Boiling broccoli.

It’s just bad, and wrong. I know lots of people who don’t like broccoli, and when I ask why it’s usually because that’s the only / main way they’ve had it. For me it’s the opposite, I love broccoli, it’s my favorite vegetable.

Acceptable methods of preparation, in descending order:

• pan-fried, hard. High heat, add a good oil and immediately follow with roughly chopped (e.g. halve the large “flowers”) broccoli so the oil doesn’t burn. It will sizzle and crack like crazy for a couple of minutes. In the end, you should have brown-almost-black, caramelized flowers/stems, that are still very crisp on the inside. If you want to make a sauce, set aside or make simultaneously and only combine towards the end, so you don’t cook the broccoli until soft after frying.
• oven-roasted. High heat, again in the oven until almost blackened in spots. It’s almost, but not quite as good as pan-fried, but that seems to be common with oven-roasting. You likely loose a lot of the inner crispness. But, no oil spritzes.
• blanched, shortly. IDK why you’d ever really want this, unless it’s to make the color pop. Way worse than oven roasted, way better than cooked or steamed.

Note this only applies to fresh broccoli, the frozen stuff is unsalvageable.

Sure, but when people here comment “drinking urine is super unhealthy” the “…even in normal small-ish amounts” part is clearly implied.

Well I am German, so if that adds to my credentials…

Also… I’m not exactly vanilla myself, and yeah: one of the things even the most depraved toiletplay enthusiasts know is “human waste is not good for you”.

Absolutely. TBF urine also isn’t as bad for you as some people here make it out to be (in moderation… With plenty of hydration on both sides…), but the idea of “let’s ingest the stuff my body has decided is unwanted waste, I’m sure that’s GREAT for me” is hilarious.

Yeah so I have a kink around something closely related. I have zero issues with drinking piss for, uh, fun purposes.

Those are my credentials, the following is my expert opinion:

Wtf this is just stupid.

Related, but the amount of tech and/or privacy adjacent youtubers I have seen complain about ads, about what they’re doing to be less susceptible, how this or that change is TOO much, and so on if baffling. JUST USE AN ADBLOCKER. There’s always one comment pointing that out, with a derailed conversation below, but most of the comments will be “actually, if you repeatedly close then reopen a YouTube video for 10-15 times, it will not show the ad on the next open!” with a million “don’t tell, now Google is gonna patch!” replies. I wish I was joking.

If you don’t use an Adblocker, get one, NOW. It takes 30s. If you think “it’s not that bad”, install it anyways and give it a try for a week. Disable it. See if it’s really “not that bad”, lmao.

Install them on your parents’ devices. Your grandparents’. Siblings. Friends.

Lmfao

“Women who experience the results of the patriarchy must have personality issues”

Sure buddy

Does it actually? My VM has a lot of RAM, and Proxmox reports usage always around 90%, but that’s no matter how much RAM it ACTUALLY has, because almost all of that is cache and not strictly necessary. free -m shows Jellyfin using maybe 2 Gigs.

Haha. Might have slightly exaggerated. But only slightly.

The Proxmox host in question has a 1Gbit connection to the NAS. (Unfortunately. The other hosts don’t have a GPU, but SPF+… Oh well, can’t have everything.)

At some point in the last couple of months, it must have been damaged, and negotiated down to only 100Mbit. This must roughly have coincided with the Jellyfin 10.11 update, since I remember thinking that it must be the cause, due to close proximity of update and first issues.

Anyways. For basically everything in my library, 100Mbit is fine. Streaming an episode NAS->Jellyfin and Jellyfin->TV at the same time basically never saturates the link.

BUT, from what I’ve gathered by digging through Jellyfin issues and PRs, there’s a separate issue where Jellyfin will pull the episode, and if you need subtitles extracted from the episode file server-side (to transcode them in, if the clients can’t play them), it will at the same time pull the episode AGAIN, and together with the Jellyfin->TV direction, that’s frequently enough that it saturates the link.

Symptoms is (was) either a 20-30s wait before the episode would start playing, or complete freeze.

However, I believe this particular issues has been solved for a while. I’m not sure, because I instead opted for the Subtitles Extractor Plugin, which runs nightly and pre-fetches all the subtitles and stores them on the Jellyfin VM itself.

Where it was still noticeable though was if one of [Library Scan/Trick-play Extraction/Subtitle Extraction/Media Segment Scan] ran while playing an episode, the server would completely lock up.

Long story short: cable swapped, 1Gbit, all issues gone.

Sorry, but why not just fetch a single media file with multiple languages?

Domain + reverse proxy. The security issues some people here claim are significantly overblown.

Can’t speak to that, I’m not involved. All I know is that,

• Jellyfin server gets significant upgrades in subtitle capabilities and performance,
• Jellyfin AdroidTV just released an RC that finally includes direct play for ASS/SSA subtitles,
• and on Monday, I FINALLY resolved a hardware issue (faulty cable) that made my Jellyfin almost unusable whenever ASS/SSA needed to be played (and only in that situation. Fun!)

So yeah, I don’t know or really care about leadership change, I just know it’s gonna run like a rocket now 😄

Now THAT is a changelog.

Really excited about the query performance improvements, and the improvements to subtitle handling.

The Creator

Relatively small budget, but looks better than basically anything else that landed in cinemas at the time, or since.

Guess they saved on the script…

?

Are you sure you aren’t either applying nixpkgs overlays, or following master instead of nixos-unstable? I’ve not really experienced anything like you’ve described.

Anyways - I’ve additionally built my own cache server, which builds every output of my flake every time I push to main. System updates are ONLY downloads now. Also allowed all of my low-powered VMs to auto-update, since they’ll never need to build anything at all.

Yeah. It’s fantastic. Only thing I wish for is federation, and better project boards, but oh well.

For my “important” stuff, I still push-mirror to Github though… Should probably change that to Codeberg.

Worse than just taxing them properly.

I really like the idea of the Jolla and am seriously considering getting one. I’m also the exact target audience (Linux nerd, privacy conscious, FOSS advocate, want to own MY device fully, hate having to use a US-based duopoly in my current daily life).

That’s exactly why I don’t understand their decision to keep parts of their system closed. The overlap between people who want a Linux phone and who are OK with that Linux phone not being fully open seems to be tiny.

• MuseScore 4 is a (the!) free music notation software. It is genuinely fantastic. It’s also a lot of fun, if you know some notation basics and want to play around.
• Darktable is a Raw photo editor in the vein of Lightroom. Except where lightroom is sleek, polished, user friendly and Adobe (🤮), Darktable is FOSS, and clearly so both in the design and functionality: it could easily make a UX designer cry, but if you’re willing to give it a try, there does not exist a more potent raw editor on this earth. Lightroom is a toy in comparison. (Now whether you need that is another question… But I’ve been using it for more than 10 years, and am still finding new, incredibly useful sub-menus, drop-down contexts on hidden sliders,…)
• rmpc is a really cool TUI music player
