What's obvious to basically everyone in the industry but is probably surprising to everyone else is that twitter is a harder problem than getting a rocket to the moon. One of these problems only involves physics, the other involves humans.

With the update of @dino to 0.3.1 in #debian, the functionality on small screens such as #pinephone running #mobian ... did not work so great.
The version uploaded to debian experimental, allowed resizing the different parts of the window a little bit, but still often hid useful information...
So I refreshed the libhandy patches!
Packages available from:
people.debian.org/~vagrant/deb…
The "UNRELEASED" repository is signed by my key in the debian-keyring.
Have not tested much, but works for me!

@tom
Yes, that's where the patches originally came from.
I don't currently have a git repo with the patches applied, but should be able to "git am debian/patches/handy/*.patch" from the unpacked .dsc
Or... I'll just push a branch somewhere.
@tom
Pushed a couple branches to:
salsa.debian.org/vagrant/dino-…
The handy-v0.3.1 branch is based on the upstream v0.3.1 tag with the handy patches applied
There is also the debian/handy-0.3.x branch, based on of the debian/0.3.1 tag with the handy patches applied.
The patches are only slightly modified from the feature-handy branch in dino upstream, and not all are applied.
Really need to get small screen support working upstream sooner or later, as I do not like maintaining forks!
I was shocked and offended by the fact that neither units nor qalc (the command line programs) know about the talent unit of weight.
except I was wrong, units *does* know about the talent, but only the Attic and the Aeginetan ones.
It's still missing the Babylonian one, which is the one I was looking for, but nevermind.
(also: 90 kg for an axe? 60 kg for the blade of a dagger? 300 kg carried by one person? I can see how one needs to be two thirds god to use this kind of equipment :D )

Serata del 17 ottobre: self-hosting git
Come ogni giovedì di recente, anche il 17 novembre ci troveremo online
per la consueta chiaccherata serale: questa volta però abbiamo un tema:
il self-hosting git, ovvero come non dipendere da github, gitlab e altri
big per pubblicare il proprio codice.
Il piano della serata è ritrovo alle 20:30 su
meet.gl-como.it/GL-Como , convenevoli e breve cazzeggio e alle
21:00 precise precise si entra nel vivo e ci si scambiano esperienze e
consigli riguardo all'argomento della serata.
Non è detto che se ne faccia niente, ma partecipando si autorizza la
registrazione della call e la sua eventuale pubblicazione nel caso in
cui esca qualcosa di potenzialmente interessante anche per altri.
(ovviamente la parte cazzeggio prima delle 21 è esclusa dalla
registrazione/pubblicazione)

After the dotcom bust 20 years ago, there was a shift away from attempts to turn the Internet into a portal owned by a single company (AOL, Yahoo, etc) using incompatible and proprietary tech, in favor of open standards.
This spawned a heydey for things like self-hosted blogs, RSS and XMPP powered by Linux. People rejected lock-in and embraced the benefits and freedom open standards brought. Even Big Tech embraced these standards.

More #mastoAdmin stuff. You can improve the accessibility of links on your instance with this custom CSS to enforce an underline. Colour alone can be problematic for some people.
Like my previous post about the Toot! button, this goes in System Settings -> Appearance -> Custom CSS.

text-decoration: underline;

Yes! I provide this accommodation and others over at a11y.social
I don’t have a VI, but prefer the underline. Posts loaded with # and @ can be a bit busy visually, but the tradeoff is worth it.

1) Do not eat any food offered to you. Should a single grape or morsel pass your lips, you may find the path behind you has vanished and around your throat, a collar of servitude, to be worked off over thousands of years in the Dream Mines.
2) Do not give your true name. A name has power. Only use your true name in a DM to me, the only one who can cast the wards required to protect you in this realm. Be sure to attach a lock of your hair, electronically.

3) Hashtags: what are they? Nobody knows. They seem to grow here and can be safely consumed, but was them first to remove their powdery outer layer.
4) Do not fear the howling. It's just the "music of the night" and it's a regular feature. After a while, you won't even notice it .
5) Do not embrace any strange but attractive individuals who seem to be lounging near bodies of water. They have hollow backs, which is where they store souls.
elastane. aka the Bane of Humanity.
Mind you, I admit that elastane in knits is pretty useful, and it helps them do what it's in the nature of knits to do.
But wovens. wovens are supposed to be dimensionally stable, not elastic!
And who in their right mind has *ever* thought “this silk satin would be better if it had a bit of elastane in it”???
(I only had to cut a square, and I had to measure it something like 12 times)
like this
Maybe you can make the same for elastane.
the problem isn't that it shrinks or expands in a consistent way. the problem is that, being silk satin, it shifted and moved as if possessed. and when I tried to pull on it gently to try and get a straigth line, the elastane would stretch, and then shift even more when I released it.
And it's not like it's doing anything useful.

