The right button on my mouse had stopped working (yesterday afternoon)
So this morning I opened the mouse, cleaned the dead bodies around the wheel, cleaned everything else a bit, tried the button on the PCB, it worked, closed the mouse again, it did not work
I opened the mouse again, asked @Diego Roversi to look at it, he did, he tried the button on the PCB, it did not work, he looked at it with a bit more intent¹, tried it again, it worked, I closed the mouse and it's now working.
Now, I'm happy about the mouse working again, but.

I've started a new #sewing project and it's sewn by machine!
which means that I've spent the afternoon handsewing buttonholes, because of course buttonholes are sewn by hand :D
it's my take on the corset cover from archive.org/details/americansy… , for which I've seen other blog posts that gave completely different results, so I wanted to make another one for myself to post my method.

Ho iniziato un nuovo progetto di #cucito, ed è cucito a macchina!
E quindi ho passato il pomeriggio a cucire occhielli a mano, perché ovviamente gli occhielli si fanno a mano :D

also, the hems I've done this morning would have been much neater if done by hand.
but also, this is technically underwear, and from a 1909 book, quite into sewing machine age, and I'm doing this to write instructions and I want to write instructions for doing this on the sewing machine.
hemming foot it is.
e gli orli che ho cucito stamattina sarebbero venuti molto meglio fatti a mano.
ma anche, questa è tecnicamente biancheria, e arriva da un libro del 1909, ampiamente nell'era delle macchine da cucire, e lo sto facendo per scrivere istruzioni e voglio scrivere istruzioni per farlo a macchina.

and surely sewing by machine is fast. the only thing left is to attach the sleeves, and then I only have some finishing to do by hand (such as buttons and buttonholes).
e certo che cucire a macchina è veloce: l'unica cosa che manca è inserire le maniche, e poi mi mancano solo un po' di rifiniture da fare a mano (tipo bottoni e occhielli).

Cockades!

Earlier this year, I made myself a new hat (it will be blogged), and I wanted to put a nice cockade on it. So, I looked for suitable ribbons, and couldn’t find any. I found some ribbon that looked passable, but the colours I wanted weren’t available, so I set up the website to notify me, and kept working on the hat.
Eventually the hat was done, the ribbon was still not available, so I decorated the hat with fake flowers from my stash, and started wearing it.
And that’s when I got notified that the ribbon was back in stock.
By the time the ribbon arrived, I had decided that the hat looked better with the flowers, and project cockade was put on hold, possibly for a future hat.
And then June came, and what could be a better time than that for a project based on flag colours?
As I feared, the ribbon I got wasn’t the best: it was a bit too stiff and plasticy, and not really usable for many other things. It did however work well enough for a cockade, and I decided it was a good chance to try different methods and designs, and then make another one to take pictures and publish step-by-step instructions.
And that’s the perfect recipe to find oneself surrounded by a somewhat unreasonable number of very similar cockades, I guess.
I looked around for instructions, and the ones that gave a result that was closer to my mental idea of a cockade were the ones by American Duchess, so on my first attempt I tried to follow those.
I didn’t have a cork board with a hole, so it was a bit fiddly, and the result was passable, but could have been better. Meanwhile I saw a forum post commenting on the above tutorialand that gave me ideas for a procedure more suitable to the tools I had.
The second cockade I made was indeed more satisfactory, and I also started to experiment with making a center piece with ribbons, to cut down on the types of materials needed.
On this one I also tried to add a pin backing, so that I could write instructions on how to do it in what I believe is a more stable way than simply adding it to the felt backing at the end.
I’m not sure whether the other ones will be tacked to a hat, and thus won’t require pins at all, or if I’ll just put them on some dress with pins hidden under the ribbon layers.
And then I was ready to make a third cockade, taking step by step pictures for my website, and I planned to start on it the next morning.
Trenord had different ideas.
Thanks to the combination of independent but complete disruptions ontwo nearby train lines, I spent the morning driving a couple of people to the nearest station that was still being served by trains, and then back home less than 10 minutes before I had to start working, which if you ask1 me was pretty homophobic of the train company.
There was way less traffic than I expected, and I did enjoy the drive2, but for various reasons it meant a significant delay for this post.
Anyway, less than a week later than I had planned, halfway in June I managed to publish step by step instructions on my website, but I wasn’t done with the project yet.
Beside the fact that I still needed to finish sewing the backing felt to the cockades I had done, I also had a few ideas for more centrepieces made of ribbon I wanted to try.
And this means that I moved on to another project that was already in progress (this one will also be blogged).
After I’ve finished that one, at the very end of June I quickly made the last two centrepieces, taking pictures for the instructions, and in the next few days I also finished the cockades.
This time, instead of plain pleats I tried to use box pleats, and I quite like the look they give, so if in the future I’ll have a need for more cockades I may use again this pleating pattern.
For the last cockade I wanted to try two things: putting a pin in the middle as a centrepiece, and gathering the ribbons.
For the pin, I found that the only one I had that had a colour scheme compatible with the ribbons I had was one with the penguin from linux.it, which had a black background, so I put black ribbon on the outside and white next to it for contrast.
And gathering was done with a whipped gather with ribbons that were one and a half times the outer circumference of their slot, and looks decent enough, but I think I prefer the look of pleated cockades a lot. Maybe it would look better with a softer ribbon.
Anyway, I think this is plenty of cockades for the time being, unless I get tempted by buying more colours of ribbon to make different ones. But I’m not making an online purchase just for those. I am not.

