Was a really nice trip to the dogpark, he got to play a lot with a beagle, they ran for an hour and had fun. :)
Heading off to the dog park tonight, will be nice for our dog to run as much as he likes! It's a plot of forest that's fenced in, and it's big enough for you to do some walking there as well and train on recall and all that good stuff.
@prologic I think the API is is fine :). But to be honest - one thing that would help me is a commandline curl example on how to upload a image, I take these curl commands through a converter that makes it into libcurl c++ code which I then use :) If you could help me with such a image upload curl example then I'd appreciate it! (I'm currently missing media upload).. And having that feature would be great! :)
I need to do a big rewrite on how the yarn desktop client handles the status widgets, this is because I want links and such, and to do that I have to rewrite the status message code, it takes a bit if time to do it, but I kinda know what to do - I just need to dive in and get it done. Been thinking about it for a while, I think it's time to get started on it. Also makes the code much cleaner then what it is now.
Good evening everyone! Damn nice with vacation, nice to sleep in every day :) Weather has not been good, really cold, feels like autumn to be honest, and lots of wind. Not summer weather at all these days.
Norway has had it with Meta, threatens $100K fines for data violations.

That's it for today :) Time to catch some zzz's. Good night to you all! New day tomorrow!

Keep in mind it's early still, but a lot of things works and I use it all the time my self..
Threads is following Twitter by getting rate limits and all that good stuff.. hahaha
Kids has gone to bed, watching some youtube before they fall a sleep, Marlyn is playing PUBG, husky is sleeping on the couch after a long late evening walk, and I'm sitting on the couch listening to podcasts and just chilling. Nice way to end this Monday.
Finally the rain and wind stopped, now we'll have nice weather for the rest of the week it seems. Happy to see that! :)
_House Republicans Accidentally Released a Trove of Damning Covid Documents
New documents show a scientist calling a lab leak “highly likely” — after drafting a paper claiming the opposite._

Portioned out some raw meat for the dog, we usually buy it as frozen meatballs, but they have bigger frozen sauages of raw meat that you can buy, more meat for less price. So decided to go for that now, so got my axe and made it into daily portions.
@movq Very cool! Amazing animal!
Just compiled the Yarn desktop client on OpenSuse, was no issues getting it to run there, I love how portable it is. I initially wanted to run OpenBSD on this laptop, but it would not detect wifi, which is a dealbreaker for me, so I installed OpenSuse tumbleweed instead, and will run OpenBSD in a VM and try from there instead.
Yeah, that would be nice! At least when you think about the way things are going these days..
@osnews OpenBSD is a great OS! I really do like it, especially their ports system, very easy to compile stuff from source on any supported platforms.
no wonder he cut off API access and added rate limit.
why am I not surprised?… https://uk.pcmag.com/ai/147757/elon-musk-will-train-his-ai-project-using-your-tweets
Enjoy the day everyone! :)
@movq Thank you! :)
vacation starts now :)
so, people who shitposts on twitter is earning big bucks it seems.. spew hate and crap and get big payouts.
@prologic haha, money goes out fast. but its nice too see some savings grow a bit.
Today one crypto I invested in went up over 70%, the other 20%. The bank I have fucks us over with the current economy, and earns record amounts for themselves. This is why I put savings in crypto and not in the bank. Im not trying to come across as a cryptobro or anything like that with this post (I rarely write about it).
@linux_gizmos very nice! I think I have to get this one!
It's the same type of antenna on both buildings, all though one is a actual building, and the other is just the antenna with a smaller building under the mesh structure.
I often fly flightsims, its my hobby, so I often work with waypoints, so I now just looked up the waypoint to find it's information, to do that I looked up the closes airport, then looked around until I found the waypoint:
https://opennav.com/navaid/KR/SEL/ANYANG

So would they really place a navaid on a building that contains a UFO? I do not think so.
Would a UFO crash that close to Seoul without a since photo or video? I do not think so either.
Came across a twitter post claiming that there is a UFO in a building, meaning the ufo crashed, and then the building was built to cover it.

The tweets are here:
https://twitter.com/realityseaker/status/1677744254918049794
and here:
https://twitter.com/UAPodcast850/status/1678855434705182721

I wish it was true, but I have doubts about it.
It's easy enough to find the building on google maps:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B024'48.5%22N+126%C2%B055'44.4%22E/@37.4134617,126.9264272,572m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d37.4134617!4d126.9290021!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu

And if you zoom out you see that it's not even remote. So a UFO crash here without any pictures \ videos is extremely unlikely.

