#Mastoaiuto
Io chiedo, magari qualcuno sa: devo buttare via un paio di scarpe e dei guanti, scarpe in pelle con suola di gomma e guanti di lana con palmo in pelle vera.

Vorrei trovare qualcuno che sia in grado di riciclarli, vanno bene sia punti di raccolta specifici (possibilmente zona #Torino) o persone, artigiani, etc che magari riutilizzano gli scarti per ricavarne portafogli o altri oggetti.

Non mi va di buttarli nell'indifferenziata, so che esistono progetti di riutilizzo, io stesso ho acquistato accessori realizzati con pelle riciclata, camere d'aria e copertoni di biciclette, etc...

e poi c'è la soluzione ai problemi di @LaVi e @Fabio : tornare ai cavalli!

(tecnicamente sta parlando della linea dello stato¹, non di quella delle nord¹ da saronno, ma il problema è sempre quello)

“Superata poi appena che si abbia la suddetta spartizion d’acqua a fianco della Camerlata, il terreno discende rapidamente verso il lago di Como, e qui è dove le difficoltà per la costruzione dell’ideata rotaja non sono veramente nè poche, nè piccole qualora si volesse continuare a servirsi delle macchine locomotive per il trasporto delle merci e dei passeggieri nel ritorno dal lago di Como alla Camerlata; ma postochè si offre per quest’ultima tratta di strada di ferro l’ovvio ripiego di servirsi dei cavalli in vece del vapore, mentre l’uso dei cavalli per l’attiraglio dei carri e delle carrozze sulle rotaje di ferro comporta pendenza e curve assai maggiori, almeno nello stato attuale di perfezionamento delle macchine locomotive inglesi, e così permettono di non allungarne di troppo la linea con molti giri per andare a spianarsi colla strada di ferro sotto il livello del pelo basso del lago di Como.”

cartoonish violence, tea, wesnoth

yesterday evening I had to stop playing wesnoth (Son of the Black Eye) in the middle of a scenario because it was bedtime.

“The problem here is that there is some *scum* that is not worth living! And that their skulls are still inside their heads, attached to their bodies, instead of being made into cups!
“And if I want to use those cups to drink mint cordial, that's my own business!
“You know what? I'm going to order those skulls made into a *tea*set*! A fancy tea set, with its own wicker basket, lined with checked fabric, to carry on campaign!”

and @Diego Roversi didn't even bother deigning me with a “yes dear”

violenza fumettosa, té, wesnoth

Ieri sera ho dovuto interrompere uno scenario di wesnoth (Son of the Black Eye) a metà, perché era ora di andare a dormire.

“Il problema è che c'è della *feccia* che non è degna di vivere! E che i loro teschi sono ancora dentro alle loro teste, attaccate al loro corpo, anziché in lavorazione per diventare delle tazze!
“E se in quelle tazze voglio bere un cordiale alla menta sono fatti miei!
“Anzi, sai cosa? Darò l'ordine con quei teschi di fare delle *tazze da té*! Un bel servizio da té elegante, con il suo cestino di vimini foderato di stoffa a quadretti, da portarmi durante le campagne!”

Hey @penfount & maybe also #MedicalLab, #Chemistry fedi?

I’m looking for non-plastic alternatives to the typical 5mL medical sample vials—that have the same aspect ratio including ledge/brim!

I use the ledges in storing and with a test tube holder as a customizable dip pen palette. Most of the glass ones I see have lids the same width as the body, not wider. Don’t have to be glass. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

And thanks to an anonymous worker who was changing some gas pipes and broke down half of the electronic payments of Italy, today we used a *check*.

(to pay for services, not for black-friday goods)

(and for services that we had booked at the beginning of the month, way before the strike for today had been announced, and they had legal deadlines (one tomorrow and one two weeks ago - uoooops), so we couldn't just rebook them out of solidarity)

minor body complaints

After four days on and off of building ikea furniture (on the floor, of course), as I was walking up the stairs my legs had an union meeting and started to make demands.

I told them that I can't give them a pay rise, but I suggested a significant reduction in working hours (for the same pay, of course), and they haven't started a strike yet.

We are still negotiating about a warm shower.

Related, those cheap knee pads we bought almost on a whim a few months ago are starting to go quite high in the list of best way to spend 5-ish €

Leggo casualmente in giro una certa preoccupazione e/o svariate discussioni sul problema delle migrazioni di utent* dai sn commerciali al fediverso, a seguito delle merdate cicliche dei vari proprietari miliardari.
Beh, negli anni che ho passato qui, ho visto queste dinamiche succedere ogni tot. Anch'io le prime volte mi sentivo infastidito dall'atteggiamento spesso verbalmente e psicologicamente aggressivo di persone abituate ad algoritmi e bolle social echo-chamber autoreferenziali basate su numeri di followers.

