does anybody know whether getting hurt while doing a feudal corvee counts as work-related injury for insurance reasons?
asking for a friend who just hit the back of her ankle with a metal door just after feeding the Marquess (before breakfast, because of course you have to harvest your lord's field before your own).

per caso qualcuno sa se infortunarsi mentre si sta svolgendo una corvee feudale conta come infortunio sul lavoro e va denunciato all'INAIL?
chiedo per un'amica che si è tirata una porta di metallo sulla caviglia subito dopo aver dato da mangiare al Marchese (prima di colazione, perché ovviamente si deve fare il raccolto sui campi dei signore prima del tuo).

Have I just tried to tell the Marquess (a.k.a. #notOurCat) that we have just had solar panels installed, and as soon as they'll get actually connected I'll change the time when I wash my laundry, and thus the time when he sees me putting out the laundry to dry?
Did he understand one single word of what I was telling him? I only implied, but didn't say “and give you kibbles”.
"I find your lack of understanding that my kibbles are obviously NOT subject to puny human thingies like time... disturbing"
- his grace the Marquess

PDF Planners 2026
Posted on November 27, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms, madeof:bits, craft:bookbinding
A few years ago I wrote some planner generating code to make myself a custom planner; in November 2023 I generated a few, and posted them here on the blog, in case somebody was interested in using them.
In 2024 I tried to do the same, and ended up being even more late, to the point where I didn’t generate any (uooops).
I did, however, start to write a Makefile to automate the generation (and got stuck on the fact that there wasn’t an easy way to deduce the correct options needed from just the template name); this year, with the same promptness as in 2023 I got back to the Makefile and finished it, so maybe next year I will be able to post them early enough for people to print and bind them? maybe :)
Anyway, these are all of the variants I currently generate, for 2026.
The files with -book in the name have been imposed on A4 paper for a 16 pages signature. All of the fonts have been converted to paths, for ease of printing (yes, this means that customizing the font requires running the script, but the alternative also had its drawbacks).
In English:

Some of the planners include ephemerids and moon phase data: these have been calculated for the town of Como, and specifically forgeo:45.81478,9.07522?z=17, because that’s what everybody needs, right?
If you need the ephemerids for a different location and can’t run the script yourself (it depends on pdfjam, i.e. various GB of LaTeX, and a few python modules such as dateutil, pypdf and jinja2), feel free to ask: unless I receive too many requests to make this sustainable I’ll generate them and add them to this post.
I hereby release all the PDFs linked in this blog post under the CC0 license.
You may notice that I haven’t decided on a license for the code dump repository; again if you need it for something (that is compatible with its unsupported status) other than running it for personal use (for which afaik there is an implicit license) let me know and I’ll push “decide on a license” higher on the stack of things to do :D
Finishing the Makefile meant that I had to add a tiny feature to one of the scripts involved, which required me to add a dependency to pypdf: up to now I have been doing the page manipulations with pdfjam, which is pretty convenient to use, but also uses LaTeX, and apparently not every computer comes with texlive installed (shocking, I know).
If I’m not mistaken, pypdf can do all of the things I’m doing with pdfjam, so maybe for the next year I could convert my script to use that one instead.
But then the planners 2027 will be quick and easy, and I will be able to publish them promptly, right?

