Montagmittag, Kapuzenmittag, falscher Tee in der Tasse und es braucht einige Augenblicke, den Duft wieder aus der Küche zu vertreiben. Unvorsichtige Griffe in falsche Postfächer, viel zu viel Verlauf und zu wenig Filter und in den Höfen herrscht die Stille eines eiskalten Tages, an dem man sich ganz nach drinnen zurückzieht und wortlos mit den Blicken durch weiße Himmel fährt.

one thing that i really dislike about Unix is the zealous adherence to semi-accidental design elements that ends up interfering with the utility of the underlying useful principle
for example:
- early Unix could not run too complex a program due to hardware restrictions, so programs were composed using text streams
- useful underlying principle: designing your applications for composition
- zealous interpretation: your OS should have a toolkit of single-purpose programs communicating over text streams
- design we could have had, but never will: applications that communicate using structured data, simplifying life for both programmers and end users
there is also much to be said about splitting your application into many different pieces, but keeping a unified approach to application design so that the pieces may be understood via a unified mental model
i think some Unices (that i haven't really used enough to comment) do approach userspace design like this, but the GNU-plus-random-tools userspace you're much more likely to encounter definitely doesn't
The one commercial unix that had a unified design thought in tooling that I've experienced was AIX. The normal naming for tools was things like:
lsuser, mkuser, chuser, rmuser
lsfs, mkfs, chfs, rmfs
lsvg, mkvg, chvg, rmvg
But GNU, Solaris, and IRIX which were my other exposures had very little of this.
Addendum, I had forgotten that most of these (but not all) also had a -c or -C (not consistent, grr) for colon separated output instead of pretty printed tables.

why the actual fuck does Linux not have a syscall for /proc/self/maps
it is beyond ridiculous that the 2026 solution to "find out what my memory mappings are" is fucking fscanf
I wonder what is the use case?
I can imagine only security-related stuff like anti-cheats.

@iurii debuggers, JITs, crash reporters, allocators, and similar low-level users could all benefit from VirtualQuery-like API
Interesting. While working with JITs and allocators, I never looked beyond virtual memory, hence the question.
I'm not saying have the mapping is not useful, just pointing out that mileage may vary, so that may be the reason nobody has done it.
@iurii what do you mean "beyond virtual memory"?
I never cared about virtual vs physical memory relation.
Basically my process' address space is what it is.
Basically my process' address space is what it is.
@iurii that is not what /proc/self/maps gives you
I see now. But again, never had to encounter those.
It’s fascinating to watch Linux evolve.
On one hand, one may expect /proc/self just for coherency. On the other, in corporate development, I’m a proponent of not writing code until it’s actually required. If someone implements a linked list with `insert_before`, I’ll ask them to delete `insert_after` if it’s unused.
Linux seems to handle this naturally, by the absence of certain patches.
@iurii you still fail to understand the core of my complaint. it is not about the specifics of /proc/self/maps. it is rather about how little care and thought was put into the design of the system as a whole.
moreover, the Linux development process actively filters out people with better taste who could improve the design, both by exhaustion of having to deal with assholes (gregkh isn't much better than linus) and by virtue of "if everything around you is a pile of crap, there is little point in building something great"
See also the ` (deleted)` suffix in iirc maps and in symlink targets in /proc/PID/fd/ (what if I actually have a file that a name that ends like that?)
Relatedly, a thing that surprised me a lot once is that symlinks in /proc are fake: if you open through them you can get totally different things than if you resolve the path they expand to (e.g. `root` or `exe` if that process is in a different mount namespace might be accessible, but its target path might be nonsensical).
to me, it is a mystery why BSD is decaying, and Linux is thriving.
Judging by the readability of code only, it should be vise versa. Knowing a bit about maintaining OSS project makes me think sometimes that being an asshole is a hard requirement, I don't know.
I understand the complaint, I was just cautious to frame it that way.
if you view Linux not as a coherent system but as a set of related patches, it makes more sense, but yeah... When I was trying to understand how TCP/IP stack is implemented in Linux, I was reading BSD code, because "look we apply this flag just to make socket handler look like a file's one because unrelated code crashes"
I'm still fascinated by the lengths that Linux has made always being like this.
my bad. Off to read.
@iurii in any case, I've encountered the "parse /proc/$PID/maps" code too many times in the wild to count. there is clearly a very significant need to do the operation. just that Linux doesn't care to give it to you
dont get me started on the different decisions, by those codebases, on what the actual file path of the mapped objfile should be
is it resolved? symlink only or also hardlink? is it relative? a special prefix to annotate remote targets? your guess is as good as mine!
"well first you're gonna need to allocate a bunch of strings...." might as well be the intro to half of Linux systems programming
This one of the things that keeps me on FreeBSD. Linux decided to put most of the things that the BSDs put in sysctls in filesystems and make them human readable. The equivalents on the BSDs are usually structured data from a sysctl.
About 20 years ago, I wrote some code for showing machine info in a desktop environment’s about box. On FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris, the information was exposed as sysctls. They had different names, but it was trivial to write a little wrapper where each platform told you the sysctls to use.
On Linux, the info was in /proc/cpuinfo. The structure of this changed between releases and also between architectures on the same kernel version. The code for Linux was more than all of the other three platforms, combined, and that code was just to interface with a 300 KiB library that included a parser that worked on all of the different versions.
It makes me sad that so many people’s first experience with a F/OSS kernel is with a design that bad.
I guess the modern solution is using ebpf+io_uring if you actually want to skip the string creation and parsing.
But yes, the whole fact that there is no generic interface to proc that avoids parsing strings is pretty embarrassing.

