10 minutes ago the sun had not set yet, so I started to solder the few bits left so that we could finish the project we had been working on in the afternoon (after buying the last bits we needed this morning).
it is now 21:40, and I've finished soldering 10 minutes ago. It's definitely too dark to do any outside work.
I haven't tested anything, and I've already covered everything in heatshrink (it's all cables and pin headers, nothing expensive in case I have to redo everything from scratch).
Leroy Merlin is French. The French are Elves. That explains why we entered the shop mid morning (before 10, I think), and after spending half an hour, surely no more than an hour in there, we left at half past midday.
And also why when we go there we always leave being exhausted, as if our soul had been nibbled upon.
@Diego Roversi had to eat some food while we were in, but it was food we had brought from outside, and never left unattended, so we should be fine, right?

tempo fa con qualcuno parlavo (livellosegreto.it/@mannivu/114…) di come su reddit ci fosse una comunità dedicata a spiegare post grafici, tutto fatto dall'utenza.

Yesterday and today, the whole of Spain, Portugal and parts of France, and possibly as per some reports, parts of Italy and Belgium lost their power inexplicably. Italy and Belgium reports might have been spurious. This happened about 12:30 local time here in Spain.
The power was out for about 14 hours here, a bit less for some areas as they brought up the grid piece by piece.
The mobile base stations were the first to go.
We have solar panels and batteries which carry over the night, and it was a sunny day, so we maintained power here in the house over the event.
This Mastodon instance was inaccessible for 11 hours, because apparently the fiber optic substations lost their emergency battery power after 6 hours or so, and the final internet connection we had was cut.
There is still no conclusive determination for what happened or why. It seems the most likely explanation currently is some sort of an atmospheric event causing resonance in the electric grid.
elpais.com/economia/2025-04-28…
At night, our house was pretty much the only one with power. The other lights visible in the photo are largely cars and flashlights. We still have our Christmas lights in the yard...
The stars were well visible in the sky.
So, lessons learned:
1. Apocalypses (or pseudo-apocalypses) don't necessarily come with a bang. They come with an eery silence and darkness, and no one knows what is happening.
2. I am still unable to play my local Plex series with the good TV, because everything seems to require internet connectivity for no good reasons. I can play them with my phone and on laptop (but with proprietary codecs and without hardware accelerations it's in practice impossible). Playstation Plex simply refuses to function without internet.
3. Don't run multiple high power cooking appliances at once because it overloads the inverter.
4. The house water pump isn't in the emergency power circuit, which is inconvenient and needs fixing.
5. Need to have physical keys for things easily available, and not hidden in places you'd look in the last.
6. Even if the local internet networks would still work, if the global networks aren't available the ISPs happily just cut off all the networks and don't even try to maintain just local networks for convenient local emergency communications purposes. Ditto for electricity.

POLARVIDE modular jacket
Posted on April 28, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms, craft:sewing
Years ago I made myself a quick dressing gown from a white fleece IKEA throw and often wore it in the morning between waking up and changing into day clothes.
One day I want to make myself a fancy victorian wrapper, to use in its place, but that’s still in the early planning stage, and will require quite some work.
Then last autumn I discovered that the taxes I owed to the local lord (who provides protection from mice and other small animals) included not just a certain amount of kibbles, but also some warm textiles, and the dressing gown (which at this time was definitely no longer pristine) had to go.
For a while I had to do without a dressing gown, but then in the second half of this winter I had some time for a quick machine sewing project. I could not tackle the big victorian thing, but I still had a second POLARVIDE throw from IKEA (this time in a more sensible dark grey) I had bought with sewing intents.
The fabric in a throw isn’t that much, so I needed something pretty efficient, and rather than winging it as I had done the first time I decided I wanted to try the Modular Jacket from A Year of Zero Waste Sewing (which I had bought in the zine instalments: the jacket is in the March issue).
After some measuring and decision taking, I found that I could fit most of the pieces and get a decent length, but I had no room for the collar, and probably not for the belt nor the pockets, but I cut all of the main pieces. I had a possible idea for a contrasting collar, but I decided to start sewing the main pieces and decide later, before committing to cutting the other fabric.
As I was assembling the jacket I decided that as a dressing gown I could do without the collar, and noticed that with the fraying-free plastic fleece I didn’t really need the front facings, so I cut those in half lengthwise, pieced them together, and used them as binding to finish the front end.
Since I didn’t have enough fabric for the belt I also skipped the belt loops, but I have been wearing this with random belts and I don’t feel the need for them anyway. I’ve also been thinking about adding a button just above the bust and use that to keep it closed, but I’m still not 100% sure about it.
Another thing I still need to do is to go through the few scraps of fleece that are left and see if I can piece together a serviceable pocket or two.
Because of the size of the fabric, I ended up having quite long sleeves: I’m happy with them because they mean that I can cover my hands when it’s cold, or fold them back to make a nice cuff.
If I’ll make a real jacket with this patter I’ll have to take this in consideration, and either make the sleeves shorter or finish the seam in a way that looks nice when folded back.
Will I make a real jacket? I’m not sure, it’s not really my style of outer garment, but as a dressing gown it has already been used quite a bit (as in, almost every morning since I’ve made it :) ) and will continue to be used until too worn to be useful, and that’s a good thing.

