@movq LOL. Once you truly know Germans (if such thing is possible, hahahaha!), you realise the stereotype is totally uncalled for.
Germans don’t have humour? Oh, yes we do! Get this:
I was pushing my bike slowly up a hill, coming across an elderly lady.
She goes: “Go slowly!!! 😡”
“???”
“Haha! Just kidding! 😊“
@kat where are thou?! Haven’t seeing you like, in light years!
@lyse yes, yarnd has a few parser (?) issues that were never resolved. If only a powerful token predictor could fix it, once and for all… 😅
@movq here here 🙌
The mindset of nerds (or people in general, but nerds especially) appears to be: “There’s a problem – I know how to build a solution around that! (Because I’m good at building things!)”
Rarely does anyone ask: “Why does this problem exist? Can we find a way so that this doesn’t happen in the first place?”
@yarn_police Looks like the rendering in yarnd is off. The second subject (prisoner error!) was robbed, its link text got stolen.
(#gjkrsca) Thank you, sir! It was a pleasure for us, too.
@movq Thanks, mate! Yeah, that never gets old, there’s something magically about it. :-)
@lyse Those are some great shots! “Sun through leaves” always works. 😃 And the tweeting bird, lovely. 😃
@bender How poetic, very well said. :-) It calls for the small man’s adventures.
@lyse 33! Wow! Very good stash on clicks, Lyse! And that Ford van reminds me of the police account used to keep order around here. LOL. It’s a gem!
@lyse it makes it more real, and truthful. We don’t want no pedicured road, with fairies flying around. It is the real deal! :-)
@kiwu All the best of luck, mate! :-)
And a trip to my backyard mountain again. It was very windy, so the 16°C felt even cooler than that. But it will be back in the twenties tomorrow when I visit a mate for a hike, oof.
@bender The horse shit looks really nice in that evening light, right? ;-)
@kiwu woot, woot!
testing weeks soon ^^ I’m so close to graduating
@lyse that road…. 😍
@klaxzy twtstrm/0.4.0 is from Eric. The getwtxt-ng/dev seems to be this.
@klaxzy yarnd/*
what is the user-agent name of the crawler that pulls the tweets here on twtxt.net? i am seeing getwtxt-ng/dev and twtstrm/0.4.0 in the logs
It’s just so beautiful out here. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-04-29/
@prologic @movq @bender Thank you very much! <3
I only filtered out the noise floor of the camera itself. I selected one second of “silence” in Audacity and used the “Effect” → “Noise reduction” (Rausch-Verminderung in German) dialog with its default settings. I repeated that two or three times in total with different sections of “silence”. It’s very hard to find something where there is really no other bird singing in the background. But in contrast to the original audio, the edited version is noticeably more squeaky I find.
Oh, and I increased the volume. Especially after the noise reduction, everything is a bit quieter.
I got rather lucky, only a few cars went by and my microphone is too shitty, to really pick it up. :-D It’s kinda drowned out by the background noise. 45 seconds into the video, a car passes. Also at 1:10 without a doubt. I’m sure there were actually many were. Most of them passed behind me, the mic is facing away from that sound source. Of course, the densely built-up area still reflects a lot.
It also helped that Azabache is a loud singer himself. Fortunately, no idiots screaming either.
If you want to compare yourself or play around to see what other improvements you are able to achieve, I uploaded the original from the camera in the same directory under the lovely name DSCN5687.MOV. It’s 236.1 MiB in size.
@bender There ya go! 8-) https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-04-27/wiiiiiiiiiide.jpg
@lyse love the video! And the colours of the sky! And yes, that’s Azabache alright. His singing just get better!
@lyse Omg, that’s quiet. Did you do some filtering on this? No traffic noise? No drunk men shouting? 😳
@lyse Very cool! 😎 Love that little birdy in the video too 👌
Fuck me dead, our sky burned down once again! https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-04-28/
You can hear Azabache somewhere in these trees, but the video only shows a raven. I think. There are also pidgeons over there, but it looks more raveny to me.
@lyse wider, wiiiiider, wideeeeeeeerrrrr! :-D :-P
@bender Glad you like it. At least it’s in landscape format. :-D
@lyse 4 is a keeper! Wish it was landscape, perfect for a wall then. :-P
Really nothing spectacular at all today, but yet we still got some red for less than five minutes: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-04-27/ Azabache was hiding somewhere in the trees, I could hear him very well, but not lay my eye on him. The leaves are already covering him up perfectly now.
@bender Hahaha! I was also very surprised to see snow. I didn’t remember that at all. It was gone by the evening again, see archive feed twtxt-2024-11.txt#2024-11-23T18:30:00+01:00. Unfortunately, neither Prologic’s nor Xuu’s yarnd searches yield anything. That message has probably long fallen out of the index.
@bender It was really beautiful! Oh yes, always enjoy it while it lasts. :-)
@lyse I see him on those photos, and his singing starts ringing in my ears. I also thought, “I am going to miss him” because, you know, nothing is everlasting. But then I reproached myself; “enjoy the moment, dude, don’t taint it”. And so I shall.
@lyse thank you! I got visual now! 🙈 Now, you had to pull out a pic from winter, to make those of us constantly burning in “hell” jealous, eh? 😂
Azabache was back today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/amsel-2026-04-26/
@bender Oh, this trekking bike is nothing special at all. It’s a Bulls Wildtail with only front suspension, 21 gears and standard V-brakes. The first immediate upgrade I did was mounting a pannier rack, it’s one of the most useful things.
I just quickly dug out this photo from one and a half years ago where it’s parked at our scout yard in November 2024. You just have to use your imagination on how the front looks like. :-D
@bender Well I’m open to ideas of course 😅 My goal here was to build something like a Civ-1 inspired game that’s playable online and multiplayer. Do you remember this old bad boy that was played on PC(s) on MS-DOS ?! 😅
@prologic I am going to give it a more serious spin (meaning I am going to go read the help page). I’ve got to tell you though, most successful games do not need a help. But I am fully aware that there is a subset of gamers that would not mind—if not appreciate—a game with help, manual, and the likes.
@bender Anything I can do to help with getting started with the game? Help page not enougH/ Some “Getting Started” guide? Walk-through? 🤔
@bender Yeah !
Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?
I’ll do this for sure!
@prologic I am fairly bad, or have a very poor understanding of the game, so I can’t figure out what to do. Tried a few times. 😅 Also, I am sure you know by now, but it is not mobile friendly at all. Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?
Congratulations!
495 turns and about ~4hrs alter I won! 🙌 Small map, 2-players, myself and an AI player. 😅
– It took forever to beach the island the AI player was on and get enough Galley’s and Swordsmen just to push back and eventually slowly destroy all enemy units and capture all cities! 🤣@marcorocco found any treasure? Don’t worry, you can tell me, I am a crypt. :’-D
@kiwu no much, just pondering what comes next.
@lyse it is beautiful!
