This link is pretty interesting because they actually tried washing and hurting a bit samples of the various kinds of silk, and they describe what happens, what changes and whether or not it could be considered ruined depending on what the silk is used for.
(also, I'm deeply for CampWashSilkWithWater, btw, and also WhyBotherWithDryCleaningWhenYouCanAvoidIt)
How to wash silk
So there you were, browsing our silk fabric selection and dreaming up a fabulous new dress or pretty top, when all of the sudden your practical side burst in and said: But it’s silk… how will you ever wash it? Well, we’ve been wondering the same thin…Sartor

i.e. it works because other people are doing a lot of not-paid-by-google work to make it work :(
the same link on nitter, for convenience: nitter.net/UofUHealth/status/1…
When people tell you "Google just works" for them, this tweet nicely illustrates one of the reasons why:twitter.com/UofUHealth/status/…

Dear fediverse,
I'm running #transmission-daemon and I can easily see how much something has been uploaded, but not when that happened.
Does anybody know whether there is a way to get this latter info? ideally as a nice graph, but the raw data would also be fine, if available.
Otherwise, I guess I will just have to poll periodically and build my own data collection?
My usecase is this: for tails I tend to start downloading the new release and stop seeding an old release as soon as the new one is available, as running an old release is not a good idea, but for things like the debian live installer having the latest point release isn't that important, so I only download them when I expect to need them, and knowing that uploading has trickled down to zero lately would be a good hint that I can stop seeding them.

⚠️REMINDER: Only download Inkscape from trusted sources and be cautious about emails with links, even if they claim to be from the project. If there's any doubt go to the source. The latest, validated release will always be available for free on our website.
Boosts appreciated.

Verification achieved!
A normal link in the page body was sufficient, but it did require an actual edit of the profile info on Mastodon to take effect (just saving an unchanged profile is not enough to trigger the verification).

Che voi sappiate, esiste qualcosa per Linux che permetta di farsi un database di font (installati e non: Gimp usa anche quelli non installati) taggandoli in modo personalizzabile?
Per dire, il font sotto potrei taggarlo come "similrusso", e magari anche "spesso", e questo mi risparmierebbe un sacco di tempo a sfogliare un elenco di centinaia di font per trovare quello che mi va bene.

Con il mio background culturale questo font mi fa venire in mente più un frigo (di quelli con gli angoli tondi e il maniglione lungo) che un condizionatore…

CodeFest è il Festival della cultura del codice sorgente, della sua storia, del suo futuro. Organizzato da Codexpo.org e da UniTo
Oltre 30 eventi sul codice sorgente, online, completamente gratuiti.
Il Festival è aperto a tutti: al mondo della formazione e della ricerca (studenti, docenti, studiosi), a quello della programmazione (sviluppatori e imprenditori) e dell’arte (hackers, musicisti, dj, artisti visuali).
Ma soprattutto è rivolto al pubblico generale, ad appassionati e curiosi, a tutti quelli che hanno sentito parlare di codice sorgente ma non sanno bene cosa sia.
Registrazione e partecipazione tramite la piattaforma codefest2021.lynxlab.com

Giovedì 16 settembre il GL-Como torna a fare serate a tema: stavolta
l'argomento è lesana, un programma per gestire inventari di collezioni,
come libri, musica, componenti di elettronica, abbastanza versatile da
poter essere usato ad esempio per un issue tracker personale.
lesana è un programma da riga di comando ed una libreria python, e ne
esistono già un'interfaccia grafica scritta in GTK e un visualizzatore
web.
Saranno presenti gli autori di lesana e delle interfacce grafiche.
L'appuntamento è per giovedì 16 settembre 2021 alle 21:00 all'indirizzo
live.gl-como.it/view.html#GL-C…
dove saranno disponibili lo streaming e una chat per interagire con i
relatori.
Maggiori informazioni su lesana si trovano sul sito del progetto

PROCLAMA
Sento che alcuni malintenzionati traggono partito da misure militari e mosse strategiche delle truppe, per diffondere voci allarmanti ed indurre la popolazione ad atti inconsiderati, come per esempio a convegni in massa in singoli luoghi.
Mentre rammento, che gli autori e i propagatori di voci allarmanti incorrono nel rigore delle Leggi militari, esorto la popolazione a non lasciarsi fuorviare da simili rumori né indurre a siffatti passi inconsiderati, essendoché si sono già prese le più efficaci misure per mantenere l'ordine legale, e ristabilirlo, ovunque venisse turbato, per cui i trasgressori delle Leggi non potrebbero che imputare a sé stessi le gravi conseguenze della loro contravvenzione.
Milano, 29 maggio 1859
L'I. R. Tenente-Maresciallo e Governatore militare della Lombardia,
ANDOR MELCZER di KELLEMES
Dall'Imperiale Regia Stamperia

Everyone always says cats are liquids, but one of the chief qualities of a liquid is that it is incompressible.
But one quick image search for "If I Fits, I Sits" reveals that cats are far from incompressible and are thus something closer to a gas.

Se blocchi un utente, luilei non potrà più vedere le tue attività. Se lo silenzi semplicemente non ricevi più le notifiche delle sue attività sulla tua HOME, ma naturalmente se vai sul suo profilo vedi tutti i suoi toot normalmente. In pratica silenzi chi ti intasa la bacheca e blocchi chi ti sta sui calli.

"As for testing: We have "unstable" and "stable" repos, that is already more than a few volunteers can cope with."
Testing can (and should) be fully automate-able. Maybe 'plugwash' (@d.o.), the sole maintainer of raspbian.org repos, can help with that?
my preciooouuuuuuuuuus has arrived!
Thanks to a combination of coincidences, last week I ordered 50 garment labels in woven cotton (pictured above as they arrived from the german language shop, as a continuous strip, with the writing in white over a black background) with the hashtag #FreeSoftWear to sew on the garments I make for which a Free as in Freedom pattern is available .
Now I need to be better at actually writing compilationsewing instructions for the valentina patterns I put on my git repo, because right now they tend to be... obvious to a quite experienced sewist who already did something similar?

I've made myself a new pair of Rosalia Stockings.
It's my second pair (a few years after the first, because I got distracted), and this time I've solved the fitting issues with my first pair, so now I can make ALL THE STOCKINGS!
Mostly the pattern is symmetrical for the right and left leg, but my feet are very much not symmetrical, so I changed the stocking to be more pointy rather than square-toed.
It's made from the leftovers of a cut of black cotton jersey that I was using for something that was supposed to be a nightgown, but is looking more like a little black dress (yay for drafting my own patterns and always having predictable results :D )
Also, I've finally found a use for at least two repeats of a piece of plastic lace that I got for free from a shop more than a decade ago because it had been discolored by the sun (at strategically placed positions that made it harder to use in any kind of length). Also, have I mentioned “plastic”? I wanted to use it for something, but it's scratchy enough that I didn't want it anywhere where it could touch my skin. Here it's safely on the outside, it helps distinguish this pair from future pairs I'm going to make, and it looks nice.
