[QUESTION] What are some of your favorite spicy/super flavorful dishes?

Looking for some inspiration, my wife’s out of town this week babysitting he grandmother with dementia, so she’s been eating a lot of very bland, old-white-lady-palate-approved meals (her grandmother once described some jarred vodka sauce as being “too spicy”)...

wfh , (edited )

I’m a pepperhead myself but my wife has a very low tolerance so I tend to cook mildly hot meals at best and add heat in my own plate. I have a fridge rack full of hot sauces.

One of my favorite dishes to unleash the hot sauce collection is homemade tacos (disclaimer, I’m not Mexican):

  • Guacamole for freshness and acidity (avocado, lime juice, chopped coriander, shallots, tabasco sauce, cumin powder, salt)
  • Elote-style sauce for richness and creaminess (50/50 mayo and heavy cream, grated garlic, chopped coriander, crumbled feta, pimienton de la Vera, corn (grilled fresh is better, canned is fine))
  • Grilled/braised protein and veggies for earthiness, umami and heat (chicken, onions, red peppers, cumin powder, coriander seeds powder, all the peppers you want, it works great with earthy or smoky peppers like ancho, chipotle, pimienton de la Vera, habanero etc.)
  • Pico de gallo for added freshness (chopped onion, chopped coriander, chopped tomato, lime juice)
  • Pickled jalapenos for acidity and heat

Put everything in the middle of the table with tortillas and have fun. It seems like a lot of stuff to do but good prep makes it easy and streamlined as a lot of ingredients are shared or similar. Every preparation is super flavorful by itself but really shines with hot sauces as you can tune brightness, earthiness and heat in each mouthful.

Substituted a knife for the spoon and caulk for peanut butter. Awful taste, horrible recipe. Do not recommend. Would put zero stars but it won’t let me.

Makes sense, I think most users I’ve seen are french speakers. Which org?

Edit: nvm I found them, it’s Les Soulèvements de la Terre. Thank you!

wfh ,

Can you simply ask them to walk through their submission line by line with you, explaining what it’s doing?

This. Code reviews, especially with junior devs, should always be done as a conversation. It’s an opportunity to learn (from both sides), not just a a bunch of “bad implementation. rewrite” thrown in the PR.

wfh ,

Came here to post that.

On my previous laptop, the trackpad had a bug that made it spam interrupts after waking up from sleep. It ruined battery life and basically kept one core at 100% permanently.

So I duct-taped a systemd script that unbound and bound the trackpad after each wake up.


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">case "$1" in
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        post)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                echo -n "i2c_designware.0" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i2c_designware/unbind
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                echo -n "i2c_designware.0" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i2c_designware/bind
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        ;;

After spending a few months on the FW16, going back to a 16:9 laptop feels… wrong. Like there’s a ton of vertical space missing. Everything except watching movies benefits from a little bit more vertical space.

wfh ,

Just tried 100% + large text on Gnome, it feels much better than 125% scaling, thanks for letting us know it’s a possibility!

wfh ,

Windows randomly nuking the EFI partition is very much more a reality.

wfh ,

I’ve never heard of Linux destroying a Windows partition unless there’s a blatant user error.

“Cloud Native” means uBlue’s OS images are basically Docker images, but meant tu run on bare metal instead of inside virtualization, that are built automatically with GitHub actions.

The project itself is super interesting. It’s not a distro, it’s an alternative automated build pipeline toolkit for Silverblue/CoreOS that lets anyone build their perfect atomic image. It’s still 100% Fedora+rpmfusion under the hood.

UBlue’s official images have massive quality of life improvements over Silverblue.

Tuxedo, Framework, Slimbook, System76, Starlabs are Linux-first vendors with an excellent track record.

wfh , (edited )

Yes. Tuxedo is German, Slimbook Spanish, Starlabs British, NovaCustom Dutch… Framework is US/Taiwanese but sells within select EU countries and the UK. AFAIK S76 is US/Canada only.

Edit: most of these actually ship worldwide but won’t collect VAT and probably won’t honor warranty claims outside their territory.

It’s like buying an electric sports car and immediately converting it to diesel.

Regular Linux distros have 30+ years of history. It’s what most of us are used to. Immutable/atomic/transactional OSes are relatively recent hence the relatively low adoption rate.

