whooops, that one DOS fighting game I've played a lot when I was young has been released as freeware (nonFree, just downloadable). Let us download it, what can possibly go wrong?

Vedere Twitter che traduce "thread" as in "discussion thread" con "Rocchetto di filo" mi indispone assai. Se avessi un account l'avrei già chiuso.
Fortunatamente non ce l'ho.

My quite big patch to #friendica has been merged into develop. Thanks to @Hypolite Petovan for his patience rewieving the thing.
Now let the new bugs it creates come to me...

Work in progress on "Collector"
Collector is a #GNOME collection manager based on lesana, still #wip. Lately I found the time (and the will) to get back to hack on it.
Collection entries now can be added and edited, using specific widget per field type, with input validation.
Field types are been updated to be in sync to latest lesana release.
( This collection can be browse online at linkopedia.gl-como.it/ )
A GtkSourceView allow edit yaml fields (with validation)
Still many thing doesn't works as it should: textviews expand instead of wrap text, settings dialog don't fit on phone, fields can't be removed nor ordered, git integration is to do and entry list view needs speed up...

my preciooouuuuuuuuuus has arrived!
Thanks to a combination of coincidences, last week I ordered 50 garment labels in woven cotton (pictured above as they arrived from the german language shop, as a continuous strip, with the writing in white over a black background) with the hashtag #FreeSoftWear to sew on the garments I make for which a Free as in Freedom pattern is available .
Now I need to be better at actually writing compilationsewing instructions for the valentina patterns I put on my git repo, because right now they tend to be... obvious to a quite experienced sewist who already did something similar?

I've made myself a new pair of Rosalia Stockings.
It's my second pair (a few years after the first, because I got distracted), and this time I've solved the fitting issues with my first pair, so now I can make ALL THE STOCKINGS!
Mostly the pattern is symmetrical for the right and left leg, but my feet are very much not symmetrical, so I changed the stocking to be more pointy rather than square-toed.
It's made from the leftovers of a cut of black cotton jersey that I was using for something that was supposed to be a nightgown, but is looking more like a little black dress (yay for drafting my own patterns and always having predictable results :D )
Also, I've finally found a use for at least two repeats of a piece of plastic lace that I got for free from a shop more than a decade ago because it had been discolored by the sun (at strategically placed positions that made it harder to use in any kind of length). Also, have I mentioned “plastic”? I wanted to use it for something, but it's scratchy enough that I didn't want it anywhere where it could touch my skin. Here it's safely on the outside, it helps distinguish this pair from future pairs I'm going to make, and it looks nice.

I was puzzled on why #syncthing on my laptop was showing "2021-06-02" as last synchronization date with my #raspberrypi.
So I logged in my raspi via ssh, and magically the two devices started to sync.
A quick look at the raspberrpi's journal (# journalctl --since=today) showed:
ago 02 17:22:20 raspberrypi systemd[32888]: pam_unix(systemd-user:session): session opened for user pi(uid=1000) by (uid=0)
[...]
ago 02 17:22:21 raspberrypi syncthing[32908]: [start] INFO: syncthing v1.12.1-ds1 "Fermium Flea" (go1.15.9 linux-arm64) debian@debian 2021-04-08 21:52:00 UTC🤦
I had setuped Syncthing to start with a user #systemd service unit, so the service was running only when user had log in and was stopped when the user logs out!
I want the synced files to be own by the user, so I have to run Synchthing from a system unit, but as my user. Now.. I could copy the user service file and set up a system service file from there but.... the kind developers of Syncthing have done that for us already!
It's been a matter of
$ systemctl --user disable syncthing.service --now
$ sudo systemctl enable synching@pi.service --now
where pi is the user Synching will run as... nice!

yup. is a systemd session started from scratch by pam when the user logs in for the first time.
I haz a #bustle cage!
(picture of a bustle cage in off-white fabric with lace over the boning and box pleats at the bottom)
There is a gaping hole at the top because the top row of boning is a bit too high and I didn't have enough fabric to pleat it correctly to the waistband; I will probably add a few more tapes to keep that bit of fabric taut.
It's based on adamselindisdress.wordpress.co… (and the instructions on the book by the same author), but I've added tapes on the inside instead of a full inside back piece so that the width can be regulated, but most importantly making it was much easier, as even the second side seam is done on a flat cage instead of a 3D shape.

