Since a few weeks, my #debian #bookworm system was no longer able to build the initrd.img for new kernels. This morning it couldn't boot at all with a recent kernel (it did with an older one), so I found the time to look into it: it seems that the problem could have been related to the fact that my system still had split /usr; I've installed the #usrmerge package and now the initrd.img has been built.

I've just realized that watercolours with a water brush are the artsy-painty thing that uses less water among all of the ones that I have around the house.
With just a few squeezes and passes on a wiping cloth for washing the brushes, and no other tool that requires washing, it's pretty hard to beat them.
Given the name, that's somewhat counterintuitive, however :)
(yes, I could be using pencils, pastels, pens and a lot of other things that don't require washing at all)

Please don't take this as a critique of the pattern or its authors: it looks pretty well made, and historical clothing is not their job or interest, and that's perfectly fine.

TIL what happens when you freeze a banana.
Recipe:
Around 17 on the day before discover that you're out of lemons, peel a just barely ripe banana anyway, cut it into round slices, put it into a small box with a tight fitting lid, leave it in the freezer overnight.
Around 9 in the morning get the box with the banana from the fridge, put it into the bento box with the rest of the meal, put everything in a thermal bag with two small reusable ice blocks and a bottle of water that had remained in the fridge overnight.
Drive 1.5 - 2 hours in ~30°C (no AC), leave in the trunk of the car while doing $THINGS; at 12:30 - 13:00 get the bento box, eat the lunch, eat the banana.
It was *sweet*. It was very soft, it could be picked up with a fork, but just barely, and it was extremely sweet. it had also leaked a sweet syrupy liquid that was also quite sweet.
Have I mentioned sweet?
It wasn't too sweet, however, as long as one has a bit of a sweet tooth it was quite pleasing.

Interesting.
Another thing you can do with a frozen banana (a more ripe one) is, freeze the (peeled) banana with a skewer in the end. Take it out and dip in molten chocolate, and return to the freezer until set.
You now have a cold ice-cream substitute with a crunchy chocolate shell :)
(optional, roll the freshly dipped banana in finely chopped nuts before re-freezing)

Dear #crochet and #generalNerdery people: let assume that somebody (asking for a friend!) was planning a band of filet crochet that is 5 squares wide (plus two of border) and was tempted by the idea of using Baudot Code to make it spell some text.
Should it have the columns in order 1 2 3 4 5 as they seem to be depicted on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bau… or should it be 5 4 1 2 3 as in the position of the keys?

Filed under: I don't really need another #craft project, right?
I've received a piece of vintage lace, of a type that would work nicely on a petticoat ruffle.
While handsewing the linen shirt I'm working on, I've also started to think that the same fabric would also be nice for a petticoat or a petticoat+corset cover combination (and I have enough for it).
But such a garment doesn't call for just a bit of lace at the hem, it calls for some lace on the ruffles, some insertion (and pintucks, dere vill be pintucks), and while of course I have a box of lace of various kinds, I don't have enough for that project.
However, the more I think about it, rather than wanting to look for enough matching lace in the stores, I'm tending towards going for a mix-and-match of looks, joined together by a theme of having some history.
So I'm using some lace that I've been given by different people, and then I want to puppy-eye my mother into doing some crochet lace for me, but then I thought that maybe I should also do some myself.
And thus, yesterday I asked my mother to teach me filet #crochet, I did the bigger square-ish under her guide, and then I've started a sampler band, starting with the simplest pattern to get myself to learn the right tension, and then trying various patterns as I go, until I finish the leftover of crochet lace appropriate yarn I've found in her stash.
I don't have any source on historical people doing something like this, but it's underwear, the silhouette will be correct, and nobody needs to know how it looks (other than the people who will see the pictures here on the fediverse :D )
ETA for the project: maybe a couple of years? Don't hold your collective breaths :D