Also, atomic OSes are, by nature, much harder to tinker with. After all, the goal is to provide the exact same image for all users. As a power user, it’s a bit frustrating. As a new user, having a virtually unborkable system is excellent.

If you plan on installing an atomic variant of Fedora, may I suggest uBlue Aurora instead of Fedora Kinoite? It is based on Silverblue/Kinoite but includes by default, among other QOL improvements, the restricted-licence codecs that must be manually installed in official Fedora products.

wfh ,

You can layer basically any RPM onto the base system with rpm-ostree, but it’s slow and inefficient, or you can install anything from any distro by spinning a container with Distrobox and exporting the command to your main system.

wfh ,

Oh yeah thanks I forgot about brew. TBH the only uBlue machine I’m currently playing with is destined to be my dad’s new computer, so he’s not expected to get anywhere near the command line :D

wfh ,

Hardware acceleration mostly.

wfh OP ,

Maintainer team size matters in the long run. CachyOS is maintained by 3 people, Nobara by one single person.

wfh OP ,

I pondered a lot including a bit about rpmfusion in Fedora’s paragraph, but I elected not to because there is already too much stuff here :D

As a 20-years Debian user who switched to Fedora a couple years ago on my main laptop, I would say confidently that Debian is the distro I’m the most comfortable with. I love Debian. But, there are a couple things that prevent me from recommending it as a very first distro:

  • The base system is very barebones and you’re required to manually install vital things like proprietary drivers (I think it’s a bit more painless now with the nonfree installer but I haven’t installed a fresh Debian in a few years). For me, having a fully functional Debian laptop is not hard work but requires a bit of knowledge beforehand.
  • A lot of people want the latest and shiniest, and with Debian might be tempted to switch to Testing or Sid which is a very bad idea for a daily driver.

Good call about Kalpa, I’m removing it

wfh OP ,

Good call about Atomic distros, I’m adding some precisions.

wfh OP ,

Sorry, I’m not a native English speaker and I work in IT :D

I however believe that it’s more useful in the long run to use correct terminology (with a small explanation if necessary) rather than “dumbing it down”, as it makes finding pertinent information quicker/easier.

wfh OP ,

You’re welcome!

Yeah I think the recent nonfree images should take care of the most pressing driver issues (last time I installed Debian, I had to separately download and put on a second USB stick the drivers for my WiFi card just to be able to proceed with the installer). I don’t know if you still need to manually install proprietary blobs for the CPU or the GPU post-install tho. If not, that would mean modern Debian is indeed very close to OOTB functionality.

wfh OP ,

I’m doing an experiment right now. I’m giving my previous laptop to my dad to replace his very old, very close to death MacBook Air. I’ve installed Bluefin, rebased to the Stable branch and keeping everything else stock.

We’ll see how it goes :D

wfh OP ,

FWIW I ran my gaming rig on Manjaro for a couple of years.

It doesn’t need constant maintenance, and it doesn’t break. The whole point of it is to be a stable variation of Arch.

It does need regular maintenance, as highlighted in every single stable update announcement. It doesn’t break if you follow these maintenance steps when relevant to your install. It is absolutely not stable (as in Debian Stable or RHEL or SLES stable) as things are moving quickly. It might be “stable” as in “crash-free”, but it is not “stable” stable. And as I said, after running it for 2 years, I’m not convinced it’s that crash-free either. I remember an era (I think 5.9-ish kernel series) that crashed all the time.

It doesn’t have a highly irregular update schedule, it’s quite regular — every two weeks

Okay, almost-semi-regular then.

AUR doesn’t “expect” anything, it’s a dumping ground where anybody can put anything.

True, AUR is not sentient. AUR creators, on the other hand, are overwhelmingly Arch users who builds their scripts targeting an up-to-date Arch system.

Fuck I wasted 30000 characters when I should’ve posted this instead :D

This is REAL Linux, done by REAL Linuxians.

“Hello I would like sudo pacman -Syyu apples please”

They have played us for absolute fools.

wfh OP ,

I think Ubuntu was relevant 15 years ago, when Linux was scary. Nowadays, it’s neither easier to install nor to use than, say, Fedora for example. I’d even say any current distro with a live CD and a graphical installer is easier to install than Ubuntu 15 years ago.

