English sayings. Sometimes we have the same in German, sometimes – like in this case – entirely different ones. It's fascinating that even though one hasn't come across proverbs, it's typically still clear from the context what's meant.
Yep, some unexpected language stuff. ;-)

I looked at them sooo many times in order to figure out why my
SCM_CREDENTIALS sending code didn't work. :-D
@bender True.
Last time I was there it was rainy, now we had the exact opposite. After some yummy Chinese lunch we visited the old town. There's some gorgeous timer framing to see. When kept in decent shape, it just looks so dang cool.
Since it was too hot, we rode back by train. Despite the heat and some sections near the roaring Autobahn, this was a nice hike. Would do it again. Only in colder weather, though. I certainly don't wanna trade my comperatively larger (still nothing to other more rural areas), covering forests with the wide open fields and vineyards in summer. That's for sure.

To answer your question: Ideally, you would have replied directly to my reply. :-) The flat conversation model always felt unnatural to me. I just yielded to the community's way of doing it.

It's an interesting comparison. I really should have thought about that.
You're right, the rendering would not be very spectacular. :-)
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I don't know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator I've experienced. Or you could assign 'em the task to build their own twtxt client if they don't have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. That's how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which I'm very thankful of.

@movq I have to admit, I didn't follow the topic very closely, but I was under the impression that there were more votes on location-based addressing. But maybe I'm completely wrong. Anyway. I don't have the energy to be part of a fundamental debate.
As @bender says, that sounds like a bot. I'd just block the IP address, hoping it doesn't change all the time. But then you know for sure that it's the AI fuckwits.
Also, the devil in me thinks it's funny to swap out the repo in question for something entirely different. :-D
We started with a simple traffic light phase and then added pedestrian crossing buttons. But only painting it on the canvas. In our computer room there was an actual traffic light on the wall and at the very end of the school year our IT basics teacher then modified the program to actually control the physical traffic light. That was very impressive and completely out of reach for me at the time. That teacher pulled the first lever for me ending up where I am now.
I actually never walked on that road before and discovered that this was a dead end. There's usually at the very least a foot path on which to continue when passing a farm. Not this time, though. I didn't want to stamp down the high grass to cut across country, so I had to walk back maybe 150 meters. Not too bad.
now() or the message's creation timestamp? I reckon the latter is the case, but it's undefined right now. Then we can discuss and potentially tweak the proposal.Also, I see what you did there in regards to the reply model change poll. ]:->
begin and end blocks for ifs or loops. For example I always thought that I needed to have a button somewhere, even if hidden. That gave me a handler procedure where I could put code and somehow call it. Two or three years later, a new mate from the parallel class finally told me that this wasn't necessary and how to do thing better.You know all too well that back in the day there was not a whole lot of information out there. And the bits that did exist were well hidden. At least from me. Eventually discovering planet-quellcodes.de (I don't remember if that was the original forum or if that got split off from some other board) via my best schoolmate was like finding the Amber Room. Yeah, reading the ITG book would have been a very good idea for sure. :-)
In hindsight, a console program without the UI overhead might have been better. At least for the very start. Much less things to worry about or get lost.
Hence, I'd recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice, it doesn't require a lot of surrounding boilerplate like, say Java or Go. It also does exceptionally well in the principle of least surprise.
I came across an unfortunately dead salamander on the forest road, some fenced in deer, heaps of sheep, some unmagnetic cows (some were aligned very roughly north-south, but mainly with the axis of the best view I believe), a maybeetle and finally an awesome sunset. Not too shabby! The sheep were mehing all the time, that was really lovely to hear. And the crickets were already active, too. Didn't expect them to hear yet. I tried to record the concert, but the wind messed it all up. Oh well.

and "Reply 2" was selected, pressing
A to reply to the parent should have picked "Message". However, a reply to "Reply 2" was composed instead. The reason was a precausiously introduced safety guard to abort the parent search which stopped at "Subreply", because its subject didn't match "Reply 2"'s. It was originally intended to abort on a completely different message conversation root. Just in case. Turns out that this thoght was flawed.Fixing bugs by only removing code is always cool. :-)
But this also happened to me all the time already before the pandemic. Time just flies and accelerates even more the wiser we get.

