I remember the day the aliens came. All of them, at once. Their varied spacecraft hovered above every population centre. Then they sent their broadcast.

“We’re really sorry. You probably wondered where we all were. It turns out that someone incorrectly typed your coordinates into our planetary directory.”

After all these years, we had the answer to the Fermi Paradox. It was DNS.

I've made a list of all the #sewing projects I have in various stages of planning / making (and for which I already have fabric and most notions). It's 17 items long. no, wait, make it 18, but it didn't fit in the page. Plus at least four fixes to existing garments (probably more).

I need to stop starting new projects (yeah, right, like that's going to happen).

No, I don't think you've ever shared it, and I needed something like this for a current project, thanks.

only... I think I've found a bug :D

It is possible to select just one colour in the first screen, but if you do so, you get Uncaught Error: colorCount should be between 2 and 20. To get one color, call getColor() instead of getPalette() in the javascript console (followed by Uncaught TypeError: getColor is not a function

Using two colours work fine.

Informazione di servizio per i pendolari emiliano-romagnoli: da qualche giorno è possibile richiedere il rimborso su conto corrente dell'intera cifra dei voucher emessi per compensare abbonamenti non usufruiti durante il lockdown (fino ad ora la somma era spendibile solo per l'emissione di massimo due titoli di viaggio, intestati all'abbonato, solo in ER)

Ovviamente il rimborso in denaro non è sponsorizzato ed è quasi introvabile quindi se aveste bisogno di dettagli scrivetemi pure in privato.

You know what: it'd be great if people who need accessibility didn't go around calling other people's work "trash". I get it: accessibility is hard, and required for people to use a computer—but you know how proprietary platforms deal with it? They pay developers. You know what Linux users do for it? They fucking whine about it, and then they go out and say that any effort made is trash.

Well, guess what: stuff doesn't fix itself.

Dear lazyweb,

I remember that some time ago somebody mentioned a good (well maintained with modern extensions) #xmpp server that offered accounts for a small price (as opposed to free) and wasn't conversations.im, but I can't find which one it was.

I'm writing suggestions for new users, and I'd like to provide more than just one alternative.

#xmpp

Delib

For example, the jmp.chat gateway. Once a person has an account on some server and a client application, then jmp.chat/ gives xmpp phone numbers with standard telephony network connections for a small fee after a free demo period. They are a gateway for voicemail, texts, SIP and other media through xmpp, and committed to the GPL.

For more technically inclined readers, xmpp.org/about/myths.html compares benefits of xmpp with other communication standards protocols.

It's Prime Day, which means that I'm spending money anywhere but Amazon.

I have a couple of electronics gizmos and related artifacts that I need for myself and for our Maker Space.

I am soliciting suggestions for which items to buy and where to buy them in this thread. I will update it throughout the day, and may octopode it, we'll see how froggy I'm feeling.

Ebook readers -

The first item I'm looking for is a cheap and reliable ebook reader with a backlight, support for common file formats (epub I guess, is the only one I care about) and ideally a web browser which can be used to browse a library web page we run on our intranet to load ebooks on to the thing.

Micro USB or USB-C charging, and battery life of 20+ hours active is ideal

I need 4 - 6 of them, but I'd like to spend less than $300, which is the most complicated part here.

Tablets -

There are a couple of places in the maker space where having an easy interface to a web portal, etc, would be really useful.

Stuff like "checking out a piece of equipment from the closet" and "clocking out of my volunteer shift" and "registering the time that I turned on the kiln, and what temperature I set it to."

I plan on having a web page to record these things, but a wall or desk tethered touch screen would be useful. Less than $75?

Thanks to the sewing machine, advances in the quality of machine lace etc. shirtwaists in the most delicate & dainty materials can now be had for pretty cheap, but before buying them the prudent office girl should ask herself: can I afford their laundry costs?

the amount of *-ism in that book is just as can be expected from a book of the early 1800 that is meant to be used when teaching the poor so that they can become exploitable domestic workers.

But then, it was the early 1800s, it's not like one could expect anything better.

And for people who are interested in historical clothing, it's full of useful bits.

A qualcuno in zona como / varese interessano due o tre forni solari a pannello di cartone e stagnola?

Li ho fatti per provare forme diverse e li ho usati per qualche mese, funzionano, ma nel frattempo me ne sono fatta uno di compensato per cui non li uso più e ho bisogno di liberare lo spazio.

