Avis à toutes les #femmes du fedivers! (toutes les femmes.)
Je suis en train de dessiner plein de patrons et j'aurais besoin de mesures! Je vous explique.
Je suis en train de faire quelques modèles "fonds de base" à partir desquels décliner à peu près toutes les sapes du monde sur un logiciel de dessin paramétrique.
Le dessin paramétrique, ça veut juste dire que si je donne suffisamment de points de repère à mon programme, je pourrai justement modifier les mesures que je lui donne sans "casser" le modèle que j'ai dessiné, qui s'adaptera tout seul.
Ce que ça veut dire concrètement :
un patron qui n'est pas "le plus proche de ce qui m'ira bien" mais sur mesure, à tous les coups
on ne parle plus de tailles (fuck les tailles, toi-même tu sais)
Mais pour pouvoir mettre mes modèles à l'épreuve j'ai besoin d'un max de mesures diversifiées pour le casser jusqu'à ce qu'il ne casse plus (et ça sert à rien de prendre un tableau de mesures normalisées parce que c'est justement ce qu'on veut plus).
Bien sûr j'anonymise complètement vos mesures, j'en fais rien d'autre, et vous avez absolument le droit de ne pas me faire confiance avec ça, je comprendrai tout à fait.
Et bien sûr, les patrons que j'aurai produit avec votre aide seront complètement gratos pour vous.
Soyez patientes, par contre, arriver à des résultats convaincants pourrait me prendre plusieurs mois!
Vous pouvez me DM ou m'envoyer vos tableaux à moe.blacksmith@morayner.org si vous avez la gentillesse de vouloir contribuer à ce projet
(et messieurs, ça vient. juste je m'occupe de nous d'abord.)
Edit : interdiction de rentrer le ventre, prenez vos mesures plutôt confortables que serrées, plusieurs fois pour être sûres. Vous êtes belles anyway, autant être belles ET confortables.

I had an epiphany today: Mastodon is my makerspace. I haven't been able to find a makerspace in this area since we moved here in '22, and that's been bugging me. But I scroll through Mastodon and see people's printing, woodworking, electronics, and welding projects, and I admire them, and sometimes I ask questions and learn new techniques. And when I post my own, people do the same.

My proof-of-concept "Single-Unit Hydroponic Grow Bin".
I don't know if it will work. Follow this thread (for the next three months maybe) and grow with me... maybe... or just watch it fail... :P
The goal of this grow-bin is to be:
Exceedingly cheap (This comes out to around $11 a unit - reusable - and that's mostly the light. Each additional growth will only be a couple of cents per plant).
Exceedingly easy to make.
Have as little moving parts as possible.
Require as little maintenance as possible while the plant grows.
Not require any special space, set-up, or shelving.
Be able to stick anywhere you have a couple of inches of spare room indoors, even if you live in a very small amount of floor space.
Be powered by wall socket or by external USB battery (for folks that are charging USB batteries with solar cells).
If you want to grow more plants... make more of these grow bins and add them wherever you have juuust a bit more space.
This answers the obstacles of hydroponics being portrayed as requiring an expensive startup cost, having dedicated or expansive space for hydroponic growing, require special or complex equipment, or special knowledge and skills.
AND IT'S ADHD FRIENDLY!!!!
Start growing whenever you get around to it. Doesn't require following growing seasons.
Once you start growing, you can forget about it until it's done growing.
Note: This is an experiment. I don't know if this will succeed. But! I plan on tweaking it and correcting any issues as I test it out. So... I'm not showing you a finished product. I'm showing you the design and test phase. Maybe we'll get a finished product out of the end of it!
(Thread continues and will be added onto. Bookmark and check back every couple of weeks. - The next section will go into how to build this.)
I baked a loaf of bread the other day, first time in years, maybe decades. Baking bread from scratch makes you feel like you can do anything! And it smells great.
Un truc tout bête si comme moi vos écouteurs intra ne durent guère plus de 6 mois, mettez des ressorts (de stylos usagers par exemple) aux extrémités. Résultat, j'ai ces écouteurs bas de gamme depuis plus d'un an, je cours même avec, ils n'ont pas bougé. Je me dis qu'il y aurait bien des efforts à exiger des constructeurs pour améliorer la #durabilité...
There was recently a poll asking the ages of Fediverse citizens that bundled everyone over 40. And yes, we are a more grown crowd here.
But there was a poll a couple months back that had more gradations, and the response was heavily Gen X.
I don't think this is a coincidence. We're the #DIY generation, so a self-structured social media experience probably suits us better. The joke that it's "Amish Twitter" is apt for that reason.
For my new pals on Mastodon, as part of my semi-regular reminder that my main deal is I'm a singer/songwriter, here's a helpful music video explaining, in rhyme and melody, How to Build A Corsi-Rosenthal Box. These are the simple, inexpensive air purifiers that you can easily build at home and pull Covid, dust, pollen, smoke, and other crap out of your indoor air.

I'm particularly proud of this. I crammed a mITX motherboard (5600G, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVMe) and a 650W SFX PSU into an old Samsung BT-120AT portable TV. I also managed to find a 5.6" 4:3 LCD to replace the original B&W CRT, and a circular LCD that perfectly fit the window for the AM/FM tuner. I have USB, HDMI, and C13 ports on a custom-made carbon fiber insert.
I have a few finishing touches I'd like to sort out: better power button, a screen to go behind the VHF/UHF tuner window, maybe a way to use the knobs for something (they're just held in place with hot glue at the moment). I also need to figure out how to talk to the circular LCD on the top, which I'll likely use to display system performance metrics. Still very happy with the progress so far!
It's running #Linux Mint, and it's going to serve as our entertainment center (I'll install some emulators, stepmania, maybe a few modern-ish Steam games). Right now it's just connected to our local Jellyfin server.
hello 🌱
lurkers + fediverse!
Long shot but i'm looking for an accomodation in #Brussels starting in April.
long term or short term, room or studio. I'm flexible as long as it feels cosy and with friendly and respecuful ppl :)
in spite of #Brexit, UK is still a European country that holds on dearly to their #DIY#fashion as a cultural expression.
in USA, fashion became the anchor of consumerist capitalism. there are no sewists, only fashion designers. clothes are for capitalist profit, not for personal expression.
to kill consumerism we need a DIY revival that values personal craft over capitalist profit.