After just a few years of procrastination, I’ve given a wash ofgit-filter-repo to the repository where I keep my hexagonal sticker designs, removed a few failed experiments and stuff with dubious licensing and was able to finally publish it among my public git repositories
This repo includes the template I’m using, most of the stickers I’ve had printed, some that have been published elsewhere and have been printed by other people, as well as some that have never been printed and I may or may not print in the future.
The licensing details are in the metadata of each file, and mostly depend on the logos or cliparts used. Most, but not all, are under a free culture license.
My server is not setup to correctly serve the SVG files, yet: downloading them (from the “plain” links) should work, but I need to fix the content type that is provided. I will probably procrastinate doing it for quite some time, but eventually it will be done. Of course cloning the repository from the public https URL also works.
BRB, need to add MOAR stickerses.

There are no known security issues with "Siacs OMEMO" / OMEMO v0.3¹ despite of what some very loud Signal fans would like you to believe. It has been audited by a third party² who took a longer look at it than all of the Signal fans combined.
Yes, #OMEMO v0.7+ (or TWOMEMO 😜) is a cleaner spec with more features (most notably Stanza Content Encryption). That’s why we wrote it. I’m a co-author. That doesn’t mean v0.3 is insecure.

Most of those Signal fans probably refer to a certain blog post by a certain hobby cryptographer. [edit to add: specifically not linked or named because that person doesn't like "evangelists" for messengers-that-aren't-Signal near them. I respect that.]
One argument there holds water, though: OMEMO use is opt-in, and with opportunities to opt-out.
That's different from what Signal offers, and a foot-gun that is way too simple to trigger. (On the down-side, Signal can't opt-out of data being processed in the US. Trade-offs! 🤷)
All the fluff about this-algorithm-or-that or dependency management in Conversations (their solution is dependabot, unvetted-updates-as-a-service. really?!?) is minor compared to that one aspect.
The expectation should be that stuff is E2EE, with carefully (and loudly announced) exceptions where reasonable (when using XMPP as an internal bus protocol, you might be able to get away without it; when running a client on retro gear, you might get better mileage without the crypto overhead, too - but these must be exceptions, not semi-automatic fallbacks)

Is there a non-US marketplace where one can find sewing patterns? In other words, not Etsy.
reshared this
Asked my wife and she doesn't know a marketplace, but buys from a few sellers. She suggests
- ellieandmac.com/pages/about-el…
- pattydoo.de/en (mostly in German however)
- stylearc.com/
She mostly buys pdf patterns and then does magic with a projector. Honestly, pure magic...
@Liminal witch 🧙♀️ Sarah I don't know of a marketplace, but I can recommend at least one indie designer and a couple other hopefully useful websites
the one indie designer I've bought (and actually sewn¹ :D ) more pattern from is scroop patterns / the dreamstress, who is not in the US (she's in NZ), and sells directly from her site
scrooppatterns.com/
of course that's just a handful of specific looks
There is another indie I've bought something from, Liz Haywood from AU, but she sells via etsy. :(
Then there is freesewing.org/ (free as in #freeSoftWear) that aren't traditional patterns, but made-to-measure ones and work in a bit of a different way. They have published freesewing.org/blog/us-and-eu/ on the topic of getting away from the US, and are here on the fediverse.
And lastly I follow a blog (the author is in the UK) that does reviews of free patterns: many are from the websites of indie designers (other from bigger sites) and may be a good source for additional sources of patterns.
¹ they aren't a lot because I enjoy drafting my own patterns

