Piecemakers3Dprints , to cooking in homemade Cajun seasoning?
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

If you have access to bulk spices at your local grocery, try mixing the following to your own personal taste: black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder, chile peppers, cumin, celery seed. 🤘🏼

p.s. If you have a food dehydrator, try lightly charring some hatch chilis over open flame and then dehydrating them after they’re cooled. Grinding them into powder (+seeds = spicy) and adding that to your mix. 🧑‍🍳

I never noticed before, paprika is bell pepper, onion powder and celery seed, It’s the Cajun mirepoix. Makes perfect sense it would be predominant in the seasoning.

IMongoose , to selfhosted in Lemmy Server on Unraid

I made a Ubuntu VM and followed the instructions on github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, and it looks like it worked but I’m having issues getting a secure connection. I should have the correct ports open on the server and firewall so I’m not sure, I’m kind of a potato.

Did you get anywhere with this?

IMongoose ,

Yes. Lemmy-Easy-Deploy works great. My issue was I did not have the domain set up properly to redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com, so the initial setup didn’t work. My email doesn’t work but email is hard.

It doesn’t seem like it, RHEL is based on Fedora. Fedora is beta RHEL more or less. But Alma, Rocky and Scientific Linux will all be in trouble as they’re based on RHEL. Or at least that’s what I make of it

DarkGamer , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?
@DarkGamer@kbin.social avatar

I'm a big fan of frozen herbs, frozen cubes of garlic save a ton of time breaking open cloves, frozen basil still has that fresh taste and smell relative to dried.

If you make pizza in a home oven, baking steel is a game changer. It gets nice and hot and makes your crust crispy. Like a pizza stone but better.

If you have a blender, try making your own almond milk for a fraction of the cost. It's easy.

HappycamperNZ ,

Elaborate on the almond milk, and does it work with oat and cashew as well?

synsa ,

@HappycamperNZ

  1. Soak raw almonds overnight.
  2. Blend at 1 to 4 ratio. Ex: 1 cup almonds, 4 cups water. Strain through nutbag or cheesecloth. Save pulp for recipes (Google will help)
  3. Some people drink the milk as is but to me, but it tastes even more amazing if you cook it on a stove just until it starts to boil and immediately turn off heat. Add a tablespoon sugar.

Cashews: same but don't need to boil. These don't strain as well so some people prefer using high speed blender and not strain but I didn't care for it that way. I haven't made oat milk that I'm happy with so no advice on that

RFBurns , to nostupidquestions in "Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?

…Behaviors and lifestyle choices. They do not rise to the immutable characteristics that qualify for civil-rights protection.

And yes; I’ve seen the sleazy Wiki edit that attaches “perceived” to the definition of “immutable”. ‘I just have to believe…’ belongs in a child’s fairytale book.

Hypersapien OP ,

Why do you care more about what the law requires you to do than you care about simply treating people decently? You can recognize a person’s rights even if the law doesn’t demand it.

And why do I get the feeling that you wouldn’t recognize the civil rights of those who you do view as having “immutable characteristics” if the law didn’t tell you that you had to?

The law is there because of people like you, to make you recognize peoples rights because you seem to be incapable of doing so otherwise.

Your entire argument reeks of you asking “What kind of shitty behavior can I get away with?”

fillip , to patientgamers in I might get back into Fallout 4 soon

I’m biased because it’s the first fallout game I played, but I never understood some of the complaints people had. I really liked having a voiced protagonist and the predefined back story was great, because it came up constantly. It allowed for great role-playing. I played new Vegas and enjoyed it, but the game itself wasn’t really all that fun to me, partially because I feel it’s aged somewhat poorly from a gameplay point of view. But in addition, it felt like your character didn’t have a personality, they just had skills and things they were good at. Compared to four, where you can bring up your dead spouse and child and your prewar knowledge pretty regularly, for example. Obviously the dialogue system could’ve been better but on the whole I think four gets way too much flak.

But in addition, it felt like your character didn’t have a personality, they just had skills and things they were good at. Compared to four, where you can bring up your dead spouse and child and your prewar knowledge pretty regularly, for example.

