The last week I've been playing around with https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI , dang good tool for testing ai models and such. I really like the node based workflow. And makes it super easy to test any AI model. Only thing I miss now - is one of those image to video setup's, that's what I'm working on fixing now. So that I can generate images, and then automatically make them into short videos as well. Fun to play around with.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

Finally weekend. Time to relax a bit. And today I finally have some time for my computer in my free time. Wish you all a great weekend! Take care of your self and those around you :)

Had a amazing bike ride with the dog today, the weather is a bit cold today (15c). Been wanting to find a gravel road that I can use, without meeting too many others. And today I found that. Got his pulling harness on, got my bike out of the basement, and headed out.

I've decided to try and get rid of as much stress as possible. Stupid things stress me out, some things are more important to fix then others. But today I got started, by fixing the xeon bulb on our car, been ignoring it for a year, because the car garage said it'll cost me 350$ so get it changed (Because they had to remove the whole front).. So because of that I did not prioritize it. But today I went and bought a bulb for 50$ and I openened the hood of the car and saw I could just replace it my self by simply removing a cover to get access to the bulb. So I've been stressing over nothing for a year simply because I did not check and took their word for it. next thing to get fixed is a rotten board under a window outside, been bugging me for a long time, now I want to get that sorted next. All these small things adds up, and I want peace of mind.

Finally fixed so that usernames mentioned in a post shows up as @user , and not with brackets and twtxt file url, looks so much better now! One thing I want to focus on next - is handling replies to a status, that will make it much easier to follow a conversation.

4 week vacation time is done tomorrow, then it's back to work. A bit excited to see what happens there for the rest of the year, a bit stressfull too, but It'll be nice to get back to work. This summer vacation has been super nice, and also felt like it lasted long. Been a super time with my family, we got to visit a lot of cool places, and went on a lot of trips etc. Been really nice. And we've already planned what to do next year - so I already look forward to that :)

Also tweaked the settings of my Bitaxe bitcoin miner, it was running a bit unstable, tweaked some settings and now it finally runs like it should.

Fixed a thing in the flutter client tonight, it now stores the username \ password and server url.. Which is a nice feature, no need to copy\paste anymore to log in.

Today we went to my mom's camper, we spent the day there, Marlyn and kids took the car, I took the motorcycle. We spent the day there outside, playing minigolf, eating pizza, walk the dog, and my stepdad went fishing with the kids as well. All in all it was a great day :)

So, the client now has a lot of features. I will work on fixing the @ mentions tomorow, making it like this: @username in bold. Will also see if I can fix so that users already mention in a post you click 'reply' on is also put into the status text field. When these things are sorted the flutter version has the same features as the GTK4 client. I'm quite pleased with the result of the conversion to flutter so far. Finally got motivated to work with it, which feels good.

Today I got to have a nice motorcycle trip with my daughter, we drove the road at the coast here, to the beach, sat there and had some soda and drove back again :) Was really nice. Weather has been great today, really warm and the sun is out.

Media upload works, light\dark theme enabled. Tested it on debian\windows - works out of the box, statusbar moved to bottom for cleaner UI. Next is working more on ui when it refreshes the timelines. .

It’s my birthday today :) i was born 41 years go, 3.5 months too early. I was so small my parents had to buy doll clothes at the toy store. Gonna be a nice day today, celebrate with my family :) we always treasure birthdays.🎂

Today I'm looking into flutter again, I've been wanting to test that out for a while. I started adding functionality from the 'yarn desktop client' ( https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient ) I've been working on - and now I see if I can get the same functionality up and running with flutter. Currently I'm able to log in and fetch the logged in user's username at least (the text :username: is fetched after logging in), so it's a good start. That means I have the things I need to fetch the timeline and present that next.

Yesterday we had some time to ourselves, kids was sleeping at grandmas place. So me and Marlyn went for a 250 km ride on twisty forest roads :) now we are home again, nachos and movie 🍿. Love you Marlyn!

Bought a motorcycle this summer, I did not want two cars, and Marlyn would like to have the car more when I'm at work. So I bought a new cheap motorcycle, KTM Adventure 390. It's been 10 years since I last had a motorcycle (back then I had a KTM 990cc). Here I am with my daughter on the new bike :) My kids love to go for rides, so does Marlyn as well, so it's a lot of fun for all of us.

We also went to Lunde locks, lot’s of history here. There are 6 of these locks, this is the biggest one.

We also rented a cabin for 5 days, and did a lot of things..

We visited Heddal stave church from 13th century, was really nice. Never been inside it until yesterday. Such a great building. Amazing to sit there and think about all the people who had been there since it was built.

We went to a new dog park today (1.5hr drive), booked the biggest of 3 parks for 2 hours, we had a really nice time there :) us and kids + dog had a blast :)

Quite proud of what we built :) I really like the result.

