  • How did you learn to cook?

    Jump

  • My mom was a chef, and she taught me some absolute basics like how to hold a knife and a couple of recipes. She also told me that when learning, if I mess up it’s okay, but try to eat everything you make to learn to taste what went wrong.

    I got really good after I started watching “Good Eats”, though.

  • How's your HA voice assistant going?

  • Mine stopped working and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I switched back and forth between cloud and local models and at some point it just died.

  • Found in the "mental health room" of my university library, thought it was a joke at first

  • Who gave the business major a marker?

  • Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?

  • All I know about ZFS is that there are weird patent or closed source encumbrances or something. I hear it’s good, and it seems popular, I just avoid proprietary Oracle products.

    As for btrfs, the only thing that’s claimed to be unstable is raid 5 or 6. And people use it in production saying the claims are overblown. I don’t. I use it in raid1 mode. But raid1 in btrfs doesn’t require a bunch of matching drives. It lets you glom together a number of mismatched disks and just puts every block on more than one of them. So it’s a nice cross between a raid and LFS or JBOD.

  • Just btrfs.

  • Which food gives you the best bowel movement?

  • A quart of water, about five to ten minutes before the desired event.

    Linux users, what are you doing on your laptop?

    Jump

  • Writing tmux configs with nvim. Managing tmux configs with stow. Storing tmux configs with git. Running terraform and ansible to configure the git server with the tmux configs on it. SSH session to run monitoring utilities on the server that runs git to store my tmux configs. Running it all under tmux.

  • Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?

    Jump

  • In this house, we serve both kinds of cuisine: macaroni and cheese!

  • Any of you tried DBT before? What did you think? Any thoughts on possible "victim-blaming" with it? (Sorry, I ramble.)

    Jump

  • My therapist has done CBT and DBT with me. She told me that because I’m neurodivergent, I might respond better to DBT. The two seem rather different.

    Going by your other comments I would assume you and I share a heavily (over-?)developed sense of injustice. It’s a pretty common neurodivergent trait, which I don’t know whether it applies to you but [gestures around at Lemmy]

    Surprisingly, I responded better to CBT than to DBT. I couldn’t begin to claim to know why but I felt like it was more direct with regard to what I personally felt I needed to work on. That’s not a broad dismissal of DBT, though. Different things work for different folks.

  • What are some trends/fads that you are glad the world has moved on from?

    Jump

  • Next I’d be pretty happy if EDM could stop sounding like pop music too

  • What's the best tool for extracting these single line staples or whatever they are?

    Jump

  • I think you said pliers weren’t doing the job. Grab them with vice grips (locking pliers) and use the claw side of a hammer to pull them off like a nail.

  • What's your thoughts on this?

    Jump

  • Same thing as personal carbon footprints. A meaningless change being pushed on individuals when their total contribution to the problem is a mere rounding error on the amount contributed by the big corporations

  • What are things that are illegal today that could become legal in 50 years?

    Jump

  • In the US? Child labor.

  • Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

    Jump

  • Nope. I used the fact that it never really went on sale as an excuse to avoid it, which had saved me a half year or so of my life, I think.

    Jump

  • Dwarf Fortress. I think I have ten thousand hours in the classic game.

    Oxygen Not Included for the same reasons. I really like games where you both design, and are affected by, complex ecosystems
