Meanwhile, yesterday evening I died. Or rather, they let me die. And by “let” I mean “piled monsters on me until I died, and then looted my dead body”.
And then on the next turn, with the new cards I had just picked I won.
I am thankful to @Diego Roversi for getting the cat companion when looting, however. It was just a +2, but it was a cat, and I didn't want him to go into the discard pile!

TL;DL: if you’re using rrdtool on a 32 bit architecture like armhf make an XML dump of your RRD files just before upgrading to Debian Trixie.
I am an old person at heart, so the sensor data from my home monitoring system1 doesn’t go to one of those newfangled javascript-heavy data visualization platforms, but into good old RRD files, using rrdtool to generate various graphs.
This happens on the home server, which is an armhf single board computer2, hosting a few containers3.
So, yesterday I started upgrading one of the containers to Trixie, and luckily I started from the one with the RRD, because when I rebooted into the fresh system and checked the relevant service I found it stopped on ERROR: '<file>' is too small (should be <size> bytes).
Some searxing later, I’ve4 found this was caused by the 64-bit time_t transition, which changed the format of the files, and that (somewhat unexpectedly) there was no way to fix it on the machine itself.
What needed to be doneinstead was to export the data on an XML dump before the upgrade, and then import it back afterwards.
Easy enough, right? If you know about it, which is why I’m blogging this, so that other people will know in advance :)
Anyway, luckily I still had the other containers on bookworm, so I copied the files over there, did the upgrade, and my home monitoring system is happily running as before.

There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!
At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.
But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.
I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.
If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

@chrisgj198 it's not down from here. Are you able to test with a 'traceroute' or equivalent?
There has been _some_ kind of a problem with routing to chiark recently. Several people have reported it, and I've noticed it myself, depending on where I'm connecting from. But the problem doesn't seem to be chiark itself. Rather, some router a few hops away from chiark has been suffering 80% packet loss. And not _everyone's_ routes to chiark go through that router. So some people get bad connectivity or none at all, and for others, it's fine. In particular, connecting from my home, I reliably have no trouble.
I don't know what I can do about that. @Diziet is chiark's actual sysadmin, and has a contract with the ISP hosting chiark, but as far as I know that ISP is not also responsible for the failing router – it's elsewhere in the network.

If there is one thing I wish I could take from Perl and give to the current hot languages, it's the importance of not breaking shit when you release new versions of stuff. If someone's code worked yesterday with your library, it should also work today after you add a new feature.
Yet, apparently, this is not the way we do code. We expect every developer to be so devoted to a random library that they keep track of all the breaking changes and are excited about them.
Please stop that.

I'm new to the @debian game.
I just saw in the documentation "Upgrades to Debian 13 "trixie" from the previous release, Debian 12 "bookworm", are automatically handled by the APT package management tool for most configurations. "
However, my debian didn't offer me upgrade in any way. Do I have to install a specific upgrade package?
Currently I'm using a standard installation based on KDE.
Or is upgrade only supported in gnome stock software packages?
Can anyone help? #Followerpower

If you are using the debian-installer-netboot-images somewhere: There is an errata entry for it. That package wasn't correctly updated and will be fixed soon after #Debian #trixie #debian13 is done.
(If you are a normal user, you aren't affected. Only if you build your PXE boot server using it you may notice this).
Meanwhile Image building and testing goes on, they are busy over there!
Update: Binary packages named debian-installer-13-netboot-<arch>
Elena ``of Valhalla'' reshared this.
While we all wait for the images to build and be tested and while the archive continues to be prepared so work on #forky can start (and #backports for #trixie can be done), how about some statistics?
Not the usual boring stuff like #package #numbers (MANY - 70753 binary packages from 34735 #source packages) or architecture space (lots, multiple hundred gigabytes per architecture), can find that in enough places.
How about this? The main #archive now has 54 suites (stable, testing, stable-backports, unstable but also the NEW queue are all suites). They all have 3 or 4 components (main, contrib, non-free, non-free-firmware) and can contain up to 19 different architectures (#trixie has 9 of them). Those suites are split over 9 archives - the public ones are those you see in the #Debian mirrors as different parts of them, others are purely internal functionality (NEW queue, buildd for example).
Curious for the #security archive? That has 17 suites in 5 archives.