don't say it too loud or we'll get yet-another ioctl! Lol.
It does now: docs.kernel.org/filesystems/pr…
"Starting with 6.11 kernel, /proc/PID/maps provides an alternative ioctl()-based API that gives ability to flexibly and efficiently query and filter individual VMAs. This interface is binary and is meant for more efficient and easy programmatic use. struct procmap_query, defined in linux/fs.h UAPI header, serves as an input/output argument to the PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl() command."

at least you won't get some unexpected ioctl when implementing procfs implementation with fuse.
Also, Linux procfs is not one from Unix, it's one from Plan 9.

I like how some distributed systems now come as a single Go binary that can talk to itself using gRPC and does different jobs ("microservices") depending on command line arguments.
I wonder if #activitypub could and will evolve to help.
Every time I have to parse some random file in /proc or /sys I want to die.
@pervognsen the most fun part of advent of code is parsing arbitrary text formats, I always say. The unix philosophy is lit.
My rule of thumb is that any file format that was originally designed to be parsed with an awk one-liner, I want nothing to do with it. Honestly, "UNIX but everything is JSON (or whatever, but pick _one_ format)" would be a vast improvement, even if we can't have first-class structured data. I actually think creating a barrier to entry for parsing is a strict improvement in this case, because people hopefully aren't as tempted to hand-roll something shitty that only half-works.

@pervognsen "What do you mean pids no longer overflow on 16 bit and my parser now fails???"
tbh, trying to parse whatever undocumented binary blob the kernel internals will throw at you at times is even worse.
@pervognsen wait didn't /sys have an API to avoid doing path searching and text parsing?
Sometimes I feel this is what the JSON output mode of various tools tries to fiddle on top of the text processing
i read this sentiment often, and i understand the appeal, but: well defined **human readable** text output is also structured data, and oftentimes more easily parsed than data formats.
Also, text doesnt make sense everywhere, and in those cases structured data is already used to pipe between tools.
And besides that: single function tools are much much easier to check for correct function, easier to debug, easier to read the source of if necessary.
And also easier to replace.

> well defined
In my (admittedly very limited) experience with trying to understand Linux's /proc and /sys vomit, this probs leans towards not true in practice
You change kernel version the contents (and output and format) changes
You change computers it changes too
etc.
Sure the human mind can probably cope with it just fine but trying to programmatically parse it is another matter
I genuinely feel all those "human readable text streams" discussion is just distraction; you could probably encode all those data in something like JSON or XML with a formal schema to it and it'd be much better while still being a "human readable text stream"
Would a binary encoding be better? Maybe! But at the moment just putting a structure in to that madness would be a welcome improvement already...
@mavu I disagree that human readable text output, as seen in real-world *nix utilities, is structured data: anything that cannot wrap arbitrary possibly-untrusted text without the danger of mistaking it for framing does not deserve being called "structured". (I do admit that if we scrapped all of the garbage tools we're using and started from scratch, it would be possible to implement userspace tools that treat external data in a principled way. this is not going to happen.)
I do not agree with the "easier to replace" either. if it was true, you wouldn't have thousands-of-lines ./configure monstrosities checking if gawk is really gawk or not. there is no lower limit for complexity beyond which tools are "easy to replace" (while ensuring correctness of the replacement) in practice, and having a structured and interdependent suite of tools means that they have to be considered as a whole, and may be depended on as such.
I do not think that it is desirable to prioritize "ease of replacement" over things like "ease of ensuring the tools you're using work the way you think they should". if everyone keeps replacing the tools, it creates a nightmare situation for people trying to use the tools because you can hardly know what exactly the behavior of them is; a problem similar in shape to how the stable Linux ABI is Win32.

