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

Pay someone else to host it for you

If you're annoyed by the shit #Signal is doing, don't switch to the next centralized thing. They all tend to go bad after a while and you can't do anything about it. Use decentralized messengers instead, like #XMPP, #Matrix or #Deltachat. Federated protocols like them can't add features unless a lot of people agree.

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.

Grazie, e i boost sono graditi

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.

I hope that is clear enough.

(I deduce from your messages that you cannot reconcile this with what I wrote in the message that started this thread. And I can live with that.)

I'm still curious as to what it is that you agree with that article when it comes to getting behind criticism of the open letter, while also standing behind the letter. it sounds a little contradictory to me, and I expect your stating what it was that you criticized would have made it clear, but I get and respect that you won't wish to specify what the criticism you also partially undersigned was, and prefer to leave it up for speculation. I acknowledge and appreciate the self-criticism you imply with this combination of actions. o-o

Please, /please/, don't make /only/ videos, y'all! Make text articles too!

Text is even /easier/ to make it's just /always/ video

always

Not everyone can do videos. Especially long videos that we're expected to Sit Down And Focus Entirely On which means engaging speech parsing AND we can't easily back up and reread things like we could text and we /can't slow down/ like we could text and we can't skim like we could text and just

there's often /no point/ to it being a video and we /can't/.

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.

(grazie mamma)

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.

Sunday, I was happy to give a talk at the FSF #LibrePlanet, wearing the Tshirt I designed for them (photo). But later that day, Richard Stallman announced his return to the FSF's Board of Directors. In this situation, I'll no longer invest my energy for them... 😿

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.

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.

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 enabled…

to buy matching ribbon during a lockdown, no, one must make it from self fabric. finicky, slippery, self fabric.

And then they reopen the shops in advance, but meanwhile the hat is almost done

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 90° from what I expected it to be.

Definitely ready as a daily driver, right? :D

(btw, this is just me being silly, it's not ready, but things *are* improving)

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).