Problems, problems, self-induced #sewingPersonProblems.
I've done the last machine seam on the flannel shirt¹, but I want to use the same blue thread to sew a pair of linen trousers for my SO. He's not going to wear them for a few months, of course, but I want to see if the pattern is correct, so they are high priority.
However, my mother has just finished a filet crochet yoke for a nightgown that I'm going to make in linen for myself. Again, not something that is going to be worn any time soon², but it's a quick sew and it will allow me to know how much leftover linen I have for another project. But it needs a different colour of thread in the machine.
The sensible thing would be to sew the trousers during the next week, and then sew the nightgown. Luckily it's also the lazy thing, so that's probably what I'm going to do.
Can you guess how much I'd want to change plans and start with the nightgown? :D
(there will be pictures of everything mentioned. one day. :D )
¹ lots of handsewing remains, but that takes a different time slot.
² unless I decide to wear it as a chemise, but even then in winter I don't really need a linen one.

On a more serious note: I still have to edit a few step-by-step pictures and write an introduction, and then the pattern for those jeans will be ready for publishing.
And I've also started to cut the fabric for the nightgown, AND wrote the instructions I plan to follow while sewing it, so that I can take pictures and then publish also that pattern.
The yoke part will have a lot of “and then magic happens” however, as I have no idea how to write a crochet pattern.

@freesoftwear I've been writing some crochet patterns lately (stuffed toys) and it was basically 'write down what I do in a way that I will understand later, and then hopefully one day sort it out into a form other people can make sense of too'.
My current project (a heron) lacks instructions for the hard bits though, where I magicked a lot...

The nightgown is also finished, except for taking pictures of the last step and finished object, as the light had gone as I was sewing.
Which means that there will be no publishing of the pattern today, either.

Hey, anarchist instances?
You can close registrations for a day or so to go through new accounts and deal with suspicious ones. And you should.
That's not un-anarchist to take time to deal with your spaces before admitting new folks. It's actually helpful to keep people safe and your community healthy.

@perigee @joenepraat It's kind of wild, but if you reframe it as "guidelines" (which, in my experience, seems to make people think about it as "I should do this, but there are moments where we need to do something else")?
It seems to make people recognise the function and purpose. Rules feel like things written down and given to us from people who think they're above us; guidelines seem to feel like flexible things that we should do but may have reasons not to. They also feel a little bit more collaborative in development and more negotiable. Perhaps that can help alleviate that pain!
Now that the corset top is done, I've resumed working on the flannel shirt, as I'm probably going to need it quite soon, weatherwise.
Yesterday evening I had planned to flat fell the sleeve seams, instead I've finished hemstitching the collar to the wrong side, and attached the back to the yoke.
Today I want to do the side seams by machine, as that's the last machine seam, and everything else will be done by hand.
The pattern is sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/… , with a flat front instead of the pleats.

The stays-inspired corset top is done!
It's made from an old pair of jeans, spray painted with sparkling blue fabric paint and bound with black bias tape.
I've used some paracord for lacing, but I think it isn't sparkly enough, and will probably look for something else in the stash.
Worn over a skirt and petticoat the tabs do something funny, but that was just to be decent while taking the pictures, if worn *below* the skirt they should do their jobs.
Of course it is quite wrinkly, since it's unboned (there are just zip ties on both sides of the eyelets), but I'd say it works quite well a) as a costumey fun thing done with things I already had home b) as a general idea that I've cut the right size of the pattern and can proceed with cutting the real thing (and then properly fit them according to the instructions).

reshared this
Now I have a question for people who wears stays: how do you put them on? For these I've made them fully front lacing, and it's easy to just lace them after they are on the body, but the real thing is supposed to lace only on the back: should I train myself to pass a cord through the eyelets in my back?
The lace is supposed to be only as long as needed when the stays are fully closed, right? there is no additional length that can be used to put the stays on and then only need to tighten them, right?
Or am I doing it completely wrong?
reshared this
I don't have a back lacing set (yet) but my cord is much longer than the required length when closed. I always lace them up loose and then tighten.
The extra length just gets tucked inside anyway.

I look behind a lot of CWs--and I unfollow a lot folks who constantly post about news, politics, religion, or other triggering topics that don't use them.
CWs keep our feeds from becoming anxiety-inducing avalanches. They stop doom scrolling.
And they do this without "turning off" or "tuning out" the significant challenges we all face as a society, or the unique challenges marginalized people face.

A CW in no way relegates your post as some kind of "second class" content. It lets people actively consent to reading whatever you are posting.
If every thing you post seems to need a CW, consider broadening the scope of what you post. Become a human person instead of content aggregator.
