hot take: the somewhat glitchy notifications¹ on the pinephone aren't a bug, they are a feature.

They work this way to preserve your mental health by protecting you from constant notifications and the pressure to be always available for interruptions :D

¹ they tend not to work while the phone is suspended.

Wooo! new posts on the ex-urbe blog!

and another one is coming tomorrow!

sono le sei meno venti, e a causa di un incrocio carpiato di confcall ho appena acceso il forno (elettrico) per la pizza della cena.

#IRegretNothing #thisIsTheNorth

#wip icon for a (not really) new #wip project: Collector, an app to organize collections of various kinds, built on top of lesana

(symbolic icon is still to do...)

Uh, happy birthday #ReText!

I have to confess that I use it mostly to preview reST files that I've written with vim, but it's one of those nice bits of software that I like to have installed.

Also, I've installed it on my #pinePhone and it works! :D

Testing of De Atramentis #inks continue.

I've finally finished the Pelikan 4001 in my preppy #fountainpen, and filled it¹ with the De Atramentis Document Black

On good paper the lines are slightly wider than the Pelikan 4001, but still reasonable, and it writes nicely (a bit scratchy when reverse writing, but I don't think I can expect anything else when reverse writing on a japanese EF :D )

Then I tried on a bit of the worst printer paper I had around, and I can say “it works”. I could see the line getting wider as I writed, but the result isn't bad.

I also needed a test of the red, so I used a dip pen (with a flexible nib)

and these are the backs of the samples above, with some ghosting, but bleedthrough is really happening only when I flexed the nib.

And now, I need to find the strength of mind to wait until I have finished at least a bottle or two of other inks before buying the whole De Atramentis Document series :D (also, nope, that's way too expensive to buy at one time :D )

¹ not a full converter load, because I don't use it enough

@SlowRain

I've had a fix!

I've found the right incantation to enable the right agps on the #pinephone to get a fix in a reasonable amount of time (it was almost instantaneous, but the phone had been outside with gps but not agps-msb enabled for quite some time)

The script I've used to enable everything is:

#!/bin/sh

mmcli -m any --location-enable-3gpp
mmcli -m any --location-enable-gps-nmea
mmcli -m any --location-enable-agps-msb
mmcli -m any --location-status
mmcli -m any --location-get

(of course the last two are just to see that everything is setup correctly).

Now, I need to find out why Maps believes that the location services are disabled, and Settings is telling me that they are enabled…

Showcases are not only people painting environments with Krita, sometimes it's tailors designing garments with free/libre Valentina software :)

#lasagne #wip

(mordor meme: one does not simply walk into an haberdasher)

to buy matching ribbon during a lockdown, no, one must make it from self fabric. finicky, slippery, self fabric.

And then they reopen the shops in advance, but meanwhile the hat is almost done

(picture of a witch hat with ear covers, in dark green herringbone fabric and gold lining).

The idea and instructions for the hat are from Bernadette Banner: youtube.com/watch?v=bwDo4R6wtu…

#lettureimpegnate

For some reason, I had to send a screenshot to a friend, and the context was #pinephone related.

So (after I had sent the serious screenshot done with import from ImageMagick) I took my pinephone, opened the Megapixels app, took a blurry picture of the screen, opened dino-im (which does not really fit in the screen yet, since I'm still using the packaged version in #mobian), tried to send the picture, realized that the 15+MB .tiff file would have been blocked by the server, opened the terminal, installed imagemagick, converted the .tiff in jpg, sent the jpg with dino-im, and of course it was rotated 90° from what I expected it to be.

Definitely ready as a daily driver, right? :D

(btw, this is just me being silly, it's not ready, but things *are* improving)

And dere vill be anodder #hat

The design is by Bernadette Banner youtube.com/watch?v=bwDo4R6wtu…

This is just an unlined mockup in cotton, but I have some leftovers of dark green wool from my old girl genius costume and they are already on my cutting table :)
