This morning #tea failure was forgetting to set the timer while it was brewing.
luckily I wondered about it after a reasonable amount of time and it is still drinkable (and the bread didn't burn).

Il fail nel preparare il #té di stamattina è stato dimenticarmi di impostare il timer mentre era in infusione.
Per fortuna me ne sono accorta dopo un tempo ragionevole ed è ancora più o meno bevibile (e il pane non è bruciato).

I've just bought a product from a company with headquarters in Viale Bom, Varese.
I'm quite sure those headquarters are in Viale Borri
Oh, and the address is written between two horizontal lines, and it goes beyond the line.
I guess that the “Design and Quality by <brand name>” doesn't extend to the packaging :D
Ok, tomorrow I'll take and post pictures.

Sono abbastanza sicura che quella sede sia in Viale Borri.
Oh, e l'indirizzo è scritto tra due righe orizzontali, e sfora oltre la fine delle righe.

Today I've had a chance to notice that we (western societies) are sending off our textile waste to another continent, where at least some of it gets probably¹ shipped to China to be processed into felt to protect the floor when painting the walls, and then shipped back to us.
Why aren't we doing this anymore in Prato²? It could even be done by Chinese nationals, there, but at least it wouldn't travel halfway around the world and back!
¹ I have no idea whether that's the origin of that textile waste, maybe that felt was using textile waste from China itself, but still.
² an Italian town with a long tradition of textile industry, historically including textile recycling. These days it also has the second biggest community of Chinese nationals in Italy, most of them working in textile workshops, not always up to even Italian standards of workplace conditions.

@(zerouno) sì, se ne riparla periodicamente, e tra chi si fa i vestiti si tende a parlarne ancora di più.
Ma è difficile fare qualcosa che abbia veramente un effetto, come individui.
(Rammendarsi i vestiti ha tanti buoni effetti ed è un'ottima pratica da consigliarsi a prescindere, anche se difficilmente ha un vero impatto sul problema)
@Kermode definitely
I'd expect not enough people are painting their walls to use all of the textile waste that gets produced.
Even if those felts were made of a polyester and cotton mix that probably comes from some of the worst garments for recycling (at least if one considers both the ease of recycling and the mass)

For all the thousands of posts I've seen on the Fediverse about "alt text or I won't boost" or that take even harsher stances, and the dozens of posts taking a more encouraging stance... why the hell isn't anyone talking about the Fediverse's content warning problem?
So many instances require content warnings for explicit or violent images... and so many artists just say "NSFW Image."
My dude, my pal, my bro... I'm not clicking that. Is it art? Is it real person porn? Is it gay or het? Is it a naked body or is it anal sex? Is it bdsm? Vore? Monsterfucking?
IDK. It's "NSFW Image."
It's like playing Russian roulette.
Content Warnings aren't content warnings if they don't tell me what the content is.

Do me a favor.
Quit making fun of people (of any age but especially kids) who ask genuine questions.
I have to pull questions out of adults now because at some point someone made fun of them for being curious.
It's not embarrassing to learn, you shouldn't feel guilty for thinking of a question and asking an expert.
You should feel happy that you are still curious about the universe.
Make learning a positive experience? Please?

I'm pretty glad to teach the few things I know to whoever genuinely ask, but I think "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" must be a mandatory reading.
It is *evident* that the fact that the living room table is covered in bits of cardboard and bookbinding paper means that I'm cleaning up my desktop, right?
As in “making a small chest of drawers to store some of the samplers and small containers of ink that I currently have in a mess on the desktop” :D
The current status is that 3 out of 4 drawers are done, one is nearly done, and the structure to put them in needs to be redone from scratch, because my measurements have been way too optimistic and the drawers don't fit :(
But I've started to put some of the ink samplers in one of the drawers, and those are fitting just fine. Also, *all¹* the colours!
¹ actually just above half of the colours available in that line of ink

Unsure if I've ever shared my personal philosophy here, but it goes: "People are going to look, so give them something to fucking look at!"
I developed it when I was younger and visibly goth and queer, possibly even more so than now. People stared but I was always without a doubt the most interesting looking person on that bit of street, so I couldn't fault them for it! And anybody who had issues with it could see just how little I cared to hide.