Also, the antenna on the roof got me thinking, I've seen that before, and that is where I often walk our dog, see here:

https://www.google.com/maps/@58.0845749,7.9084282,63m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu

@phoronix looks really good!
I understand your thoughts on this, but I would not call it a failure - because you learned a lot from it, and lots of things worked as well.
And there are alternatives for those who needs\\wants activitypub, so I think also yarn\\twtxt benefits from you focusing on that instead of dealing with the frustrations of activitypub integration. And maybe it'll feel a bit better to put that on the backburner? :)

@reddit_world_news Finally.
my next goal is to save up to buy this one. its been my dream since we got our dog.
@reddit_world_news Erdogan can fuck off. always messing with everyone, but does not like it if others mess back.
@prologic no worries :) and as you know I appreciate the work you put into it!
I had issues with the current activitypub implementation here on yarn (people could not follow me properly) and I cannot see their posts and stuff like that, so I decided to host activitypub separate from here.
So I will turn it off here - and use this site has as before - but without activitypub turned on, and then do all my activitypub stuff over on that other service.
I can be added through: @stigatle
This does not affect the development of the desktop client, I will still work on that, I'm here to stay :) I just need a way to follow the others properly on the other services..

I did not want to join mastodon, and I did not want something complex to host, so I decided to set up Snac2 - https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2 . It's super lightweight, easy to set up, and worked out of the box for what I was looking for.
@movq wow, very nice!
@reddit_world_news *iphones*
so. if you join threads (meta’s new twitter clone) - then you cannot leave without nuking your instagram..
@reddit_world_news dystopian. get ophones, use lockdown mode.
how are you all doing today?
had a nice walk today.
@lyse not much there anyways, and if it provides jobs and crestes a industry then thats good. also miningrules are strict in Norway, so its better then getting it from some 3rd world country with few regulations etc.
@reddit_world_news nice! if it helps people - then go for it!
@reddit_world_news oh wow!
when the kids are outside he likes to check on them :)

@shamanix - do you see this? (testing from my end)..
@prologic hey! how are you today?
This whole twitter thing got me motivated to code on the yarn desktop client.
Currently working on adding support for links in the post, so that you can open and view the links that are in the statuses.
aha, this explains the current twitter issues.
twitter is so shit right now. down all day for me, the ratelimit bug.
Patrick has his birthday today! 9 years today! so today we are celebrating :) Happy birthday Patrick!
@reddit_world_news that is crazy if they do that.
my stress level has gone down 10x today. been stressed a lot lately, but now Im much better. nothing has been wrong or anything øike that, just been stressed out. and now its only two weeks until I start my 4 week vacation, that will be super nice.
@wincent I had one of those blade servers some years back, I could not have it in my house, crazy noise level on those. I almost build a box for it outside the house, haha.
@wincent No, they are not noisy. I have one of these my self as well, and it does not make much noise (can sleep in the same room). They are not like rack servers with turbo fans, hehe.
got two computers donated from work, xeon server machines. set them up for my kids. they do not know that ill give those to them yet. they have been asking about them, and asked if they can play roblox on them and such. they are going to be so happy tomorrow when they get the machines set up in their room tomorrow :)
@phoronix I like this OS a lot. on my to-do list over os’es to do some development on.
been using the iphone for some days now, and I must say im impressed. I really like it. I will not buy android phone ever again.
heavy rain and lightning today :)
@movq yeah the Russia thing :)
Twitter timelines are not refreshing properly since last night’s events started. they must have some crazy traffic going on.
@prologic ah, but for home use I think it would work well :)
@prologic yeah, and now they say Wagner lied about ammo shortages for 2 months and stockpiled for this. at least now I feel the war will not spill over any more, but actually end soon.
i would get starlink.
seems like putin is having a shitty weekend.
especially the keyboard
got ny iPhone 14 today, pretty pleased! bur it tales sone time to Get used to.
@movq lol yeah, damn humid here.
@lyse @movq hehe, not 12, but *down* 12 from what it was 😀
polar circle, that is a place I have not been yet. but I've always wanted to drive from here and all the length of Norway. I live in the south, a short drive from the southernerst point in Norway.
@prologic ah okay. that sounds like the way to do it.
@prologic it'll be nice to get away from google for a while. also moved all my cloud files to proton drive (got tired of self-hosting). I want a mac too, the m2 laptop. But that will be later. but Im unsure how software development is done on it, if its easy to for example code your own stuff (c++), and also I have no idea how gui realted things are handled. but that makes it fun as well - figuring out all that stuff.
Just ordered a new phone, making the switch from Samsung Android to Iphone.
Been a while since I've been excited about getting a new phone. Looking forward to it!
@lyse We have some rain now, yesterday too, temp dropped 12c or something like that.
Feels a bit refreshing :)
@lyse Thanks! It was really nice! They had a great time! And it was warm, but we filled the pool we have at our terrace, and they got to hang out there.
Her actual birthday is tomorrow, so I'm really looking forward to celebrate it! She will get the gift from us that she really wanted so that'll be nice!
@reddit_world_news that must suck. to be stuck down there. wonder what went wrong.
Today our daughter has invited her friends over to celebrate her birthday in advance, so we're spending time doing that today :) Going to be a nice day!
@movq I work with 3D and code at work every day, so I very rarely make 3D at home, but for the first time in a looooong time I felt like making something. I like the technical parts of it, setting up simulations, tinker with advanced materials and such things.
@lyse Yeah, same here, been no rain here. But honestly - I do not mind warm weather and such, but I also appreciate a bit colder. We'll have some rain next week I think.
@prologic thank you! I got started on some 3D stuff this morning, we then went to the candy store to get some candy, tonight well have that, and nachos + a movie. and the rest of the day we have been outside :)

