see current tinylog maintained differently
This is a tinylog. Entries have a date suitable for `date -d`. But idk how about lack of links that might be not yet supported.
Far Manager 3.0.6060.0, upon getting the display resized, crashes its copying, at least if it's from an MTP device using the PortaDev plugin. I also don't know how to abort a copying operation even.... and yet the way Far Manager presents file copying is much better than what happens when i copy from an MTP device with either Explorer or Total Commander (same thing). I am almost thinking about writing my own two-pane manager just for copying from an MTP device, first-class.
oh so while CVS maybe allows getting single files and changes with its built-in remote server protocol, the clients aren't oriented towards that at all, and towards handling cvs:// url schema either usually. and SVN doesn't seem to allow that at all. I'm now thinking about writing a Gemini service that would allow for browsing a change in a bunch of files, given: tree before, tree after, and a diff made the way we want it to look like.
i just learnt that git:// protocol was phased out in GitHub a year ago. because unencrypted. ok but it was simple and aren't SSH and HTTPS a bit bloat? and what about some gits:// maybe at least?
imagine typoing 'overlords' into 'overloads' Like what is this in-head autocorrect
the whole thought about amend posts stemmed multi-step from a moment of wanting to shutter interestslog.gmi, but then deciding the opposite
Cool cool I think fragmlog will close the gap and make me write on both tinylog and gemlog more as well. And can't wait for the Amends posts concept impl!
Having just put up a '/fragmlog/', i think i will also use it for "[amend]" posts that will be to other things. Or maybe I should have *yet* another section for that like i thought to at first?