That is a good point, i didn't consider "hostile" data that might intentionally mess with output parsing.
1/? (i wish mastodon had at least some basic formatting for it's mesages.)

Structure data would have been great, but look how long it's taken us to get to the point where we have a data serialization language that is kinda okay to parse by humans and computers.
Something json-like in existence and known to Bell Labs in the late 60s and maybe things had looked very different?
But to get there, we've gone though xdr, corba, xml, etc, which fail so hard in usability.
By the time someone gets to needing hacks like changing $IFS at runtime, it should be obvious that something has gone *wildly* wrong with how small do-one-thing-well kinds of programs are glued together, and yet we're still having to deal with fucking Bash as some universal glue in 2026.
@xgranade
bash-in-yaml + python
write once, run nowhere
@Ezhik Bash-in-yaml? I think that's just how most CI systems work.
There are various structured shells that wrap a number of programs to emulate this.
The lack of any standard interop makes them much as silo'd projects duplicating work.
The closest to standard is arguably dbus but that has considerable issues of its own (and a lot more overhead than either COM or the Lisp Machine/managed code equivalent of composed function/program calls).
That's something I like about PowerShell's design. Granted PowerShell itself is super complicated and overly wordy to use as a shell so I usually just opened cmd through it if I didn't need a PowerShell command.
design we could have had, but never will: applications that communicate using structured data, simplifying life for both programmers and end users
This is why CHERIoT RTOS copied VMS and MULTICS, not UNIX. We run on microcontrollers orders of magnitude more powerful than the minicomputers UNIX was scaled down to support, we don’t need to make those sacrifices (and, by designing the ISA to support these abstractions, we can make programmer-friendly abstractions more efficient than the UNIX model).

isn't that what powershell is ? One day I'll have to pinch my nose and seriously go in to understand
A while back I stumbled on an interesting project by some people who were making significant headway in building structured-comms user space tooling for a linux world…..and then I lost the name
I recall I found it while exploring around the edges of helix, but haven’t been able to refind it as yet
this is a plan9 post, isn't it?
Exactly, plan9 is just taking the literal adherence to the letter of unix design to the extreme. 
The first time an experienced powershell user showed me programs on a windows CLI in a pipeline, passing data as json, I was sad. I saw exactly what you’re lamenting here. But I am not going to move to windows to get it.
tar is a thing. So was compress and now is gzip/xz/similar stuff. First is produces binary stream, second - compressed binary stream.
💯, though I’m periodically tempted by those tools created because someone DID want that last bullet point, eg nushell or xon.sh

"applications that communicate using structured data, simplifying life for both programmers and end users"
Good news! This is implemented in most modern Unices, and it's called D-Bus, and- *gets dragged off*
@david_chisnall @dragoonaethis the other thing I've run into with it is that a lot of the builtins seem to have array vs object confusion: where you'll have some verb that should return an array of objects, but instead it returns null, an object, or an array of objects when it should have returned an 0 element array, a 1 element array or an N element array. Makes doing anything structured unnecessarily unpleasant.
@david_chisnall it's a scripting language, I don't expect a full fat heavily-typed platform out of it tbh - the level of abstraction it provides seems just right to me
@dragoonaethis
It also leans heavily into verb-noun naming, which integrates poorly with autocomplete. And exposes objects more as structured data than objects, but doesn’t have the kind of polymorphism that functional languages have, which makes it very hard to write code that is generic over the data types.
It feels like a system designed by someone who saw a demo of Smalltalk and didn’t understand any of it but tried to copy it.
yeah fair
@jernej__s @dragoonaethis yeah that's particularly bizarre... but if you run it again it's fast; I always thought there was some .NET assembly loading/JITting shenanigan, but I never actually checked that.
@dragoonaethis Not just start, commands randomly take several seconds to do something that should be trivial (at least that's my experience on Windows).
@dragoonaethis yeah I wanted to daily-drive PowerShell on Debian at one point
unfortunately... as you probably already know, PowerShell
I’ve had a pretty good time using nushell to do some otherwise gnarly data wrangling, but there is definitely a mental model transition that slows things down and I haven’t yet mastered. I’m not sure yet if it’s an inherent learning curve, or if there’s just an awkward mismatch between the shell pipeline and some operations. It’s enough like shell, and enough like some weird functional language and enough like sql that I’m not sure which mental model will lead to something working.
It has definitely allowed me to do things in a code snippet that would otherwise have been a *spreadsheet* and that is a huge step up in reproducibility and ability to share. Especially when I have to do that formation a year later.
@dragoonaethis I've done precisely that before, and it's both much less and much more painful than I would have expected. That said, nushell seems to basically be "what if pwsh was fast?"
@Dragoon Aethis Yes that came to mind immediately here too when reading the original post.

