Let’s wait to see the perfs? From my understanding of the specs I don’t regret building my new pc earlier this year.
I don't doubt I'd get the brain to handle the load or die trying... Somehow the dedication in UO felt more rewarding than current systems. Lemme do 1000000 potions to level alchemy and bake 100000 breads.... it was so open.
Ultimate online is still by far the game where I have my fondest memories. I could really go for another round of that…
It's not unknown to have a lill' jar at the countertop for tipping though. But yeah it's definitively not the obnoxious crap like in the US.
How do you know that beforehand? Last I went it was basically always an expectation even out of strictly the food game...
Aren’t like most of the lemmy population in world’s 10% richest? It’s something like a yearly income of 50k isn’t it?
That’s raw…
I’m on a budget so this year it will be a simple slab. Next year I’ll put tiles in. I looked into led inserts and all but those will have to wait. I have foreseen technical conduits for those and outlets.
I have a whole… wish list… from the missus which includes pergola, jacuzzi and all but I’ll have to remind her of the notion of priority :)
I’m so far quite happy with the adventure though.
The bushes are from right to left a very ancient boxwood, lilac, currants, raspberry and then it’s mostly thuyas which we inherited from the previous owner and which I am considering to drastically reduce or replace as it’s taking a whole lotta room.
any users experience traffic shaping (throttling) when their ISPs detect heavy UDP traffic (like torrenting or IPTV) via standard VPN ports, whereas standard HTTPS traffic is generally left alone.
We don't do shaping at our side bar some specific temporary instances to mitigate DDOS attacks. Even IPTV we won't shape otherwise we stop being mere conduit and no one at ISP side wants that for very obvious juridic reasons.
Furthermore, even if the ISP only keeps metadata for internal routing and infrastructure management, those databases still exist. In an era of constant data breaches, many privacy-conscious users prefer that their connection logs simply show them connecting to standard CDNs (via TLS obfuscation) rather than persistent connections to known VPN datacenters.
As stated we don't store that information relative to our customers (unless they us to do so) but from the perspective of our border routers so there should be no concerns.
See we have this wonderful GDPR thing that keeps me fed and allows me to enforce a whole lot of privacy practices at work.
I apologize if the post came across as fear-mongering; that wasn’t the intention. Your perspective from inside the ISP infrastructure is highly valued here!
Maybe start with another title then? Something more at content provider side who are absolutely not bound to our european regulations and have commercial interests in shaping, geoloc & other...
As someone responsible for this exact topic in a european ISP you are absolutely wrong on most accounts.
And that's not even touching the purpose for which we collect connection metadata ; the collections containing this level of details is not provided to authorities on a global level, They would need a warrant to force us to do any disclosure on an individual level. We use some of that sort of data internally for the management of our infrastructure for which I fail to see how anyone would take offense in given it's from the perspective of our border routers and not on an individual basis.
Maybe you want to take your fear mongering and related advertisement to elsewhere?
Are we legally required to log connection metadata to the level allowing general identification of VPN usage?? where are you getting that from?
This was on my bucket list ; playing with a mini excavator.
Though the actual work was done by my step bro
Next I’ll do the form and order some lill stones to prep the surface, some steel reinforcement and put all in place before getting some concrete.
Today my son was having his birthday party and he requested ramen.
These are basic soy sauce ramen with the usual egg, porc and veg toppings.
Took a while to make these but worth the time given how they were appreciated by the kids :)
I wanted something more visual than usual.
The zucchini was super easy and only took 30sec of blanching before assembly.
The chicken was cooking sous-vide style
Then I briefly grilled it
And made the sauce using my frozen chicken fond
And voila :)
At some point I’ll need to buy additional plates because it’s becoming quite repetitive to always plate using the same…
Started with a craving for hummus, ended with a bit more in the plate. All was more or less cooked in the same batch in the oven so not complex or overly messing.
Doesn’t look super fancy but it sure was a tasty bomb.
All in all an easy process which started by deboning a very local chicken and dicing it
Followed by a 2h marinade in the typical garlic / ginger / soy sauce / mirim
This time I went with potato starch with a bit of usual flour in it - it was much more crispy with this tweak
I went with double deep frying so here a first pass
And the second pass
We have kids that don’t take the sauce when fully loaded with goshujang so I served the sauce in separate bowls for kids and adults instead of dipping all in the kitchen.
Et voilà :)
I tried this sorte to change from the pulled porc I usually do.
The buns - now it’s a no sweat step
Prepped the meatballs and all based on custom 80/20 mix of porc and beef
And grilled over the flame
All in all very good with a custom pickles / câpres / mayo sauce.
Long story short is : don’t bother.
The added wrap doesn’t add anything worthy taste-wise and is additional unnecessary calories honestly.
Even glazing them didn’t cancel the blandness of the wrap.
Next time I’m back to the usual Kefta skewers that are proven to be absolutely delicious.
I tried a middle-eastern filling which was delicious alone;
Honestly the best part was the accompanying sumac tomato salad
And the homemade flat bread
Though for next time I need to find a version of flat bread more buttery and layer-y if that makes sense.
Miso is a crazy addition to braise cabbage. I used the same mix into the glazing for the pork to avoid competing tastes. Delicious.
First time I’m doing the buns.
I typically don’t do baking - it requires too much precision - but a very talented colleague shared with me a recipe I had to test.
Let’s just say that if I need to sustain myself this way I would need to dramatically improve my skill at this sort of fishing.
It’s soothing though.
Not sure it was so much about good feeling. From what I read it was more about booze being less likely to grant you a plague debuff than water back in the days.
