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

@Possumantha the one I'm doing right now is going to be 375 cm (3 panels of 125 cm wide fabric)

with a cage crinoline I guess more than 4 meters would not surprise me (but I still don't have one)

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)

I love Brütal Legend. I explored the world to find everything, which was easy to do with the awesome soundtrack.
in reply to Dread Pirate (Tom) Roberts

@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

@Alessandro ah, beh, se le hai in casa meglio ancora! :D

mi sembrava un po' tardi per andare a comprarne



food
Periodic reminder (because I had forgotten) that yogurt with wasabi (powder or paste (the kind that contains traces of wasabi)) mixed in is great as a sauce between dark-ish bread and smoked fish.
in reply to harry haller

@harry haller those wasabi products are usually mostly horseradish and possibly mustard (and a low single digit percentage of wasabi) anyway, so I'd think it can definitely do, yeah.


Yesterday I forgot to post, but: *stickerses*!

@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 )

gli adesivi invece sono appena stati messi nella borsa che domani verrà portata al #LinuxDay2025 di Casorate Sempione :)



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?

(sto cercando una laser a colori con connessione di rete cablata)

@ModestinoSycamore @andre123 La questione dovrebbe essere questa: consumerrights.wiki/w/Brother_…

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?

@ciccillo @sans_serif_girl

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
