@movq @prologic Oh nice! It continued a bit, too. But it didn't remain on the ground. I didn't leave the house, but I reckon I'll enjoy it tomorrow. Currently it's raining, like most of the day.

@prologic I always aggressively jump over this stupid shit and never listen to it. That means I might miss some actual good stuff right after the garbage they advertise. But I'm not willing to seek back.

@movq My brain always reads this as "f" and then I think: what the heck? A split-second later it occurs to me, right, it's an extinct letter. What was it again? Hmm. Ah, an ancient "s"! Every single time. In all those years, I haven't gotten used to it. :-)

@johanbove The former is Swiss German as they do not have the "ß" and always use "ss" instead. Everywhere else the sharp s is used in that case. I always wonder how the Swiss then distinguish between "In Maßen" and "In Massen". :-)

On the descent we got caught in a sudden thunderstorm and blundered into soft hail. Basically got sandblasted. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2023-11-24/

@movq You're good, it's POSIX-compliant. ;-) I also was taught `$*` first instead of `"$@"`. Looks like a common thing. :-) Shell has just soooooo many quirks and inconsistencies, it is quite hard to master it. But we'll never get rid of it.

@thecanine Oh, I actually thought that the pin might be some kind of a reference. But I didn't figure out it was Czech. I guess the dog was doing dog stuff and hence especially the white got a bit dirty. :-) Yeah, they sometimes have some strange choices for their cosplay.

You'll never guess what I learned from https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2023-11-19/0/POSTING-en.html. I've never seen `for i do` in shell scripts. Turns out, that walks over all positional arguments. So I reckon my `for i in "$@"; do` can now be shorter from now on. Very interesting in that detailled explanation to see all the – at least to me – inconsistent handling of semicolons and line breaks.

@darch For a web UI such a button sounds quite convenient. The only downside is that spammers also like that link. :-( So if built into e.g. yarnd, it should be probably opt-in and it might only really work well with single-user instances. At least it's not obvious to me which address that e-mail reply button would use when multiple people are involved in a conversation. The original author's? The last commentator's? Reply to all of them? Note that I didn't give this any real thought. This is only what popped up right in my head. :-)

I just measured on a map that I hiked 22.5 km in 5:30 hours today. And I took 723 photos (yes, I'm totally insane; for your viewing pleasure I reduced them to only 96), which resulted in a lot of stops and a bunch of wasted time. I reckon I haven't done this trip often enough, because I took the wrong turn-off – twice, on the way there and back – which cost me several extra kilometers. Well, I was just enjoying myself in nature, so that wasn't bad at all. It just meant that I wouldn't be home before dark. And that's totally fine with me. Maybe next time I care to remember to walk the more direct route. We'll see.
The golden autumn is so fricking beautiful. It only rained in the morning, so I left right after lunch. We then had a good mix of clouds and sunshine. At the beginning, the sun was out for at most 10 seconds in a row before the next cloud covered it up again. My camera takes longer than that to boot, so I missed a ton of opportunities. But judging by the number of photos, it didn't hurt at all.
9 and 10 is a common kestral. I could figure that out based on another photo which had good colors but was very blurry. Unfortuntately, the deer in 30-32 were too far away. A few hundred meters I'd say. I had to think of Rapunzel in 84-86. :-)
After dawn and one and a half completely drained batteries I walked past a bunch of trees and wondered what kind of birds were sitting on them. They didn't look like ravens or something similar. Suddenly, 20-30 red kites flew up (their V-shaped tails made it crystal clear). I have never seen so many of them in a flock. Not even close. That was super cool to watch. Much later after dark I also saw a bat flying over my head. Nice way to end this trip.

@eapl.me The only reliable way to let the other party know is to write an e-mail or any other out of bounds communication mechansim. There's just the User-Agent header in the discoverability extension of Twtxt itself that comes close: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/discoverability.html But it requires feed operators to actually play along and check. Active pushes are prone to spam, so I actually view the lack thereof as a good thing.

Yeah, super calming. When I went to bed yesterday night, it also rained quite a bit and the drizzling was very pleasant. I quickly fell asleep.
