  • Pre-church cheddar and pickled jalapeño sourdough.

    Jump

  • And no recipe? Or at least type of cheddar and quantities of it and the jalapeños? I used to make an Asiago habanero bread that turned out real well

  • I upgraded mine but haven't talked to the wife about including her yet because the family plan is for up to 6 so it'd be cheaper to just buy two individual subscriptions, she doesn't really care enough to justify that much extra cost. Hopefully Proton adds another plan or two for groups!

  • Proton VPN NetShield

    Jump

  • I've noticed the battery life reduction as well on my iPhone but no more than I'd expect from any other vpn, but it still goes all day unless I'm using my device a lot more than normal

  • Refinishing this little table/desk for my young kid. What will yield a fine-not-perfect result?

    Jump

  • This is what I'd do as well, paint will be a lot less effort and a whole lot easier to touch up as it gets used. Plus the kid can paint their own patterns or emblems or logos or whatever on it

  • Married folks of Fediverse, if you could turn back time to few weeks or months before your marriage, what you would do differently (if you would like to)??

    Jump

  • Same. If it were just up to the wife and I we would've simply gone to the courthouse and signed some stuff but we decided on a ceremony because it was "important to our families" and did things more traditionally than if it were only the two of us. We would've had a lot more fun with the whole thing if we could have just realized that the day was for us and about us and should've been done our way.

  • Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons

    Jump

  • It's both fun and frustrating learning how to operate it.

    This should be emblazoned somewhere in the initial Linux setup. I'm not in tech by trade, just a hobbyist nerd, and playing with Linux is like if a soulslike game were an OS. I had a terrible time figuring out how to get both monitors to work but eventually did and that felt like a huge win when it finally happened. Had an equally bad time trying to figure out how to install some game software but finally got that sorted and it felt like another big victory. But I still dual boot for now because some days I'm just not ready for the heartburn of dealing with my own ignorance in Linux

  • How come Republicans are the most fervent Christians?

    Jump

  • There's a real cognitive dissonance there. Their version of Christianity takes a back seat to politics because they've been told all these visions of grandeur about how "Jesus is coming back" and how they are the "sheep" and all those godless liberals are the "goats. They've been trained to look for reasons to feel persecuted even if they don't come directly out and say it, even if they don't realize it themselves. There's a real "us vs. them" mentality in a lot of those types of churches and they'll gladly go rub one out to stuff like where Jesus said to his disciples in one of the gospels that if people aren't for him then they're against him. Nevermind that one of the other gospels says the opposite. A lot of Christians I've come across just have this persecution fetish where any slight inconvenience or call for accountability from pretty much anyone (because their church won't take them to task over things) turns into a 'righteous' cry to their lord about how the godless Philistines around them are normalizing oppression and sodomy and trans rights or whatever and these holy little Christian's are the only beacon of hope in society even though they insist on treating anyone who isn't like them like absolute garbage. I'm not a social scientist or anything like that, hopefully people smarter than me chime in. But conservatives treat equity in a community like a zero sum game, you know? If poor people are given a hand up by the government then it's interpreted by these (at best) middle class Christians as an affront to their hard earned money. They worked for their income but "these filthy poors just get handouts at MY expense?" You can tell by their actions that they have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus regardless of how they try to present themselves. They're full of crap and they deserve to be treated as such.

    Source: Grew up in a very conservative farming community, did all the church stuff, then moved away and found myself.

    Also, I know I abused quotation marks but my bad on any grammar or spelling errors or general incoherence. I treated myself to vodka for dinner.

  • You can remove or disable Windows 11 and 10's AI 'bloat' with new BloatynosyAI

    Jump

  • Steam's been fantastic! Problem for me is that some of the battle.net games aren't on there. If there's a way to download those somewhere and run them through Steam that'd be incredible. I didn't even think to consider searching around for that possibility. I've seen people run Diablo 4 on their Decks so it's clearly possible, I'm just still learning how to troubleshoot Linux and I'm trying to be extra careful since their OS doesn't have much in the way of guardrails to prevent dummies from nuking themselves

  • You can remove or disable Windows 11 and 10's AI 'bloat' with new BloatynosyAI

    Jump

  • This has been exactly my stance as well apart from ever having used Win11. Never did and never plan to, downloaded Mint a few months ago to start getting familiar with it. Turns out I'm not real great at technical stuff but I'm getting there. Dual monitors was kind of a booger and now I'm trying to figure out how to install some games since Bottles is being a real wiener about Battle.Net. I'm glad there's so many resources and forums out there but I still hope some version of Linux gets dumbed down a little more before Win10 sunsets to make the transition easier for us blue collar folk

  • What else can I do with this tear out?

    Jump

  • First you should edit the title so it makes sense, then you could try clamping a sacrificial board (MDF, 1/4", dimensional, whatever's easiest) beneath and running the drill faster but moving slower. You might even try just going back to trying tape but changing your drilling method just to see if that improves anything before killing another piece of wood
