Today I've been "nerd snipped" by a friend.
He had to write some excel formulas, and he was writing them in 'pseudocode' before putting the formula together, while commenting about "why I can't write formulas in a sane language".
So I've spent my evening (and part of my night) doing this:
Next step: a web page to run it in a browser :D

I've published a new pattern, for classic jeans.
sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/…
They are based on a menswear block, so for people who need more fullness in the front than in the back; one day I will also draft the same pattern based on a womanswear block, but right now I don't need jeans-like trousers in non-denim and I don't have a source for decent denim, so don't hold your breath for it :)

@Mre. Dartigen [maker mode] let me know how it works!
I'm not sure how easy valentina is to use (even if just to enter the measurements and print out an existing pattern), and I'm not proficient enough to write a guide myself :(
And if you have any doubts on the instructions part feel free to ask! That part I take full responsibility for :)

Things I've done lately:
- Dist-upgraded my VPS from Debian 10 to Debian 11
- Updated the ansible playbook which configure my VPS almost up to date with the real state of my VPS. Things have started to diverge many moons ago. Now is quite back on track to be able to run without any unwanted side effects
- Installed Dentrite matrix homeserver with a couple of bridges, using the aforementioned ansible playbook

Status update on the flannel shirt: all of the main pieces have been assembled, two buttonholes out of five have been done. I still have to fell the seams on the sleeves and the sides, and hemstitch the hems. And then I must not forget the reinforcement patches at the sides and sleeves. The one I've almost forgotten about about every time I think on what's still to do on the shirt :D
Being able to wear it this weekend is starting to sound feasible, unless something unexpected happens.

all 5 buttonholes done, all 6 buttons attached (there is an additional button in the center back of the collar for detached collars).
still missing: hemming and reinforcement patches.
chances of wearing it in the weekend: very high (but I hope I'm not jinxing it)
sewing group reshared this.
hem done!
And I've also added a button that was missing to the white linen shirt of the same pattern.
tomorrow I'll cut, press (that's going to be a hassle) and sew the reinforcement patches, and then it will be done!
And then on the pile I have the facing of the bathrobe and — cough — a couple of things that I really would love to have mended :D

reinforcement patches, done!
the shirt is complete!
I'll wear it (and take photos) in the weekend!

I have a problem: the tutorial¹ I'm following says to leave the thing in a warm place until it's dry enough that the cat will sleep on it, but I currently don't have a cat.

parte Mastodon).
Il piano è:
- 20:30 ritrovo alle 20:30 su meet.gl-como.it/GL-Como per
convenevoli e consueto cazzeggio
- 21:00 breve presentazione di cos'è il Fediverso
- 21:15 circa, scambio di esperienze, domande, risposte, consigli eccetera
eccetera.
Come l'altra volta, partecipando si autorizza la registrazione della
call, a partire dalle 21:00 e la sua eventuale pubblicazione.

#til that there is yet another #fabric-based thing that is called buckram and it has some similarities, but is definitely a different thing from the other two I knew.
A mesh material used to make fursuit eye pieces.
(The other two are the buckram used in hats and the one used to stiffen stays)
I was outside for a walk with @Diego Roversi , and asked him to come with me to a #fabric shop, so that I could buy exactly what I needed (to wrap christmas packages), with no time to look around at what they had and get ideas.
We did. I got what I needed. We payed.
And then just before leaving I noticed some nice woolens. And I may have taken a picture and sent it to my mother.
To be continued... :D
A proposito di caffé d'orzo, l'ho detto che i coperchi dei barattoli del caffé d'orzo funzionano come tavolozze su cui il colore si pela via per gli acrilici?

I still have to finish other handsewn things, but I have the cutting mat on the table, and I decided I might as well start cutting the #AugustaStays, and then maybe later in the weekend I can make the buckram.
Natural linen would have probably been better than white¹, but oh well, in 200 years they are going to be yellow too :D and they will be trimmed with powder blue cotton
¹ yes, it's white³, the blue tint is courtesy of the vintage effect² in the pinephone camera :D
² no, it can't be turned off :D
³ and now I must look for a UV light to find out whether it's merely bleached or it also has optical whiteners, but I don't know where it is

there is only one place our UV light usually ends up. Children room 2 😜
(also I miss sewing but what can one do. Too many hobbies 🤷 )
@Beko Pharm we don't have children, but the engineer knew where it was.
that counts as almost a children, right? :D
(and btw, the answer is yes, it has optical whiteners)

Third layer cut!
I was tempted to only use two layers for the straps, since this time they wouldn't fit under piece A, but then I tried to squeeze it somewhere else and… WIN.

Beside the nightgown, the sewing plan for this week involved making a second bathrobe like the one I made a few weeks ago (in the picture, this one is a darker gray) so that a) I now have a SPARE! (rather than just one disintegrating bathrobe :D ) b) the bulky fabric isn't taking up space in the stash anymore c) I've taken improved step-by-step pictures to publish the pattern.
Today I've done all of the machine sewing, I only have to hemstitch all of the binding by hand (because I'm a masochist).
And this makes it three garments for which I have written instructions, taken pictures, and “only” need to edit those pictures and add them to instructions to be able to publish the pattern.

@Teffer and people who has made 18th century #stays : I'm reading the instructions for the #AugustaStays and they say to layer the fabric, starting from the outside, as outer layer, heavyweight linen interlining, buckram, so that buckram is towards the body, with just the optional lining separating it from the shift.
Do you have any idea why it isn't layered as outer layer, buckram, heavyweight lining?

TFW you realize you've been cleaning and oiling a domestic power tool while it was on, because the sun was shining on the lamp and you couldn't see it was on.
luckily, my foot was quite far from the pedal, so the actual risk was minimal.
@Gustavino Bevilacqua with the woodworking power tools? of course I would always do that!
the sewing machine? it has a plug? I thought it was directly connected to the mains :D
(I know)
One thing that I've seen mentioned less than other #fediTips these days is that in the fediverse culture the number of followers isn't considered important, having *mutuals* is.
Some instances even hide the number of followers and people followed, and users can do so for their own account.
Even when it's visible, having a huge number of followers and following very few people is looked at as a oddity, and a sign of somebody who's probably not interested in interacting with people, and thus is not really part of the fediverse culture.
The converse is also true: users with almost no followers who follow a lot of people (unless they are really new) give a bad “bot” vibe, and people in the fediverse tend to be wary of them.
Having a reasonable number of both followers and people followed is seen as ideal.
This doesn't mean that you have to follow everybody who follows you! curating the list of people you follow is an important part of the fediverse experience, and you should only follow people whose posts are of interest to you and will make your life better. However I'd recommend giving at least a chance to everybody who follows you, looking at their profile and posts and consider whether you want to follow them.
And then, remember that unfollowing people is perfectly acceptable and requires no explanation: following somebody is not a long term commitment and consent can be given and taken away at any time.

I was shocked and offended by the fact that neither units nor qalc (the command line programs) know about the talent unit of weight.
except I was wrong, units *does* know about the talent, but only the Attic and the Aeginetan ones.
It's still missing the Babylonian one, which is the one I was looking for, but nevermind.
(also: 90 kg for an axe? 60 kg for the blade of a dagger? 300 kg carried by one person? I can see how one needs to be two thirds god to use this kind of equipment :D )

Serata del 17 ottobre: self-hosting git
Come ogni giovedì di recente, anche il 17 novembre ci troveremo online
per la consueta chiaccherata serale: questa volta però abbiamo un tema:
il self-hosting git, ovvero come non dipendere da github, gitlab e altri
big per pubblicare il proprio codice.
Il piano della serata è ritrovo alle 20:30 su
meet.gl-como.it/GL-Como , convenevoli e breve cazzeggio e alle
21:00 precise precise si entra nel vivo e ci si scambiano esperienze e
consigli riguardo all'argomento della serata.
Non è detto che se ne faccia niente, ma partecipando si autorizza la
registrazione della call e la sua eventuale pubblicazione nel caso in
cui esca qualcosa di potenzialmente interessante anche per altri.
(ovviamente la parte cazzeggio prima delle 21 è esclusa dalla

elastane. aka the Bane of Humanity.
Mind you, I admit that elastane in knits is pretty useful, and it helps them do what it's in the nature of knits to do.
But wovens. wovens are supposed to be dimensionally stable, not elastic!
And who in their right mind has *ever* thought “this silk satin would be better if it had a bit of elastane in it”???
(I only had to cut a square, and I had to measure it something like 12 times)
Maybe you can make the same for elastane.
the problem isn't that it shrinks or expands in a consistent way. the problem is that, being silk satin, it shifted and moved as if possessed. and when I tried to pull on it gently to try and get a straigth line, the elastane would stretch, and then shift even more when I released it.
And it's not like it's doing anything useful.

Prendete il pane raffermo di una settimana, fatto avanzare apposta. è misto, contiene pane bianco, semintegrale, ma anche pane con farina di mais, perché THIS IS INSUBRIA.
tagliatelo a pezzi, e seguite la vostra ricetta preferita della pappa al pomodoro, in quantità superiori al fabbisogno. Col pane con farina di mais dentro, perché THIS IS INSUBRIA.
Poi a cena prendete la pappa al pomodoro avanzata dal pranzo, metteteci dentro della trita di pollo, fatene delle polpette e cuocetele in padella, riciclando il piatto che è stato inventato per riciclare :D
E poi al pranzo dopo ci son le polpette avanzate dalla cena da scaldare al volo in forno :D

Problems, problems, self-induced #sewingPersonProblems.
I've done the last machine seam on the flannel shirt¹, but I want to use the same blue thread to sew a pair of linen trousers for my SO. He's not going to wear them for a few months, of course, but I want to see if the pattern is correct, so they are high priority.
However, my mother has just finished a filet crochet yoke for a nightgown that I'm going to make in linen for myself. Again, not something that is going to be worn any time soon², but it's a quick sew and it will allow me to know how much leftover linen I have for another project. But it needs a different colour of thread in the machine.
The sensible thing would be to sew the trousers during the next week, and then sew the nightgown. Luckily it's also the lazy thing, so that's probably what I'm going to do.
Can you guess how much I'd want to change plans and start with the nightgown? :D
(there will be pictures of everything mentioned. one day. :D )
¹ lots of handsewing remains, but that takes a different time slot.
² unless I decide to wear it as a chemise, but even then in winter I don't really need a linen one.

On a more serious note: I still have to edit a few step-by-step pictures and write an introduction, and then the pattern for those jeans will be ready for publishing.
And I've also started to cut the fabric for the nightgown, AND wrote the instructions I plan to follow while sewing it, so that I can take pictures and then publish also that pattern.
The yoke part will have a lot of “and then magic happens” however, as I have no idea how to write a crochet pattern.

And most of today's sewing time was spent on the phone with family :(
I hope I'll be able to finish the nightgown tomorrow.

The nightgown is also finished, except for taking pictures of the last step and finished object, as the light had gone as I was sewing.
Which means that there will be no publishing of the pattern today, either.

@wynke my problem here is also that the one who did the magic is my mother, not me :D
Luckily it's filet crochet, which should be pretty easy to reverse engineer.

Now that the corset top is done, I've resumed working on the flannel shirt, as I'm probably going to need it quite soon, weatherwise.
Yesterday evening I had planned to flat fell the sleeve seams, instead I've finished hemstitching the collar to the wrong side, and attached the back to the yoke.
Today I want to do the side seams by machine, as that's the last machine seam, and everything else will be done by hand.
The pattern is sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/… , with a flat front instead of the pleats.
sewing group reshared this.
The stays-inspired corset top is done!
It's made from an old pair of jeans, spray painted with sparkling blue fabric paint and bound with black bias tape.
I've used some paracord for lacing, but I think it isn't sparkly enough, and will probably look for something else in the stash.
Worn over a skirt and petticoat the tabs do something funny, but that was just to be decent while taking the pictures, if worn *below* the skirt they should do their jobs.
Of course it is quite wrinkly, since it's unboned (there are just zip ties on both sides of the eyelets), but I'd say it works quite well a) as a costumey fun thing done with things I already had home b) as a general idea that I've cut the right size of the pattern and can proceed with cutting the real thing (and then properly fit them according to the instructions).

reshared this
Now I have a question for people who wears stays: how do you put them on? For these I've made them fully front lacing, and it's easy to just lace them after they are on the body, but the real thing is supposed to lace only on the back: should I train myself to pass a cord through the eyelets in my back?
The lace is supposed to be only as long as needed when the stays are fully closed, right? there is no additional length that can be used to put the stays on and then only need to tighten them, right?
Or am I doing it completely wrong?
reshared this
I don't have a back lacing set (yet) but my cord is much longer than the required length when closed. I always lace them up loose and then tighten.
The extra length just gets tucked inside anyway.

If I suspect that there is a bug (that involves randomness) in an important package in Debian, the right thing to do is to keep testing and investigating until I can be sure that the bug exists, right?
Even if the investigation involves playing a number of widelands games until I'm really sure, right? :D

sadly, I did the sensible thing, started a few games in a row with no fog without playing them and found that no, there is no such bug.
I need another excuse, such as “I need to enlarge the borders of the Empire“ :D
Don't forget games like NetHack are sensible to moon phases, Friday 13th and so on, so it could become a hard debugging!

Se veramente trovi lavoro a Lugano a) assicurati che ci si possa arrivare con il treno b) cercati casa (suppongo in Italia?) vicino a una delle stazioni servite dai TiLo.
Ho dato alla causa “passare da Bizzarrone” per un po' di mesi (prima di avere modo di semitrasferirmi in un posto da cui potessi prendere dei mezzi) e nonostante avessi un lavoro da informatico con gli orari sfasati rispetto alla gente normale è stata una sofferenza. la coda è in salita. in entrambe le direzioni!