This is the problem for folks like myself, who got to spend time with New Vegas when it was new. Your character is given to you, and you must play that role no matter how little you care. NV allows me to have a very specific conception of who my character is, right down to which lines I choose to deliver sarcastically, and I can express that character in nearly every interaction because I’m not tied to a wife and child I had all of 2.5 minutes to develop an emotional attachment to.

fillip ,

I’m aware I’m in the minority with my opinion, but it just seems odd to me that I never hear these sorts of criticisms levied at the witcher for instance. Great game and fundamentally a good rpg, but your character is predefined. You can shape it a little but Geralt is ultimately still Geralt no matter what. But I never felt that impeded my ability to roleplay as him. The fact that the character is predefined is a positive to me, because the game can be designed around that fact. The scope is limited somewhat, so the paths you do choose can be better detailed. With new Vegas, the actual personality of your character lives within your head most of the time, and isn’t represented on screen nearly as much. Of course that’s fine, it’s just a very different roleplay experience imo, and I don’t prefer it like most people seem to. Not to say that Fo4 is as successful at it as the witcher was, just something I think about. I wish Fo4 would have leaned into it even more if anything, rather than the middle ground they’re in. Would’ve been cool to spend more time prewar for instance, have that aspect of the character influence more side quests.

cyanarchy ,

I can’t comment on this, really. I’ve only played the first Witcher, and I thought it was charming, an opinion that many people seem to find incomprehensible. I tried getting into Witcher 2 and the world just would not hold my interest long enough for me to get any momentum. I haven’t played Witcher 3 and despite all the praise it gets, the fact that I’m playing a predefined character continually dampens my interest.

Blistering hot take, but if I don’t have pretty excessive control over my character I don’t consider it to be a ‘true’ RPG. I don’t bandy this around with elitist intent, I just find myself measuring games in the genre by their narrative chops when the bar to entry is seemingly down to game mechanics (see: Mass Effect, Red Dead, Deus Ex - Incredible games in the RPG genre, but I feel like I do not get to define my own Role to Play whatsoever).

kwot , to nostupidquestions in Should Lemmy have Karma?

You know what’s funny? I think I voted more on comments here than my several years of reddit already. Having votes kept to individual comments instead of tallied up in your profile like this just feels better to me.

catastrophicblues , to asklemmy in what messaging apps do you use?

Telegram almost exclusively. I love thé sheer number of features it offers and pay for Premium.

Telegram is feature-richh for sure. In my country it does not have a large audience for some reason

NettoHikari , to gaming in Does anyone else sometimes feel overwhelmed by (big) games?
@NettoHikari@social.fossware.space avatar

I thought I was alone with that feeling. I’m in exactly the same boat as you.

For me, it’s a tiny bit different, because I played BOTW shortly before my daughther was born in 2017. I still had time for games like that back in the day. Now I don’t only have a daughter, but a son as well.

When I grab the controller and start playing something time intensive like BOTW and now TOTK, I usually feel really guilty really quick, because there are so many other things to do, that in theory should have a higher priority.

brokensprocket99 ,

Just do what I do. Split your time between family, work, house projects, errands, and play a little of each backlogged game you have. Get absolutely nothing in your life done by trying to do everything 24/7. This way you get the benefit of feeling like you have no free time while also having the benefit of getting burnt out and overstressed. It can't backfire. 100% sustainable.

Help me.

HannahBecz ,

Don't forget taking so long a break between games that you completely forget what you're supposed to be doing, and if the game offers no sort of recap/hand-holding quest system - you have to start from scratch.

At which point the daunting nature of that overwhelms you and you just sit there browsing your catalog for something new to play/continue until you're 15 minutes past your allotted time - and you're now even further behind.

Win/win all around.

CanOpener , to asklemmy in what messaging apps do you use?

For your friends and family, Signal is probably the best. It’s simple to use and set up, unlike SimpleX which some might have trouble with. For people who refuse to switch, iMessage.
