  • Rarebit is basically bread, sometimes potatoe bread drizzled with a hot cheese sauce that includes beer or ale, mustard and Worcestershire sauce mixed with cheddar or goat cheese served on potato bread.

    For the tomato soup, consider adding leeks and a goat milk or Pantysgawn (soft goat cheese) and Coriander (Cilantro) topper... assuming you wanna keep it traditionally Welsh.

    edit: Forgot to add; that looks really good. Inspiring me to make that soon.

  • Still waiting for that DDR5 update so I can download more RAM... Funny how old memes can make a full recovery to relevance.

  • Let's not and say we did...

  • Minix and FreeBSD...

  • No, you were just a choir boy who enjoyed the additional "1:1" priestly attention.

    "What are you doing, Father?”

    “It’s called masturbating and you’ll be doing it soon too.” The priest replied.

    “Why, Father?”

    “Because my wrist is killing me.” The priest replied.

  • Best there is right there. I only can seem to find it at BevMo though.

  • They put their brand before user security and sustainability. And still have the gall to claim to be ethical.

    Wait wait wait. Where does Vivaldi say that in any way? On the contrary, they're pretty damned clear about

    Their brand https://vivaldi.com/for-a-better-web/

    Vivaldi is headquartered In Norway, proudly employee-owned, with no external investors pulling the strings. This means we make decisions that are best for you, not for shareholders’ profit. We build the browser we want to use, listening to our users to create a web experience that’s free, powerful, and uniquely yours.

    Their user security https://vivaldi.com/privacy/browser/

    We strictly protect the security of any and all personal information you provide to us while using Vivaldi products and services. We do not share or sell information to any third party and we proactively protect all user data from disclosure, with the only exception being if requested by legitimate law agencies with a court order.

    and their sustainability https://umatechnology.org/why-vivaldis-anti-ai-browser-is-great-news-for-humanity/

    So I'm sorry, but your own comment sounds absurd because it lacks any proof thereof.

    None are so cursed as those who fail to learn from history.

    No disagreement there, but Vivaldi isn't repeating anything that's been tried before. Vivaldi is an employee owned company that wants to succeed, wants to offer the best interface, security and features to the general public it can whilst simultaneously keeping itself uniquely true to its values and survival. Gee, so horrible of it to want to scrape a living for its employee owners. Ridiculousness indeed.

  • I get the resentment for closed source and the love for FOSS, but just because it's closed doesn't mean it's bad.

    I've been a Slackware user since 1994 and if you've ever used sg3_utils or lsscsi, you've used my code lol.

    I just cannot commit to fanboing like that as there's reasons even today not to gnu everything. Vivaldi has a descent reason too https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/why-isnt-vivaldi-browser-open-source/

  • that wasn't the question lol.

  • Vivaldi for me.

    It is based on Opera, but is nothing like the Opera company, does a really good job at blocking ads out of the box and is lighter in ram than FF android.

    edit: Vivaldi also holds a zero AI policy. https://vivaldi.com/blog/keep-exploring/

  • You may want to look elsewhere if you need a gluten free specific twist as this one can use wheat flower or spelt wheat flour, but here's the base for what I do:

    https://www.asweetpeachef.com/sweet-potato-tortillas/

    Super easy with a Vitamix or similar good blender (step 3 after baking I skin and blend them), then I use a dough scraper to man handle it with the flour and salt directly on the table.

    If you make it and feel it needs more fluffiness, add 1/2 cup or 100 grams of baking soda and a bit of salt to start.

    It matches well with melted Queso Oaxaca and a sprig of cilantro dipped in limon btw... classic mexican quesadilla with a twist.

  • sweet potato tortillas, try those next.

    good, cheap and sustainable

  • rare and/or endangered animal's bones typically.

  • Oh no, I'm still too depressed from last year's Gothmas...

  • Nicolas Jacques Pelletier

    One of the first guillotine victims, his execution reportedly failed initially due to a poorly fitted lunette (headrest) and a dull blade, requiring multiple attempts and hacks to finish, according to historical reports.

  • I have 3 lenovo thinksystem racks with the oldest being from 2015 and the newest v3 from late last year. I also have various other servers and storage of theirs.

    They, Lenovo CAN be good, BUT Lenovo dislikes customers who want to have a 7-10yr life cycle and while we strive to keep it at 5-6 years, some have to go to 7-8 which is where Lenovo gets shitty. Lenovo supports their stuff for 5 years and that's literally not even arguable because they say it everywhere. Yes, you can keep it as long as you want but they, Lenovo will not support it. This is where I try to use HPE as they allow some of their products to get updates for decades... HPE MSA storage, Alletra/Nimble storage and HPE DL3xx servers specifically. We're also an Aruba shop, which is now HPE so it just works best for us.

    I'm with you on the ridiculous iLO / BMC crap though.

  • Longer than 30 years I assure you.

    I buy HPE where I can, but "stop buying their shit" isn't in any company guidelines and even people like me who dictate what the company buys ends up dealing with Dell and Lenovo server dogshit systems from other vendors.

    Literally unavoidable.

  • Dell Premier Business actually and their servers aren't bad.

    Their service and support however are absolutely worthless.

  • needs more skin shade options

  • 32 minutes waiting for Dell Tech Support

    Finally get in and they say their system is down.

    Is your system based on ChatGPT? I asked.

    I think so she says.

    fml. ridiculous.