Got my #bitaxe #bitcoin asic #miner today, very cool miner. Super easy to set up.

8km walk - and now he’s satisfied. Time to relax, and start a nice weekend after a hectic week, hope you all get to have a great one!

Getting stuff done today.. Bought more fencing, so that the dog can stay outside on the terrace without jumping over to our neighbor, so I'll get that up soon. He has usually been in the garden, but that has been dug into a mudhole by the dog, so when it's rainy\wet etc he can now stay on the terrace. Other then that I'll probably do some coding on my multiplayer game today, since our kids are busy with friends etc.

Hey! How are you all doing? Been very busy days the last weeks, but now it's weekend, and the things we needed to do today are done, so now I can sit down for the rest of the day and just chill.

Getting warmer tomorrow and the next week or so, hope most of the snow melts so that I can head out and walk in the forest again - I miss that.

wow, we got about 30\40cm of snow last night, and when I woke up we could not even look out the window because of the snow storm, thought the kids would not get to school, but right before they left for the bus it cleared up. Got rid of the snow outside after work today, so now it's clear skies and nice out :)

Bought some more fencing for the garden, need to make it a bit higher some places, so that our husky can spend more time there, a couple of places has been a bit flimsy, time to fix it :) If he really wanted - he could easily get over, but he just likes to stay in the garden, and does never mess with the fence (wire mesh fence, wooden poles in the ground). Also have a long chain as well (that's as long as the garden) but he does not want to have that one one (and it's under 1.5m of snow now). If he ever jumps over or digs himself out I'll get one of long wires that goes overhead that I can attach one of those pulleys \ leash too, that'll be better then a long chain.

When it comes to AI stuff - I like to run it myself, not use a service. I found this today - https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile I'll give that a good try when I need it, instead of chatgpt and such services.

Moved more snow today than ever before. Terrace is now ready for use. -10c out, tomorrow we’ll sit there with the portable fire pit, make some food on it :) this week has been crazy, but now it’s weekend and time to relax a bit.

Helped pur neighbour today, climbed over to them from second floor, and dug down to the veranda door from roof height, so now they can look out their windows again :) over the weekend I have to get rid of all the snow on our terrace, almost 2 meters there now. But it has stopped snowing now, so its nice to get a break after this.

One car was parked half way into garage yesterday, and owner went away, and now snow cannot be cleared because they cannot get past the car (dead end street). So the owner fucked up for everyone here. No one can get anywhere. Pisses me off.

Oh wow, we got almost a meter of snow over night, took over 2 hours to get the car space cleared. Now I have to take the snow off the veranda, and clear some in the garden (Nanook is acting up today, he loves the snow, so will clear some out around the fence, so that he can be out all day if he wants).. I do not want to do a long walk in this weather..)

Happy new year to all of you, will be exciting to see what this year will bring!

Wow, we can get up to a meter of snow in a very short time here, proper snowstorm! Exciting! Also next week the temp drops, cold from siberia comes here, so it'll probably stick around for a while. :)

I like coding on stuff, but I rarely spend time in unreal engine, or godot, but I still want to code on some game stuff once in a while. I think I've found what I've been looking for to test out - #raylib https://www.raylib.com/ , I want to recreate one of my older (outdated) projects that I did a while back in godot, but make the same with raylib. Also it would be cool to use the USD ( https://openusd.org/release/index.html ) library that me and a friend is coding - to then implement it and load USD scenes in raylib, that would be very nice, that way I get to work on both the USD library, and code some game stuff at the same time, always nice to combine things.

We went to the cinema tonight, was really nice to be there and see a movie with the kids :) We saw a classic Norwegian Christmas movie - a new movie in the 'Jul i skomakergata' series.

Last day at the office for the rest of the year! Looking forward to have some proper time off to spend with my family :)

Had a really nice time with my daughter at her volleyball practice today, all parents got to play against the kids, it was super fun! Been a long time since I've had this much fun, was so nice to be there with her tonight!

Started on a activitypub client, gtk4, c, made on OpenBSD, been quite nice learning experience so far, a bit adjustment from the usual way I do things. I have not done a project in pure c before. Got token stuff sorted, and posting, next is getting the timeline (and gui for that etc).

Hope you all are doing well :)

Dragged Marlyn and our kids out tonight to see the northern lights. Never seen it with my own eyes until tonight.

It's weekend again, time to chill. Weekends means family time, long hikes and late nights with the TV. I'm done with the long walk for today, and kids are busy with friends, so now I sit on my laptop for a bit.

Today it's cold, a bit of snow in the air. I'll head out for a long walk in a bit, I'll go a new place, a 9km trail. I'll try to remember to take some pictures. Wish you all a great Saturday!
