This is just the occasional reminder that there still are some Merveilles sticker sheets left that you can get by donating to @riseup

Elmet Brae EB01, a :merveillesbg: community compilation of ambient soundscapes was released yesterday. You can download it here at

Also: big thanks to @neauoire for finishing up my cover art when I didn't have the capacity to do so. :enso:

Which reminds me @oppen , I think @neauoire should be mentioned in the credits for the artwork, too.

@rostiger @neauoire Could someone please apply this patch so the links work on Netsurf?
paste.sr.ht/blob/cb2d3e4251812

I would have made a PR but Github's mandatory 2FA crap means I can't log in. 🙃

ps.: W3C validator marks the current usage of <button> as an error, so it's not surprising that it's borked.

@rostiger @neauoire Listening now, these are really good!

I've been incredibly fortunate to be able to participate in a three day sailing training last week. And I learned so much, not only sailing practice and theory, but also about basic meterology and oceanography, reading and analysing weather forecasts, anchoring, provisioning for passages and more. It was amazing!

@rostiger multi-day sailing is a totally different thing, I'm happy you got to experience it!

Look what came in the mail today. 💥 :merveillesbg: :moomin_sparkles: #theWorkshop

I cannot overstate how awesome it is to be part of a community-run cropshare project.
Every two weeks I pick up a box of fresh, regional and seasonal vegetables. Plus I get to pick as many legumes, cereal, flours, juices, pesto and other basics as I need. And it's all on a pay-what-you-can base!

A room with cupboards filled with jars alongside the walls. In the middle of the room there is a table that is surrounded by large paper bags containing grain, flour and legumes. There&#39;s a little basket with wild herbs on the table.

Vegetables on a kitchen counter: 5 red beets, 3 fennels, one onion, spinach and mangold, cabbage leafs, fresh tarragon and oregano.

@rostiger that photo of the storeroom is really cool! Is that on the farm or somewhere in the city?

@rostiger I miss this kind of thing, gotta find a new coop to join here! We also discovered so many veggies we never tried before with the surprise bag method.

Added notes to the music theory section on the circle of fifths. #theWorkshop

Re-learned the clove hitch (or webeleinstek in German), an ancient and simple knot to secure a piece of rope using two hitches. We used it aboard to secure the fenders to the railings.

@rostiger that site has got to be the prettiest presentation of knots I've ever seen. :D Thanks.

Elbi

@rostiger Oh, neat! I was like "that's an odd cow hitch" at first glance. What's the special thing for this one? Easy to open?

@rostiger

This and the bowline are the two knots were burned into my memory in boyscouts growing up. Over the years I have relearned other knots I learned and forgot and just plain forgotten many others... but the clovehitch and bowline are so beautiful and useful that they just refuse to be forgotten in my head.

Though.... I can really only tie a bowline with the one handed method with the loop around your body (I think this was a sailor's OG form of a life preserver?).

Returned from a three day sailing training in Croatia yesterday. I've learned and ton about docking and casting off at different winds, anchoring and mooring and a whole lot of basic practice. ⛵

The cornates are beautiful, especially around this time of year.

Nintendo closed the eshop for Wii U titles this march. With the closure, the first large game I worked on with Broken Rules is disappearing in the digital ether.

@rostiger Oh wow, I didn't realize it never shipped for anything else! I did enjoy the game on Wii U and will hold on to its bytes as long as Nintendo lets me

I'm compiling a list of initiatives working towards building infrastructure that can exist outside of capitalistic structures.

If you know of any organizations that fit the description, please add them to the list!

Boosts appreciated.

I finally found someone who was able to fix my old Macbook from 2012 and now it's happily running Linux!

@rostiger 👀 Oh, do you have more information on this? Maybe @rek would be interested in it

Finally got myself some beefy SD Cards with incredulous reading speeds. Next step: wikipedia on an sd card!

I got enough space to store Wikipedia, Wikimedia, all of IFixIt, Wikihow, Archwiki and a bunch of others. The Kiwix library is a real treasure trove!
