/me, yesterday evening: listened to Barbero talking about villagers in a certain part of the Middle Ages weren't too unhappy about paying the rightยน amount of taxes to a local lord, because they *did* have a need for the service they provided of protection from raiders and outside threats.
/me, just afterwards: pays a kibble tribute to the local lord, who provides protection from mice and other critters, and sometimes even gracefully allows us to pet him.
ยน how much the *right* amount was was of course a completely different matter :D

Filed under: questions I'm not sure it was wise to ask myself.
Is it possible to #weave a twill tape with tablets on a #backstrapLoom? (apparently yes)
Is it a good use of my time to do so, when I can buy twill tape from the haberdasher? (not in linen, and not in the colours I can buy linen thread in)
Does Nm 24 yarn / thread mean that it will take forever?
Note that I've started with a few rows of plain weave, just to stabilize everything, and I've only woven the bare minimum I felt confortable with before removing the warm from the clamps and moving it to the backstrap loom.
Also, this brown yarn is cotton, not linen, I'm keeping the nice linen for when I'm sure that this whole thing can actually work.

Quella tecnica ha funzionato 5000 anni, non vedo perchรฉ non debba funzionare ora.
Se poi ti serve per fare cose che non si trovano in commercio ancora meglio, altrimenti cosa avresti come alternativa, comprare uno stabilimento che produce 5000 km di fettuccia l'anno?
@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua ecco, non lo so se ha funzionato 5000 anni fa, o se sono combinazioni di tecniche che hanno funzionato 5000 anni fa, ma non assieme: di solito con le tavolette si fanno cose con piรน di due fili, e per fare la fettuccia spigata credo che ci siano strumenti piรน semplici.

I've just watched Bernadette Banners' video โHow to Identify Quality in Clothing (A Rant)โ and I'm a bit surprised by the way serging is basically condemned as evil.
I do hate the serger (and the serger hates me), so on the clothing I make I tend to use french seams, bound edges and all those finishes, but other than the odd flat felled seam on sportswear I don't think I've ever seen a professionally made garment where the raw edges weren't finished with serging, even when it was an actual seamstress doing custom work.
Of course there is serging and serging, and the video does mention what to look for for better (or less worse, as they framed it) serging, but I just don't understand how one is supposed to find garments that aren't serged at all for sale.

I had just finished listening to an 1976 album (from a cd ripped to flac stored on a media center and played by a pinephone connected to the line in of the stereo) and there was a clank sound, possibly coming from the neighbors that sounded very much like the sound the turntables makes when stopping and returning the arm to the resting position.
I had earlier decided against listening to music on vinyl because I was also cutting fabric at the same time.

Have I mentioned that #handsewing water resistant cotton by hand (four layers of it, because I'm whipstitching two finished edges together) is *interesting*?

Some nuanced privacy advice:
- Signal is good, and you should use it because it strikes an effective balance in the optimization problem that is getting people to use secure technology.
- You should think really, really hard before using any technology whose entire threat model depends on centrally operated infrastructure remaining trusted and uncompromised. Especially ones based in jurisdictions without effective democratic institutions.

Ultimately, the main questions you really need to ask yourself are:
- "What are you trying to protect"

Privacy itself is a technology, a powerful one, and you should learn to wield it effectively to accomplish the goals you have.

