I'm using the solar oven for the first time this year, even if the temperature is still cold-ish (<15Β°C) and windy.
The oven has reached almost 70Β°C, even if the wind blew the cover and for a while the temperature fell down to 30Β°C or so. I hope that the jar is reaching even more.
I'm baking apples, so whatever happens they are likely to be good (and safe to eat).
And now I should leave the computer and start sewing the fabric + mylar cover I've been postponing sewing for⦠years, I suspect.

Too late, the sun is going down, the #solarOven is back to 50Β°C and the apples have already been moved to the haybox so that they remain warm until dinner.
But you can get a high quality picture of the haybox, taken with a pinephone, where you can also see a bit of the oven
(And yes, βhayboxβ means βrandom box from an online store, with shredded paper packaging material from another online store", and later I topped it up and wrapped the box in a blanket)

Testing of De Atramentis #inks continue.
I've finally finished the Pelikan 4001 in my preppy #fountainpen, and filled itΒΉ with the De Atramentis Document Black
On good paper the lines are slightly wider than the Pelikan 4001, but still reasonable, and it writes nicely (a bit scratchy when reverse writing, but I don't think I can expect anything else when reverse writing on a japanese EF :D )
Then I tried on a bit of the worst printer paper I had around, and I can say βit worksβ. I could see the line getting wider as I writed, but the result isn't bad.
I also needed a test of the red, so I used a dip pen (with a flexible nib)
and these are the backs of the samples above, with some ghosting, but bleedthrough is really happening only when I flexed the nib.
And now, I need to find the strength of mind to wait until I have finished at least a bottle or two of other inks before buying the whole De Atramentis Document series :D (also, nope, that's way too expensive to buy at one time :D )
ΒΉ not a full converter load, because I don't use it enough
like this
Isn't the salix from Rohrer and Klingner? I have their scabiosa (their purple-ish IG ink), but all IG inks aren't really waterproof as much as water resistant (i.e. what has been written will survive contact with water, but some dye can leak, and thus they can't be used e.g. with watercolours)
also, IG inks aren't completely lightfast, again a potential drawback when mixing them with watercolours β or when writing labels that are exposed to the light :D
Neither is a problem when writing letters or inside a notebook, of couse.

I've had a fix!
I've found the right incantation to enable the right agps on the #pinephone to get a fix in a reasonable amount of time (it was almost instantaneous, but the phone had been outside with gps but not agps-msb enabled for quite some time)
The script I've used to enable everything is:
#!/bin/sh
mmcli -m any --location-enable-3gpp
mmcli -m any --location-enable-gps-nmea
mmcli -m any --location-enable-agps-msb
mmcli -m any --location-status
mmcli -m any --location-get(of course the last two are just to see that everything is setup correctly).
Now, I need to find out why Maps believes that the location services are disabled, and Settings is telling me that they are enabledβ¦

For some reason, I had to send a screenshot to a friend, and the context was #pinephone related.
So (after I had sent the serious screenshot done with import from ImageMagick) I took my pinephone, opened the Megapixels app, took a blurry picture of the screen, opened dino-im (which does not really fit in the screen yet, since I'm still using the packaged version in #mobian), tried to send the picture, realized that the 15+MB .tiff file would have been blocked by the server, opened the terminal, installed imagemagick, converted the .tiff in jpg, sent the jpg with dino-im, and of course it was rotated 90Β° from what I expected it to be.

I've been using only mobian because I'm otherwise involved in Debian, but I have a friend who has been distro-hopping a bit and they also agree that mobian is currently the best.
They also say that manjaro + plasma looks nicer and feels closer to android, however, even if it works slightly worse, which can explain why they chose it as the default image (I guess also hoping that by the time those phones will reach their customers it will have improved too)

A few days ago I was looking at some scraps of bark from what will become a new distaff and parts of my new backstrap loom. Then I was looking at the white wool on my other new distaff.
And well, this happened:
currently sitting on the balcony, wrapped in black fabric for at least one week, and I'll see what happens.
From what I've read, I suspect that the worst (but quite likely) thing that can happen is some shade of pink.

compared to pretty much all the alternatives, yes. It's the Democracy of OSs - the least worse. There is, of course, plenty of room for improvement and thankfully there's a large, smart group of people with the ability to do so and diverse motivations and intentions (which is the best we can hope for). Similar to functional democracies (as opposed to faux- or dysfunctional democracies).

Casual reminder, out of nowhere, that no, we are not entering a new decade on January 1, 2021. Decades don't work like that. If we called it "the 202nd decade" it would. But decades start on the 0 year and end on the 9, because we don't count them ordinally..(In the same way, the 1900s and the 20th century are slightly different!)
no. the first decade started on 1 and ended on 10.
The 0s only had nine years, it happens.