Did you ever encounter Tool Types on Amiga Workbench?
I sorta felt as if they offered that kind of functionality?
IIRC, I remember using some terminal program (Terminus I think?) and dropping in a telnet Tool Type, and voilà, it suddenly evolved the ability to also handle telnet!
Maybe someone created an SSH Tool Type in the ensuing years and that old Terminus program would be improved via a Tool Type as well? I dunno.
DM2 (DiskMaster2, I guess source code archived here: github.com/RudolphRiedel/DiskM…) felt similarly extensible, with very little muss or fuss.
Windows' File Explorer can be customized, sorta (e.g. use XYZ program to open .TLA), and macOS has the whole "Open with" option, but to me at least, neither felt as seamless nor as powerful as the Amiga Workbench Tool Type paradigm.
I think maybe MIME types were trying to be something similar? I remember in early web browsers, having to add MIME type handlers manually in browsers (and OFC, on HTTPD server configurations too) but it always felt way clunkier (like just about everything on the web) and it's been years since I remember doing anything with MIME types in a browser. Alas, post browser wars, browser specific Plugins/Extensions seem to become "the thing" and are just worse and worse in contrast IMHO. MIME stuff got shoved into (some) MUA (Mail User Agents, aka email clients) too, but never felt as unified; much more haphazard and slapdash. Sort of devolved into the VSTs of some network oriented protocols, but with less snazzy results.
Amiga's Tool Types felt as if something similar to UNIX pipes had leveled up to the GUI era, but too many missed the message I guess? Or never got it. ;(

@teajaygrey I've never had an opportunity to use Amiga... anything; I don't think the hardware was available in my environment even in the amounts that would have given me an awareness of its existence before 2010
Totally understandable, Commodore declared bankruptcy in 1994.
If you ever cross paths with someone who was an Amiga user, back before the Commodore bankruptcy occurred? Chances are you're in the presence of some sort of wizard. That is not a hard and fast rule, I can think of at least one example of an Amiga user back in those days who was well, more or less reviled in the local 408 BBS scene for a number of what at the time, seemed like justifiable reasons.
It's not really easy to explain from a retro lens. I think 2017's Viva Amiga tried as a documentary effort; but I was already part of the choir, so preaching to me isn't a great way for me to know if it lands with others who never experienced the magic.
Where I was at the time (in Monterey County) the local Amiga users group was called: SMAUG (Salinas Monterey Amiga Users Group), there was just something different (in a good way) about Amiga savvy sorts.

