Help: I'm dealing with hundreds of ripe plums
  • 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.

    Help finding a poem

    Hello, I'm trying to find a poem I read somewhere once and I'm not having any luck with any search engines. I've also tried chatgpt and it keeps suggesting different poems.

    What I remember about the poem: I think the stanzas begin with "I sometimes think..." and the poem ends with something like "in fact I do little but lie on my back, but I sometimes think." Also, it rhymes zinc with think, something like "or study the crystal structure of zinc"

    edit: the end is something like this:

    I sometimes think I should learn to play the sackbut

    or study the crystal structure of zinc

    In fact I do little but lie on my back but

    I sometimes think

  • 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.

  • That Computer Scientist - Nix is the New Arch!
  • 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.

  • Throwing in the towel on mobile Linux
  • I guess it depends on how you rank the importance of each of those. For me, I can get an SMS from my bank with a 2FA code to login (I know, less secure), so I don't need a specific app and can use the website. Hotspot isn't very important for me, but it does work(when my modem worked.) I'd also move bluetooth audio lower on importance to me. Can't argue with telephony being on top. I wonder how it is with pmOS on Oneplus 6? I have a pinephone, but the modem is dead/not recognized or something anymore, so now it's just a mini tablet that I always leave at home.

  • How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already?
  • 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.

  • What OS do you use on your pc and why?
  • 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.

  • I like this significantly better than Mastodon
  • 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.

  • What's your favorite easy dish to cook?
  • This is one of my goto's if I want something quick

    Low Sodium Ribeye Fajitas

    edit: could also use chicken breast instead of ribeye. I just made it that way last night.

    Seasoning: (adjust to taste, I don't do these exact amounts every time)
    * 1 tsp cumin
    * 1/2 tsp oregano
    * 3/4 tsp garlic powder
    * 1/4 tsp onion powder
    * 1/4 tsp pepper
    * optional: dash of red pepper flakes
    mix together seasoning ingredients in small bowl
    
    * 1 ribeye steak, sliced
    * sliced red bell pepper
    * sliced green bell pepper
    * sliced onion
    * optional: sliced jalapenos
    * olive oil
    

    ( I'm usually lazy and buy fajita pepper and onion mix at Kroger that's already sliced )

    Fry your slices of steak in some olive oil until they're about halfway cooked and then add the bell peppers and onion. When it's near done add in the seasoning mixture. Serve on tortillas with sour cream or however you like it. Quick prep and cook time!