Today I've been *very* good and instead of cutting myself a new shirt I've picked up the twine braids I did maybe two years ago and started sewing the soles for a new pair of slippers, so that when the current ones self destructs I won't have to make new ones in a hurry.
The first part of the sewing has been done on one sole, now I'd really want to do something easier in the evening, but if I keep working on the second sole I can bring it down to the point where it's more contained, without a long tail to manage.
But I'd really want to do be sewing something else!

Oggi sono stata *davvero* brava e invece di tagliarmi una nuova camicia ho tirato fuori le trecce di spago che avevo preparato forse due anni fa, e iniziato a cucire le suole per un paio di pantofole nuove, così quando quelle attuali vanno a pezzi non devo farmene un paio nuovo in fretta e furia.
Su una delle suole ho finito la prima parte delle cuciture, e stasera vorrei tanto cucire qualcosa di più semplice, ma se continuo a lavorare sulla seconda suola riesco a portarla ad un punto in cui è più compatta, senza una coda lunga da gestire.
Ma vorrei davvero cucire qualcos'altro!

A Pair of Hair Towel Wraps

Many months ago I had been ordering some furniture from IKEA1 and on one of those orders I got tempted by a hair towel wrap: it mostly worked as an idea, but it was too short for my hair.
On the other hand, I had two old towels I wasn’t using, and a recently unpacked sewing machine.
I didn’t plan too much, I just put the STJÄRNBUSKE over the towel, cut, realized that the two pieces didn’t fit with right sides together, cut the second towel (I had planned to make two wraps, anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal), and started sewing by machine in what seemed like a reasonable procedure, taking notes and pictures.
The result was pretty good, and I started using it every time I washed my hair, but then I started to entertain the idea of shooting myself sewing the second one by hand for a video, but never found the time to actually doing it, and the pieces remained in the Pile for months, and months, and way more than a year.
Until one day I bought a meter of cotton cheesecloth (mostly because it was almost cheaper than buying a sample) and it felt like a good material to make a nicely looking head wrapper, to keep my hair out of the way when needed.
A couple months later, it was finally time to bring this project to the top of the list, and even if I was sewing two by hand it went pretty quickly: we had a weekend when it was too hot to do anything else, and by the end of it the wraps were done.
All that remained was finish writing the instructions for my FreeSoftWear patterns website <https://sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/contemporary_unisex/headwear/hair_towel_wrap/index.html>>, and having some pictures taken, and this project was done.
And now, on to documenting a few more things I’ve done lately, and to start working on the other projects I have added to the queue in the meantime.
- small things. Like, you know, a kitchen :D↩︎

