Speaking of #BannerFangirls: I've been wondering whether there is anybody else here in the fediverse who has suffered from an irresistible urge to have a witch hat with ear flaps.
A proposito di #BannerFangirls: mi stavo chiedendo se ci fosse qualcun'altro qui nel fediverso che ha avuto un desiderio irresistibile di possedere un cappello da strega coi paraorecchie.

It's done!
I've finished making my gentleman's shirt (or Garibaldi Shirt, if we want to call it with a womanswear name) and published the full instructions online.

of course, I was wearing my best white shirt, why do you ask?
(luckily, some bleach later, it seems that it is back to being white)

Status update on the 1880 gentleman's shirt.
After discovering that I had cut the sleeves wrong and keeping the project on hold for a while, I've resumed working on it, re-cutting and re-sewing the sleeves.
I've finished one of the sleeves and it's ready to be attached to the body.
The other sleeve is almost completely done, except for the fact that I maaaay have lost one of the cuffs. Tomorrow I'll try to look for it again, or I'll surrender and cut another one :(
At least one sleeve is enough to take the remaining pictures , so that when I'm not sewing I can keep working on the pattern and hopefully publish it in the near future.

And this was the last step-by-step picture, now I only need to press the shirt and take some finished object pictures (weather permitting) and then I can publish the instructions!

The pattern for the rain-inducing shorts has finally been
sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/…
ok, published. sort of. without a finished object picture.
because when I cut that pair, I cut one of the legs wrong, and it's shorter than the other one :( (they are fine for wearing, since they aren't visible anyway)
I will add more pictures when I'll make a new pair, but right now I don't think I'll need them short term.

I've searched and couldn't find anything: do you happen to know whether there is an easy way to generate a #zim archive out of a #sphinx site? maybe a sphinx extension?
Or maybe it isn't really needed because most sphinx sites can be exported to a single pdf file, and that's convenient enough for #offline use?
Oh, well I should also store a fair #laptop, some #network gear and #photovoltaic cells into a strong #faradaycage in case of a #EMP attack.😅

quello si può all'incirca fare: la query diventa qualcosa tipo ```colour:brown AND length > 120 AND width > 180```, purché si siano configurato i campi length e width come sortable (che non è il default perché avere troppi campi sortable influenza le prestazioni)
che io sappia non si può fare una query tipo ```lenght = null``` (di solito per quelli finisco per usare grep :D )

@Bevilacqua Gustavino uops, I didn't realize you wrote in en...
that can be done, the query becomes something like ```colour:brown AND length > 120 AND width > 180```, as long as the length and width have been configured as sortable (which is not the default because too many sortable fields influence performance).
afaik it isn't possible to have a query like ```length = null``` (usually when I need something like that I use grep :D )
@Bevilacqua Gustavino I've found that for this kind of applications in most cases, having free text search with stemming is more useful than querying for none, so I think that the tradeoff is worth.
In theory, I could probably write an additional backend to index the data also in an sqlite database for that kind of queries, but I've never felt enough of a need for it to actually *do* it :D

valhalla vs the gentleman's shirt round 2
the sleeves that were too small and made me stop working on the shirt for a while weren't a failed experiment in how narrow I could cut them, they were cut wrong as compared to the size I had planned to cut on the notes.
a second pair of sleeves has been cut.
the first pair is just too narrow at the cuff, but I believe can work on the arm; I will probably be able to use them on a chemise or something, I'm not sure if I want to cut them so that they are 3/4, or leave them long and use a closure that doesn't need any overlap.

Looks like people are still using my SailfishOS Friendica client.
As my Jolla1 died some time ago, I've stopped developing it, but I thought I could check how it works on newer sfos with the emulator.
But I can't find the code. I'm quite sure there is a git repo somewhere but I can't find it 🤦

Other half found!

Still didn't tried to build it..
The disk where I found first-half had newer code for front-end, but was missing the backend. The disk where I found the backend had an older code, but with divergent history (because, why push code on remote...).
So I'm not sure backend code is up-to-date with latest frontend...
I had a version 1 #Solo key (solokeys.com/) from the first crowdfunding that I've never managed to use, and lately every attempt to talk to it failed with ValueError: Non-canonical CBOR from Authenticator, including when trying to update its firmware to try and get it to work.
This evening I've found the solution on fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_S… : that old version of the key can't be turned into bootloader mode via software, but it needs to be connected to the pc while holding down the button until the led starts blinking.
And now I could update it, and it's working! YAY for a non-bricked key!

