Vendo a offerta libera rilegatrice manuale a spirale Rexel CB205.
C'è anche un discreto numero di spirali di plastica nera, ma devo ancora recuperarle per sapere quante e precisamente di che misure.
Vendo perché sono passata ad un sistema di rilegatura diverso (ma anche il fatto di non essere più all'università e/o in altri ambienti dove girano dispense stampate in copisteria aiuta :D )
Ritiro zona Varese.

I've just put a debian live on an usb key, put it on the pegboard close to the home servers¹ and told my partner it was there in case he needed an emergency debian live.
And then asked him if I should put it on a cord with a fast release buckle, so that the emergency debian live could be pulled down quickly in case of emergency.
And… I need to do it, right?
¹ for which it is completely useless, because arch mismatch, but it was a convenient place

Ho appena messo una debian live su una chiavetta, l'ho appesa al pannello portaoggetti che c'è accanto ai server casalinghi¹ e detto al mio compagno che era lì, nel caso gli servisse una live di emergenza.
E poi gli ho chiesto se dovevo attaccarla ad un cordino con sgancio rapido, in modo da poterla strappare via in fretta in caso di emergenza.
E… adesso lo devo fare, vero?
¹ per cui è totalmente inutile, dato che l'architettura è diversa, ma era un posto comodo

@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua potrebbe essere il passo successivo :D
(però chiusure a sgancio rapido e cordini li ho già in casa, la teca no :) )

Tonight I dreamed that the rain and wind had thrown down a fence around our house, a couple of goats were ready to jump in and we were afraid for out tomatoes¹.
This morning I got on the fediverse and found a thread (in Italian) about heavy rains in the center of Italy and then this:
mastodon.social/@samuelpepys/1…
i.e. Samuel Pepys being kept up by the rain (and by the cat, who had jumped on the bed)
¹ the fence actually exists, but it's metal, not easily toppled wood, and there are no goats on the other side

@Madeleine Morris out of curiosity, if you want to answer: when you sew japanese garments are you using a western style position pushing the needle with the thimble on the middle finger, or the method I've learned from shashiko instructions with the thimble at the base of the middle finger?
(this question prompted by me thinking about the cording I've done by hand in the japanese style, and how fast it it)

Meanwhile, yesterday evening I died. Or rather, they let me die. And by “let” I mean “piled monsters on me until I died, and then looted my dead body”.
And then on the next turn, with the new cards I had just picked I won.
I am thankful to @Diego Roversi for getting the cat companion when looting, however. It was just a +2, but it was a cat, and I didn't want him to go into the discard pile!

rrdtool and Trixie
Posted on August 17, 2025
Tags: madeof:bits
TL;DL: if you’re using rrdtool on a 32 bit architecture like armhf make an XML dump of your RRD files just before upgrading to Debian Trixie.
I am an old person at heart, so the sensor data from my home monitoring system1 doesn’t go to one of those newfangled javascript-heavy data visualization platforms, but into good old RRD files, using rrdtool to generate various graphs.
This happens on the home server, which is an armhf single board computer2, hosting a few containers3.
So, yesterday I started upgrading one of the containers to Trixie, and luckily I started from the one with the RRD, because when I rebooted into the fresh system and checked the relevant service I found it stopped on ERROR: '<file>' is too small (should be <size> bytes)
.
Some searxing later, I’ve4 found this was caused by the 64-bit time_t transition, which changed the format of the files, and that (somewhat unexpectedly) there was no way to fix it on the machine itself.
What needed to be doneinstead was to export the data on an XML dump before the upgrade, and then import it back afterwards.
Easy enough, right? If you know about it, which is why I’m blogging this, so that other people will know in advance :)
Anyway, luckily I still had the other containers on bookworm, so I copied the files over there, did the upgrade, and my home monitoring system is happily running as before.
- of course one has a self-built home monitoring system, right?↩︎
- an A20-OLinuXino-MICRO, if anybody wants to know.↩︎
- mostly for ease of migrating things between different hardware, rather than insulation, since everything comes from Debian packages anyway.↩︎
- and by I I really mean Diego, as I was still into denial / distractions mode.↩︎

L’Italia è profondamente razzista, i rom sono meglio di voi: ma chi volete rieducare?
Caro Direttore, ho letto il suo editoriale sui bambini rom che hanno rubato una macchina e hanno investito e ucciso una signora. Ho sentito la sua sincera indignazione.Dijana Pavlovic (L'Unità)
I've just realized that on my first #DebConf, in 2015, some people was using their (thinkpad) laptops as a tray to carry their meals. on my second DebConf, 2025, I didn't see anybody doing that.
I'd say that laptop design has gone really wrong somewhere in the process.
(this may be a bit of a subtoot)

yesterday: watching a video sponsored by a reinforced-toe work boots company of some sort
this morning: a tool fell from the work table as we were cutting some wood, straight on @diego@social.gl-como.it slipper-clad foot
(it was a lightweight tool, nobody was hurt)

MOAR Pattern Weights
Posted on August 9, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms
I’ve collected some more Standard Compliantstickers.
Some went on my laptop, of course, but some were selected for another tool I use relatively often: more pattern weights like the ones I blogged about in February.
And of course the sources:
- the stickers I designed;
- instructions for making the pattern weights(includes a link to the 3d model);
- source for the cat sticker;
- I couldn’t find the sources for the blue mobian sticker, only for other variants.
I have enough washers to make two more weights, and even more stickers, but the printer is currently not in use, so I guess they will happen a few months or so in the future.
@Oblomov I'm not going to change laptop, this one is still pretty new (to me)!
other than that, probably make more pattern weights, as I can always print more? :D (I'd need to get a new box to keep them in, as the current one is full, too :D )
The laptop lid is covered by a vinyl sheet, so in theory I could remove it, put a new one on and start again, but I don't think I want to do anything like that (the vinyl sheet was put in place by the shop that I've bought the — reconditioned — laptop from)
Also, saving stickers for a future laptop is of course an option.

@Oblomov coincidentally, if anybody has an European source for fridge magnet bases in the shape of an hexagon 5.08 cm tall, I'd be happy to hear about it :D
(I think I can get sheet and cut them, but if pre-cut existed it would be easier)
