TFW you are sewing a skirt, with various meters¹ of fabric on your legs, and need to check your notes², and you know that you've updated them somewhat on the laptop, but you're on the PC, so you git pull and. timeout.
the VPS³ where you have the git repository is down. and you could sync directly with the laptop, but you're here under various meters of fabric and the laptop is over there, turned off, on the other side of the room!
or you can complain on the internet until the VPS is back :D
(and find out that you didn't push your commit from the laptop)
¹ we don't do those “90 cm cut of fabric, good for a skirt here. it's ankle-length at the very least, and finished circumference at the hem above 3 m or GTFO
² what will become instructions on my website
³ contabo, if anybody is wondering

Meanwhile in Bisuschio (near en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Ci… )
And yes, it was indeed full of books (it's the size of the typical small #littleFreeLibraries )

Intanto a Bisuschio (il paese in cui c'è it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Ci… )
E sì, era pieno di libri (a parte il modellino era fatto come la tipica #casettaDeiLibri piccola)

Filed under: I may have a problem.
Lately I've been playing Brütal Legend, where there are red things hidden around the world that are useful when found.
Yesterday evening I was talking to @Diego Roversi when I spotted the red cap of a bottle of tick and mosquito repellent on top of a cupboard, and in mid conversation my brain went “red! mine!”
(to be fair, in the right season tick and mosquito repellent *is* useful and gives a stat bonus)

@Tom Roberts @Diego Roversi yeah, I've only had a computer able to play it for a couple of years, so I'm pretty late to it, but now that I've finished it I definitely want to go around and find all of the missing bound serpents and buried metal (not that there are *that many* left)
the only problem I have with it is that at times I got stuck not being able to do what I need to do (say, start a (side) quest) because I didn't want the current song to stop playing :D

now the question is: how many will be left for the dead to eat tonight?

@ragazza senza grazie i sorgenti di quelli esagonali sono su git.trueelena.org/crafts/hex_s… (tranne quelli disegnati da @Fabio che sono su git.sr.ht/~fabrixxm/stickers )

Gentil fediverso che lotta contro le stampanti
missà che la nostra è davvero arrivata, e sto meditando l'acquisto di una nuova: mi risulta che il consiglio del fediverso per stampanti che stampano e non cercano di infinocchiarti in abbonamenti vari siano le Brother, e i negozi soliti da cui compro questo genere di cose o non ne hanno, o hanno delle multifunzione enormi (e sono comunque esaurite)
avete consigli di negozi con sito da cui comprare stampanti, idealmente in it, al più in eu?

saturday I had to wait about two hours for the seasonal vaccines, I tried to stand as close as possible to the open window in the busy waiting room, and noticed that I had noticed the sound of two trains from the nearby railway, but not the other four, from a different operator, and started to wonder whether the trains from the other operator were newer and more silent, but then the ones I had noticed often are also run with even more recent trains and…
this is (waiting for) vaccines causing autism, right?

Immagino che fare un plastico di quella linea sia il sogno bagnato della maggior parte dei ferromodellisti, ma 51 km in scala 1:87 (la classica "H0") richiederebbero un bel po' di spazio.

my mother's AC, also used for heating, has stopped working yesterday morning (service will be called tomorrow, because weekend).
since a few days I suspect that one of the heating elements in my oven is no longer turning on (I still need to test it, and then call service, I guess, or try to open it and see if there is anything obvious, otherwise call service).
and now my printer is giving errors of the “try a good clean, but if that doesn't work you need to change a motor that costs more than a new printer” kind (considering options. it wasn't printing that well lately, anyway).

@David Bremner on the way to the vaccination we stopped at the library to leave some books we had read, and on the way back we stopped again to get some more books.
and we also looked at the titles in the little free library (but didn't find anything interesting)
for this weekend *we have plans* :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •Quella situazione in cui stai cucendo una gonna, hai svariati metri¹ di stoffa sulle gambe e devi controllare gli appunti², ma sai di averli aggiornati sul portatile, ma sei sul PC, e quindi fai git pull. e ti va in timeout.
la VPS³ su cui hai il repository git è irraggiungibile, e potresti sincronizzare direttamente con il laptop, ma tu sei qui, sotto svariati metri di stoffa, e il portatile è là, spento, dall'altro lato della stanza!
oppure puoi lamentarti su internet fino a che la VPS non torna :D
(e scoprire che non hai fatto push del commit dal laptop)
¹ qui non esiste “scampolo da 90 cm, per una gonna. qui si parte dalla lunghezza caviglie e almeno 3 m di circonferenza dell'orlo o non se ne fa niente.

Anni fa alla festa PRC di Savona arivò un sarto della Liberia.
Che usava tessuti con dissegni coloratissimi.
E misurava in pollici.
Una delle cuoche fu così contenta di avere solo 48 di girovita che si fece fare 6 vestiti.
