  • I’ve started baking bread this year and it’s been fun.

    The “hardest” part is deciding to make the dough at night before I go to bed so it can ferment overnight. But the next day, all I need to do is throw it in the oven for 45 minutes and bam, fresh bread.

    I’m struggling to get the crust right, though. It tends to come out very chewy rather than crispy





  • and connect to it with an iPad that has a Jellyfin client installed?

    In my experience, you don’t even need the dedicated Jellyfin client. Just opening it up in a web browser works out of the box, so that’s potentially one less thing to download/install/manage for the clients.

    That said, I’ve never tried to access Jellyfin from an iPad/iPhone/Mac so it might not be as seamless as my experiences on Android/Linux based devices. But I imagine they’d be fine; just test it out before you hit the road.


  • Thumbing through my copy of “On Food and Cooking” by Harold McGee, I didn’t find anything specifically comparing fresh vs canned tomatoes for pasta sauces, but it does mention:

    Fresh tomatoes readily cook down to a smooth puree, but many canned tomatoes don’t. Canners frequently add calcium salts to firm the cell walls and keep the pieces intact, and this can interfere with their disintegration during cooking. If you want to make a fine-textured dish from canned tomatoes, check the labels and buy a brand that doesn’t list calcium among its ingredients.


  • I bought an N64 with 4 controllers and 5 games for $5.00 about 10 years ago…the same setup is like $200 minimum now.

    Sounds like you got an absolutely incredible deal; I don’t think $5 was a normal price point for that kind of hardware even 10 years ago. I sold my N64 with 2 controllers and maybe 4 game cartridges for ~$100 around 17 years ago and the guy I sold it to didn’t even haggle.



  • Is it “fair”? I’d say no, but the world isn’t a fair place. Enormous, unscrupulous corporations are to blame for the untenable situation we collectively find ourselves in. And those corporations aren’t going to be rectifying their behavior any time soon unless forced to.

    That being said, asking individuals to take steps to reduce climate change isn’t an unreasonable thing in my eyes. Because, until corporations are held accountable, asking individuals is the only thing that can possibly improve the situation. Even though it’s like throwing a cup of water on a forest fire.

    The second that Amazon, Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Coke, Pepsi, et al are forced to do their part, I will start throwing my trash out the window again like a proper American. Until then, I’m gonna recycle and encourage my friends and family to do so as well.



  • Hmm, have you made any changes to the firewall on the system hosting the Docker container?

    You might need to edit the firewall with a something like this:

    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 8096

    Are you using docker-compose to run the Jellyfin service? If so, you might need to add something like this to the docker-compose.yml file:

    network_mode: 'host'
    extra_hosts:
          - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
    

    I’m no expert at Docker or UFW, but these are part of my Jellyfin setup, which I’m running on Ubuntu LTS in a Docker container.





  • Agreed on the Ender 3’s needing some tinkering. My wife got me the Ender 3 V2 a couple of years ago for Christmas and I like it a lot, but I spend more time troubleshooting it than actually printing stuff.

    I like to tinker, but the Ender 3 V2 takes advantage of that fact.

    Any recommendations on part upgrades? I’ve upgraded the nozzle and the extruder on mine (the stock, plastic extruder cracked badly last year and I replaced it with a full metal one), but it is still very unreliable. Prints are always failing due to adhesion issues even if I use aftermarket adhesives like MagiGoo on the build plate.




  • That sucks to hear.

    Their ransom demands were dramatically weakened by the fact that they did not have access to any compromising data. It was also clear that they believed ARRL had extensive insurance coverage that would cover a multi-million-dollar ransom payment. After days of tense negotiation and brinkmanship, ARRL agreed to pay a $1 million ransom. That payment, along with the cost of restoration, has been largely covered by our insurance policy.

    Glad the threat actors didn’t get the payout they were hoping for.
