Prima di sposarmi vivevo in piazza a Desio. Al quarto piano. Di fronte alle campane.  Per trent’anni. E non le sentivo, o meglio non le notavo, così come non notavo neanche il tram, quando ancora c’era.

Le amiche di mia sorella invece quando son venute a fare il pigiama party non riuscivano a chiudere occhio “come fate a dormire con tram e le campane?” che noi non sentivamo più.

A chi viene ad abitare vicino alla Basilica mi sento di dire che…

È questione di abitudine, dopo qualche mese non le senti più.

Più o meno come la balera e Parco Tittoni.

Le campane c’erano già decenni prima che tu nascessi.

Chi viene ad abitare in piazza sa che ci sono.

Per me che sono cresciuto al loro suono le campane mi ricordano casa e periodi felici.

Al contrario una mia vicina era venuta ad abitare sotto di me quando era già anziana, qualcuno diceva anche inacidita e non le sopportava le campane. Mi pare avesse anche fatto causa alla parrocchia.

Ora non ricordo come andò a finire ma mi risulta che le campane siano regolate così:

  • da lunedì a venerdì il primo rintocco è alle 7.25 per annunciare la S.Messa delle 7.30; in agosto, non essendoci la S.Messa delle 7.30 il primo tocco dovrebbe essere alle 8.30;
  • il sabato il primo tocco è sempre alle 8.30;
  • la domenica e i festivi il primo tocco è alle 8.00 per annunciare la Messa delle 8.30.

It seems that someone is going to make this far easier: enters https://github.com/anywherelan/awl

It’s still in beta but we shall keep an eye on it. I hope it will be included into Debian repositories soon.

the Seven Ideals for Local-First Software 0 — basically for free:

  • Software can respond near-instantaneously to user input. (No waiting on server round-trips, no spinners.)
  • Cross-device synchronization. (Pick up work on your mobile device just where you left off with your laptop.)
  • “Offline-First” as a subset of Local-First. (Connectivity is irrelevant when interacting with the application>0
  • Seamless collaboration with other peers. (Edit and sync shared data without fear of conflicts.)
  • Full data agency. (Do what you want with your data, it’s yours only.)
  • Secure and private data management. (Everything is encrypted, only you have the keys.)
  • Full ownership and control over the application’s data. (No one can take away a service from you.)

Dear MicroSoft, you’re fifty years late. Also if I want a very light, very simple editor I use mcedit – the editor coming with Midnight Commander – or nano

Webstudio.is? Something else, please https://monodes.com/predaelli/2025/06/24/webstudio-is-something-else-please/ https://monodes.com/predaelli/2025/06/24/webstudio-is-something-else-please/#respond Tue, 24 Jun 2025 19:25:56 +0000 https://monodes.com/predaelli/?p=13625 Recently on the Telegram chat channel of the Politecnico Open unix Labs a dude asked for a substitute of the proprietary wix.com. Initially I suggested webstudio-is but they boicott Firefox, so I can’t suggest it!

For static sites https://www.silex.me/ or https://getpublii.com/ may be good choices.

Francamente, visto alcune notizie recenti, nutro qualche dubbio, stante la infausta fama dei gestionali.

They don’t care about freedom https://monodes.com/predaelli/2025/06/18/they-dont-care-about-freedom/ https://monodes.com/predaelli/2025/06/18/they-dont-care-about-freedom/#respond Wed, 18 Jun 2025 03:40:02 +0000 https://monodes.com/predaelli/?p=13597 I’ve just read “Why China is Giving Away Its Tech For Free“.

The real issue is that they are speaking of “open source” and not about freedom for people.

Chinese government likes the utilitaristic approach of “open source” and do not care – to say the least – to speak about freedom for people. In fact the reporter wrote:

… the government, see open models as the quickest way to narrow the gap with America.

After having noted that

[…] the rise in China of open technology, which relies on transparency and decentralisation, is awkward for an authoritarian state. If the party’s patience with open-source fades, and it decides to exert control, that could hinder both the course of innovation at home, and developers’ ability to export their technology abroad.

The real issue here is let Chinese persons to know that they have the right to be free
