I remember this as a very cold bike ride. January 2024. But it was so very impressive even in the moment, it almost made me forget my frozen fingers on the downhill.

It *might* get a bit multilingual here.

I'm reading (bookwyrm):
The windmill stopped waving its arms around a long time ago.

@mwl So I've now read the book. Actually I've worked through all the examples except the most complicated regexes (which was my threshold for "too lazy to type in"). Even in the simple examples that I already knew how they worked, I had fun.
I knew how ed(1) works, but I have now a much more systematic knowledge. Worth the few bucks, definitely worth the time.
And also ... I got this feeling for how people used to work with ed, how working with it actually works. I know I could do this.
Annoying squaking when opening or closing the frame on your #cycling glasses?
Do you have a TWSBI #fountainpen? It comes with a lil' bottle of silicon grease, a tiny drop of which put on the hinge will shush that squeak nicely.
Sometimes combinations of hobbies work out well. (Should work for other plastic sunglasses too). #lifehack

@jdm_ @servo Been there, fixed that kind of tests ... multiple times. Also the ones that break only when the end of the month falls on a Friday. Or when the tests are run within 30min before midnight on a Tuesday. Or when the current week spans two months and the tests that checks "something this week" and "something next week" find a different month. Etc. etc.
Back in 2017 I had started to make a site / blog about #cycling on #Naxos. I wrote some great articles, but soon lost motivation and stopped.
Today I cycled with someone who had found that site (and found it useful) before meeting me (first online, then IRL).
It kinda makes me consider re-starting that little side-project. No idea if I could actually hold the motivation longer on a second try.

@RosannaSibora@fosstodon.org @openproject@fosstodon.org Danke für den Hinweis! Ich hab meine Bewerbung grad eingeschickt 🙂
Würde mich natürlich freuen, wenn es passt!

Meanwhile I'm safely (and tiredly) back home. 92.58km, with 1633m of altitude gain (an island is basically a bunch of mountains sticking out of the sea), in 4h 36min of cycling, 5h 17min total time.
I was riding solo, which is not as nice as having company, but it leaves a lot of room for spinning thoughts.
Turns out, my phone having digital spirit levels is great: This works when holding the phone horizontal, photographing down on a drawing on the table below.
(I'm doing a slightly bigger, more ambitious drawing and watercolour painting. So I want to document the stages for myself.)

@duke_of_germany@mastodon.gamedev.place I suspect it's because it's not a professional printer, that's why it works with "Mein Zuhause" in that field.

@drahardja@sfba.social A while ago there was an article in the german newspaper TAZ that the right-wing is reopening local pubs in eastern germany.

@mathew @bms48 @jonny @david_chisnall @chris_evelyn OK, I get your point.
I have used gpg for mail in the past in two time periods in very closed groups of correspondents, and things worked that way ... but now things like Signal have stopped making that necessary since a long time.

@mrundkvist I guess they are "useful" photos for you, but especially the first two of them, they also look very nice.

@mrundkvist I enjoyed myself too ... beautiful pictures, and then thinking that these things were made and used sooooo long ago, by people living back then.

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social For me the best part of the article was the statement from OpenAI which sounds like it came straight out of their own slop-machine.

But personally, you know, at that distance I'd take the bike... ;-)

@CrimethInc@todon.eu B.Traven in the book "The Death Ship" describes how before 1914 to prove "who you are", all you needed was an envelope with a postal stamp and your name/address on it.

@bms48 @mathew @jonny @david_chisnall @chris_evelyn Where would I find information on this? Where can I read more about it? (Mainly the gpg-agent thing, I'm not interested in anything Windows).
For something like this to be more common knowledge, I guess it needs more than a short news-cycle through some tech sites ... to reach people like me who are not specifically looking at security things all the time.

@thedarktangent@defcon.social 10 years ago "my" bank's internet banking was set up so that for a password reset you needed an ID document and had to go to the bank branch in person. I liked that.
Then ofcoz they decided that this is inconvenient. Now resetting the password is all of a few clicks and a mail away. Because what could possibly go wrong.

@mattblaze@federate.social I learned on Sinar Ps, back in the days. It was almost all in the studio though, rarely was one loaded into loundry baskets and then in the van for "outside" work. It's a forgotten world.
(I think I could still load 4x5" film without a hitch now, I only need to close my eyes and move my hands to get the movements going.)
Congrats on the photo and keeping that beast going!

@giesbert@muenchen.social @scheichsbeutel@troet.cafe @sandhoferlitter@troet.cafe Es gibt sicher auch die, die nicht in der finanziellen Lage sind, solche Investitionen zu machen, die quasi am Rande der Rentabilität entlang schleifen. Die aktuelle Sprit-Preisentwicklung macht das dann noch schwieriger, aber wenn der Stutz für die rentabilitätssteigernde Umstellung fehlt, hilft das auch nicht.
