I'd propose a coordinated, monthly maintenance window. That sends a combined signal "We are all down today because we make things better for you". With an online community of helpful admins helping their online neighbours to fix issues without being pressured to reduce downtime to absurd minimums. Would also give users a day to do other things, like going out and meet people :)

@Giorgia Mecojoni signora Presidente del Consiglio, volevo porre alla sua attenzione una conseguenza forse inaspettata delle continue proroghe degli sconti sulle accise, ovvero l'affollamento dei nostri distributori di benzina da parte di extracomunitari¹ con auto di grossa cilindrata che fanno rifornimento coi nostri carburanti.
Cosa che tra l'altro risulta essere un comportamento ancora più contro natura di una relazione amorosa omosessuale: da tempo immemore la tradizione era che fossimo noi a recarci da loro ad acquistare carburanti economici.

I keep seeing a lot of advice for writers saying "don't use this, don't use that" because it will show up as AI written.
I hate it. It makes me worried. A lot of the "AI" traits in writing overlap with storytelling language. Spoken language.
When I write, as a storyteller, I use em dash when I would take a breath or a pause on stage, instead of finishing a thought. I use triple adjectives because in spoken word they add to the rhythm.

@Whiskey a gogo @Vespa cartolaia in questi giorni mi è venuta una curiosità (se potete dirlo senza violare NDA o simili): i punti di ritiro dei vari corrieri in generale sono pagati un fisso, oppure c'è (anche) un tot per ogni pacco gestito?

in realtà no, non c'è un fisso, ma veniamo pagati a cottimo.
Ogni pacco viene risarcito (il prezzo dipende dal corriere e dal servizio) anzi, spesso il fisso c'è, ma è per noi; ovvero dobbiamo pagare un fisso annuale per poter avere il servizio.
Ovviamente ai corrieri conviene perché recapitare quanti più pacchi possibili ai punti di ritiro, per loro è un risparmio di tempo, chilometri e logistica. Quindi posso abbassare i prezzi al pubblico. @rapitadaglialieni

They are edge cases under highly constructed preconditions. Yes, not impossible, but unlikely to be ever encountered.

"AI" has never been a descriptive word, it's only ever been a catch-all term used by sci-fi authors (a bit like saying "FTL drive" or "sensors") and, starting in the 70s or 80s, marketers. It's sole purpose is to obscure what is being referenced, useful in fiction so you don't actually have to come up with such details, also useful in marketing so you don't have to tell people what's in a "meat" sausage.
I am starting a petition to no longer refer to AI "art" as AI art, but instead as Computer-Rendered Artificial Pictures (CRAP).

Dear people who make #corsets
I'm making myself a pair of lacing strips to use when fitting in-progress corsets: the corsets themselves will usually have eyelets every 2 cm, should I also put eyelets at the same distance on the lacing strips for accuracy, or do you usually make them with less eyelets?

@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua no real need for a machine that does that, with typical corsets (front busk opening, back laces for adjustments) you only lace them once, it takes maybe 10 minutes — if like me you can't recognize your left from your right — and then you only have to pull on the strings in the right places to make them tighter or looser

Today is a great day to learn about Debian.
It's far from perfect, but by golly once you learn it it's pretty sweet. Highlights:
- Everything is transparent, sometimes painfully so
- Debian isn't a company
- You still have
apt, sodebpackages still probably work - Flatpak makes desktop use easy
- Hate updates? Debian only releases a major new version every two years.
- Nobody is ever, ever, ever going to sell you "Debian Pro"

