Cast iron for sure works and I’m pretty sure carbon steel does, too. If a magnet sticks to it, it works.
They are garbage for heat control if you use them the same way you would a gas or induction stove. If you learn how to use one, resistive electric stoves cook just fine.
You like using cheap aluminum pans?
I don’t get that at all. To me it feels like there’s so much progress happening right now.
COVID really did destroy the flow of time for me.
Didn’t be so hard on yourself. You can also pester us about the status of Jira tickets.
To me, going and picking up food IS the lazy option. I refuse to be lazier than that. I mean, that’s not true. If delivery was free, I’d use it.
So, slightly tangential, but I have a failed home automation project this past week.
I have been using an unofficial integration for my mini-splits for a few years. The guy who wrote it likes to disappear for 6 months at a time and it seems like it may be abandoned. It finally stopped working after a home assistant update.
I had bought some ESP based replacement dongles about a year ago and decided to finally use them. Well, not all of the features worked, so I set about writing my own firmware.
That ended up working even less well. I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to get my firmware to work before giving up and just moving to the fork of the original Home Assistant integration for the official dongles.
I hate being beholden to third party stuff like this because I have robust automation setup for my mini-splits and updates can completely break them and be a massive pain to fix.
I’m not sad I tried and failed so much as I’m just sad it didn’t work. I may try again sometime in the future.
The fucking Okta verify app and its “cannot find trusted route to whatever” error popup that covers the approve button that cannot be dismissed except for just waiting for it to go away. Love that.
Oh! I finally got tired of swiping away the “setup express login” or whatever they call it and set it up. It’s not any fucking faster! In fact, it’s slower! It’s the same process, but now I have to also use my fingerprint at the end. And there’s enough of a lag that I often forget I have to do that so I’m starting at the login screen waiting for the approval to go through.
And, I have to use the thing twice to get on GitHub or the corporate VPN. It is so fucking tedious and stupid.
Thank you! This is awesome!
I never knew they sampled RATM.
I was young when this came out and had no idea it was built from samples until many years later.
Oh man, it would be nice to have this on vinyl.
This might have been my first CD that was bought just for me. 311 would have been another one. I’m very nostalgic because I loved it as a young teenager. It still holds up, too.
Wait. You want anti-corpo social media, but not anti-corpo discourse??
I have no horse in this race and tend to believe the poster, but those comments have no context and make no sense to me.
That’s what Distrobox is for. It’s super useful.
Have you looked at any of the Universal Blue OSs based off of Silverblue? You can rebase to them extremely easily and try them out with no risk.
All of Linux requires specialized knowledge. Immutable just takes different knowledge.
The real kicker with that is just that you can’t always just follow instructions you find online. Usually you can, as long as you’re doing them in a Distrobox, though.
I went with immutable as a newbie, and I think it’s great. It feels like getting in on the ground floor of the future.
Debian sounds like a great fit for you. But it’s good to know that Universal Blue has a lot of tools available for installing and tinkering that many just don’t know about. They are extremely powerful OSs.
Who knows. People are passionate about Linux. And downvoting takes no effort. And people downvote stuff randomly.
People love to prove how “smart” they are. It’s extremely reliable.
I unfortunately still mindlessly scroll Facebook when I’m bored. When I see some kind of obvious rage bait, people will trip over themselves to comment about it, even if a thousand other people have already said what they came to say.
The kind of things I’m taking about are like this. Completely mispronouncing a common word in every single video. The kind of word that no one ever mispronounces. Or someone opens their refrigerator to get something out of it and there’s random items conspicuously placed in it that obviously didn’t belong there.
The kind of things that anyone with half a brain knows is purposefully done. And yet thousands of people will shit themselves trying to get the comments opened so they can correct the record.
