@movq Hahaha, great idea! :-D I never saw the Epson Image Scan logo before.

And the e-mail body says that @movq is leaving, too.

@prologic Yeah, ta! :-)

@movq @bender Fuck them!

@movq Yeah, that Model M has quite some oomph. ;-)

@movq Haha, that's so cool! :-) Could you remove the cover to at least reduce the amount of scrolling around? But I bet any amount of scrolling is annoying.

This printer has quite some noise level to it. Or how bad is it really in person?

@movq Nice picture, this hot air balloon has quite a large basket.

Yes, go for it! :-)

My grandpa went ballooning ages ago and liked it. The balloonist misjudged the height a bit and landed in an open-air pool. Well, not in the water, but on the sunbathing lawn just inside the fence. :-D After the ride, everybody was given a very long personal name that they had to memorize. Decades later, my grandpa still knew his assigned name.

The most important thing to know is that – in German – you don't fly (fliegen) a ballon, but ride (fahren) it: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballonfahren#Fahren_oder_fliegen Judging by the English wikipedia article, this is not an English thing, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_ballooning

@movq Wow, cool! :-)

@movq I'm in Standard Camp. ;-)

@movq There haven't been decent ones for a while.

Surprisingly, the sky got quite some lovely colors this evening. I approve! https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-08-21/

@movq Heck yeah, have fun! :-) We never had a matrix printer, started off with a cathode ray tube and an inkjet pisser.

I'm happy to see you compose your first twtxt message using ed on your new output device. We definitely need video proof of that! ;-)

@movq Haha, yeah. I never bothered with them.

@movq Fucking hell!

@movq Ucycling just rocks to hard!

@bender Hahaha, I bet you could use it for a myriad of things! :-D

@movq Very nice! I fully agree, I really like listening to him, too.

@bender There are all sorts of pallets. I made my wooden mallet from a heavy duty beech pallet a few years ago:

Oh yes, this guy is so cool. I think the next machines I need are a thickness planer and a big dust collector with at least hose 100mm diameter! :-)

@movq Hahaha, congrats! :-D

@movq Oh yeah, once in the quarter to the office is absolutely amazing and luxurious. Thank you teammates and employer! Though, I would already have been on site when these things happened earlier.

Today is my last day of holiday. Back to work again tomorrow. Not looking forward, vacation is just great. So easy to get used to.

I just saw that these motherfuckers also query my twtxt feed. I have to enable access logs for everything again and see who else wants some napalm response. :-(

Exactly, @eric! Welcome to the party. :-)

@movq Hahahaha, great! :-D

@movq Hell yeah, this is cool, thank you! <3

@bender Yeah, the subject and multiline extensions are great and absolutely needed. If incorporated right from the beginning, though, they could have been designed even better. :-)

@kat @movq Sorry, I neither finished it nor in time. :-( That's as good as it's gonna get for the moment: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/gelbariab/-/tree/master/rss-proxys?ref_type=heads

The README should hopefully provide a crude introduction. The example configuration file is documented fairly well, I believe (but maybe not). You probably still have to consult and maybe also modify the source code to fit your needs.

Let me know if you run into issues, have questions, wishes etc.

Hahaha, I first thought of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA52uNzx7Y4 when I read @kat's "lyrics". ;-)

Doesn't sound bad, I like it. The synth reminded me of some song by Beast in Black.

@movq @kat I also wondered for a very long time why nobody improved the man experience in the terminal. I'd love to see links and more colors.

Welcome to the club, @kiwu!

@kat Ta, very catchy indeed! :-) Their polyphony is great.

@kingdomcome Yeah, it's all about simplicity. That's what got me hooked. In its original form without the extensions, you can even read the raw feed and it doesn't feel all that bad.

@kat Thank you! I have to check out more of their stuff.

@movq Holy cow! O_o

Reducing the overall screen time is desireable, that's right. I should do the same.

@movq How many? All of them!

My goodness, what assholes. Reacting based on the User-Agent might just work. For now.

We just met again after sleep to clean up all the rest. I now got food for literally two weeks. At least. No kidding! I feel really bad for taking waaaaay more home than bringing along. :-/ Turned out that a bunch of people were absent without an excuse. :-( That rude behavior is beyond my comprehension.

@movq Smart decision. :-)

@prologic Too bad, no FLOSS software. :-/ But thanks! :-)

@movq What the heck, that's terrible! :-( This planned obsolence right after warranty really sucks balls.

@movq It's about time to get a new monitor. How old is it, btw.?

@prologic Cool! What program do you use to draw this up?

@thecanine Nice! :-)

When tidying up my good mate's birthday party site last night we emptied the beer pong cups which had been filled with just ordinary tap water. There was also a cute dog whose owner gave it its drinking bowl, but it was not interested. Just for fun I offered it one of those water cups and it began to drink. We all had to laugh so hard because it was completely unexpected and looked so funny. Can't describe this comicalness of the situation. :-D

@kat Uuhh, I love this! Who's that, what's that song?

@kat From what I grasped so far, you're certainly heading for this for sure. :-)

@movq Yikes! Debug settings enabled right from "the factory"?

@bender Hahaha, nice! :-D

@movq That's how it's supposed to be. :-)

@movq Ah, okay! That's why it's in such an advanced state. :-)

Nice, I never came in contact with OS/2.

@xuu I see you're already a big fan of that language!

@kat I know, right!?

Obligatory meme: https://www.digitalprintcustom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jesus-Fucking-Christ.jpg :-D

Hm, maybe pumpkin: https://64.media.tumblr.com/e1aedc97e3c4929de60304a2c7b274f2/tumblr_mzt4m2SeWk1t2as4so9_r1_1280.pnj Looks a hell lot uglier than I remembered. :-D So, perhaps it was a different one. :-?

Your brown and gray is a lovely combination.

@movq According to this screenshot, KDE still shows good old application icons: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/KDE_Plasma_5.21_Breeze_Twilight_screenshot.png

And GNOME used to have them, too: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Gnome-2-22_%284%29.png

I like the looks of your window manager. That's using Wayland, right? The only thing on this screenshot to critique is all that wasted space of the windows not making use of the full screen!!!1 At least the file browser. 8-)

This drives me nuts when my workmates share their screens. I really don't get it how people can work like that. You can't even read the whole line in the IDE or log viewer with all the expanded side bars. And then there's 200 pixels on the left and another 300 pixels on the right where the desktop wallpaper shows. Gnaa! There's the other extreme end when somebody shares their ultra wide screen and I just have a "regularish" 16:10 monitor and don't see shit, because it's resized way too tiny to fit my width. Good times. :-D

Sorry for going off on a tangent here. :-) Back to your WM: It has the right mix of being subtle and still similar to motif. Probably close to the older Windowses. My memory doesn't serve me well, but I think they actually got it fairly good in my opinion. Your purple active window title looks killer. It just fits so well. This brown one (https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-07-22/0/leafpads.png) gives me also classic vibes. Awww. We ran some similar brownish color scheme (don't recall its name) on Win95 or Win98 for some time on the family computer. I remember other people visting us not liking these colors. :-D