I guess it's time for a bit of a #sewing update
project “making a corset in anger” is very slowly proceeding: I've adjusted and printed the pattern, and marked and cut 5 panels out of 12 in a grey herringbone coutil.
I still have to decide which boning I want to use, and how to make the boning channels: maybe later this afternoon I'll climb¹ to where I keep the corsetry materials and decide.
Oh, and this one is going to be sewn by machine. Shocking, I know :D
The week before this one was quite productive on the victorian vampire shirt, and the front, yoke and back were almost done, except for adding the collar. And then this morning I woke up realizing that I had attached the front wrong, and the front slit would have gaped open. One side has already been unpicked and resewn correctly, the other side is ready to be done as well. And then I should start working on the sleeves (as opposed to hemming the wrist ruffles, because I didn't want to have to think, only sew).
And then there are the slippers. Or rather the second pair of soles I wanted to do *now*, to repair the old ones, so that the next time the ones in use break down I already have a new pair ready. Those. Yeah, I'm thinking about working on them. (and also on the second pair of hiking slippers I'll probably need, but don't have a real deadline for. but a deadline may spring on myself with little advance warning, and I should be ready for it)
And then this week I've also dug up the pattern for the corset cover I made ages ago, and started to bring it up to date so that I can make a new one and publish the pattern on my website, that's also going well (but I probably won't start sewing it until I've finished the corset).

And then yesterday I realized a thing.
Most of the coutil I have is either black or white (actually, I'm out of white, but bear with me). Of course I always have a big spool sewing thread in both black and white.
But this time I used the *grey* coutil.
It's easy to see where this is going, right?
(some grey sewing thread has been ordered during the weekend, and should have been shipped today)
E poi ieri mi sono resa conto di una cosa.
La maggior parte del coutil che ho in casa è o bianco o nero (in realtà ho finito quello bianco, ma non ha importanza). Ovviamente ho sempre delle spolette grosse di filo per cucire sia bianche che nere.
Ma questa volta ho usato del coutil *grigio*
Si capisce dove sto andando a parare, vero?
(del filo per cucire grigio è stato ordinato durante il weekend, e dovrebbe essere stato spedito oggi)

sewing thread has arrived yesterday, it's not a 100% match, but good enough.
all panels of the corset have been cut.
quality time has been spent with Sybil and a bottle of oil (it had been a while since we've properly spent time together)
next step: inserting the busk
Oblomov reshared this.
il filo per cucire è arrivato ieri, non è del colore identico, ma abbastanza simile.
tutti i pannelli del corsetto sono stati tagliati
ho passato del tempo con Sybil e una bottiglia di olio (era un po' che non passavamo tempo assieme come si deve)
prossimo passo: inserire la chiusura davanti
Oblomov reshared this.
busk inserted! (and then there was dinner. and stuff. it didn't take three hours, more like less than one)
chiusura inserita! (e poi ci son state la cena e roba varia. non ho impiegato tre ore, ma meno di una)
this morning I started basting the panels.
a) this coutil is pretty soft, it's pretty easy to sew. And of course my brain is all “why are you wasting time doing this, you could be sewing it by hand and be done with it!“, but I'm resisting
b) I forgot to mark the panels with “forbid flipping” in valentina, and about half of them were flipped and I didn't realize it. Not a big deal for most of the pieces (I had to attach the ones marked left to the right half of the corset and vice versa), and the only one for which it was a problem was the facing, so I could just attach it with the wrong side of the fabric showing and it's not a problem either, since it's on the inside of the corset.
Now I've fixed the pattern file on the website.
Oblomov reshared this.
stamattina ho iniziato a imbastire i pannelli.
a) questo coutil è abbastanza morbido e facile da cucire. E ovviamente il mio cervello è partito “perché stai sprecando tempo così? potresti cucire a mano e via!”, ma sto resistendo.
b) mi sono dimenticata di impostare “forbid flipping“ in valentina sui pannelli, e circa metà era stata stampata ribaltata e non me ne ero accorta. Per la maggior parte dei pezzi non è un grosso problema, ho solo dovuto attaccare quelli che avevo segnato come destra sulla parte sinistra del corsetto e viceversa, e l'unico per cui avrebbe potuto essere un problema andava comunque all'interno, quindi anche se si vede il rovescio della stoffa non è un problema.
Intanto però ho sistemato il file sul sito.
Oblomov reshared this.
The corset is assembled and boned.
What is left for tomorrow are binding and lacing eyelets, and then it's wearable.
Then I'll start working on the flossing *right now*, instead of postponing it.
There have been quite a bit of handsewing (or rather basting) moments, so the vampire shirt has stalled a bit, but I think that there will be time for it intermixed with the corset flossing.
Next week I may work on the corset cover? I've completely stopped working on it, and the pattern still need a tiny bit of refinement.
As for the slippers, we don't talk about the slippers.
Il corsetto è assemblato e ho messo le stecche.
Domani rimangono ricoprire i bordi e crimpare gli occhielli, e poi è indossabile.
Dopodiché inizierò a fare i ricami funzionali sulle stecche, *subito*, non rimandato alle calende greche.
C'è stato un bel po' di lavoro a mano (imbastitura, soprattutto), quindi la camicia da vampiro è rimasta un po' ferma, ma credo che ci sarà tempo per lavorarci inframezzato ai ricami del corsetto.
Settimana prossima magari prendo in mano il copricorsetto? Non ci ho più guardato e il cartamodello ha bisogno di qualche piccola rifinitura.
Quanto alle pantofole, qui non parliamo delle pantofole.

