The 1880s sports jacket is done!
Well, almost.
I still have to add half of the hooks and bars, and I don't have enough (nor I could go to buy them today), so the front closure is a bit strained; I have ideas on how to fix it, and on how to do it better the next time.
Also the pockets still need a bit of reinforcement embroidery on the upper corners.
Also, I need to finish writing instructions and publish them.
However, the pockets are big enough to fit a postcard, which is quite fitting for #WorldPostcardDay :D and with some effort (not pictured) even a small watercolour pad / book to be able to do the victorian lady thing and take paintings while resting at the destination of the hike (yeah, right. as if I was able to draw, and I didn't just take pictures and trace those back home instead :D )
The towel and other necessary things go in the big pocket of the skirt, of course :D
And it needs a bit of washing and pressing after being manipulated for weeks, but the fit is better than it looks in these pictures, and I'm especially happy with the fit of the sleeve, which hugs the arm in just the right rest position, while also allowing a lot of movement.

Only I get to read the direct messages received at my instance but I have no control over who sees the direct messages I send to other instances.
So, again, until end-to-end encryption is mandated by the core protocol (ActivityPub), remember:
Treat all posts on #mastodon / the fediverse as public and use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app like Signal if you want to have private conversations with people.

in reply to DuΕ‘an MitroviΔ • • •I wish we had a universal standard but that's why technology is awesome! Lot's of different ways to do different things. No one is perfectly satisfied with a universal standard and there will always be someone who will complain.
It's why we have XMPP, Matrix and IRC. It's why we have ActivityPub, Pump.io and OStatus. It's why we have mp3, ogg and flac.
Not a single one is perfect on its own.

Awesome thing are awesome even if they aren't mainstream.
When I am going to choose what messaging app I would recommend for someone, I won't say Signal. Because when everyone switch to Signal, including people not interested in privacy, Signal can change their policy anytime.
Not mentioning that these protocols can be much more than just messaging.

If mainline Linux developers pull the rug the code is still somehow usable and maintainable outside of their power.
But if Signal starts being like Facebook you need to switch all your friends and people around again.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Is that really any different from any other social media platform? At least here I have a reasonable expectation that my data isn't being sold to corporations.
If you're concerned about your posts you can click on the globe icon below the message (may not be available on all instances) and choose from the list who can see your toot.

in reply to Karen E. Lund ππ • • •@Karen E. Lund ππ @ar.alπ» It's not even different from email.
In the 90s people generally treated email as a postcard, but it became so useful to assume that email would be secure, so perception shifted to allow email to be used for more things.
Something you can access with just your browser can never be secure from the web admin's prying eye.
