E intanto in lombardia gli slot vaccinali ci sono, ma la gente non ci si iscrive :(

se avevo qualche senso di colpa per essermi fatta vaccinare anche se lavoro da casa, beh, non ne ho più.
like this
Poi “ci sono gli slot” non vuole necessariamente dire che siano la settimana dopo e non dopo tipo un mese.
Però insomma, non si è più in una fase in cui pensare di essere vaccinati è un sogno remoto.
A qualcuno in zona como / varese interessano due o tre forni solari a pannello di cartone e stagnola?
Li ho fatti per provare forme diverse e li ho usati per qualche mese, funzionano, ma nel frattempo me ne sono fatta uno di compensato per cui non li uso più e ho bisogno di liberare lo spazio.

is an excellent blog post describing what you should use instead.
It also describes a feature to restrict a gpg key to a specific repo (available since apt 1.1):

Uno dei posti da cui di tanto in tanto compro cose online sembra avere una sola misura di scatolone (enorme), da loro non riesco ad avere bisogno di così tante cose da riempirla, e di consequenza mi son trovata con un grosso sacchetto pieno di chip di mais da imballaggio, quelli che si attaccano assieme con l'acqua.
Ora, a parte farci modellini, che però non farò mai, e una volta fatti rimangono comunque ad occupare spazio in casa, c'è qualcosa di utile e pratico che ci si può fare?
L'alternativa è provare a sentire conoscenti di conoscenti se hanno bambini dell'età giusta per giocarci (ma tra i conoscenti non ce ne sono, che io sappia).
BTW, I feel I should mention that of course I'm also leaving freenode, you can find me on both Libera.chat and OFTC.
I may still be on FreeNode for a few days, to help with the ongoing migration of one channel, but if you need to contact me it's better to use one of the other two.

ugh. libre-#$$@#$-office.
I've looked into it and it's because the package has a Recommends on unoconv (converter between LibreOffice document formats), which in turn Recommends the whole suite.
I've found that apt install --no-install-recommends gnome-books brings down the dependency list to a much more reasonable size. (of course, some features of gnome-books will be missed, notably all those that relate to dealing with office formats).
Disclaimer: I had to work with uno (accessing libreoffice from python programs) and I got traumatized by the experience :)

* one tiny bit of kneadable eraser

kneaded together for a while, applied with a toothpick over an #SMDjumper

New shirt!
Sewn by hand, pattern by Bernadette Banners on youtube with minor changes (all of the non-historically accurate details are mine).
Light blue (with a purple tint) shirting that I bought a few years ago, so it counts as stashbusting, right?
Worn tucked in
and loose, with a belt (I guess it can be worn without the belt, but I don't think I like that look)
It is pretty long, almost reaching to above-knee lenght.
Also, is it me, or am I accidentally ending up with a pidgeon breast look even when wearing things from a different era?

It’s Saturday, so you know what that means!
I am once again asking that you start your own instance. Just do it. Control your own data, make your own rules, and choose what you see. It’s fun. And as the Fediverse scales horizontally, we will each individually hold a larger stake in the network.
Again, if you are having any trouble, please (!) feel free to reach out to me. I will be more than happy to help you out with whatever problems you have.
Set it up on a server that is yours or will be yours
- fediverse.express/ (online installer)
- yarrps.xyz/ (a helpful install script)
- docs.pleroma.social/backend/in…/ (official installation instructions)

Even if you put ecological destruction and so on aside, it makes the target on their back bigger. Payment service providers are regulated in a lot of countries. The regulators in the EU will probably want to know who sends money to whom. It’s a good excuse to block and/or raid signal.
Dear fediverse: do you know of any online shop in Europe that sells food-grade paper packaging such as bread bags in quantities suitable for the needs of a household (a min quantity of 100 pieces is fine, 1000 is not, 10000 is definitely way too high)?
Excluding amazon / ebay / other big platforms.
Thanks, and boosts welcome
Gentil fediverso: qualcuno conosce dei negozi online in Europa che vendono imballaggi di carta per alimenti, tipo i sacchetti del pane, e che vendano a privati in quantità adeguate a privati (acquisto minimo 100 pezzi va bene, 1000 no, 10000 è decisamente troppo)?
Che non siano amazon / ebay / altre megapiattaforme.

I have never retracted anything, nor I intend to do so. As one of the first signers I stand behind what is written in the open letter.

PSA: quando bevete il caffé, coinvolgete i vostri figli piccoli con una tazzina di caffé d'orzo con la schiumetta sopra.
così, quando da grandi si troveranno a non poter bere caffé (o a doverlo ridurre drasticamente) per motivi di salute, avranno una bevanda calda di cui apprezzano il sapore perché gli ricorda l'infanzia, anziché doverlo cacciar giù con disgusto mascherandolo con latte e simili.

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating
someone like a person” and sometimes they use
“respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated
like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t
respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like
an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and
it’s not okay.

Dear @David Revoy after reading this I also will stop to follow you.
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. We reached the point to decided if it is better mobbing RMS or closing on eye over GAFAM that every day besides making the world a worst place is injecting moneys in the open source and free software space. I think this is the real point.

I'm using the solar oven for the first time this year, even if the temperature is still cold-ish (<15°C) and windy.
The oven has reached almost 70°C, even if the wind blew the cover and for a while the temperature fell down to 30°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.
like this
Too late, the sun is going down, the #solarOven is back to 50°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, “haybox” means “random 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 it¹ 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 “it works”. 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 )
¹ not a full converter load, because I don't use it enough

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 — or when writing labels that are exposed to the light :D
Neither is a problem when writing letters or inside a notebook, of couse.

in reply to rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua • •the amount of *-ism in that book is just as can be expected from a book of the early 1800 that is meant to be used when teaching the poor so that they can become exploitable domestic workers.
But then, it was the early 1800s, it's not like one could expect anything better.
And for people who are interested in historical clothing, it's full of useful bits.