Wearable! being worn!
I was worried that it may be a little *too* lightweight, but no, it still feels good. It did show a few wrinkles, but they came from the camisole underneath, and when I pulled that they went away (yes, this coutil is lighter than others I've used).
Before this evening I want to start making the flossing on at least one boning channel, but right now I'm still wearing the corset so I can't do that :D
rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua reshared this.
Indossabile! indossato!
Ero un po' preoccupata che fosse *troppo* leggero, ma no, la sensazione che da è buona. C'erano un paio di pieghettine, ma alla fine arrivavano dalla canottiera che c'è sotto, quando l'ho tirata un po' sono sparite (sì, questo coutil è più leggero di quelli che ho usato altre volte).
Prima di sera voglio fare i ricami funzionali almeno su una delle canaline, ma adesso sto indossando il corsetto, e quindi non lo posso fare :D

I currently only have one corset that almost, but not quite fits: it's a couple cm too low on the bust level, and after a few hours it starts to hurt. On the other hand, when I start feeling bloated on my first day of the cycle, wearing a corset helps *a lot*.
So yesterday I decided “tomorrow I'm going to work on making myself a new corset”
so I headed to the directory where I expected to find my corset pattern. and it's not there.
I could find a preliminary version of the file I was working on, which I think (hope!) has all the points, but not the actual pieces. And I don't want to have to re-draw those.
And I think I've found the latest revision of the measurement files, hopefully.
And then I remembered that inside my computer there was the previous hard disk, disconnected. So today I turned the pc off, disconnected all cables, opened the computer, connected the old hard disk, reconnected most cables, turned the pc on, checked that it was actually starting the right system (it was), turned the pc off, disconnected all cables, closed it, reconnected all cables, turned the pc on, mounted the old hard disk.
And found that that hard disk was too old. and didn't have the repo I was looking for.
Then I realized in my home I had the files from my old, but not so old laptop. I found one more commit to the corset pattern. it's still not complete.
I'm still searching. there are various hard disk around the house.
(I also have at least two, dated, copies of the paper pattern, so at least I know what date I'm looking for. but they are not very useful if I want to fix the issues and publish the pattern on my website)

on the plus side, I've just recovered from said hard disk the installer for an old indie game that @Diego Roversi has been playing later

back to plan A: doing something useful with my time this evening :(
Okay, well, this is why we can’t have nice things. Time for a letter to Moleskine explaining why I won’t be buying from them again and why marketing AI art to artists and writers is bad, and a letter to Leuchtturm explaining why I’m no longer buying from Moleskine and how I’m fully prepared to stop buying from them if they ever do this.
But also?? This is a legitimate collaboration with “Lord of the Rings”! I will have to investigate this too. WTF, people??
(FYI, because I’m an unapologetic blank paper hoarder I still have several blank Moleskines and several more in progress, so if you see me using them in my photos, that’s why)

Una domanda per chi fa masto #giardinaggio o masto #orto
noi abbiamo delle cassette (se non ricordo male lunghe 80 cm) sul terrazzo con dentro piante (mirtillo e in minor misura succede alle cassette coi pomodori): da qualche giorno abbiamo iniziato a trovare delle voragini (buchi di ~10 cm di diametro) scavate nel terreno, e oggi abbiamo individuato un merlo come colpevole.
Ipotizziamo che abbia trovato qualcosa di buono e vermiforme / larviforme da mangiare
ora, la prima domanda è: fa male alle piante? oppure se rimettiamo a posto la terra quando è stata spostata possiamo stare tranquilli?
e se invece per le piante è un problema, consigli su come fermarli?