Conference Talk Timeout Ring, Part One
Posted on February 4, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms, madeof:bits
A few ago I may have accidentally bought a ring of 12 RGB LEDs; I soldered temporary leads on it, connected it to a CircuitPython supported board and played around for a while.
They we had a couple of friends come over to remote FOSDEM together, and I had talked with one of them about WS2812 / NeoPixels, so I brought them to the living room, in case there was a chance to show them in sort-of-use.
Then I was dealing with playing the various streams as we moved from one room to the next, which lead to me being called โvideo teamโ, which lead to me wearing a video team shirt (from an old DebConf, not FOSDEM, but still video team), which lead to somebody asking me whether I also had the sheet with the countdown to the end of the talk, and the answer was sort-of-yes (I should have the ones we used to use for our Linux Day), but not handy.
But I had a thing with twelve things in a clock-like circle.
A bit of fiddling on the CircuitPython REPL resulted, if I remember correctly, in something like:
import board
import neopixel
import time
num_pixels = 12
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(board.GP0, num_pixels)
pixels.brightness = 0.1
def end(min):
pixels.fill((0, 0, 0))
for i in range(12):
pixels[i] = (127 + 10 * i, 8 * (12 - i), 0)
pixels[i-1] = (0, 0, 0)
time.sleep(min * 5) # min * 60 / 12Now, I wasnโt very consistent in running
end, especially since I wasnโt sure whether I wanted to run it at the beginning of the talk with the full duration or just in the last 5 - 10 minutes depending of the length of the slot, but Iโve had at least one person agree that the general idea has potential, so Iโm taking these notes to be able to work on it in the future.One thing that needs to be fixed is the fact that with the ring just attached with temporary wires and left on the table it isnโt clear which LED is number 0, so it will need a bit of a case or something, but thatโs something that can be dealt with before the next fosdem.
And I should probably add some input interface, so that it is self-contained and not tethered to a computer and run from the REPL.
(And then I may also have a vague idea for putting that ring into some wearable thing: good thing that I actually bought two :D )

This afternoon I've received 5 sensors of a certain typeยน I've bought in the weekend.
They were in individual plastic bags (purple), I've put them all in a single plastic bag, and put the bag back in the box they came in.
In the last hour or so I've taken one of them out, connected it to the microcontroller on a breadboard I use for these things, programmed it to use it, it worked. Then I decided to take another microcontroller whose sensorยฒ was broken, and change it with one of these.
So I picked up the soldering iron, all of the accessories, and changedยณ the board that connects the microcontroller and the sensor, soldered headers to *another* one of the new sensors, and update the firmware, and everything worked.
And now I wanted to put away the remaining ones in their right place, and I can't find them anymore.
They aren't near in the box, they aren't near the upgraded microcontroller, they aren't in the plastic box where they are supposed to end up
Aaaand thanks everybody, while writing this I looked under the soldering mat (which I had put back into its place) and the sensors were there!

Oggi pomeriggio ho ricevuto dei sensoriยน che ho comprato nel weekend.
Erano in bustine di plastica (viola) individuali, li ho messi tutti nella stessa bustina, e rimesso la bustina nella scatola in cui erano arrivati.
Nell'ultima oretta li ho ripresi in mano, collegati al micro su breadboard con cui faccio le prove, programmato il micro per usarlo, funzionava. E poi ho deciso di prendere un altro micro il cui sensoreยฒ si era rotto e sostituirlo con uno di questi.
Quindi ho preso il saldatore e tutto quanto, cambiatoยณ la schedina che collega microcontrollore e sensore, saldato headers su un altro dei sensori nuovi, aggiornato il firmware e tutto funziona.
E poi volevo mettere i sensori rimasti al loro posto, e non li trovo piรน.
Non sono nella scatola, non sono vicino al micro aggiornato, non sono nella scatola di plastica dove dovranno andare.

also, after weeks of ignoring the issue because I didn't know how to debug it, I now have a device that can log GPS data on an SD card.
additionally, if in the function write_sentence(sentence) you use fp.write(sentence) instead of fp.write(gps.nmea_sentence) you can even write *other* things on the same log! such as, I don't know, sensor data!
now I guess I have to write something for the PC that can extract sensor data from a NMEA log and show it in a nice way? meh, maybe, at some point :D

A lot of newbies don't know, but in the early times of Mastodon an emphasis was put on being as inclusive as possible.
One way was a simple courtesy to some of our autistic friends. You see some autistic individuals have issues with pictures that have direct eye contact in them.

Since a lot of new people have come on I've noticed a rise in people trying to start arguments. It's as if they carried the toxicity from wherever they came from along with them.
So this is your reminder that you DO NOT HAVE TO ENGAGE with people who are here just to start fights.
Mute them. Block them. Do whatever you have to do to take care of your mental health.
They aren't worthy of your time.

Thanks for the reminder. I totally agree with "block early, block often, block for any reason at all".
But I also find that my feeds (and my own posts) are suddenly much more political and much more angry/sad/all the feels for a very obvious reason. I'm trying to keep that in perspective.
As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.
