Bill Cosby comes to mind. Creepy and not at all funny. Never understood the appeal.

Fine with me if the victim wants to express forgiveness in a personal or spiritual sense but that should be irrelevant to the criminal case. There should be consequences when a Judge / court fails its duty to serve justice and protect the broader community.

My experience has been that LibreOffice will not correctly render my .csv files when they are above a certain size. Not talking about big data here either like a few thousand rows. For this reason I use OnlyOffice instead.

Of course you can use a regular oven but the bread machine makes it so easy that we bake a loaf couple times a week. FYI bread machines do it all: dump and bake style. They knead the dough and such. The machine can also make pizza dough or dough for burger buns, dinner rolls, etc. to bake in the oven. In terms of GF baking it can be pretty tricky and the Zojirushi in particular has a GF setting that delivers great results. Great value for our family.

Our household recently picked up a Zojirushi bread machine. We must eat gluten free for medical reasons and GF bread from the supermarket is very expensive around $9 for a mini loaf of bread that crumbles and molds. We are finding it very cost effective to make our own breads.

What do you want to self host? To learn or experiment buy a cheap old x86 box. I get mine at goodwill auction. Otherwise desktop is good if you want something that needs more compute and that you’d spin up as needed vs always on.

Pop!_OS runs great on my intel MBP.

I go with second-hand hardware. Depending on your needs might be good savings.

Firefox for personal. I like Edge for work stuff.

I've been hearing good things about Debian 12 and it was easier than ever to install on this old T61p.

Wanted to give Bookworm a test drive and happy to report it's smooth sailing using Gnome with a few tweaks from System76. Only took 8m 28s to compile pop launcher on the Core 2 Duo.

It's hard taking pictures in the dark. We went to see the Glowfari lanterns at the Oakland Zoo and this was my favorite photo. I like the composition with my daughter here looking at the clam shell but I always struggle with how dark is too dark and wonder if I should brighter up the subject a bit.

This refinery is local to me and pictured from the wetlands on its outskirts. I made this image using a "time stack" technique I first saw from the photographer Matt Molloy.

Any recommendations for GF beers?

I like Buck Wild's West Coast IPA and Glutenberg's IPA and Pale Ale are both good. What are you drinking?

Pretty easy dinner if you have an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker. I like to make this whenever the meat is a good price. I use either London broil or a tri tip. Tastes great made with GF Soy Sauce (I use Kikkoman) or Tamari or coconut aminos. I've done all three it's great every time but my favorite is the Kikkoman GF soy sauce. I add crimini mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs London broil, boneless
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil (we need a nice bottle)
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • for garnish Toasted sesame seeds, optional
  • 1/2 cup GF soy sauce or Tamari
  • 4 servings hot cooked rice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Season beef with pepper. Put olive oil in the cooking pot and select browning or saute. When oil begins to sizzle, brown meat in batches until all meat is browned - do not crowd. Transfer meat to a plate when browned.

  2. When all meat is browned select Saute and add chopped onion to the pot. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes until onion starts to soften. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more.

  3. Add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

  4. Add browned beef and any accumulated juices. Select High Pressure. Set timer for 12 minutes.

  5. Steam broccoli.

  6. When beep sounds turn pressure cooker off and use quick pressure release. When valve drops carefully remove the lid.

  7. In a cup combine cornstarch and water; stir until smooth. Add to pressure cooker pot. Stir well to combine. Select browning or saute and stir until sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Add steamed broccoli.

  8. Serve over hot, cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds.

We've been enjoying this dish. Pretty easy meal if you like salmon.

From the linked URL:

Salmon fillets cook quickly and are coated with a delicious creamy sauce made with tomatoes, zucchini and Italian seasoning. This easy salmon dinner is sure to become a new weeknight favorite the whole family will love. The best news: you can get this meal on the table in 20 minutes flat.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Directions

  1. Pat salmon dry and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until the underside is browned and releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the salmon and continue to cook until opaque in the center, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, zucchini and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add wine. Cook, stirring, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the cream cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Return the salmon to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve topped with basil.