Però posso dirvi che il 90% delle nuove persone che sbarcheranno qui in questo periodo, non faranno altro che lamentarsi che il fediverso è troppo difficile senza sforzarsi un minimo di capire, non chiuderanno l'account commerciale e torneranno di là a leccare algoritmi appena passata la bufera. Durano un mese. 🤗

Why am I here and not on #Bluesky or #Threads? Because here I am on my own instance, hosted in the EU, and not on a centralised service from the US (which both Bluesky and Threads are) where soon a Trump government is installed that can easily force both Bluesky and Threads to hand over full access to all my data (I am quite sure Musk is already offering the X/Twitter social graph to Trump). That's my personal risk calculation. Yours might be very different. And that's perfectly fine! 1/3

Another reason for staying here is metadata. Trust me, not many organisations out there really care about the content of your posts. They focus far more on the connections and frequency of data on likes, boost, follow/unfollow etc. In a centralised service that metadata is, uhm, centralised too and easy to access. In a federated network that isn't that easy, especially when, like me, you live on your own instance and not a big one like mastodon.social. Decentralisation makes abuse expensive. 3/3

jerry-rigged electronics

TFW you have to reflash a device on site, and forgot home the mini-breadboard and jumper cables that you use to ground pin 9 on the board, but an electrician has just finished working on the 230V lines and they have left droppings (i.e. small bits of electric cable of unknown size)

a microcontroller board: pin 9 has been connected to pin GND by wrapping a bit of stranded electrical cable around them, but the cable is huge compared to the pins, some of the copper had to be folded back, and the risk of shorting a pin to the nearby ones is pretty high

it worked, the device is now reflashed and safely in position :D

I've just declared sock mending bankruptcy.

* darning them is basically useless: as soon as they have been darned they break somewhere else
* patching them with bits of other socks works, but takes some effort and I have a years-long backlog. really. it's a huge bag and I'm not going to go through it ever, and there are others in various piles around the house
* I need materials to fill a few draught excluders, and I don't have enough textile waste of other types (that I don't want to reuse in some other way)

x.x.x.x - - [10/Nov/2024:00:02:37 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 162 "-" "okhttp/4.9.0"

You know what’s interesting about this log line? It repeats 56,686,963 times in www.kernel.org logs for yesterday, across 4 nodes. That’s about 700 times a second, and this has been going on for months.

These requests aren’t intentionally malicious – they issue a simple GET /, receive their 301 redirect, and terminate the connection. From what I can tell, this is some kind of appliance or software installed on mobile clients that uses “can I reach www.kernel.org” as a network test.

This wouldn’t be that big of a deal – a single plaintext “GET /“ that triggers an immediate 301 is very cheap for us to generate, but the number of these requests has been steadily growing.

If you have any idea what this is and how to make it stop, please reach out?

going to fawn over Standard Ebooks site standardebooks.org for a minute here

So aside from providing beautiful ebooks of public domain books, the site is blazing fast serving pages for so many books, and it's all static pages:

alexcabal.com/posts/standard-e…

Then look on a page for a book. There's a render of a book with the cover, the books at like an angle and if you hover over it the book floats a little.

Turn off javascript and the pic still renders and floats a little. If you right click and say open pic in new tab just the unaltered cover comes up.

Which means all the magic to take the cover and turn into a render of a book with a floating animation is all done in CSS.

And even better, go to a typical book. Typical thickness in that render. Then go to a big book, like The History and Decline of the Roman Empire.

standardebooks.org/ebooks/edwa…

Look at that chonk of a book in the rendering. So each book rendering is rendered the relative thickness of the book. Just such a cool detail.

edit: Oh, and go to the feeds for books:

standardebooks.org/feeds

There's OPDS (the catalog feed format), and RSS and Atom. Normally, you make the mistake of going to a feed URL in your browser instead of a specific program to read feeds, and you're punished with horrible XML.

But click on any feed link here and it's the nice looking HTML like the rest of the site. Is the server determining dynamically if a browser is reading the feed or a different program? But wait, isn't the site static?

That's right, all those feeds are also good looking HTML. Just brilliant work.

I want people to maintain personal sites in the same way they wrote zines. I want people to share homemade music through homemade social networks, and to create both just for the pure love of it. I want our personalities to come through not just in the words or links we share, but in the URLS we use and the code we write. I dream of regional communities forming online, based around organically grown web rings, and for idiosyncrasies to form in the aesthetics of our sites based on the communities we learned to code from. Basically, to bring back all the things that made the early internet so exciting and open and welcoming.

Today I've put this mirror on one wall

an oval mirror with an ornate metal border

and I just had to ask it.

However, in Italian the mirror mirror phrase end with “who's the fairest *in the kingdom*”, and of course the mirror remained blank, since we live in a republic.

However, we do have a Marquess, who walks around the block looking for spots in the sun, demanding tribute and giving purrs in exchange, so I tried asking for the fairest *in the march*. I was deeply disappointed to see that the mirror remained blank and did not show any of the local cats.

uno specchio ovale con un bordo elaborato di metallo

e ho dovuto fargli la domanda.

Giustamente è rimasto vuoto, dato che viviamo in una repubblica e non in un reame.

Però abbiamo un Marchese che gira per l'isolato alla ricerca di posti scaldati dal sole, richiede tributi e in cambio fa le fusa, e quindi ho provato a chiedere chi fosse la più bella *del marchesato*. Sono rimasta profondamente delusa dal fatto che lo specchio sia rimasto vuoto e non si sia messo a mostrare immagini dei gatti locali.