I’ve collected some more Standard Compliantstickers.
Some went on my laptop, of course, but some were selected for another tool I use relatively often: more pattern weights like the ones I blogged about in February.
And of course the sources:
I have enough washers to make two more weights, and even more stickers, but the printer is currently not in use, so I guess they will happen a few months or so in the future.
@Oblomov I'm not going to change laptop, this one is still pretty new (to me)!
other than that, probably make more pattern weights, as I can always print more? :D (I'd need to get a new box to keep them in, as the current one is full, too :D )
The laptop lid is covered by a vinyl sheet, so in theory I could remove it, put a new one on and start again, but I don't think I want to do anything like that (the vinyl sheet was put in place by the shop that I've bought the — reconditioned — laptop from)
Also, saving stickers for a future laptop is of course an option.

Wiki also has a paragraph about the word origin: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorenb…
It's 3AM, I'm on-call, and my phone is ringing.
There's a burst of violet light from next to me. It arcs over me, and impacts against the magic circle around my phone.
I pick up the phone and answer "Hang on a tick." I give my sleeping wife a small nudge, and she mutters something in Latin, and rolls over.
"Toby here. What's broken?" I resume on the phone.
"Hi Toby, Anthea from the call centre. We've got an alert on Sirius12 - system load above predicted limits for over two hours."
"Hi Anthea. That should be OK, we set up some new processing rules, and it will take a couple of nights for the system to recognise the change. If you get the alert tomorrow, don't call, but if it happens after Wednesday, do call."
"OK, Toby. I'll make a note in the Tzzbrzzhgga Nil hzzthrg Grrzght!"
I roll back, and nudge my wife again. When she's asleep her magics sometimes get a bit feisty, and they interfere with the 4G signal. She turns over again.
"Are you still there Anthea?"
"Yes, what happened, I started hearing the strangest voices."
"You were probably hearing Charlotte's dream. Don't listen, and don't worry about it."
"Charlotte? Dream?"
"Yeah, look up the wiki entry about calling me. It's all in there."
I should know, after I cleared it with Charlie, I put it in there. There was a pause, presumably while she read the entry. "A witch??"
"Yep, and if the mobile gets too close when she's dreaming it picks up bits of it. Only her dreams are more like astral interventions, and you really don't want to listen in to those. There can be unpleasant side effects - for you."
"Are you having me on?"
"No, you can check in with my boss and HR. They know."
"..."
"Give me a call if there are any other problems. Good night Anthea."
I hung up, and cuddled in to Charlie, and tried to go back to sleep.
I'm a sysadmin. I manage a corporation's servers along with a team of eight. And my wife is a powerful witch. Really powerful. So all the electronics around the house are in magic circles to protect them from when she's asleep. I went through five phones (three mobile and two landline) before we got that sorted.
She's sort of a magical troubleshooter. That's how we met. She was dealing with a haunted server room. I was managing the servers. I really did have a ghost in my machine. She laughed at my jokes, and I didn't laugh at her work.

Yesterday I had been reading yet another late Victorian tailoring manual, and this morning I was telling @Diego Roversi about the part when the author claims that there are some measurements that would be useful do draft certain garments, but a (male, of course) tailor can't take them on a female customer, and there are ways to guess them. But at least in one case, he suggested doing the obvious thing, and just ask the customer to have her husband or maid take the measure.
And I commented that everybody who was buying cycling or riding trousers from a tailor was living with a husband, or a mother, or a sister, beside having a maid.
Unless she was unmarried, and only had brothers, and her mother had died (while giving birth, of course) and she was running her father's house because he had not remarried yet.
Or even, she was unmarried, only had brothers, she was running her father's house because he didn't want to remarry and she was quite happy with the situation because she didn't want to marry herself but wanted to keep living with that very close friend (but just a friend!) who had been living in their house for quite some time now. But then, her not-a-lover could very well take her inseam measurements.
Things escalate quickly, right?