After I'll get my tooth (upper 7th, quite rear..) pulled, I will have the uncanny experience of having to have my rush stay in the head, in the planning and decisions, not in running around faster, jumping, breathing more, screaming.. If I won't implement that carefully, I'm gonna get a dry socket. Scary. I'm getting the extraction on 22nd if I'll get admitted to the procedure.
Windows having to freeze of course.. I didn't even have Visual Studio open!
Analog watchface to save the day… i might have misread 6am to be 8am on some phone or something, but i soon had my mistake corrected by looking at my smartwristwatch.
I just asked my girlfriend with whom I had been sharing a bathroom for twenty months now if it's okay if I wear Bluetooth headphones while taking a dump. She said that of course I can; mind blown.
excuse me?? how is my galaxy watch vibrating for a full hour ten seconds before i see the change on both it's source smartphone as well as everything else
took a short break and decided to try propagate some more basil. this time i did it myself and i picked some stems with yellowish leaves. i then did skew incisions for the new roots. i hope i did good. but these would die anyway otherwise.
i also tried watering one stem (on the large basil) with a spray that still may have some tinge of the disinfecting gel that i hope flushed out enough not to hurt it. we'll see if it gets hurt.
huh, the ridge on the J key on my Thinkpad X220 seemed shorter than the one on the F key, but it turned out the right slope on the J key is just worn out to be very slight, so the ridge kinda fades
the freshly unpacked caliper stinks tho. and moreover, inside the packaging, randomly sticked on the scale, there was a piece of some fibery dirt that was also kinda oily - and i even stupidly dropped it into a desk drawer?? i should find it before it spoils stuff (update: can't find it fuck me
actually there is no smell in the drawer, i should probably try throwing the packaging away and maybe putting the caliper away)
ended up doing nothing today (after hours). but at least that's just once; an exception.
my nesting gf isn't a person i can confidently tell i got myself 6 or 8 repair-due walkmans to our home
as office hours are past i gotta go to the duck-o-mat for the parcel.. six or eight walkmans that need belts replaced and other maintenance, we'll see in how many months will i get to it....
i was so dumb about it. i forgot igp means bios needs ram for graphics. sent them an apologizing email.
also how tf did i expect it to take ddr3. also ofc i tried booting it with x86_64, that old atom smh.
i did grab a correct one at first try tho, because i moved past all the ddr2 lying around, seeing no ddr3, grabbed some older kind of ideapad s10 to use the one from it. (immediately put it back to place, i should return that one to the friend possibly at last, it has some cursed issues i once gemlogged about already)
this lenovo ideapad s10-2 i got cheapo without battery even has a hdd (was supposed not to iirc), but the display was supposed to be functional and it never lights up (except for when i insert the dc plug, especially if sparkingly, then it does for a split second)
can't believe the touch in this Mimo UM-1080C-G works.
but the hinge cover was a real pain and puzzle to remove, and the cable cover at first got me to think it was a proprietary connector. also plugging the cable in isn't too easy.
so far only Plug&Play'd it on Windows
i wish i knew what to do about the narrow eSATA ExpressCard springing out just a tiny bit from the wide socket in my x220, i've been using it like that since forever
huh, bash 5.1.16(1)-release, at least in Polish translation, has `[-i tekst]` in the command line template in `help read`, but it only corresponds to `-o tekst - uĹĽycie TEKSTU jako poczÄ…tkowego tekstu dla Readline'a` in the options list, there is no mention of `-o` in the former or of `-i` in the latter. I wonder if that got already corrected in subsequent releases.
added to my gecom.sh a gemfeed-tinylog.gmi generator:
date -d "$(grep "^## " tinylog.gmi | cut -c 4- | head -1)" \ +"# Mika Feiler%n=> tinylog.gmi %F Tinylog" > gemfeed-tinylog.gmi
my thinkpad x220 dock, just like my work thinkpad dock, has been disconnecting me usb devices a lot
my sd card reader in the x220 has been having issues with microsd cards in adapter with detecting their writelock latch false-positively - tried switching randomly between three sd-micro adapters and two cards, and it kept saying randomly that device is readonly, a lot
anyway one of those microsd cards at one point apparently got fried, after i prepared it and then raspberry pi 3 wouldn't light up ACT at all with it, no hdmi activity too.
also yesterday i learnt about alpine overlays. cool. actually, my first time trying out alpine (outside of basic docker usage). besides the rpi3 that i set up in sys mode (wiping a never booted nixos card lol, on first boot the partition would have gotten resized by the script; i just lacked a display as well as the spoons to adapt for headless) i want to set myself up an rpi2 in diskless mode that will be an easy plug-and-unplug for pxe booting stuff with installation images.
and i wanted to finally try openwrting myself that ubiquiti ap-ac-lite we have but our poe injector went missing (i purchased another one, will be there tomorrow)
should this have been a gemlog
definitely not me spending three dusk hours before work in bed reading up wipedia on the Reform Act
Moving GPG keys to a new laptop OS setup is such a hassle. I need to get the passwordstore one on it, it's been quite some time already.
tail gemlog/*comeback*
The anxiety whenever I do speaking exercises with Duolingo in any language… I used to have that even with singing — and how the hell will I overcome this for voice training?!
Ok I wrote myself an
alias flo \ 'pass -c flounder.online/m@mikf.pl && '\ 'sftp sftp://mkf@flounder.online:2024/'
In the process I had the Shell-script[csh] mode of Emacs insert intendation before the line on TAB (it did intend-for-tab-command) instead of inserting a tab character (and i actually don't have the end of the alias line escaped but it's alias-TAB-pass-NEWLINE-sftp). So I did M-x eval-expression
(global-set-key (kbd "TAB") #'self-insert-command)
for that Emacs instance.
I really need more of a script to write tinylog. As I described in /gemlog/2022-03-07.gmi , I open the file in emacs, then I add a new h2 and insert date with C-u M-! date, then i type in the entry, and then I first git commit (without magit yet) — and I git push, having to enter ssh key passphrase — and then I run `pass -c flounder.online/m@mikf.pl` to get the password into clipboard for 45 seconds only to then paste it to `!sftp` that I then type `put tinylog.gmi` in.
By now I'm often keeping an sftp session to Flounder just around running in a shell.
Ah damn, the one I just wanted to use didn't survive suspend. I couldn't even quit it!
Huh: despite caps:ctrl_modifier, Lagrange doesn't react to my Ctrl-made Capslock in Ctrl+W or Ctrl+Q, but it does to the regular one.
That would be understandable given how my Seamonkey Composer somehow reacts to Ctrl+W with deleting a word despite it being a "Close" binding in my environment if it was for either, but that's not the case.

Ah damn both neochat and gomuks were in openbsd package repositories. I always search only for names with pkg_info -Q and then ports with make search key=. And there was this unix.stackexchange question i have bookmarked about how to searchin descriptions of packages but im always too lazy to get back to it.
What's fun, neochat didn't want to run before I pkg_add-ed `sonata`. An unspecified dependency?
Wanting to install neochat, depending on knotification, depending on libcanberra, depending on hardbuzz, i had

So instead of choosing a CVSROOT or whatever from anoncvs, I just downloaded snapshots/ports.tar.gz again and moved the old /usr/ports replacing it with newly extracted. And now it's compiling again. #OpenBSD
I created a tinylog, a chaoticlog (just a chaotic page w/o dates), and a Gem-reading page