My shiny newΒΉ #solarOven, waiting for the sun to reach it.
Sadly I only have direct sun in the afternoon, so I can't cook lunch with it, but I'm making solar cooked apples for dessert this evening.
It's made of lasercut plywood with aluminium foil on one side, plus acrylic glass to completely close it, and easily disassembles flat. I still need to make a fabric cover (with a mylar layer sandwitched in) for added insulation, to make it perform a bit more like a box oven, while still having the portability advantages of a panel one.
ΒΉ FSVO new: I've had the panels laser cut just before the lockdown, but it took me quite some time to fix some model errors and apply the tinfoil.

Dear #rpg playing fediverse,
I haven't played any rpg for more than a decade because of LackOfGroupError, and now I've been vaguely thinking it could be a good time to try to start one campaign via jitsi/videoconferencing.
Any recommendation on a game system we could use? Is Fate the current freely licensed cool things to do? (also, where does one start from for that? core? accelerated? condensed?) or is there anything else I should look into?

Thanks for both answers!
We have a jitsi server (where we do turn the webcam off for regular chat nights), but then I realized that on the same server there is also mumble, we've just not really used it :D
OTOH, I think that the ability to turn the webcam on as needed can be useful.
For dice, it depends on how much the people involved will be fine with going for a storytelling-heavy approach (then we could keep the fun of rolling physical dice with the webcam on and trust each other); if they prefer a more D&D approach we'll probably need an app.
I'll look also into fiasco

But even when he came back; it was made without clarification, disambiguation: just imposed out of the blue.

There were formal rules of civility, esr didn't live up to them, so he wasn't welcome.
It just shows that rms got away with so much more, including violating the code of conduct at a LibrePlanet, before he had to go.
And yet he's still allowed back at LibrePlanet, that's the first shocker, and on top of that he takes that opportunity to announce that he's back at the FSF, which is even more unbelievable given the number of people who have spoken out about how this would harm the FSF and free software.

in reply to David Revoy • • •I'm sorry to keep this going, but that's not factual. Things were clarified and disambiguated, first by himself and then to great length by others. Only the clarifications and disambiguations didn't get any of the attention nor the bloodlust of the bashing and accusations.
And I don't understand why "imposed out of the blue". This was the result of an election, a result which was unsurprising given the circumstances under which he was forced to resign, and the support he enjoys. People accuse his supporters of being fanboys, but it's the haters that have taken social media by the storm with battle cries, while his supporters have for the most part tried to bring facts and arguments to the discussion, and sent mentions of support directly to the FSF (to my knowledge numerous, at least considering the people i know) sometimes for fear of mob attacks.

Stallman wasn't pushed out by one incident, his departure was the climax of years of people saying that his opinions and actions outside free software philosophy and development were a distraction from the free software message and causing harm to the image and mission of the FSF and the free software movement.

It is unfortunate some of what he does is holding back the credibility and progress of the movement.
He is less suitable as a leader in the 2021 environment than he was in the 1985 environment, and it is unfortunate that some people still brought him back to a leadership position.

in reply to David Revoy • • •Nobody is claiming RMS is a saint - he even jokes about that himself, as you probably know - but it is a fact that he left the board because about a year ago he was accused with lies and slander about personal views he discussed on an issue whose seriousness he did not belittle and whose victims he did not blame, opinions he had respectfully issued in a friendly forum (a "safe space" in modern jargon). And that this is not the first time people misrepresent his controversial - but not evil and not even ill-meaning - views on social issues. Please see, if you haven't yet (sorry for not introducing them earlier, had to dig this up from year old mail archives):

Unfortunately, those lies and slanders have not been reflected upon at all by the accusers and are at the heart of the renewed attacks. In a more honest, respectful and humane community, this could have led to a productive discussion about his ideas and behavior, for which he is actually known to have retreated in some cases, and more importantly a discussion about our culture and how it embeds us with perspectives that the guillotine only silences but doesn't solve. Instead, what we have is a hard-line mob-rule mad-hatter witch-hunt smear campaign against an individual, that only detracts from our common cause, divides us and crystalizes oppositions, and profits our common opponents.

Even if you would be an psychologist, such a "remote diagnostic" is not reliable. So please don't try to do so. In this case it doesn't matter, even if a person is autistic they dont have to act like an a***. Ask some autistic people you know ;)
A founder or important person to the movement can be very important to it and his/her behavior has a big influence how (in this case) the open source movement is seen in the public.
I personaly think rms should do at least an apology and sign some sort social - code of conduct, but better he should resign and give his replacement an good start and support him/her and they also should invent some real control power in the fsfe. That would show some true greatness. But I am afraid he is not able to do so.

All of you are confusing personal bias with actual facts, attacking RMS for a behavior which is probably spread over the 90% in whole IT industries at any level.

I think this is the real point.