I might be slightly insane? Or am I going to prove something about the nature and accessibility of sewing and MYOG1 as a hobby?
I love my modular backpack, but it has a very modern look that is maybe not the best thing when otherwise dressed in historybounding dress, and it’s also a bit bigger than I planned or needed it to be.
So, when one of the shops I buy from had some waterproof cotton canvas on sale I failed my saving throw against temptations and bought a few meters, with the intent to make myself a backpack in a different style.
It needs to be a backpack, because my back doesn’t like asymmetrical bags2, and as far as I know 19th century backpacks weren’t the most comfortable things, so I decided to go for a vaguely timeless roll top model that has the added advantage not to require a lot of hardware for the closure, just a few D-rings.
Leather straps would look cool, but also require some tools that I still don’t have, so I decided to look for some cotton webbing, and when I finally found some in 25 mm and 50 mm width I could finally start on the project.
Except for one thing: thread. As much as I believe that regular n°50 cotton thread got a bad reputation from sellers who decided to cut quality in favour of profit, it is not up to the task of sewing a backpack. Nor that I’d use regular sew-all poly thread either.
I do have some of the thread I used for my other backpack, which would have been strong enough, but it’s also in black, which isn’t exactly the look I was aiming for on the natural / ecru colour of both the canvas and the webbing. I also misremembered it as only being available in that colour (it isn’t), so I wasn’t tempted into doing a full online order of technical materials just for that.
On the other hand, I did have in my stash some strong thread I could trust for this job, in natural / ecru. There was only one problem: it was 33×2 Tex linen, and not suitable for the sewing machine. You can’t handsew a backpack.
Or can you? Of course it’s going to be much slower, but I’m still in a situation where I have more time and space for handsewing than I have for machine sewing. And as for strength, my perception is that for the same stitch length an handsewn backstitch is stronger than a machine lockstitch, or at least it is more effort to unpick (and thus harder to accidentally unravel if the thread breaks).
And so I tried.
And it worked.
Having to backstitch everything instead of being able to use a running backstitch of course meant that it was slower than other sewing projects, and any time there were more than two layers of fabric I had to use the stabbing motion rather than the sewing one, which is even slower, but other than a few places with many layers of both fabric and webbing it wasn’t hard.
And to be fair, the seams were fewer and shorter than other sewing projects, and with the usual interruptions and uneven time availability it was done in less than a month, which is somewhat typical for one of my handsewn projects.
It may have been because of the pattern, but I think it’s relevant that it was also easier than other backpacks I’ve made, with significantly less cursing, even when doing seams that would have been quite fiddly when sewn by machine.
I have to admit that now I’m tempted to plan another backpack using the same pattern or a slight variation, sewn by machine in a different fabric, to see the difference in the time it takes and to check if the changes I think would make it easier to sew by machine are actually the right thing to do. But maybe I’ll wait a bit, other projects are in the queue.
The pattern is as usual online, released as #FreeSoftWear.
Having used it for a while, I have to say that it is just the right size to fit all the things I usually carry,
The fact that it only opens from the top means that finding things that have fallen to the very bottom involves a bit of rummaging, but not having to change a zipper every few years when (not if) it breaks is also very nice, so I’m not sure which shape of backpack I prefer.
The soft back of course is an issue when the backpack is filled with small items, but the molle webbing is there exactly because I have plans to solve it, beside the trivial “put something flat towards the back”.
As an object, I’m happy with the result. As a project, it was way more than successful, exceeding all expectations, especially for something somewhat experimental like this one was.