The tapes at the top have been added, and I've finished hemming by hand all 24 tape ends.
Next step, finishing the summer corset before summer ends, now that I have the missing notions :D
Next next step, petticoat.

That's the fork of valentina, right? valentinaproject.bitbucket.io/
I had been using it before the DRAMA, and now it's even in Debian (and it keeps being developed).
To be honest, I'm glad that somebody else is doing the maintenance and dealing with the drama bits, because the program itself is pretty good.
I've seen that the website uses the same approach to pattern making, and I wonder if there is a way to convert between those formats, but yesterday evening I couldn't find anything about it.
I've made a list of all the #sewing projects I have in various stages of planning / making (and for which I already have fabric and most notions). It's 17 items long. no, wait, make it 18, but it didn't fit in the page. Plus at least four fixes to existing garments (probably more).
I need to stop starting new projects (yeah, right, like that's going to happen).

No, I don't think you've ever shared it, and I needed something like this for a current project, thanks.
only... I think I've found a bug :D
It is possible to select just one colour in the first screen, but if you do so, you get Uncaught Error: colorCount should be between 2 and 20. To get one color, call getColor() instead of getPalette() in the javascript console (followed by Uncaught TypeError: getColor is not a function
Using two colours work fine.

Dear lazyweb,
I remember that some time ago somebody mentioned a good (well maintained with modern extensions) #xmpp server that offered accounts for a small price (as opposed to free) and wasn't conversations.im, but I can't find which one it was.
I'm writing suggestions for new users, and I'd like to provide more than just one alternative.

For example, the jmp.chat gateway. Once a person has an account on some server and a client application, then jmp.chat/ gives xmpp phone numbers with standard telephony network connections for a small fee after a free demo period. They are a gateway for voicemail, texts, SIP and other media through xmpp, and committed to the GPL.
For more technically inclined readers, xmpp.org/about/myths.html compares benefits of xmpp with other communication standards protocols.
Thanks everybody!
I've sent what I was writing, it went badly for reasons mostly unrelated to xmpp itself, but this time I'm going to save all those links in a place where I'm going to find them again the next time I need them.
Thanks to the sewing machine, advances in the quality of machine lace etc. shirtwaists in the most delicate & dainty materials can now be had for pretty cheap, but before buying them the prudent office girl should ask herself: can I afford their laundry costs?

Penguins on a Plane
questa è vecchia, recuperata grazie alla wayback machine. L'originale è del 2007. Purtroppo mancano le immagini di contorno
Trama:
Un'agente dell'FBI porta a bordo di un aereo dei pinguini, senza sapere che il personaggio seduto a fianco a lui è un dirigente microsoft.
Quando, per una turbolenza, i pinguini scappano dalla stiva facendo irruzione tra i passeggeri, il dirigente entra in panico e dirotta l'aereo, minacciando i piloti e le hostess con una copia di windows vista premium, urlando "developers! developers! developers!"
Sarà compito di un ornitologo in pensione (S.L. Jackson) riportare la situazione alla calma, ritornando a un mestiere che aveva lasciato per colpa di una tragica vicenda.

omg. I must try this.
Wonderful!
I think to limit all those useful infos to just women (and specifically workwomen!) is a waste of knowledge…
the amount of *-ism in that book is just as can be expected from a book of the early 1800 that is meant to be used when teaching the poor so that they can become exploitable domestic workers.
But then, it was the early 1800s, it's not like one could expect anything better.
And for people who are interested in historical clothing, it's full of useful bits.

se avevo qualche senso di colpa per essermi fatta vaccinare anche se lavoro da casa, beh, non ne ho più.

Poi “ci sono gli slot” non vuole necessariamente dire che siano la settimana dopo e non dopo tipo un mese.
Però insomma, non si è più in una fase in cui pensare di essere vaccinati è un sogno remoto.