here is what I got started on this morning :

just testing some ocean stuff.
@lyse that sounds nice! we have the same temp, maybe a bit higher. there is clouds today, but the heat is still there. and half of Norway has thunder and lightning (but not where we are yet).
Hope you all are doing well! we're enjoying the heatwave that has hit us. :)
@osnews that's nice! I have to give this release a try!
wanted to use my oculus to do some flightsimming on Friday, but now Meta forces you over to facebook. super annoying message that constantly pops up in the desktop client, but then after 10 minutes of flying they show the same message in fullscreen inside the VR glasses. so fuck them. I will try and get it to work on linux instead one day soon when I have time.
we went to the beach today, straight from work. was really nice, and water was great too! really nice day! our kids had a really nice time, and dog too :)
@shreyan crazy price.
@abucci yeah, I see your point. but it's sad to say it's better witha blown nuclear reactor the nuke bombs being dropped around. But yeah, hope this shit ends soon. we do not notice it here at all, but the military is ramping up in the north, which is good, and much needed.
I wonder when they will show a UAP\\UFO in physical form to everyone.
So much talk about it - but no physical evidence is shown.
I have no doubt that tech like that exists somewhere in the universe - it's not unlikely at all.
Just think about the tech advancement the last 200 years, and then what if there exists others that are 1 million years beyond our timeline.

@abucci I agree with you on this, and find it crazy that he's not been stopped yet.
@abucci I think the problem is that NATO does not want to get directly involved, because that scales up everything.
So they provide with the things they can to help instead. It worries me a bit (even though I live in the South of Norway - and Russia borders in the north), but it helps a lot that we have Sweden and Finland next to us. But if shit hits the fan - then it won't be easy to get anywhere from here, unless we steal a boat and go to England or something like that (or get on a plane).
I try not to worry, but it's in the back of my mind still.. But we have talked about it in my family, and if things happen then we have a plan on what to do first.
@lyse very nice! we've got super nice weather, warm, no clouds. today we've been outside all day, and fired up the barbecue.
@prologic i have the mangopi riscv, works well, but I will get this new milkv here next. I have not seen that nanopi before, cool! Always fun with new stuff :)
@prologic Oh yes! That one is really nice! I have it on my to-buy list :)
Hehe, as you all might have noticed - I test OS'es often. NixOS was too much of a pain to work efficiently in (the way I wanted), so hopped over to Fedora now. Got all my stuff working there now, as well as the desktop client. I really like how portable the code is, and how easy it is to compile on different os'es. Installed fedora with LXQT, I really like that desktop, I do not like gnome at all - I really dislike the way gnome works. LXQT is just what I need.
We had a really nice day today, dog woke up early (as he always does during the weekend), and I went for a walk in the forest while the rest of the house got to sleep some extra. When I got back we went to a fleamarket, and then we went to a farmersmarket in town, was really nice, and tons of things to see :) And a bit later today we'll have nachos, and I spend some time on my computer. Currently coding a bit.
@movq they have some info about it in their faq. I have to check into that some more.
I have to admit I'm very impressed with wsl2, they have done a damn good job on that. Makes it very easy to develop linux stuff on windows when needed. And removes the need for virtual machine or dualbooting etc. Also they have done a really good job integrating it with vscode.
