Okay there's something really cool I've just learned. If you are continuously recording air pressure e.g. as part of your home automation setup or a weather station then you should really check the data of the last 24h.
You should be able to spot the pressure wave from the volcanic explosion in Tonga earlier today.
It reached my setup in Kaiserslautern at about 20:30.
@prz80 This is a really tough programme. Especially if you have a leg extension 🤣 .
3-layered apple pie
- first attempt
- worked out fine, tastes great, not too sweat with just a bit of cinnamon
- to remember for the next iteration: all the pastry and apple layers should have been a bit thinner - the recipe is obviously for a larger tin, but eyeballing the dough I was a bit afraid it would dry out - unwarranted
@z428 Nice composition 👍

Well, congratulations there, enjoy the Macedonian radio then. I just cannot help myself thinking how funny it is that here a tech guy spends 2 weeks on a feat which used to be considered a trivial past time just 30-70 years ago. Remember these (see the pic)? Or these: https://www.canstockphoto.com/transistor-radio-1950-years-in-burr-16992426.html ?
@pony Easy. Is it your life, or your friend's one?
Also, it's useful to think about your legal contract with the world in this aspect this way: _if you get a gift from a party, by that act of generosity the said party voluntarily gives up any and all rights, titles and interests in the said gift and grants you an irrevocable ownership, as well as irrevocable worldwide license to use, modify, destroy, repair or otherwise change, as well as further re-distribute, or not the said gift item._
In plain language: **it's now yours, do whatever you need to do and don't look back.**
@SirRyan@noagendasocial.com Some call it a _poppy seed flower_. But it's just an aesthetic variation on the relatively standard roll with a poppy seed filling - an "old granny"-style pastry common almost everywhere to the east of Germany. @piggo
@piggo I know it's all fun and all with that antenna. Just for the case you'd be interested in properly getting all that meteo data, this is how to do it: https://www.eumetsat.int/eumetcast
@pony I am not sure if you are joking or not. But if not, here you go: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y%3Dx%5E2
@piggo Man, why are you doing this yourself? Install LXC and live happily ever after.
@piggo And if you really crave that web editor, I guess WebIDE of guthub (not clue whether such a thing exists, but I guess it does), or WebIDE of gitlab (works well!) could serve you just about fine. No need for a specific system, you can hack this together from existing pieces out there.
@piggo Jekyll (but I guess Hugo et al. too) + jekyll-feed plugin (I have it by default) + this: https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-static-blog-with-mastodon/
Depending on what you mean under integration with Fediverse, it can be only to have comments from it on the static site (above) to activepub integration - more difficult, for that you'd need to do some programming, but the easiest I came up with is to use `toot` cli as a part of the CI pipeline when building your site.

@pony I didn't know they have a backup engine. Of course it makes sense, it just never occurred to me. I learned something today... Thanks.
@pony Is the overhead line photoshopped out? Or is it real? And if so, this is probably not a normal operation. Or maybe a downhill shortcut? 😆
Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.
