I'm using the solar oven for the first time this year, even if the temperature is still cold-ish (<15°C) and windy.
The oven has reached almost 70°C, even if the wind blew the cover and for a while the temperature fell down to 30°C or so. I hope that the jar is reaching even more.
I'm baking apples, so whatever happens they are likely to be good (and safe to eat).
And now I should leave the computer and start sewing the fabric + mylar cover I've been postponing sewing for… years, I suspect.

Too late, the sun is going down, the #solarOven is back to 50°C and the apples have already been moved to the haybox so that they remain warm until dinner.
But you can get a high quality picture of the haybox, taken with a pinephone, where you can also see a bit of the oven
(And yes, “haybox” means “random box from an online store, with shredded paper packaging material from another online store", and later I topped it up and wrapped the box in a blanket)

experiment of the day:
git.sr.ht/~fabrixxm/zint-vapi
Vala bindings for Zint barcode generator library , with a simple Gtk UI to generate barcodes

Sylke Vicious reshared this.
and also, can it get a Gtk.Image somehow? I was able to a) either save it to a file or retrieve an in-memory bitmap which could not be easily squeezed into a Gtk.Image.
Going to check it out.
You can load the bitmap into a Gdk.PixBuf, then you can do whatever.
git.sr.ht/~fabrixxm/zint-vapi/…
I wanted to have the bitmap field as uint8[], mostly because looks vala-y and because it's what is in Gdk.PixBuf.from_data()'s signature).
I found that it needs a length to works with Gdk.PixBuf.from_data(), so I added the get_bitmap() method to set the length.. It works but I don't know if it's the correct solution... there so much things I'm not sure about and docs are useful only up to a point...
(as a side node, the zint.h header I have on disk has a bitmap_byte_length field which would be so good to use as length value for bitmap (setting it directly in field's annotation in vapi) but looks like is not used and docs doesn't mention it.....)
TIL: shlex.split(None) hangs forever.
ok, it's not strictly true, it's trying to read from stdin, but since I didn't expect it to be splitting None, and it was deep in some async code…
Thankfully it has been deprecated and it will go away:

hot take: the somewhat glitchy notifications¹ on the pinephone aren't a bug, they are a feature.
They work this way to preserve your mental health by protecting you from constant notifications and the pressure to be always available for interruptions :D
¹ they tend not to work while the phone is suspended.

Testing of De Atramentis #inks continue.
I've finally finished the Pelikan 4001 in my preppy #fountainpen, and filled it¹ with the De Atramentis Document Black
On good paper the lines are slightly wider than the Pelikan 4001, but still reasonable, and it writes nicely (a bit scratchy when reverse writing, but I don't think I can expect anything else when reverse writing on a japanese EF :D )
Then I tried on a bit of the worst printer paper I had around, and I can say “it works”. I could see the line getting wider as I writed, but the result isn't bad.
I also needed a test of the red, so I used a dip pen (with a flexible nib)
and these are the backs of the samples above, with some ghosting, but bleedthrough is really happening only when I flexed the nib.
And now, I need to find the strength of mind to wait until I have finished at least a bottle or two of other inks before buying the whole De Atramentis Document series :D (also, nope, that's way too expensive to buy at one time :D )
¹ not a full converter load, because I don't use it enough

Isn't the salix from Rohrer and Klingner? I have their scabiosa (their purple-ish IG ink), but all IG inks aren't really waterproof as much as water resistant (i.e. what has been written will survive contact with water, but some dye can leak, and thus they can't be used e.g. with watercolours)
also, IG inks aren't completely lightfast, again a potential drawback when mixing them with watercolours — or when writing labels that are exposed to the light :D
Neither is a problem when writing letters or inside a notebook, of couse.

I've had a fix!
I've found the right incantation to enable the right agps on the #pinephone to get a fix in a reasonable amount of time (it was almost instantaneous, but the phone had been outside with gps but not agps-msb enabled for quite some time)
The script I've used to enable everything is:
#!/bin/sh
mmcli -m any --location-enable-3gpp
mmcli -m any --location-enable-gps-nmea
mmcli -m any --location-enable-agps-msb
mmcli -m any --location-status
mmcli -m any --location-get(of course the last two are just to see that everything is setup correctly).
Now, I need to find out why Maps believes that the location services are disabled, and Settings is telling me that they are enabled…

New upcoming feature in Confy:
talk progress indicator
every "talk row" widget will show talk progress as a vertical bar on left side
On room page the result is a nice continuous bar that gives the idea of the progress of the whole room :)
On talk detail page, the bar span the top border:
