Pietro Conti, nel 1896 ha scritto:
“Onore di pianto avrete ed il vostro nome durerà finché i sacrosanti ideali di libertà ed indipendenza batteranno nei petti umani e finché si giudicherà sommo sacrificio versare il sangue per la patria.”
ecco, mi spiace dirtelo, perché ammetto che l'entusiasmo che traspira dal capitolo un po' è contagioso, ma temo che quel “finché” non sia durato molti altri decenni, e per ottime ragioni.

How I Keep my Life in Git
Posted on September 12, 2023
git secret_cabal greetAfter watching My life in git, after subversion, after CVS. from DebConf, I’ve realized it’s been a while since I talked about the way I keep everything1 I do in git, and I don’t think I’ve ever done it online, so it looked like a good time for a blog post.
Beyond git itself (of course), I use a few git-related programs:
- myrepos (also known as
mr) to manage multiple git repositories with one command; - vcsh to make it easy to keep dot-files under git;
- git annex to store media files (anything that is big and will not change);
- etckeeper to keep an history of the
/etcdirectory; - gitolite and cgit to host my git repositories;
and some programs that don’t use git directly, but easily interact with it:
- ansible to keep track of the system configuration of all machines;
- lesana as a project tracker and journal and to inventory the things made of atoms that are hard 2 to store in git.
All of these programs are installed from Debian packages, on stable (plus rarely backports) or testing, depending on the machine.
I’m also grateful to the vcs-home people, who wrote most of the tools I use, and sometimes hang around their IRC channel.
And now, on to what I’m actually doing.
With the git repositories I’ve decided to err for too much granularity rather than too little3, so of course each project has its own repository, and so do different kinds of media files, dot-files that are related to different programs etc.
Most of the repositories are hosted on two gitolite servers: one runs on the home server, for stuff that should remain private, and the other one is on my VPS for things that are public (or may become public in the future), and also has a web interface with cgit. Of course things where I’m collaborating with other people are sometimes hosted elsewhere, mostly on salsa, sourcehut or on $DAYJOB related gitlab instances.
The .mr directory is where everything is managed: I don’t have a single .mrconfig file but a few different ones, that in turn load all files in a directory with the same name:
collections.mrfor the media file annexes and inventories (split into different files, so that computers with little disk space can only get the inventories);private.mrfor stuff that should only go on my own personal machine, not on shared ones;projects.mrfor the actual projects, with different files for the kinds of projects (software, docs, packaging, crafts, etc.);setup.mrwith all of the vcsh repositories, including the one that tracks the mr files (I’ll talk about the circular dependency later);work.mrfor repositories that are related to $DAYJOB.
Then there are the files in the .mr/machines directory, each one of which has the list of repositories that should be on every specific machine, including a generic workstation, but also specific machines such as e.g. the media center which has a custom set of repositories.
The dot files from my home directory are kept in vcsh, so that it’s easy to split them out into different repositories, and I’m mostly used the simplest configuration described in the 30 Second How-to in its homepage; vcsh gives some commands to work on all vcsh repositories at the same time, but most of the time I work on a single repository, and use mr to act on more than one repo.
The media collections are also pretty straightforward git-annex repositories, one for each kind of media (music, movies and other videos, e-books, pictures, etc.) and I don’t use any auto-syncing features but simply copy and move files around between clones with the git annex copy, git annex move and git annex get commands.
There isn’t much to say about the project repositories (plain git), and I think that the way I use my own program lesana for inventories and project tracking is worth an article of its own, here I’ll just say that the file format used has been designed (of course) to work nicely with git.
On every machine I install etckeeper so that there is a history of the changes in the /etc directory, but that’s only a local repository, not stored anywhere else, and is used mostly in case something breaks with an update or in similar situation. The authoritative source for the configuration of each machine is an ansible playbook (of course saved in git) which can be used to fully reconfigure the machine from a bare Debian installation.
When such a reconfiguration from scratch happens, it will be in two stages: first a run of ansible does the system-wide configuration (including installing packages, creating users etc.), and then I login on the machine and run mr to set up my own home. Of course there is a chicken-and-egg problem in that I need the mr configuration to know where to get the mr configuration, and that is solved by having setup two vcsh repositories from an old tarball export: the one with the ssh configuration to access the repositories and the one with the mr files.
So, after a machine has been configured with ansible what I’ll actually do is to login, use vcsh pull to update those two repositories and then run mr to checkout everything else.
And that’s it, if you have questions on something feel free to ask me on the fediverse or via email (contacts are in the about page)
Update (2023-09-12 17:00ish): The ~/.mr directory is not special for mr, it’s just what I use and then I always run mr -c ~/.mr/some/suitable/file.mr, with the actual file being different whether I’m registering a new repo or checking out / updating them. I could include some appropriate ~/.mr/machines/some_machine.mr in ~/.mrconfig, but I’ve never bothered to do so, since it wouldn’t cover all usecases anyway. Thanks to the person on #vcs-home@OFTC who asked me the question :)
- At least, everything that I made that is made of bits, and a diary and/or inventory of the things made of atoms.↩︎
- until we get a working replicator, I guess :D↩︎
- in time I’ve consolidated a bit some of the repositories, e.g. merging the repositories for music from different sources (CD rips, legal downloads, etc.) into a single repository, but that only happened a few times, and usually I’m fine with the excess of granularity.↩︎

Banners and Signs
Posted on September 8, 2023
I forgot to write down the details back when it happened, but now that the surprise has been delivered I can write about it.
Some time ago, I decided to make a small banner with the GL-Como penguin for a friend, because reasons.
However, this friend has a big problem, he, well, is from Pisa (no, I’m not from Leghorn, why do you ask?), and I had a screen printing kit, openclipart and no inhibitions.
So, with the encouragement of a few friends who were in the secret, this happened. In two copies, because the first attempt at the print had issues.
And yesterday we finally met that friend again, gave him all of the banners, and no violence happened, but he liked them :D
If somebody is interested, the source image I used is on openclipart, with links to all of the sources I’ve used.
I don’t remember exactly how it happened, but when I was working on the Pisani sign I also stumbled on the “no dogs” sign and decided that the world needed a “mandatory cat” sign, and well, here is the full set (all images are a link to the openclipart page).
The current storybundle includes a few complete trilogies, rather than the usual book 1 (and then you're on your own getting the rest), as long as you pay at least the bonus level, and I'd strongly recommend Machineries of Empires to anybody who loves space opera and/or excellent worldbuilding.
(I'm not involved in any of this, I've just loved reading it)

@Rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua Però è anche vero che oggi come oggi non è così difficile costruire treni che accettano più tensioni (che io sappia molto più semplice di quanto non fosse una volta).
E se non altro, sui confini italiani mi risulta che lo scartamento sia sempre lo stesso (contrariamente alla Spagna che ha uno scartamento diverso dalla Francia (e dal resto d'Europa))

TFW you announce “and now I'm driving on a straight and wide road” and 10 seconds later you turn an almost-blind curve and see two big buses overtaking a bike and end up brushing the bushes at the edge of the road with the left rear view mirror to avoid hitting the second bus with the right mirror.
(No significant damage was done to the mirror nor to the bush, it was just a light touch, like a cat using her whiskers to check that she could pass in a narrow opening :D )
TFW annunci “e adesso sto guidando su una strada larga e dritta” e 10 secondi dopo esci da una curva quasi cieca e vedi due pulman che stanno sorpassando una bicicletta e finisci a sfiorare la siepe a bordo strada con lo specchietto di sinistra per evitare di toccare il secondo pulman con lo specchietto di estra.
(Nessuno si è fatto male, né lo specchietto né il cespuglio, è stata una cosa tipo gatto che usa le vibrisse per controllare se ci passa da un pertugio :D )
Rapita dagli alieni reshared this.
@David de Groot it wasn't that bad: when I got out of the curve there was plenty of space for the first bus to finish overtaking, and thus plenty of space for me to react to the second bus who did the same when there *wasn't* plenty of space (because of course it would do that, they were probably traveling together, and my expectations were safely low :D ).
It was just proof that, while definitely *wider* and *straighter* than the road I had been driving just before, well, calling it *wide* and *straight* was still a bit of a stretch :D

“Quasi a contrasto dell'allegro e spaziante suolo intelvese, da Lanzo discendi nell'orrida *Valmara*. Da quel fondo tetro e lugubre lo spirito rifugge, oppresso e sgomento; lo sguardo incarcerato appena scorge una striscia sottile di cielo, che si allarga alle estremità, frastagliata tra le cornose vette dei due nuclei montuosi, che quasi si accavallano, si confondono e l'eco in quell'angusto tragitto, più che mai sonoro, dal basso all'alto ripercuote tra il fragore dell'acque cascanti, il fischio del pastore, che richiama alla stalla le capre pascentesi tra le erbose sinuosità di quelle eterne rupi. Tuttavia il pensiero anche da quell'orrido aspetto in quell'imo profondo riscontra eloquente il bello, il sublime della natura ed il sentimentalismo , anche il meno fervido, trova ad esuberanza materia, princip ̛i. concetti, idee con cui filosofare, fantasticare, vagare, approfondirsi, innalzarsi, inebriarsi.”

TFW you go looking for an old linocut plate to make a test print, and it's. the. first. one. you. check.
win!
anyway, doing a couple of prints with acrylic paint and a spray bottle of water instead of proper linocut ink works, cleaning up is a bit of a pain. I would never do tens of prints with it (but then I'm not doing them anyway).
Retarder medium would probably help, but I don't have it. But maybe for those few times when I want to use metallic or other special effect paint it's more sensible to buy that, and use the acrylics I already have, rather than buying more types of linocut ink.

Periodic reminder that if you're working with woven, non-elastic fabric, there aren't many reasons¹ not to use cotton thread to sew it: it will work, it won't break and it won't rot² unless it's really bad quality thread. The time between everybody using linen thread (for linen and cotton) and when plastic thread was available wasn't that long, compared to the history of clothing, but it was still many decades, and at a time when clothing was still an expensive thing that needed to last.
¹ and other than variations “I have a TON of plastic thread and don't want to buy more” I can't think any that doesn't involve another natural fiber such as linen or silk thread.
² in your wardrobe, things may be different if you bury it in soil :)

The hooks and eyes on the linen jacket I did last year aren't working. I think I know why, and the next time I'll do something similar I'll add some boning where the hooks and eyes are supposed to be, but doing it on this jacket would be too much pain.
So, buttons and buttonholes it is.
And in the last couple weeks I've made 32 fabric covered buttons (with a metal washer, not with a kit), marked with thread the position of 31 buttonholes, made 16 buttonholes (15 remaining, plus attaching all of the buttons).
And the time of the year when a linen jacket is useful is approaching fast (or at least, I hope it is. #teamWinter).
Will I finish the jacket before the weather cools down a bit? Will we have a week of cool weather while the jacket is still not done, followed by a month-long return of summer?
rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua reshared this.
update: only four buttonholes remaining!
And I've even taken a picture, but it's still in the camera.
Most buttons haven't been attached, however, but I guess there will be more time for those after I've finished the buttonholes.
Or maybe I could stop working on it, and hope that the weather will cool down out of spite.
aggiornamento: mancano solo quattro occhielli!
E ho persino scattato una foto, ma è ancora nella macchina fotografica.
La maggior parte dei bottoni è ancora da attaccare, ma immagino che avrò più tempo per farlo una volta finiti gli occhielli.
O magari potrei smettere di lavorarci, e sperare che il meteo rinfreschi per cattiveria.
La foto
E quello spazio vicino alla tasca? è più grande degli altri, ma troppo piccolo perché ci stia un'altro occhiello, e non ho segnato un'occhiello lì in mezzo.
E quindi ci sono 30 occhielli, non 31.
E chissene. Funziona ugualmente. E di sicuro non sentirò la mancanza di un bottone da allacciare tutte le volte che indosso la giacca.
Comunque, al momento tutti gli occhielli sono fatti, mancano da attaccare buona parte dei bottoni.
The picture
And you see that space close to the pocket? it's a bit bigger than the regular spacing, but smaller than a space that would fit another buttonhole, and I didn't actually mark a buttonhole in it.
And now the front only has 30 buttons, not 31.
Whatever. It will work anyway. And it's not like I'm going to miss closing another button when I wear this jacket :D
Anyway, all of the buttonholes are done, now I have to attach the buttons.

The casting of Padan Fain. He's (going to be) basically the most evil thing born this side of the Breaking of the World, and they consider it fine to cast the actor with the darkest skin for the role?
Did they even bother reading even to the end of the first book (if I remember it correctly, or maybe it's the beginning of the second) before doing the casting?
Or are they going to skip a major episode, drastically change the character and the series should basically be considered a completely different thing from the books? (this would be the least bad option, I guess. The books *do* have a number of problems.)

@SonjaSelena the only problem here would be that I don't have a wicker basket, I don't have access to china cups that aren't also the Irreplaceable Set Inherited From Grandmother¹ and thus aren't suitable for a trip that involves unpaved roads (yes, this detail was missing), I only have teapots that are too big and access to a vintage travel stove that is a bit too small.
I may try to get ready for this for the next time :D
(this time the boring practical solution that involves reusable, sturdy plastic glasses and an immersion heater will have to do)
¹ technically inherited from mother? since they still are at my mother's house, and she inherited from her mother. whatever :)

Origami Document Folder
Posted on August 1, 2023
A long time ago, around the turn of the century, I was looking at some Useful Origami website and found a pattern for a document folder with a lot of pockets.
And by a lot of pockets I really mean a lot! I immediately had to fold one, and then another one, and then a few others, both in a size suitable for business cards and as a folder for A4 sheets of paper.
And then, a few years ago I needed a new document folder, and looked for these instructions, and couldn’t find them anywhere. Luckily I still had some of the folders I had made, and the model was simple enough that I could unfold those and reconstruct the instructions.
I tried to show them around to see if anybody knew where it came from, but had no results.
Now that I’ve prepared a new website for patterns for non-fiber crafts (and that I needed a new folder :D ) I’ve decided to post those instructions on it, so that they will have a stable place to live on.
And now that the #origami crowd on the fediverse has grown, maybe somebody will stumble on them and will remember where they come from: if you do, please let me know, with a comment if you’re reading this on the fediverse, or through one of my contacts if you’re reading the blog directly.