Ever used this?
"wget <url-to-gpg-key> | sudo apt-key add -"

man:apt-key says
"apt-key - Deprecated APT key management utility"

It has been deprecated for (quite) a while now, but most people probably missed that.

is an excellent blog post describing what you should use instead.

It also describes a feature to restrict a gpg key to a specific repo (available since apt 1.1):

@Bevilacqua Gustavino

Uno dei posti da cui di tanto in tanto compro cose online sembra avere una sola misura di scatolone (enorme), da loro non riesco ad avere bisogno di così tante cose da riempirla, e di consequenza mi son trovata con un grosso sacchetto pieno di chip di mais da imballaggio, quelli che si attaccano assieme con l'acqua.

Ora, a parte farci modellini, che però non farò mai, e una volta fatti rimangono comunque ad occupare spazio in casa, c'è qualcosa di utile e pratico che ci si può fare?

L'alternativa è provare a sentire conoscenti di conoscenti se hanno bambini dell'età giusta per giocarci (ma tra i conoscenti non ce ne sono, che io sappia).

BTW, I feel I should mention that of course I'm also leaving freenode, you can find me on both Libera.chat and OFTC.

I may still be on FreeNode for a few days, to help with the ongoing migration of one channel, but if you need to contact me it's better to use one of the other two.

You can reference commits using the commit message instead of the hash. The ":/" syntax accepts a regex that matches any part of the commit message, returning the youngest matching commit.

ugh. libre-#$$@#$-office.

I've looked into it and it's because the package has a Recommends on unoconv (converter between LibreOffice document formats), which in turn Recommends the whole suite.

I've found that apt install --no-install-recommends gnome-books brings down the dependency list to a much more reasonable size. (of course, some features of gnome-books will be missed, notably all those that relate to dealing with office formats).

Disclaimer: I had to work with uno (accessing libreoffice from python programs) and I got traumatized by the experience :)

* one tiny bit of kneadable eraser
* some pencil lead shavings (from a 2mm lead rather than a regular pencil, so that there was no wood)

kneaded together for a while, applied with a toothpick over an #SMDjumper

profit!

no more cleaning a jumper that has been written over with pencil every time I try to update the firmware on my #espruinoPico

New shirt!

Sewn by hand, pattern by Bernadette Banners on youtube with minor changes (all of the non-historically accurate details are mine).

Light blue (with a purple tint) shirting that I bought a few years ago, so it counts as stashbusting, right?

Worn tucked in

and loose, with a belt (I guess it can be worn without the belt, but I don't think I like that look)

It is pretty long, almost reaching to above-knee lenght.

Also, is it me, or am I accidentally ending up with a pidgeon breast look even when wearing things from a different era?

It’s Saturday, so you know what that means!

I am once again asking that you start your own instance. Just do it. Control your own data, make your own rules, and choose what you see. It’s fun. And as the Fediverse scales horizontally, we will each individually hold a larger stake in the network.

Again, if you are having any trouble, please (!) feel free to reach out to me. I will be more than happy to help you out with whatever problems you have.

Set it up on a server that is yours or will be yours

Pay someone else to host it for you

If you're annoyed by the shit #Signal is doing, don't switch to the next centralized thing. They all tend to go bad after a while and you can't do anything about it. Use decentralized messengers instead, like #XMPP, #Matrix or #Deltachat. Federated protocols like them can't add features unless a lot of people agree.

Dear fediverse: do you know of any online shop in Europe that sells food-grade paper packaging such as bread bags in quantities suitable for the needs of a household (a min quantity of 100 pieces is fine, 1000 is not, 10000 is definitely way too high)?

Excluding amazon / ebay / other big platforms.

Thanks, and boosts welcome

Gentil fediverso: qualcuno conosce dei negozi online in Europa che vendono imballaggi di carta per alimenti, tipo i sacchetti del pane, e che vendano a privati in quantità adeguate a privati (acquisto minimo 100 pezzi va bene, 1000 no, 10000 è decisamente troppo)?

Che non siano amazon / ebay / altre megapiattaforme.

Grazie, e i boost sono graditi

I have never retracted anything, nor I intend to do so. As one of the first signers I stand behind what is written in the open letter.

I hope that is clear enough.

I'm still curious as to what it is that you agree with that article when it comes to getting behind criticism of the open letter, while also standing behind the letter. it sounds a little contradictory to me, and I expect your stating what it was that you criticized would have made it clear, but I get and respect that you won't wish to specify what the criticism you also partially undersigned was, and prefer to leave it up for speculation. I acknowledge and appreciate the self-criticism you imply with this combination of actions. o-o
