  • Yes, I’m more of a novice, but have already tried multiple pattern systems as well. An expensive digital one with loads of measurements superficially similar to this. Also Luterloh system with radial coordinates, but that just sizes you from one measurement.

    Luterloh gave me an oddly sloped buttseam. I always have to lengthen sleeves, the custom sized does do that for me, but I also still had to adjust other stuff. Different from a commercial pattern but do still have to do some adjusting.

    As for the printing, it’s the same as every other digital pattern. You either tape a whole bunch of A4 or Letter sized paper, or print in A1 or A0 roll. Freesewing is actually good at this, you can rearrange the pieces to fit whatever paper you will print on before saving as pdf.



  • Perhaps I should read Ursula’s bag theory myself, because I’m not quite following how it applies to Solarpunk or talking about climate from this.

    I like everything I’ve read of Le Guin. Just finished reading her last one, Lavinia (Pre-Roman historical myth based on the Aeneid). The Dispossessed is great and you get a feel for an anarchist society. She also wrote a good translation of the Tao te Ching.





  • It’s good for email and personal sites (those aren’t dead, but they’re more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I’d only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

    For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don’t know, I wouldn’t use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it’s not your name.




  • I tried it. If I count everything I pay periodically (more bills than subscriptions) I get to 13 things, and the monthly total was slightly higher than I thought due to yearly stuff like school.

    Maybe it’s just not for me. I’m not big on budgeting (I only really budget things that don’t fit in last month’s wage) . Used to do YNAB for about two years (the offline version you could buy on Steam) a lot of work for no benefit.

    Even if you do properly budget, I don’t see the value of this over using a spreadsheet.

    Dense mats of grass won’t compost well, people with large lawns get this sometimes.
    It’ll do a lot better if you mix in other stuff (kitchen scraps, hedge trimmings, coffee grounds).
    Mix the top of your heap with your pitchfork after adding grass, or actually turn completely but that’s more work.
