Looking for non-stick skillet tips and tricks
    • Don't put it in the dishwasher
    • Do NOT put it in the dishwasher
    • No metal utensils or scrubbers
    • Don't use higher than medium heat

    Eggs are a good candidate for nonstick pans as are pancakes/crepes. Cheese things work well here too- one of my favorites is to crust a slab of halloumi cheese with za'atar spice and fry it with roasted veggies and couscous. Such a feat would be disastrous in a regular stainless pan.

    Things not to stick in a nonstick include anything acidic (tomatoes or citrus), anything that needs charred or seared, and pan sauces (usually rely on browned bits left behind for flavor)

  • Advice for running Wanderhome for the first time?
  • Haven't actually played a session but having read through and trying the location generation process, I think it would be useful to make cards/handouts for all the archetype infos as well as the playbooks (especially if each player doesn't have a copy of the book to reference). If you're a more hands on keeper, you may also benefit from generating possible areas in advance so less work is needed on the fly. This is a bit counter to the game's ethos of having players more actively shape the world but may help ease into the idea for groups that are used to more traditional ttrpgs

  • Ad Blocking is Cyber Security
  • For additional content, you can accomplish ad blocking in a number of ways. The ones that immediately spring to mind:

    • browser extension: most modern browsers have some extension framework available. I've been using ublock origin for a number of years with reasonable results
    • VPN: some VPNs include ad blocking as a side benefit to their primary function. Nord doesn't seem to block ads on all mobile apps or is at least inconsistent in my experience
    • Network packet filter/PiHole: this has been on my to-do list for a while. Catches network traffic that looks like ads before it even reaches your device. Most involved and least portable
  • What's the legality of copy/pasting or rewording interesting guides and resource posts from Reddit?
  • Notalawyer but I say copy everything. Strip the bones of reddit like a school of piranhas for anything useful (do credit original authors when possible). Fuck that Steve guy for hamstringing one of the most ubiquitous knowledge repositories since the Alexandria Library

  • Deluge not uploading
  • Definitely gonna have to lean on that myself as well. Already looking at a few of the big freeleech farms- I don't have infinite space but there's always room for a couple hundred gigs of Studio Ghibli lol

  • Deluge not uploading
  • Right out the gate I want to express gratitude- over on reddit the expected response to my question would probably be something along the lines of "google it yourself" or "if you don't already know how, you shouldn't try to learn". It's nice to see that this place lives up to the label of "community" 😁

    Unfortunately, wasn't able to glean anything from the logs but your port binding stuff did prompt me to try host mode networking instead of individual bindings (previously was doing the expose ports randomly option through portainer). This didn't have an immediate positive effect but it may have suggested that my issue is even dumber than originally anticipated- I think the files downloaded so far fit two categories that contribute to my low ratio: obscure stuff that nobody else wants and big freeleech stuff with so many seeds that nobody gets down to my box in the pile. This I confirmed by grabbing a high leech/low seed file from a public tracker and noting traffic on completion.

    Upload still seems slow even with the public test so that may still need investigation but if I can find some stuff that people are actually downloading, I might still be able to pull my ratio out of the dumpster (hopefully before getting booted 🤞)

  • Deluge not uploading

    Used to sail the high seas in the days of TPB and Demonoid (when they were still good). Started again recently with a servarr stack with Deluge on docker but didn't realize it wasn't seeding properly and now my torrentleech ratio is in grave danger.

    What might I be missing in my network config? Docker has all ports exposed and Deluge has uPnP enabled. Downloads work just fine and torrents periodically connect to peers but nothing ever actually uploads.

    Just finished this bad boi
  • Looks good! Always nice to see a fellow 40% enjoyer. Extra props for the effort to use the mouse functions- have you also tried to use vim with it? (I want to sit down and learn that sometime)

  • Looking for Quality Bamboo Steamer

    Been having a craving for dim sum and want to get a good basket but I'm having difficulty locating a solid recommdation (google seems to just be full of paid ads rather than legit reviews).

    What's the best steamer for dim sum and what are some other favorite recipes that use one to further justify adding another specialty tool to my kitchen?

    What are you cooking/eating this week?
  • Still working on this week's menu but last week was pretty eventful:

    • grilled individual pizzas
    • zucchini slice (sorta a crustless quiche)
    • buffalo chicken Nachos and queso
    • prosciutto and Fig Sandwiches w/lemon artichoke quinoa salad
    • beef dragon noodles w/roasted broccoli and almond salad
  • What are your favorite cookbook/blogs?
  • I've gotten a significant amount of mileage out of BudgetBytes. I especially enjoy the ingredient cost breakdowns even if they're outdated or inaccurate. My other big source lately has been Food Network's Worst Cooks in America (typically features dishes that are easy to learn)

  • What are your favourite and/or most used kitchen items?
  • Chef's knife is definitely not boring and may not be as obvious as you think. I come from a family that has only ever used cheap paring knives for everything that have never even been in the same room as a sharpener. Meanwhile, I haven't made a single dish without my Henckels since I bought it 5 years ago. My GIR silicone turner is a close second