@teajaygrey i did notice, essentially through osmosis, that Amiga seemed... different; one thing that stood out to me is how a notionally ancient platform was used for all sorts of graphics-intensive applications i wouldn't have expected something that old to perform well at. i made the conclusion that it was probably expensive and well-designed but never looked further
@teajaygrey i imagine these days it can be effortlessly emulated on any recent platform
UAE does a pretty respectable job of Amiga emulation for sure!
I've still managed to bring it (and the host system) to its knees with some demos; but the demo scene really came into its own on the Amiga, and subsequently Amiga "compos" (competitions) remain a vibrant section in most demo scene related events, decades after Commodore's demise.
More recently, there seem to be various "NO CPU" classes of Amiga oriented demos? ^_^
But the cat and mouse game of demo sceners and emulator authors is an ongoing one and doesn't require an Amiga. Trixster's "8088MPH: We Break All Your Emulators" being an example for early IBM PC hardware: trixter.oldskool.org/2015/04/0… (and eventually, that did give rise to someone writing an emulator to handle it, I guess!)
8088 MPH: We Break All Your Emulators
One of my bucket list items since I read my first party report back in 1991 was to attend a european demoparty and compete in a compo. I competed at NAID ’96 and placed there, which was awes…Trixter (Oldskooler Ramblings)
"i made the conclusion that it was probably expensive and well-designed but never looked further"
Amigas were unequivocally: Well-designed!
"expensive"? Kind of relative. I think for their era, they offered probably the best "bang for the buck" and were considerably more affordable than Apple Macintosh systems while being substantially more versatile. SGI (Silicon Graphics) workstations were a lot more expensive, but maybe offered some advantages for those who could afford them and were well versed in UNIX already.
I was in the middle of writing a much longer reply, but life and dinner and Friday night (deejay grandma is takin over for Jessu at the moment: twitch.tv/jessu) have been distractin me.
So, I tossed that here rather than waste ActivityPub bandwidth and storage (particularly since I don't run this snac instance):
@teajaygrey oh interesting!
I hope the "interesting" was with regards to Jessu (or "grandma") deejayin?
Me nerdin out on old computer stuff, hopefully is more histrionic and definitely less fun for a Friday night. ^_^
well at least some tools have json / xml output but urgh
if we're going json based then jq will be a necessity
I remember, (maybe decades ago now) being excited by the prospect of PowerShell back when it was still known as Monad. Somehow I got the idea that maybe it supposedly derived inspiration from Lisp Machines (stuff such as Symbolics [Open]Genera was very object oriented too if the sorts who wrote the UNIX Hater Handbook could be believed).
Alas, when I finally got around to running Monad? And its later PowerShell renamed iterations?
Nothing but disappointment after disappointment.
It's inexcusably slow to interact with for a CLI.
Back when I used to get paid to administer Windows systems, PowerShell basically was a sideways if not backwards move from cmd.exe and RDP to me any time I actually needed to get something done. I was much more grateful for Cygwin and even uwin and to a lesser extent SFU (Services For UNIX). Though if it weren't for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) becoming a thing so I could run something such as bash without cygwin.dll conflicts rearing their ugly head and Micro$oft overhauling cmd.exe heavily? I probably would have given up Windows even sooner.
These days, you can't pay me enough to touch such things and tbh, I am probably owed a lot of back pay from any organization which previously paid me to suffer through such stuff. It's awful. I may harbor slightly less resentment for the (Open)VMS systems in my past, because they were fewer in number mostly. (MPE in my past is still a wtfh, those things were so weird I am grateful I encountered them but I am way more grateful I have not encountered any since 2006).
But Monad/PowerShell did have "promise"!
Playing with old Smalltalk implementations is still far more joyous, and faster, and less resource demanding and to me at least, demonstrative of a more holistic design ethos. Though, I never did get around to revising this MacPort enough to submit a Pull Request: trac.macports.org/ticket/67457 Someday, maybe? Smalltalk has iterated into various other neat things and derivatives, but PowerShell? Ungh, it just seems to get worse with time.

Definition von Morgen als jener willkürliche Zeitpunkt, an dem fehlender Schlaf aufhört, ein Ärgernis zu sein, und zum erwarteten Zustand reift. Planverschiebungen, innere Unruhe, ein knapper Blick in den Spiegel, ein langes Gähnen in der Küche. Partitur für Kühlschrank und Wasserkessel, so vertraut wie dissonant. Fuß vor Fuß, physisch und mental. Schritt um Schritt. Langsames Hochfahren in die Woche. Habt es mild heute!

Washed into my inbox and worth a closer look:
As part of the development of our Custom Usability Index, which can be used to measure the degree of usability of a software project, we as Usability Team took a closer look at those principles and extended them to 13 top categories, which contain multiple usability aspects each. In this article those categories and aspects are explained in more detail and illustrated with examples.
blogs.zeiss.com/digital-innova…
All along with other non-functional requirements to run into, usability, in its various aspects, is something both relevant and ignored just too often, with issues hard to fix afterwards.

Sunday evening mood, hours later. Heavy head dizzy mind and outlines and messages and deviations in inner roads leading the flow of thoughts astray repeatedly. Some music, perceived briefly, not really focussed. Breathing against the cough and the night. Watching the street gradually dim its windows. A wink of an eye until dawn. Sleep safe everyone wherever you are.