I may have been tempted to buy some more art supplies (mostly paper, this time).
And while I was browsing the new products section of the website, they had poster paper, which I hadn't seen before.
And I remembered that some time ago I saw this tutorial twinsnneedles.com/2020/12/14/m… to make a tool to help pleat fabric.
And I may have accidentally added some poster paper to my shopping cart :D
This is a quick test I did to check whether it would survive being pressed with steam (it does) and which backing to use between more of the same paper and thin cardboard (the latter seems to be working nicely).
I've already glued a bigger pleater, about 30 cm × 30 cm with 1 cm pleats, it's currently drying.
And now I only have to decide what I want to pleat next :D

Bad sleep, too hot, idea of the morning: I wonder whether pass(1) (the command line password manager) would be a good tool to keep an address book of the people with whom I regularly exchange #snailMail.
Up to now I've used paper (no man page, the physical thing :D), but that usually remains at home when I'm traveling, and I'm not in the habit to send postcards, but sometimes the sudden need for a letter happens (and paper is harder to backup and harder to encrypt in case it's lost).

@Luca Sironi @Enrico Rossi I wouldn't store physical addresses on a smartphone, and especially not unencrypted: it would be fine if they were businesses, of course, but the combination of real name + surname and home address of people, often even associated with their nickname is something that I wouldn't want to have on something that is easily lost or stolen.
And I'm quite sure that most of them wouldn't consider it ok if I just appeared at their door unannounced. :)
otoh, if it is at home and only accessible via a vpn it's safer, but then one needs the internet connection to get the data, which may or may not be available while traveling.
Apparently, for some *inexplicable* reason, talking on the phone with your father is not conductive to successfully counting the cards you're turning to improvise a double faced #tabletWeaving design :D
But it's fine, this band is meant to be a sort of sandbox to learn the tecnique, anyway (and I'm using one of my first spun yarns, which isn't of high quality either).

Today's #solarOven experiment was an apple *thing* (too much sugar for a sauce, probably too little to make it keep like a preserve): 130 g pureed apples and 40 g sugar, white in one jar, muscovado in the other.
In theory, I believe that if I heated the jars in the solar oven the day before, filled them to the top instead of just halfway, and fully closed the lid (maybe for the last hour or so of cooking) it should be safe for preserving (maybe also with a bit more sugar), since everything has been at pasteurization temperatures for hours. In practice, this one is going in the fridge, and I don't think it's going to survive much more than two days :D

L'esperimento di oggi con il #fornoSolare è stata una *cosa* di mele (troppo zucchero per essere una composta, troppo poco per essere una marmellata): 130 g di mele tritate e 40 g di zucchero, bianco e in un barattolo e mascobado nell'altro.
In teoria credo che scaldando i barattoli nel forno solare il giorno prima, riempiendoli fino all'orlo anziché solo a metà e chiudendo del tutto il tappo (magari solo per l'ultima oretta di cottura) dovrebbe essere conservabile (magari mettendo anche un po' più di zucchero), dato che è stato tutto a temperature di pastorizzazione per ore. In pratica, questo finisce nel frigo, e non credo che sopravviverà molto più di due giorni :D

I don't have a good place to use the #solarOven in the middle of the day (I get direct sun from around 13:30 daylight saving time), and today it's a bit overcast, but the temperature probe below the pot has been above 65°C for a few hours now.

Today I decided I wanted to resume working on a #python script to generate an svg file for a piecepack set from a template and svgs of the suites, which is something I've been working on and (mostly) off for ages.
What I did today:
* did a bit of cleanup in the directory where I thought the script was (it wasn't)
* moved an unrelated script (to generate a template for telescoping boxes) which *was* in the above directory to the repository where I was actually working on the piecepack script
* did the initial release on pypy of my library to write command line commands (which at the moment is basically just what I had in lesana, extracted in a way that is general purpose).
Not sure whether I should have a feeling of accomplishment (I *did* things that were in the queue for months) or lack of :D

I'm not 100% happy with it: it is quite heavy, so it's probably not really confortable to use (or at least to carry around), but using a thinner wool probably wouldn't be sturdy enough. Also, the felting isn't very regular.
However, it is usable, so I'm calling it done, and will use it at home.
And move on to the next attempt at making AllTheFauxdori. because I'm absolutely not obsessed with those, right?