Contents of the easter basket, not the pliers, thoughIt was the first time this year that we had half proper April weather and a thunderstorm in general. It started off with clear sky and lovely sunshine. Right after arvo lunch it started to rain, so we went into the hut. Then, the sun returned.
On the way back with the growling thunder in the distance coming closer and closer we escaped the rain just perfectly. A minute or two after we reached the car, wet stuff started coming down the sky. Not even half a minute after opening the front door, it poured like crazy. Lucky twice today. There's beautiful sunshine again by now. It smells absolutely great after the rain. I love it!

I opened up all the photos in new tabs and went through them. For a second, I wondered that it was snowing at your place right now. :-D
That made me realize that so far we basically had nearly no April weather whatsoever. May might be full of it then, let's see. :-)
Watching "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga" in German the evening before, this thing totally looked like a trap to us. So, we decided to sit on another, more rustic bench nearby. :-) Oh neat, it turns out, there is a much longer four part series of the documentary in English on YouTube. Highly recommended! This is part one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbhPIK-oBvA
Judging by the surroundings, I think this is actually a forest altar or something of that nature. But it looks like they started with the chappel's reinforcement steel and then they ran out of money before completing it or even placing the concrete forms. :-P
Yeah, 78 might be photo of the month. It's one of my favorites.
Mt. StuifenMt. Stuifen is 757 meters above sea level, has a small shelter and a barbie area and is still the most boring one of the three. It's also the one farthest away from me. Not sure why it has two summit crosses, but both aren't at the summit. The third, makeshift one at the real summit was gone by now. Four years ago, somebody had cobbled one together and put it up.
We bought our tucker at a local bakery on our way. This was the first time I tried a Teufelsbrezel (lit. devil's pretzel), a lye pretzel with pepper. Haven't come across that anywhere else. But I can certainly recommend that, it's yummy.
We were glad when we were finally back home after some 26 or 27km. I won't do much today and let my feet rest. Another friend called for a much, much shorter hike tomorrow.

sqlitebrowser also accessing the database in parallel to debug the original issue.So far, I have not found the exact reason why some replies don't show up. When I do not filter for unread messages and show all, though, I actually see them. So, there's that.
Apparently, my query to build up the message tree must be incorrect. It somehow misses seven messages. They all are orphaned, maybe that's a clue. However, generating missing root messages (and thereby including the replies) typically works just fine. Hmm.
I just heard the fire brigade respond here with their compressed air sirens, too.
If you let fire take effect properly, it helps to reduce density.
Context menu item to create a new directory and directory name dialogThe following goes in _~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/galmkdir.desktop_:
i
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,inode/directory
Actions=Waldspaziergang;
[Desktop Action Waldspaziergang]
Name=Heutigen Waldspaziergang anlegen…
Icon=folder-green
Exec=~/src/gelbariab/galmkdir "%f"
In order to update the KDE desktop cache and make this action menu item available in Dolphin, I ran:
h
kbuildsycoca5
The referenced
galmkdir script looks like that:h
#!/bin/sh
set -e
current_dir="$1"
if [ -z "$current_dir" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 DIRECTORY" >&2
exit 1
fi
dir="$(kdialog \
--geometry 350x50 \
--title "Heutigen Waldspaziergang anlegen" \
--inputbox "Neues Verzeichnis in „$current_dir“ anlegen:" \
"waldspaziergang-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)")"
mkdir "$current_dir/$dir"
dolphin "$current_dir/$dir"
This solution is far from perfect, though. Ideally, I'd love to have it in the "Create New" menu instead of the "Actions" menu. But that doesn't really work. I cannot define a default directory name, not to mention even a dynamic one with the current date. (I would have to update the .desktop file every day or so.) I also failed to create an empty directory. I somehow managed to create a directory with some other templates in it for some reason I do not really understand.
Let's see how that works out in the next days. If I like it, I might define a few more default directory names.~_
Depending on the hour, town halls and also graveyards are typically good options for public toilets. But yeah, you have to find them first.