@0xdariaj I don't feel like messing with taking it off and putting it back on, so I just always have one on when I'm somewhere. The easiest place to properly put it on is at home and sitting down! Usually my excursions are not that long anyway (I get tired) so it's not an issue to wear the same mask.
It's just nice to dress nice, too! It's not exactly armour, but it's better for morale to face small difficulties if you also look great. 😆
the world needs more recreational programming.
like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?
no, but it was the most fun to write.
reshared this
cause like, yeah, it's good to know how to write optimal code and how to make it elegant and easy to maintain, sure!
but one thing you have to maintain is your brain. If you're constantly driving your programming brain at maximum speed, maximum awareness of all possible caveats and vulnerabilities, always considering "how will I maintain this code in ten years time?" you're going to burn yourself out.
You're associating programming with a high-stress high-attention activity. That's going to make programming something that's categorized in your brain as no fun, never relaxing, never something you do just cause it would be interesting... you're going to start dreading it, even just a little. "oh well, let's get this over with."
That's not a good way to think about it in the long run.
we often say that programming is more an art than a science, but we need to treat it like one too.
Sometimes you need to paint a sunset not because someone paid you to paint a sunset, but because it'd be fun to paint a sunset.

Dear lazyverse, I've just read blog.prosody.im/great-invitati… and prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_inv… and I don't understand one thing: can this be used to generate an invite for an user that already exists and has been using the account for a while, but needs to reconfigure an xmpp client on a new phone?
of course they don't know their password, but I would have to reset it from prosodyctl anyway.

Adding a new device via invitation is not currently a thing. Password resets links (which work almost the same as invitations) are.
Generate a password reset link with this command:

I haven't extensively tested it with clients or invite UIs beyond Snikket, though. Feedback welcome 🙂

Girl Genius has a new kickstarter out, to print the next volume
kickstarter.com/projects/girlg…
for those few who don't know, it's a great steampunkish #comic that has been running for years and is published online at girlgeniusonline.com/ and then on paper, funded via kickstarter one volume at a time.
And usually there would be no need to promote them or anything, they have enough devoted followers that they fund on first day, but this time they have a pretty high stretch goal to be able to print *two* volumes at the same time, and it would be really, really nice if they did manage it!

per quei pochi che non lo conoscono, è un #fumetto steampunk che va avanti da anni, pubblicato online su girlgeniusonline.com/ e poi su carta, un volume per volta finanziato su kickstarter.
Di solito non ci sarebbe il minimo bisogno di fargli pubblicità: hanno abbastanza lettori fedeli da riuscire a finanziare la stampa il primo giorno, ma stavolta hanno aggiunto uno stretch goal per riuscire a stampare *due* volumi allo stesso giro, e non sarebbe per niente male se ce la facessero!

I've found out what the issue with the #tea shop was: they had to restore the website from backups and some user got stuck in the process.
I've now procured more tea (by preparing a list on the website, printing it out and going to the shop. yes, it's close enough that I could just go there without visiting the website. I could.)
@Naomi P do you want some tea? I'm making an herbal one, since here it's evening, but it can turn into whatever you want during the internet trip :)
Ho scoperto qual'era il problema col sito del negozio di té: hanno dovuto recuperare il sito da backup e qualche utente è rimasto incastrato nel processo.

#sewing update
the corded petticoat is done! And today I expect to finish the hem on the chemise (I'm almost halfway through it), so there will be some cutting fabric time this afternoon, and that may be either the lining for the #AugustaStays or the cartridge pleated skirt.
aaand the chemise is also finished!
and then I just didn't have the energy to do anything that required concentration like cutting fabric, so I just did a bit of lucet
(the 3 metre piece has been finished yesterday, now I've started a 1 metre piece for the front lacing)
e ho finito anche la sottogonna!
e poi non avevo le forze per fare qualunque cosa che richiedesse attenzione come tagliare stoffa, quindi ho fatto solo un po' di cordino a lucet.
(il pezzo da tre metri è stato finito ieri, adesso ne ho iniziato uno da un metro per l'allacciatura davanti)

Getting to the laundry place 5 minutes before it closed on Saturday morning to give them 4 heavy-ish carpets to wash (while they were still on the car rather than having to walk there while carrying them later). done.
(we called when we got on the car, to ask whether it was ok, and the owner of the place knows us well enough that there wasn't any time consuming procedure, we just dumped everything in there and then she will deal with them when she opens next week. but still, it felt wrong.)

