@gemlog you are in Canada :D I live in a technically subtropical climate :D

(also, it's still the middle of the night over there, right?)

(-4°C is on the colder end of what we routinely get, nothing unusual, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to get outside without gloves and use water based glue right now :) )

Sunrise has happened

I could get up from the chair and go outside to do things

(checks the temperature, it's -4°C)

maybe I'll wait another 30 minutes :D

(it's 8:30 here, and sunny enough that I expect the temperature to go above freezing soon-ish)

(0.25 l / 1 gallon * 2 pounds) to g

needed to write no person living in a sane world ever.

Alla serata del @gl-como stasera abbiamo trovato il nuovo sistema di init successore di systemd: puntarellad!

e abbiamo anche i sorgenti di puntarellactl:

#Puntarella

@gemlog yeah, sorry, I published the article in a way that meant that the links in the rss were broken, and friendica didn't get the fix

the links are now correct on the blog:

this morning:

me: @diegor , you are legally the head of the household, right?
diego: yes, why?
me: and this means that you have power, right?
diego: [looks at me with a suffering air]
me: [hands him an alarm clock with a dead rechargeable battery] this needs some power, thanks [runs away]

stamattina:

io: @diegor , tu sei ufficialmente il capofamiglia, giusto?
diego: uhm, sì?
io: e quindi tu hai del potere, giusto?
diego: [mi guarda con aria sofferente]
me: [gli passo una sveglia con la batteria ricaricabile scarica] questo avrebbe bisogno di un po' di potere, grazie [scappa]

@gemlog no, I don't think that there is a club or something about historical clothing in this area (there are some reenactment things, but they are focusing mostly on other aspects), but I believe that a number of people here on fedi do know about historical accuracy

and I don't care about having it, since I'm basically making clothing for day-to-day wear, but I think it's important to say what is accurate and what is not, for people who are reading this and may have reason to care

(and yes, the shirt does need something around the waist, be it a belt or being tucked in in a skirt)

TFW you are sewing a skirt, with various meters¹ of fabric on your legs, and need to check your notes², and you know that you've updated them somewhat on the laptop, but you're on the PC, so you git pull and. timeout.

the VPS³ where you have the git repository is down. and you could sync directly with the laptop, but you're here under various meters of fabric and the laptop is over there, turned off, on the other side of the room!

or you can complain on the internet until the VPS is back :D

(and find out that you didn't push your commit from the laptop)

¹ we don't do those “90 cm cut of fabric, good for a skirt here. it's ankle-length at the very least, and finished circumference at the hem above 3 m or GTFO
² what will become instructions on my website
³ contabo, if anybody is wondering

Meanwhile in Bisuschio (near en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Ci… )

And yes, it was indeed full of books (it's the size of the typical small #littleFreeLibraries )

@lasiepedimore conta come cosa buona di Salvini o di Vannacci?

anche se credo che si possano chiamare LVI entrambi, quindi non è che abbia importanza

TFW you're walking around the house carefully holding a syringe¹ and they ring at the door.

thankfully it was for a somewhat spammy catalogue of frozen food delivered at home, and I didn't have to actually *open* the door while holding said syringe.

¹ empty, but still dirty with waterproof, document #fountainPen ink

TFW stai girando per casa tenendo in mano con attenzione una siringa¹, e suonano il citofono.

per fortuna era per consegnare il catalogo bofrost (anche no), e non ho dovuto davvero *aprire* la porta con la siringa in mano.

¹ vuota, ma ancora sporca di inchiostro indelebile da stilografica
