In a while we're probably going to live in a house with AC (as well as radiator-based heating)
This morning as I was watching @Diego Roversi get dressed at a record-setting speed I asked “so, what are we going to do? turn the bedroom AC on for 10 minutes in the morning to get dressed? It's probably not going to be worth the effort, is it?”
his answer: “yes.”

Però il cappello, fateci caso, la testa è sempre calda, quindi perde molto calore.
@Rinaldo Giorgetti @Spazio ☮️🌈📖 @Diego Roversi @Luca Sironi già, però sulla mia testa ci sono anche i capelli lunghi, che un po' aiutano a trattenere il calore
fuori casa rigorosamente cappello e/o cappuccio e/o varie ed eventuali, quello sì
(di cachemere credo che facciano più che altro maglioni, la lana merino viene usata per le magliette termiche perché è molto morbida a contatto con la pelle)

The candles at the points of the pentagram flickered. A demon appeared.
"Do you do Black Friday deals?" the conjuror said.
"What?"
"Like, unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures, for less than my soul?"
"Actually, it was five souls, but today it's only one."

"I'm sure it's a typo."
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)

E grazie all'anonimo lavoratore che cambiando i tubi del gas ha rotto metà dei pagamenti elettronici in Italia, oggi abbiamo usato un *assegno*.
(per pagare dei servizi, non dei prodotti in offerta per il black friday)
(ed erano servizi che erano stati prenotati ad inizio mese, ben prima che si parlasse dello sciopero di oggi, e c'erano delle scadenze legali (una domani, e una due settimane fa, uooops), per cui non potevamo rimandarli così per solidarietà)

mi sono accorta di essermi dimenticata di assaggiare il campione di Gold Blend McEntee: quando ho aperto la busta le foglie avevano quasi profumo di caffé
poi avevo bisogno urgente di un té e quindi ho sbagliato a puntare il timer e non so quanto tempo sia rimasto in infusione, per cui non posso ancora fare confronti con gli altri (uooops, fortuna che il campione non è monodose), ma in generale sembra approvato anche questo, nella categoria amari e risveglianti.

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. 🤗

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

I've just declared sock mending bankruptcy.
(I'm talking about thin cotton ones, not thicker wool ones I've knit)
* 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:
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.

Never mind this. My advice is simply to get some old reliable machine. It is also way cheaper.

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.

Where to Buy Books Other than Amazon
A few years back I had a habit of every six months or so doing a thread on Fedi about options for getting books other than Amazon. Eventually it finally occurred to me that I could write it once, put it up on website, and update as needed, rather than constantly reinventing the wheel.
Here’s the updated version for the new site.

Today I've put this mirror on one wall
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.

Oggi ho appeso questo specchio al muro
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.

Things that fit on a Yaris and don't require a truck, number 23124: 6 square meters of 1 cm thick wood planks of the type used to cover walls or ceilings

a nifty chip that is! this version will also support floppy disk emulation mode by letting us control the direction of the two-level shifters. An additional GPIO expander provides the 4-way button interface, which we will use for offline disk imaging.
