I just do it “raw”, using an IP denylist built into my client KTorrent. No problems for a while. But, I mostly do different media than you. (I do TV.)

Sorry, you got “sniped”; I’ve already given away my 3, and I won’t get more until the new year.

Maybe you can score one from someone else?

Same here on both counts.

First 3 replies to this post asking for a guest pass will get one from me. It’s a free month of viewing anything through Nebula. (I recommend “The Prince” and “Lynchpins”.)

My parents would say you just haven’t been hungry enough. Their parents lived through the great depression. I wouldn’t know, but I hear people are having to make food/medicine trade offs, which seems more dire than flavor/texture preference tradeoffs.

That said, I don’t know a protein source that’s as available and cheap as beans, but you might try insects if cheap is the priority or poultry if availability is your priority.

You can buy a large bag of frozen vegetable blend and steam it fairly simply. You can either steam single serving and keep the rest frozen OR steam the whole bag in bulk, and refrigerate for up to a week, reheating single servings as you need them.

Best of luck.

Yeah, no. I cooked my own beans from dry and I was still overly gassy for a bit.

Best sloppy joes I ever had were mostly TVP. It is really great at absorbing the lipids from the meat AND spices.

I have always hated soaking beans, which is why the Instant Pot has been one of the single greatest cooking inventions I have ever used.

Exactly why I bought mine. Any pressure cooker will do. Beans (red, pinto, or black) 1 : 2 with water for 40 minutes, followed by natural release. I use roughly a pint of dried beans (1lb bag, then topped up out of a mixed-beans bag), to get 9 large servings.

I also do quinoa in the same cooker 1 : 5/4 with water (or sub up to half the water with stock) for 0 minutes (just bring up to high pressure), followed by natural release. I use 3 cups dry to make 9 servings.

Depending on your spice budget, you might feel like you are getting more by applying right before eating. But, if you want the spice flavors to permeate the beans, it’s best to add them to the pot and warm them just a bit with the saute setting before adding the beans (or quinoa/rice/grains) and water.

If you eat meat, miscut ham is also a good addition to the beans before cooking – they will share lipids and flavors.

I use nooch as a topping for mine, to try to keep it vegan, but what I really like is a Mexican shredded cheese blend.

Oh, don’t worry, open source (or, worse, Free Software) apps won’t be allowed on Android or Apple devices, soon. /s

I think co-ops are the way to go, but I can understand that someone “just” wanting to purchase the good/service might not see the difference between a co-op and corporation like Amazon.

I don’t think it’s a size issue really, but co-ops generally stay smaller in part due to how they are internally organized compared to a “median” corporation.

I also think that the government actually does a pretty good job at managing things; it’s just their failures are public. Private boondoggles might drive many people into bankruptcy, but they aren’t publicized any more than absolutely necessary.

Nien! Blockade must be impenetrable. Nien! Nien! Nien!

I pay for it, because I’ve always watched a lot of it and I got used to “YouTube Premium” when it was called “YouTube Red” and came free with “Google Music” (now called “YouTube Music”).

It’s easier for me to us Patreon, because I’m already supporting a few other people/organizations there.

I’ve never used Ko-fi for a subscription.

I can’t recommend GitLab* but they also have a pages feature that I use. E.g.: https://bss03.gitlab.io/halogen-lambda/

*: At least one of their leaders is a MAGA collaborator, and the organization is pushing AI in the common, dishonest methods.

When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can’t find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.

I seed, but I’m behind a NAT I don’t control without port forwarding, so I’m not a good seed.

Maybe I will do the seedbox VPS thing… after I get employed again.

I have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in my resolver configuration. I’ve heard that 9.9.9.9 might not be poisoned like this. Besides running my own DNS (not even on a dare), is there a good way to get uncensored DNS resutls?

https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Bittorrent-like_features/ – Use IPFS as a special git-annex remote, and it will be nearly impossible to execute a take-down.

If you have other “decentralized filesystems” that have “better” behavior than IPFS, you might see if joeyh or yourself can add them as other special remotes.

Having only cooked on radiant electric and gas, I gotta say I prefer the experience of cooking on gas, but not by enough to accept the documented risks, even if they are small. I hope at some point I’ll be able to have an induction range top as my primary.