One thing that bothers me while #sewing is trimming the sewing allowances: I understand that having wider allowances makes it easier to sew by machine, but all those strips of fabric waste hurt my feeling even if they end up as stuffing and not in a dump.
So, what I tend to do when sewing french seams is not to sew with half the seam allowance, but sew the first seam at a bit less than that and the second seam at a bit more.
And for flat-felled seams, I tend to cut the fabric with double allowance on just one side, and align the other side at one allowance of distance, as in the picture.
It doesn't really change anything, it's not like I can fit more pieces in the same fabric by saving that 6 mm strip, but it helps my OCD :D
I believe it was the norm in old sewing manuals, but I can't be bothered to look for the source right now, sorry

I took a picture of the test I did with the posca pen, ironed, and then thrown in the washing machine:
The blob on top is where I refreshed the paint on the pen, and I forgot to take a picture before washing it, but I believe it didn't wash away.
It's not great for fabric because it definitely has some rigidity that fabric paint avoids, but I think I can confirm it works.

The apron also has a waist belt, the pins only get the load of the bib, not the full strap and most importantly not of whatever ends up in the pocket.
The shirt I was wearing is a relatively flimsy one in cheap cotton voile that I made myself, so it's probably still sturdier than an average fast-fashion shirt? :( also it's in woven fabric and not knit, which helps.

Dear miss manners,

How long would it be suitable for me, not related to the company in any way, to wear them? Should I respect a formal mourning period before I use the loot I got from the dead body?

I've just finished #sewing a quick pair of shorts to wear under summer skirts and
a) the sky has just darkened
b) I've realized that I should have taken pictures and published the pattern as #freeSoftWear
oh, well, if they fit well I'm going to make another pair in the same fabric, except *gasp* not-black, and they should be easier to photograph.
also, if they really work as an encouragement for rain, I'm up for making even more pairs :D

And we had an hour or so of sun! So I dressed up and I'm ready for some serious percussive debugging on the analytical engine!
I have been vaguely thinking about making myself a black apron for potentially staining office jobs (*cough* ink), and on friday evening I stumbled on the instructions from Home dressmaking; a complete guide to household sewing by Myers, Annie E and decided it had to be done NOW.
The pattern was adapted quite a bit from the original to best use wide modern fabric, so it's not an accurate reproduction.
Source code for both the apron and the sleeve protectors will be published as soon as I finish writing them and editing the step-by-step pictures.

ecco... uno sproposito
ho comprato i materiali quando ho fatto il mio, e tra una cosa e quell'altra credo di averci speso più di 200 euro. però buona parte era perché c'erano dei pezzi minimi di acquisto, e da quella cifra sono usciti i due zaini, e ho ancora quasi tutto il materiale (extra ci sarebbero da prendere webbing, cerniera e accessori) per farne potenzialmente un terzo, e di alcuni materiali (soprattutto 3d mesh e imbottitura) anche di più (in realtà il piano non è di farne un terzo uguale, che non mi servirebbe, ma accessori vari).
azz, praticamente 2 zaini + zainetto/sling/altro a poco meno del prezzo di uno
Allora ci credo quando il ragazzo di atdsupply.com dice che non poteva allinearsi ai prezzi esteri perché faceva tutto in Italia
ATD Supply - Made in Italy carry goods
ATD Supply - Made in Italy, high quality bags, backpacks, accessories and travel gearATD Supply
Beh, c'è da dire che un conto è comprare i materiali per un solo zaino (o 3) nel negozio sotto casa (ok, negozio che si trova in Germania, ma il principio è quello :) ), un conto è comprarli a pezze intere per la produzione di massa.
Non credo che per averli di qualità possano comunque materiali economici, ma sospetto che li paghino molto meno.
D'altra parte, loro devono anche pagare il tempo di chi li cuce (che spero sia decisamente più veloce di me, che ho impiegato una giornata solo per la penultima cucitura :D ), che invece nel mio caso conta come divertimento e si scala dal prezzo dei materiali :) .