Hey, Iain! Welcome! We love photos of the natural world! (And cats).
I hope you find some refuge and safe haven here.
Political types will argue, but gratuitous meanness is not the norm, and Nazis are not welcomed.
Follow anyone who piques your interest to get started but feel no obligations to continue if your interests change. Because there is no algorithm feeding you posts, the more folks you follow the more posts you'll see.
Also hashtags are great for letting others with similar interests find you, and you them. I just stumbled into a bunch of bass players - not my thing but they all were having a blast. Someone I follow boosted the original post so I saw it.
Good luck and enjoy!

@FediTips thanks, I'm sure I'll hit a wall soon 😃 but so far, it's pretty intuitive. Will be following and will check out the nifty web site. Thanks 🙏
Welcome to the Fedi, the friendliest place on the web, and no algorithms to hide the posts of those you follow. Mute is good for lots of duplication.
welcome, hope you enjoy being here.
@BerserkEd_PT thanks, Edgar. Loving it so far ❤️
Welcome! Hope you will be very happy here. BTW (only in case you haven’t learned this yet) if there are people you follow who may boost too much non-fungal material (like me), you can opt to just see their own posts. So glad you have made it here and thanks for the beautiful photos.
@Amistad thanks Ami, good tips ❤️
Welcome! It's good here. 💜
Welcome aboard!
Great photo and welcome! Hope you like it here.

Welcome to the fringes of the internet. Where interactions, for the most part, are genuine. Seeing more and more 'regular' people jumping out of the abyss into a more open ended web is a wonderful thing. When you yell into this void, someone will yell back. It's terrifying. Right? :sickmeme:
@mrgrumpymonkey it's like the internet used to be when your entry point was marked with screeching noises from a modem.
Welcome to the last sane corner of the Internet. #EnjoyTheRide
a fellow refugee from faceb00k. I joined a few days back too. Still trying to figure out my way around, but finding much more engaging commentary. Nice pic 👍🏻
mighty misty -- nice photo.
Welcome. If you are coming from FB, depending on how you ist it, you might also want to check out #Friendica as this is supposed to be an alternative to this one. Masto is more like Twitter. (Both share the same network, however)
I'm sure you'll love it here. Full of really nice people.
Cool mood capture. Great first post.
welcome to Mastodon, from sunny (ish) Aotearoa/ New Zealand.
yay! Welcome and fab pic! 👍🏻😎
Welcome! 🎉
Please leave the fakenews at the doorstep! This forest is certainly not new. All the old Leaves and that stump.... /s
May I recommend the hashtags #thicktrunktuesday and #Mosstodon
Welcome to the Fediverse~
What made you decide to actually join here, how did you come to choose Mastodon, and specifically mastodon.social?
Tomorrow you may want to check out the hashtag #ThickTrunkTuesday . It’s about tree photos.

Vielleicht lädt dieses Bild dazu ein, nicht nach Schärfe zu suchen,
sondern nach Ruhe. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich euch einen #SilentSunday

9am and on. The mornings and the play of flocks of thoughts above ones head within ones mind. Candles, fruits and mental walks before getting out into the pale daylight.

Ooooooh! That's an elegant beach.
I happened upon a pretty shoreline somewhere around the northern Nevada side in the fall too

(Stadtmorgen, Nachtwehen, Selbstgespräche ohne neue Argumente und ohne Nachsicht mit dem Gegenüber. Bäume, Häuser, Mäuse. Unten tönen Kinderlieder, Kinderstimmen durch den Flur. Katzenschatten auf heller Wand. Das Licht ist noch müde vor dem ersten Kaffee, so früh im Monat. Habt es mild heute.)

Back after all, listening, watching. Birds nearby, birds in distance. Student life across the streets behind windows half opened, both kinds: That one involving books and paper, and that one involving music and drinks. Chances and paths within familiar boundaries. And ones own limitations everywhere nearby. A sigh in cold air. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

Your daily fortune:
When life closes a door, simply crack a window to let some fresh air in, then sit down with tea and a good book. It's your time now.

Nachmittag Vorabend in Stadtluft. Die eigenen Schritte auf kaltem Stein. Parkbuchten, Haustüren, Nachbars Hunde. Die ersten Supermärkte haben ihre Tore verschlossen. Zeitlos am Rande des Weges, immer noch im Tag.

@sylvia The infamous seven hills it’s built on are part of our lives since day one. Strongest legs in a European capital city, that is for sure one of our traits. Every day is leg day!
You do get a lot of exercise where you live.