Per mia esperienza il merlo è onnivoro e tenace, germogli e la qualunque trovi sul suo cammino hanno il destino segnato.
Io rimediai con reti di protezione, poi quando le piante sono adulte, qualcosa riesci a salvare.... ma con l'arrivo dei frutti ricomincia la battaglia.

@Vico interessante, l'anno scorso ai frutti non si erano particolarmente avvicinati (ma neanche alla terra, del resto)
Perché (forse) non era roba compresa nel loro raggio d'azione o possesso.
Gli animali delimitano risorse e territori.

@more_word confermo. Quando fruttifica ti serve una rete, quindi inizia ora. Io con i pomodori in passato ho avuto problemi con la volpe: ho messo pollina sotto le piante ( con piume e tutto quello che esce dal pollaio). Il giorno dopo la volpe ha controllato ogni pianta, che non ci fosse sotterrata una gallina morta. Ora ho soltanto piante di noci che crescono dappertutto, e i tassi e ricci che non riescono a eliminare le lumache.

I quite like my new fancy #fountainPen, I've loaded it with my go-to ink, and I've been using it semi-regularly.
But then last week I had to fill a couple of forms, in public, and when I got my pen from the beg I started to feel self-conscious and start to worry that maybe normal people aren't going to realize that it's a 16 € pen and not an expensive one, while the transparent plastic of the Preppy should show its price point quite more.
And I very much don't mind being seen as *that* person (the pen snob that won't lower themselves to write with a tool that isn't perfectly selected for their tastes), but I really don't want to be seen as *that other* persn (the pen snob that won't lover themselves to write with a tool that didn't cost at least a few hundred EUR).

I use them at my office (I'm a lawyer) so I suppose I don't mind being pretentious, but in my experience most people, especially older people, are so excited to see it. "Oh wow, is that a fountain pen? Do you fill it with ink? Can you still buy them? I haven't seen one since school!"

@Guido Dotti mah, spero che qualcuno che è disposto a rubare un oggetto che pensa valere svariate centinaia di euro sia anche quel tanto competente da capire che quella penna non è tra quelle
magari non tanto competente da distinguere un falso montblanc fatto bene, ma almeno una Plaisir su cui c'è scritto Plaisir dovrebbero sapere che non è roba rivendibile cara.