#sewing update
The cording on the petticoat has been completed, I'm now doing the vertical seams (hopefully today), and then I have to gather or pleat or something the top and it's done.
I'm cutting a second attempt at the pyra case: I've cut almost everything, but I've just misplaced one of the fabrics I want to use. The inventory says it's in the box I've been looking for it.
I've printed almost all of the hexbin Standard Compliant pattern weights, I've cut enough felt for all of them (I think, I didn't exactly *count*), and I've been using the first one and it works nicely. It's a good excuse to buy new washers the next time I'm at the shop, right?
Related: if you have recommendations for places in Europe that print small amounts of hexagonal #stickers and don't require me to provide a multi layer PDF file (or a tutorial on how to make those with inkscape or other Free Software) I'd be happy to hear about them :)
And thanks to a couple of movie nights¹ at my mother's I'm close to the 3 meters of lucet cord I plan to use for the back of my Augusta Stays. That I still need to cut lining for, why do you ask?
¹ 17:30 - 19:30 or so counts as night, if you're watching a movie, right? :D
it had fallen to the bottom of the box
(I keep fabric vertically in the box so that I can see all of it at a glance, but this one was especially slippery)
era caduta sul fondo della scatola
(ripongo la stoffa verticalmente nella scatola in modo da riuscire a vedere tutti i contenuti a colpo d'occhio, ma questa era particolarmente scivolosa)
@Kermode nope, too little time for work that requires active concentration
sewing, and especially handsewing are more compatible with those times when the brain wants to switch off :)

@debacle @valhalla I think it's almost always a good idea to define each acronym the first time it is used, in any kind of document.
In this case, bits.debian.org/2024/04/bits-f… is a fairly long text with "DPL" mentioned more than 20 times. Writing it out the first time would not take much space, and would help make the text a little bit more welcoming to newcomers.

If #xz were a Go or Rust dependency, you wouldn’t have a single copy of xz library on your system, but many, #xzbackdoor hidden in every executable that uses it. Distros would have to rebuild all packages using that lib (not just the lib itself), which could take days or weeks, and users would have to update them all, downloading tens or hundreds of megabytes.

@Aleksandra Fedorova :fedora: @ITwrx @Neal Gompa (ニール・ゴンパ) :fedora: @kravietz 🦇 @Jakub Jirutka 🇪🇺🇺🇦 and even for single person projects, having a packager in each main distribution that isn't the upstream developer is a big plus, as it provides a minimum of oversight and redundancy.
Not much, especially when said maintainer(s) are overworked and demoralized, but still better than nothing.
Yes, that is an important point too.
When we say co-maintainer, we often implicitly assume that it should be an equally or comparably skilled person doing the same tasks.
And then we stop at a thought on how hard it is to find a duplicate.
While it doesn't have to be.
There is plenty of room for a developer to collaborate with a tester, or a packager or a build engineer, or a documentation writer.
It often can be healthier too.

I'm taking a break from historical #sewing to make myself a case for the Pyra¹ that I've just received (YAY!).
Which means working with technical materials.
Which means that two needles have already been broken, and I've just decided to sew the raw edge binding by hand, even if I know it will be painful, because I don't want to deal with another fiddly seam by machine.

My heart goes out to xz. A single maintainer, who was clearly in a rough place with mental health, screaming out to the world for some help and additional contributions, and somebody shows up wanting to help. Could you imagine how happy that maintainer was? They were no longer alone.
And it turns out the only reason somebody wanted to help them was nefarious. I can’t imagine how they feel right now as everyone is blaming them. I hope they’re ok.

So, Philipp Kern dropped by asking if we could do some #ReproducibleBuilds verifications of recent Debian Security updates, given, well the whole #xz mess... and that our build infrastructure may have run compromised code at some point...
So I did a quick pass at a handful of updates and everything verified ok so far, though I skipped some of the probably more juicy targets such as chromium and firefox:

Asking people who use #screenReaders: what is the best way to add #AltText to a QR-Code? Are the screen readers clever enough to recognise it as such and offer to read the contents or follow the link? Does putting the content of the QR-Code in the alt text help? or would it make it worse, especially if it is an URL?

#sewing update? sewing update!
I suspect that the body of the shift is a bit too wide at the top, but I haven't tried it on yet to find out. It's only missing a hem at the bottom, and then it's done, however (and I'm sure I can adjust the width so that it is wearable anyway).
I haven't done anything on it (nor on the #AugustaStays), however, because I've spent most of my sewing time on the corded petticoat, because *I want to know* whether it will work and how it will look.
And I'm happy to report that I've just finished the next to last section of cording, only 3 more 3-metre-long seams and then I can finally start on the assembly.
aggiornamento sul #cucito? aggiornamento sul cucito!
Sospetto che la sottoveste sia un po' troppo larga sul busto, ma non l'ho ancora provata per esserne sicura. Manca solo l'orlo in basso, e poi sarebbe finita (e ho fiducia del fatto di poter sistemare in qualche modo la circonferenza in modo da poterla indossare comunque).
Però è un po' che la ignoro (così come sto ignorando le Augusta Staus), perché la maggior parte del mio tempo-cucito in questi giorni è stato passato sulla sottogonna cordonata, perché *voglio sapere* se funziona e che aspetto ha.
E sono felice di annunciare che ho appena finito la penultima sezione di cordonature, mi mancano solo 3 cuciture da 3 metri l'una, e poi posso finalmente iniziare la costruzione.