Però è soltanto nel 1700 che si hanno le monarchie assolute, altrimenti i re o gli imperatori post impero romano, dovevano invocare gli stati generali prima di mettere tasse o fare guerre...
@🧊 freezr 🥶 stavo pensando più alla pessima fama dell'ultimo re di roma, e agli imperatori (che a causa di quella pessima fama si sono sempre assicurati di far sapere a tutti che loro *non erano assolutamente* dei re — ma di fatto avevano riaccentrato tutti i poteri rilevanti), e a quanto un cattivo imperatore riuscisse a causare disastri
poi non so come fosse l'equilibrio dei poteri nell'impero romano d'oriente, durante il medioevo, credo più accentrato rispetto a molti stati dell'europa occidentale
(ah, e ovviamente le monarchie europee attuali, al massimo con una rilevante eccezione, rientrano pienamente nel caso di poteri opportunamente suddivisi)
Gli imperatori Romani erano assoluti, sebbene fare l'imperatore era un rischio perché si moriva piuttosto facilmente e nessuno si scandalizzava per un imperatore assassinato... 😁

Have I finished the cartridge pleated skirt? of course not (it's getting closer, however)
Have I started to cut the lining fabric for the next project? maaaaaybe :D
I need a bodice to go with that skirt, and this morning I had some time when I could cut some fabric and quickly sew a mockup by machine.
I'm not 100% sure about the result, I may need to remove a bit of ease, but the fabric I'm going to use for the bodice was cheap enough¹ that I think I will cut it and I can always take it in later.
¹ a mystery fabric that was listed as something like 100% cotton, but had “lana” (wool) in the name, smells like wet sheep when wet, and looks and feels as if it has a cotton (or other plant fiber) in the weft and wool in the warp.

Ho finito la gonna arricciata? ovviamente no (ci sono quasi però)
Ho iniziato a tagliare la fodera per il prossimo progetto? potrei :D
Con quella gonna ci vuole un corpetto, e stamattina avevo del tempo in cui potevo tagliare della stoffa e cucire al volo a macchina un provino.
Non sono sicura al 100% del risultato, forse dovrò togliere un po' di agio, ma la stoffa che userò era abbastanza economica¹ che credo che alla prossima occasione la taglierò, e al massimo sono sempre in tempo a stringerlo poi.
¹ una stoffa a sorpresa che era venduta come 100% cotone, aveva la parola lana nel nome, odora di pecora bagnata quando è bagnata e da l'impressione di avere l'ordito di cotone (o altre fibre vegetali) e la trama di lana.

three out of four panels of the bodice have been lined, and I could now start assembling them and try it on.
except for the fact that I suspect that a better way to do it would be to finish the lacing eyelets before assembling the bodice. it's probably not that much of a difference, but I'm also writing down instructions, and I want to do things right.
and this means that I have to wait MOAR time to see how the bodice will look like!

tre pezzi su quattro del corpetto sono stati foderati, e potrei iniziare a cucirli assieme e provarlo.
se non fosse che sospetto che sia meglio rifinire gli occhielli sui pezzi separati, prima di avere tutto il corpetto assemblato. non credo che sia una differenza enorme, ma sto anche scrivendo delle istruzioni, e quindi preferisco fare le cose fatte bene.
ma questo significa che devo aspettare PIÙ tempo prima di vedere come sta venendo il corpetto!

(Inoltre, adoro questo genere di dolori, perché mi da una scusa per lamentarmi :D )
¹ non sono così alti, e come scarpe col tacco sono decisamente comode, ma non le ho messe per un po' di tempo e devo riabituarmici

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •10 minuti fa il sole non era ancora tramontato, quindi ho iniziato a saldare le ultime cose in modo da poter finire il progetto su cui abbiamo lavorato nel corso del pomeriggio (dopo aver comprato le ultime cose che ci servivano stamattina).
sono le 21:40, ho finito di saldare 10 minuti fa. là fuori fa decisamente troppo buio per lavorare.
Non ho ancora testato niente, e ho già ricoperto tutto di termorestringente (sono solo cavi e pin headers, niente di costoso nel caso in cui debba rifare tutto da capo)