This post contains a bit of consumerism and is full of references to commercial products, none of which caused me to receive any money nor non-monetary compensation.
This post has also been written after eating in one meal the amount of bread-like stuff that we usually have in more than 24 hours.
I’ve been baking bread since a long time ago. I don’t know exactly when, but probably it was the early 2000s or so, and remained a regular-ish thing until 2020, when it became an extremely regular thing, as in I believe I bake bread on average every other day.
In the before times, I’ve had a chance to bake pizza in a wood fired oven a few times: a friend had one and would offer the house, my partner would mind the fire, and I would get there with the dough and prepare the pizza.
Now that we have moved to a new house, we don’t have a good and convenient place for a proper wood fired oven in masonry, but we can use one of the portable ones, and having dealt with more urgent expenses, I decided that just before the potential collapse of the global economy was a good time as any to buy the oven I had been looking at since we found this house.
I decided to get an Ooni Karu 2, having heard good things about the brand, and since it looked like a good balance between size and portability. I also didn’t consider their gas fired ovens (nor did I buy the gas burner) because I’m trying to get rid of gas, not add stuff that uses it, and I didn’t get an electric one because I’m not at all unhappy with the bakery-style pizza we make in our regular oven, and I have to admit we also wanted to play with fire1.
We also needed an outdoor table suitable to use the oven on and store it. Here I looked for inspiration at the Ooni tables (and for cheaper alternatives in the same style), but my mother who shares the outdoor area with us wasn’t happy with the idea of steel2. And then I was browsing the modern viking shores, and found that there was a new piece in the NÄMMARÖ series my mother likes (and of which we already have some reclining chairs): a kitchen unit in wood with a steel top.
At first I expected to just skip the back panel, since it would be in the way when using the oven, but then I realized that it could probably be assembled upside down, down from the top between the table legs, and we decided to try that option.
This week everything had arrived, and we could try it.
Yesterday evening, after dinner (around 21, I think) I prepared the dough with the flour I usually use for bakery-style pizza: Farina di Grano Tenero Tipo 0 PANE (320 - 340 W); since I wanted to make things easier for myself I only used 55% hydration, so the recipe was:
- 1 kg flour
- 550 g water
- 2 g dry yeast
- 12 g salt
The next time I think I’ll try with one of my other staples: Molino Bogetto etichetta blu (260/280 W)
Then this morning we assembled the NÄMMARÖ, then I divided the dough in eight balls, put them in a covered — but not sealed — container3, well floured with rice flour and then we fired the oven (as in: my partner did, I looked for a short while and then set the table and stuff), using charcoal, because we already had some, and could conveniently get more at the supermarket.
When the oven had reached temperatures in the orange range4 I stretched the smallest ball out, working on my wooden peel, sprayed it with water5, sprinkled it with coarse salt and put it in the oven.
After 30 seconds I turned it around with the new metal peel, then again after 30 seconds, and then I lost count of how many times I repeated this6, but it was probably 2 or 3 minutes until it looked good.
And it was good. The kind of pizza that is quite soft, especially near the borders.
We ate it with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes, and then made another one the same way, to finish the mozzarella.
This was supposed to be our lunch, but we decided to try one with some leftover cooked radicchio, and that also worked quite nicely.
And finally, we decided we needed to try a more classical pizza, with tomato sauce and cured meat, of which we forgot to take pictures.
Up to here we had eaten about half of the dough, and we were getting full: I had prepared significantly more than what I expected to eat, to be able to accidentally burn some, but also with the idea to bake something else to be eaten later.
So I made two more focaccias with just water and salt, and then I tried to cook some bread with what I expected to be residual heat.
Except that the oven was getting a bit too cold, so my partner added some charcoal, and when I put the last two unflattened balls right at the back of the oven where it was still warmer, that side carbonized. After 5 minutes I moved them to the middle of the oven, and turned them, and then after another turn and 5 more minutes they were ready. And other than the burnt crust, they were pretty edible.
So, the thoughts after our first experience. Everybody around the table (my SO, my mother and me) was quite happy with the results, and they are different enough from the ones I could get with the regular oven.
As I should have expected, it’s much faster than a masonry oven, both in getting to temperature and in cooling down: my plan for residual heat bread cooking will have to be adjusted with experience.
We were able to get it hot enough, but not as hot as it’s supposed to be able to get: we suspect that using just charcoal may have influenced it, and next week we’ll try to get some wood, and try with a mix.
As for the recipe, dividing the dough in eight parts worked quite well: maybe the pizzas are a bit on the smaller side, but since they come one at a time it’s more convenient to cut and share them, and maybe make a couple more at the end.
Of course, I’ll want to try different recipes, for different styles of pizzas (including some almost-trademark-violating ones) and for other types of flatbread.
I expect it won’t be hard to find volunteers to help us with the experiments. :D
- any insinuation that there may have been considerations of having a way to have freshly baked bread in case of a prolonged blackout may or may not be based on reality. But it wasn’t the only — or even the main — reason.↩︎
- come on! it’s made of STEEL. how can it be not good? :D↩︎
- IKEA 365+ 3.1 glass, the one that is 32 cm × 21 cm × 9 cm; it was just big enough for the amount of dough, and then I covered it with a lid that is missing the seal.↩︎
- why did they put a thermometer on it, and not add labelswith the actual temperature? WHY???↩︎
- if you don’t have dietary restrictions a bit of olive oil would taste even better.↩︎
- numbers above 2 are all basically the same, right?↩︎
