Autumn , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?

When slow cooking a roast lay it on a bed of potatoes or whatever other sides you want, fill the water to the top of the veggies (or taters) then soak the roast in your sauce of choice. Gravity and heat will help the sauce work into the veggies giving them a nice flavor. The roast pretty much always comes out perfectly moist and you get amazing veggies out of the deal.

You can make a delicious, calorie dense chicken noodle soup on an extreme budget with canned chicken, chicken broth, and ramen noodle packages. That meal kept me from going hungry on multiple occasions during college.

Boil spaghetti in a small amount of water in a frying pan. You won’t need to push the pasta down and you’ll have lovely starchy water to finish off your sauce — perfect for something like a carbonara!

camelCaseGuy ,

This goes against my intuition of years of making pasta. But I’ll try it nonetheless.

pineapplefriedrice , to childfree in Coworker/Friend makes her kids her personality and won’t stop talking about them.

See, it’s annoying, but at least these are people who genuinely wanted kids and who take good care of them. It’s especially nice to see dads fangirl over their kids, because historically it’s been acceptable for dads to take a back seat. I get much more annoyed when I see people who can’t pay their bills as it is and think now is a GREAT time to have another kid, or when a woman is pregnant with her fourth kid from fourth baby daddy and the first three have already been left to fend for themselves. Loved and wanted and responsibly produced kids aren’t a hill I’m looking to die on.

There are better and worse ways to tell someone that they’re annoying. You know them better than we do and can better predict how they’ll respond, but saying something along the lines of “hey it seems like you’ve been really busy with your kids, totally fine, let me know when you have time to catch up” would work in a lot of cases. There’s nothing wrong with telling people that you have a life outside of childcare. Of course, it’s possible that you might grow apart, but that’s OK if you’re comfortable with it - you’re not stuck in your existing social circle. Take this opportunity to go out and meet new people.

Miyoo Mini plus and Ambernic RG35xx are probably what you want. I have these two devices and the 353V, all three are quite nice but the MM+ and RG35xx are better to your needs and are probably better for beginners.

Personally I would go for the MM+. Definitely install OnionOS if you get a MM+ or GarlicOS if you go for thr 35xx. (JELOS is my pick for the 353V) These custom firmwares are far more polished and have more performance than the default OS and have tons of great features and community applications.

Ok I might get downvoted to oblivion but I use MSG. It enhances the flavors so much that I have stopped going to restaurants.

Edit- I did my research and found no credible source that says MSG is harmful.

Edit2- If you go to a restaurant or order KFC chances are they use MSG as well

Chippyr ,

Anti-MSG propaganda actually comes from Asian racism, and was born out of the idea that Chinese food with its MSG was causing headaches and other health effects that were entirely made up. MSG is perfectly fine for you, and it makes a ton of things even tastier. I use it all the time in home cooking.

wokehobbit ,

There is nothing wrong with MSG. It being bad for you is made up by racists.

palitu , to selfhosted in Selfhosting Location History

Unfortunately there are no fantastic options. But it is a three part problem.

  1. Server to collect, store and serve the location data.
  2. App to send the data to the server
  3. ui to visualise the data.

There are some larger collection servers, but nothing that provided the data back in a way that i wanted. I currently use a custom script some created, whic provides a number of API endpoints. I will rustle up the link.

There are a number of apps, I use phonetrack. Defaults to next cloud formants but is easily editable.

The UI is where a lot of this fall down. I have phone always recording location, so tracks is no good for me, I wanted to use something like a heat map. The script I talked about includes a simple heatmap using leaflet and openstreetmaps. This fits my ise case much better, but is still not ideal.

I ultimately want to pre process the data to reduce the size of the data set that gets sent to client, to reduce the lag time. Good luck though, as it is a fun and challenging problem!

(I’ll upload some screenshots when off mobile)

Rogue1633 OP ,

I agree, the first two problems are rather easy to solve with phonetrack or any other of the tracking apps like µlogger, Owntracks, Traccar, etc. and nextcloud or the backend you provided. What is the reason that the simple heatmap is not ideal? Does it also lag or are you looking for filters functionality, etc.? The data pre processing must be challenging cause thats the part really seperating the self hosted solutions to Google’s one. If one could pre process the data on a nextcloud server and could render it on a map without significant lags, that would be really cool. Maybe I’ll try to work on that in the future when I got more advanced in programming.

palitu ,

Yeah, i think my data set is around 14mb when i load it all (and it loads all points to the browser). that is a bit of a loading lag, but once loaded it is ok.

The other issues is when you zoom out, you cannot pan around. you have to do clever scrolling (zoom) in and out to get to where you want.

I think it should be reasonabley easy to do the server side updates, but i cannot javscript front end to save my life!

Rogue1633 OP ,

That looks nice. If you want to share it, I’d totally try it out!

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?

I hate the idea of a “hack” but:

Don’t worry too much about making sure all cuts are uniform and everything is cooked to the exact same level. Yes, restaurants pride themselves on that and so do many of the youtube chefs (who got their start or even still work in restaurants)

You aren’t making hundreds of plates a night where two people on a date might think it is “unprofessional” that their green onion bits aren’t uniform.

And the advantage to doing a more rough chop is that you tend to get a much greater variety of texture. Obviously you don’t want that for everything, but getting that sudden burst of scallion flavor in one bite can really keep a meal “interesting” and so forth.

And it also makes life a LOT easier and means you can focus less on mise en place and more on not making a weeknight meal take 3 hours.

I find playing Nintendo games is always best on Nintendo systems. I use a hacked 3ds for all my handheld games including Gameboy, a hacked Wii U for Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U games, and a hacked Switch for everything else.

If their phone stuck in Android 11 in 2023, I doubt there will be any updates from OnePlus.

lloram239 , to gaming in a list of games "Ahead of their time"

Another World had the whole cinematic gaming figured out back in times the floppy disk, lengthy intro included. Took about 15 years for the rest of the industry to catch up.

Elite procedural open world universe in 3D all the way back in 1984. The sequel in 1993, Frontier: Elite II even let you land on planets.

Magic Carpet, fully destructible terrain in 1994 along with an interesting mix of (very light) RTS and FPS. Later on Red Faction and Red Faction: Guerrila offered even more destructibility. While we have some modern games like Teardown that focus on destruction, it’s still not a commonly seen feature in games. Magic Carpet is also still the most “3D” game I am aware of, supported almost everything, VR headsets, red&green glasses, even MagicEye-style auto stereograms.

EF2000, flight simulation with a full dynamic war simulated in the background. Falcon 4.0 improved on it. Carrier Command might be an even earlier example of similar mechanics. Mainstream gaming still hasn’t really had anything similar as far as I can tell and relies on scripted events instead of a simulated world.

Boulder Dash Construction Kit (1986), might not have been the first, but one of the early games including a fully featured and easy to use level editor.