That was a very good conversation.
If you're interested in the topic of privacy and security oriented VPNs, what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are, and what their alternatives are, you might give this thread and the many responses a read.
I disagree with several elements of some of the responses, but even those responses are often given with backed up claims, nuance, and in a respectful manner.
I really love the fediverse, lol!
All "privacy oriented" commercial VPNs are honeypots.You can't change my mind on that.
Mullvad VPN has heavy marketing in Washington DC (their ads are plastered all across the metro stops frequented by government workers and foreign diplomats) for example.
The whole "you need to hide something? here we'll hide it for you! Everyone that wants to hide something should put is all in this one consolidated place!"
But they totally won't look at it.
They swear.
No logs, bro. I promise. I can look, but I won't. I could log, but I won't.
So while Mullvad the company is showing their ass, asking what other VPN to hop to begs the question: Why are you using a commercial VPN?
If it's to change your IP address to bypass porn restrictions in fundamentalist theocratic states, then cool. That's a solid use case.
If it's for a nebulous reason like "for privacy" or "for security". Then you might want to see if that tool actually meets your specific threat modeling.

Some time ago my mother bought (online) some pairs of white cotton shorts with whitework at the hems, she tried them on, they fit, she used them a couple of times, washed them, and they no longer fit.
so, she gave them to me, and they fit me, as in “i can put them on, but I'd need to take in the waist”, but as long as I'm unpicking them to make them narrower I might as well unpick the crotch seam and turn them into proper split drawers that I can wear both as shorts under skirts to prevent chafing and as underwear under properly victorian dress with a corset and everything.
the funny thing? they have #pockets (and decently sized pockets, too!)
so, yeah, my underwear is going to have pocketses :D and I didn't even have to make them from scratch :D
Un po' di tempo fa mia madre ha comprato (online) dei pantaloncini corti bianchi con l'orlo ricamato, li ha provati, andavano bene, li ha usati un paio di volte, lavati, e non le vanno più bene.

Today it was too hot to do, well, anything, really, so we decided to take a day off and rest.
Which means that I've spent the whole day #handsewing.
Which, one could assume, means that I've finished the vampire shirt? of course not, I still have to attach two pairs of finishing patches to the sleeve slits, of course.
But I've worked quite a bit on a new-ish project, so that's good, right?
And to be fair, I had cut the fabric for that project close to two years ago, so it didn't completely count as a *new* project either.
(It's a towel hair wrap, and a second one in a lighter fabric to use as general head wear)

Era il primo combattimento a rischio vittoria, mi aspettavo che mi tirassero addosso la qualunque
E ci han provato, ma non è bastato
Ho vinto.

I have to admit it was definitely a form of patriarchal oppression *and* because of capitalism.
When we were starting the game I was putting my token on the female marker, and then decided “no, in honor of Pride month let's start as a male” and everybody else did the same, starting as female, and I won as the only male in the game.
*And* I finished the game with a class of Tycoon, not because I'd chosen it willingly, but because that's the only class card I got.
And I also won one level early in the game by tattling to the police.
I'm not proud of this game.
But I won, and that's the important thing in #munchkin, right? :D

Devo ammettere che è stata oppressione del patriarcato *e* colpa del capitalismo.
All'inizio della partita stavo per mettere il segnalino su “donna”, ma ho detto “mannò, in onore del Pride inizio come uomo”, e gli altri mi hanno imitata (imitato?) iniziando come donna, e ho vinto essendo l'unico uomo del gioco.
*E* quando ho finito la mia classe era Tycoon, non perché l'avrei scelta liberamente, ma perché è stata l'unica carta classe che ho pescato..
E ho vinto uno dei livelli verso l'inizio della partita andando a fare la spia con la polizia.
Non sono orgogliosa di questa partita.
Ma ho vinto, e questa è la cosa importante in #munchkin, giusto?

I think this is well worth reading. I've been a bit frustrated by some over-confident claims that data centres in space are literally impossible due to the cooling issues alone, and other claims that those issues are fairly minor. I am nowhere near close to being familiar with all the real-world engineering nitty gritty; I understand a fair bit of thermodynamics, but that is not enough to really settle things. FWIW, the arguments here seem well grounded in physics and the technological/economic/legal issues raised strike me as plausible.

one simple relevant fact: several projects are proposing to build megastructures 20 times longer and wider than the biggest comparable structure that has ever been built (the ISS at about 100 m long). The ISS, we recall, is leaking due to structural strains possibly related to heat/cool cycles. Not even touching the mega-constellation idea.