Historically Inaccurate Hemd
Posted on November 17, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms, craft:sewing
After cartridge pleating and honeycombing, I was still somewhat in the mood for that kind of fabric manipulation, and directing my internet searches in that vague direction, and I stumbled on this:katafalk.wordpress.com/2012/06…
Now, do I want to ever make myself a 16th century German costume, especially a kampfrau one? No! I’m from lake Como! Those are the enemies who come down the Alps pillaging and bringing the Black Death with them!
Although I have to admit that at times during my day job I have found the idea of leaving everything to go march with the Jägermonstersattractive. You know, the exciting prospective of long days of march spent knitting sturdy socks, punctuated by the excitement of settling down in camp and having a chance of doing lots of laundry. Or something. Sometimes being a programmer will make you think odd things.
Anyway, going back to the topic, no, I didn’t need an historically accurate hemd. But I did need a couple more shirts for daily wear, I did want to try my hand at smocking, and this looked nice, and I was intrigued by the way the shaping of the neck and shoulder worked, and wondered how comfortable it would be.
And so, it had to be done.
I didn’t have any suitable linen, but I did have quite a bit of cotton voile, and since I wasn’t aiming at historical accuracy it looked like a good option for something where a lot of fabric had to go in a small space.
At first I considered making it with a bit less fabric than the one in the blog, but then the voile was quite thin, so I kept the original measurement as is, only adapting the sleeve / sides seams to my size.
With the pieces being rectangles the width of the fabric, I was able to have at least one side of selvedge on all seams, and took advantage of it by finishing the seams by simply folding the allowances to one sides so that the selvedge was on top, and hemstitching them down as I would have done with a folded edge when felling.
Also, at first I wanted to make the smocking in white on white, but then I thought about a few hanks of electric blue floss I had in my stash, and decided to just go with it.
The initial seams were quickly made, then I started the smocking at the neck, and at that time the project went on hold while I got ready to go to DebConf. Then I came back and took some time to get back into a sewing mood, but finally the smocking on the next was finished, and I could go on with the main sewing, which, as I expected, went decently fast for a handsewing project.
While doing the diagonal smocking on the collar I counted the stitches to make each side the same length, which didn’t completely work because the gathers weren’t that regular to start with, and started each line from the two front opening going towards the center back, leaving a triangle with a different size right in the middle. I think overall it worked well enough.
Then there were a few more interruptions, but at last it was ready! just as the weather turned cold-ish and puffy shirts were no longer in season, but it will be there for me next spring.
I did manage to wear it a few times and I have to say that the neck shaping is quite comfortable indeed: it doesn’t pull in odd ways like the classical historically accurate pirate shirt sometimes does, and the heavy gathering at the neck makes it feel padded and soft.
I’m not as happy with the cuffs: the way I did them with just honeycombing means that they don’t need a closure, and after washing and a bit of steaming they lie nicely, but then they tend to relax in a wider shape. The next time I think I’ll leave a slit in the sleeves, possibly make a different type of smocking (depending on whether I have enough fabric) and then line them like the neck so that they are stable.
Because, yes, I think that there will be another time: I have a few more project before that, and I want to spend maybe another year working from my stash, but then I think I’ll buy some soft linen and make at least another one, maybe with white-on-white smocking so that it will be easier to match with different garments.

@Kermode no, I don't think that there is a club or something about historical clothing in this area (there are some reenactment things, but they are focusing mostly on other aspects), but I believe that a number of people here on fedi do know about historical accuracy
and I don't care about having it, since I'm basically making clothing for day-to-day wear, but I think it's important to say what is accurate and what is not, for people who are reading this and may have reason to care
(and yes, the shirt does need something around the waist, be it a belt or being tucked in in a skirt)
@Kermode yeah, lately we haven't been doing a lot of electronics: the soldering iron is always out for small repairs and stuff, but we haven't made anything *new*
raise TooManyThingsToDoError :D
TFW you are sewing a skirt, with various meters¹ of fabric on your legs, and need to check your notes², and you know that you've updated them somewhat on the laptop, but you're on the PC, so you git pull and. timeout.
the VPS³ where you have the git repository is down. and you could sync directly with the laptop, but you're here under various meters of fabric and the laptop is over there, turned off, on the other side of the room!
or you can complain on the internet until the VPS is back :D
(and find out that you didn't push your commit from the laptop)
¹ we don't do those “90 cm cut of fabric, good for a skirt here. it's ankle-length at the very least, and finished circumference at the hem above 3 m or GTFO
² what will become instructions on my website
³ contabo, if anybody is wondering
reshared this
@Possumantha the one I'm doing right now is going to be 375 cm (3 panels of 125 cm wide fabric)
with a cage crinoline I guess more than 4 meters would not surprise me (but I still don't have one)
@Possumantha error: length is not defined for a fractal :D
(seriously: even with regular gathered flounces I'm not sure what is the correct way to measure them as “hem of the skirt”: when hemming them the ungathered length is the one that matters, but when worn they act more like a skirt where the hem is as long as the *gathered* hem (or just a bit more), but with more thickness)

Lately I've been playing Brütal Legend, where there are red things hidden around the world that are useful when found.
Yesterday evening I was talking to @Diego Roversi when I spotted the red cap of a bottle of tick and mosquito repellent on top of a cupboard, and in mid conversation my brain went “red! mine!”
(to be fair, in the right season tick and mosquito repellent *is* useful and gives a stat bonus)

the only problem I have with it is that at times I got stuck not being able to do what I need to do (say, start a (side) quest) because I didn't want the current song to stop playing :D
