speak for yourself

cool, just watched the movie “Pompeii” last night and then my wife and I were looking up photos from there. (I also made a homemade pizza yesterday)

for margarita (and some other drinks) the glass rim is covered with salt. So, you could evaporate the tears and put the residue on the rim in place of salt.

search for tkemali sauce recipes. It’s a Georgian plum sauce that is great with meats and vegetables. I’ve used it on pork, chicken, fried potatoes. In Georgia, it is about as common as ketchup is in the USA. There is red tkemali made from ripe plums and green made from unripened. Green is my favorite, but both are really good. I think the plums used in Georgia are a wild plum, but I made some last month with red plums I bought at Kroger. You might have to visit an international market to get some of the spices.

edit: recipe that i used, minus a couple spices i didn’t find in time, but it still turned out good.

I am a substitute teacher in southern Illinois. At the schools where I’ve worked, the students get chromebooks at the beginning of the school year and use these for much of their coursework and exams. Some students had notebooks, but I never saw any carrying textbooks.

The teachers had digital whiteboards and also there were projectors in every class where the teacher could project from their computer.

I’m new to NixOS, just installed it a few days ago, so I can’t say much about it’s pros and cons, but the installer was easy and I installed and booted into the new system very quickly. I think it might have been udpated in the past year, because I am watching a tutorial video from a year ago and he installs it via command line from the live iso.

edit: it also gave me a default configuration.nix which I’ve just been adding to (to get nginx with letsencrypt running, plus extra packages I wanted installed)

Instagram already had an app named Threads. Can they not think of a new name?

and unpaid mods moderating

wal-mart is profitable and they at least pay workers minimum wage. u/spaz can’t make a profit when unpaid mods do most of the work for them. Not a very good CEO

saw this recently: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface but I don’t own one. I was just curious about it and found that project.

I did. The account was 7 years old. I’d deleted old comments a few times before, but this time i went all in and deleted everything and the account. I have an alt that I never posted from and rarely logged into. I’m going to delete it soon, just interested in what happens today and then probably delete it tonight.

don’t know where you’re from, but I saw this domain earlier and it reminded me of when I lived in southern US and people would always say “heard that!”

Void Linux on my Thinkpad and Thinkstation. On Pinephone and Pinetab I’m running postmarketOS. I really like postmarketOS and using apk, so if I were to get a new laptop or every change the distro on my laptop or desktop, then I might try Alpine. On raspberry pi 3, it’s raspbian. I use that mainly to run pi-hole and pivpn.

I distro hopped for a little while, but then settled on Void. It does what I need and was easy to get set up how I want. It’s a rolling release and I haven’t ever had any big issues with upgrading. The worst issue I’ve had was when they recently removed pipewire-media-session and switched to wireplumber. After checking a couple posts on reddit and on void’s documentation, I got it set up the recommended way without any trouble and audio is working fine.

edit: wanted to add that my Thinkpad also has OpenBSD as a dual boot option, but I haven’t booted into it in a long time. One day I’d like to try a BSD as a server(not on a laptop, of course.) Also, the Thinkstation has Windows 10/Void dual boot, but I never boot into Windows.

at some point in the past I created an account on twitter but it seemed pointless to me. Then it got bigger and was always getting mentioned/quoted and I gave it another shot thinking maybe I was just doing it wrong. Nope, still sucked.

That said, I do have a mastodon account, but I don’t like a lot of things about it. When I’m looking at my timeline, I never know if something is a top level post or a reply to someone else unless I click on it.

I thought we were all lizard people here