My favourite example from a previous neighbourhood was one lodged midway up a tree. True commitment to the art.
Using LLMs is like driving a big-ass gas truck.
No one *should* do it, but it can be useful, and you—as an individual—shouldn't *really* feel that bad for doing it under limited circumstances.
But please remember, using it feeds some of the worst companies in history, and *they* (and especially their decision-makers) need to be held responsible for their destructive practices. Every dollar in their pockets helps promote more late-stage capitalism and fascism.
Lastly, If you *do* use it, don't drive like an asshole.

the project I’m on had a no AI clause (I thought it was in the contract) but with pressure and a trial, we’re all getting access to Copilot sometime in the future. Thankfully it’s not a demand. We don’t have to use it.

And a bit of a #sewing update
The three initial cockades have been actually finished, and I still want to make another couple to write instructions for two more centrepiece variants. Technically I could just make the centrepieces, since they are the only pictures I need, but completionist, I guess?
Meanwhile, I've picked back up the victorian vampire shirt, and it's closer to being finished than I remembered. These couple of days I've made all of the buttonholes (just 7) and finished the sleeves, and now the only things missing are attaching the sleeves to the body, and hemming half of the bottom edge (which I'll either do during my next confcall, or at the very end of the project, whichever comes first).
And I've also done some flossing on one (1) boning channel on the corset. That corset that has been worn a few times already.
And I've found at least one new sewing project I want to make (for which I already have almost all materials (I need to check if I have suitable sewing thread).

I was in the living room, putting back the (black) cover on the couch, I thought “I could do with a bit more light”, so I went to the office, opened a shell, run mosquitto_pub with a bit of json, and then back to the living room to see the LED bars turn from cycling rainbow to full white
and then when I finished doing stuff on the couch I went back to the office, and set the LED bars back to cycling rainbow
that's the normal way to deal with smart home stuff, right?

che cosa usi? Per ora io uso HA, ma sono ancora un bambino: ho bisogno di fango, di toccare la terra. HA non ha molto valore aggiunto per il mio setup (ma usano yaml)
@cate la maggior parte dei miei device sono degli ESP32-C3-DevKit-Lipo con attaccati dei sensori, che mandano i valori via mqtt in modo abbastanza grezzo e vengono letti da uno script python tenuto assieme con la duct tape che li salva in un rrd e genera dei grafici (visualizzati in una pagina html statico).
poi c'è la barra a LED RGB + W¹, controllata da un altro ESP32-C3-DevKit-Lipo che riceve comandi in un json custom, e ho intenzione di metterne in giro almeno un altra
poi abbiamo due (2) prese smart che inviano i dati di consumo in un formato compatibile con HA, ma ancora non ho avuto tempo di leggerli e farci cose, e una non è ancora neanche stata attaccata (sono state comprate per decidere quale sia il primo frigo da cambiare, poi non so se le useremo ancora)
prima o poi ho intenzione di cambiare il modo in cui gli ESP32-C3-DevKit-Lipo mandano i dati, per renderlo compatibile con HA e tutto il resto del mondo, e di scrivere qualcosa per leggerli che abbia un po' meno duct tape.
¹ nel senso che sono una striscia RGB e una strisca W comprate separatamente, incollate sulla stessa base di alluminio e controllate dallo stesso device

I will post on the blog about it later in the month (hopefully), but if anybody has a pressing need to make a cockade with multiple colours, say with a deadline in June, I've just published my instructions

(they do look finished in the pictures, dont' they? yeah, they aren't. I'm still sewing the backs, but nobody needs to know about it :D )

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •Il bottone destro del mio mouse aveva smesso di funzionare (ieri pomeriggio)
Quindi stamattina ho aperto il mouse, pulito i cadaveri attorno alla rotella, pulito un po' il resto, provato il bottone sul PCB, funzionava, chiuso il mouse, non funzionava più.
Ho aperto di nuovo il mouse, chiesto a @Diego Roversi di dargli un'occhiata, ha provato il bottone sul PCB, non funzionava, l'ha guardato con più intento¹, provato ancora, funzionava, ho chiuso il mouse e adesso funziona.
Ora, mi fa piacere che il mouse funzioni ancora, ma.
¹ ok, potrebbe esserci stata una spruzzatina di aria compressa