The fact that Canonical has successfully commercialised Linux doesn’t always sit well with some people in the spirit of FOSS Linux, but they have also done a great deal to widen the distribution and appeal of Linux.

I agree with the second part but not the first. Linux would be nowhere near what it is today without some serious corporate investments, so commercial Linux is a good thing (or a necessary evil depending on your POV). The largest kernel contributors are large IT and hardware companies, after all.

What’s bad about Ubuntu is that the “free” version is an inferior product, like a shareware of old. The biggest commercial competitors like SLES or RHEL are downstream from excellent community distros (OpenSuse and Fedora, respectively).

The community support, forums and official documentation are most useful. I don’t currently use Ubuntu, but use their resources frequently.

Fortunately that knowledge can be used downstream and often upstream too. After all, most Ubuntu issues are Debian Sid issues.

wfh OP ,

Thanks !

wfh OP ,

“Hate” is a strong word. I don’t hate Ubuntu. It’s just irrelevant.

It’s not alone anymore in the realm of “easy to install and use”, and ongoing enshittification nagging you to upgrade to Pro™️ makes it an objectively worse product than its direct competitors.

Grind settings are widely different for each bean, it’s normal. Depends on a lot of factors (origin, variety, altitude, roast etc).

Lighter roasts tend to need slightly longer ratios (~1:2.5 to ~1:3.5), darker roasts shorter ratios (~1:2). Faster shots (20-25s) are usually fine.

As for channeling issues, puck prep is of paramount importance but I’m not sure how much prep you can introduce in this machine’s workflow. Counterintuitively, channeling is often caused by grinding too fine, but the water rushing in the channels actually make the shot much faster. If you can WDT between grinding and tamping, it would solve a lot of issues.

wfh ,

Yay for full stainless steel! You can fully clean it with Cafiza/Pulycaff for a perfect cup!

wfh ,

Funny, I bought the same model yesterday on a clearance sale 😅

Still figuring it out too, I might use it as a travel brewer next to my Flair and/or my wife’s Aeropress.

As an aside I tested all the parts with a magnet and it’s full stainless, so you can thoroughly clean it with PulyCaff or Cafiza unlike Aluminium ones.

wfh ,

Add a bit of oil as a “thermal paste”/interface between the adapter and the pot. I use a tiny frying pan as an adapter for my Turkish cevze and it’s night and day.

wfh ,

It’s stainless steel, so Puly Caff.

wfh ,

I mean, it’s just a quick soapy sponge wipe and you should clean your moka pot after each use anyway.

wfh OP , (edited )

Yeah honestly even if it’s objectively better than a popcorn popper, I’m not sure it’s 10x-the-price better 😅

wfh OP , (edited )

Absolute madman.

(Ok I know it’s super normal and traditional in some places like Ethiopia, but super fresh beans are horrible it’s like licking an ashtray, you need to rest them at least a few days/weeks)

wfh OP ,

Haha what changed?

wfh OP ,

Infinite quality/price ratio!

wfh OP , (edited )

This is a perfectly valid point of view, and for the first few months, I seriously doubted I could ever match a decent roaster. Now I can make exquisite coffee. Meh coffee too, don’t get me wrong. But the more I learn, the more I can trust my instincts, the more I’m able to unlock some potential by tweaking temperature or time into 1C. Some beans still elude me (I had a Sidamo that smelled heavenly when green but that I could never roast properly), but it’s, I think, true for most roasters except the very best. For me it’s the ultimate step into complete coffee obsession. You need to truly know your beans to roast them properly. And then I can still play with grind size and temperature and pressure and time when pulling shots to make the best out of them.

I image if ventilated safely and well it likely gives off a rewarding aroma too?

Once the smoke is gone from the kitchen, the smell of freshly roasted coffee lingering in the house for the rest of the day… Man this is just heaven, makes you crave a nice cup instantly.

wfh OP ,

Thanks!

TBH I didn’t start roasting because of time or money considerations. It’s just another hobby that aligns with the coffee-obsessive lifestyle. The fact that it might eventually become more cost effective than buying roasted beans was definitely not the highest in my list of priorities :D

wfh ,

Is it really worse tho? A single build, against a single runtime, free from distro specificities, packaged by the devs themselves instead of offloading the work on distro maintainers?
