Baking, brewing, and cooking are berry important hearth-building and health-building skills. They are a surefire way to make yourself /comfy/, Anon! What are you baking, brewing, or cooking at the moment? How is it coming out? What will you be trying next time? Is there anything you'd like to try improving? Is there something you'd like to learn? Maybe you have something you'd like to teach us? I tried some old things and new things today! Pics related are: >the bread I made earlier today; a shrimple white cobb loaf. This was the first time I was just able to make it from memory. It felt great to be able to just reach for the ingredients and go through the motions. As luck wood have it, the prove went well and the slashes formed up beautifully. I was worried that the crumb inside wood be a little wet but it turned out berry nice with a good chewy crust. The loaf is wrapped in beeswax cloth now so I can eat it over the week. I'm considering getting a sourdough starter going but I don't know if I'm good enough to handle it yet. >my first attempt at glazing carrots Apparently glazing (which I have found out is different from caramelising) is a basic technique that even professionals find difficult to get perfect eberry time. I think my first attempt here had just a touch too little water and a touch too little sugar, though I reckon I got the butter correct. See how the finished carrots don't have an even glaze? They still tasted berry good with some parsley and finishing

Besides i just use plenty of salt,oil and vinegar. The holy trinity of pickling. My cousin once made it deliberately (said it was to kill rats) and his method was rather forward. Hmm. Will look into it. Thanks

I just felt like mentioning that I've been eating this with dried chipotle peppers lately, and I find that it works much better than the Tien Tsin and Thai peppers I was using earlier. Those ones were so hot that I've been having problems eating them. I'd get hiccups, runny noses, and was drinking a ton to try and counteract the heat and wood have to stop eating. The chipotles are both milder and add a more noticeable flavor due to their smokiness. The others just felt like they added pure heat. I've never had a problem with the chili peppers that I've had in meals from Chinese restaurants, which I think were Tien Tsins, so I don't know why that is.

Since the family was sick, we're celebrating Christmas Eve a little later than usual.
For tonight, I've made some Cantal cheese gougères.
It's the first time I've ever worked with choux pastry, and I'm bretty pleased with myself :)

Divulge your failures, your triumphs, and your struggles from the day. No event too small to mention!

Today, I had a lot of fun cleaning the floors in the home. I ran up and down the hallway with a soapy towel, got on my hands and knees and scooby-doo scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors, and was completely exhausted and satisfied by the end of it.

Update. The car didn't want to start one day. My poor boy is eternally borked. Costs of fixing the electrical issues up are beyond what I bought it for because my mechanic also discovered broken brake lines.

I'm going to sell as many parts in it as I can and scrap it, then look for another car. Man, it habbened just the day after I filled up the tank and my Aliexpress order of random crap came in. (I wanted to fix the fabric on the roof and decorate the back with a croissant plushie.) After new years I'll be looking for a new car. I'm not sure if I'll be looking for another french car, or at least my budget doesn't allow me to buy a french car that is reliable. (I really want to use that croissant plushie somewhere.) Always wanted a Skoda, but my other part of my brain is telling me I should not be normal and go for something extravagant, like a coupe cabrio or a car with an automatic gearbox.

My thesis isn't really important to me. I enlisted into the cheapest uni I could find so that my mother woodn't kick me out of the house back then, and that should tell you eberrything about my living situation. My current pay doesn't allow me to rent even the smallest apartment in my city.

As for my job, I have done some research (asked chatgpt) about my paygrade. Turns out for the work that I'm doing I should be paid 2k pln more. My yearly performance review is coming up and I'm just gonna say that if I'

NTA. Buying another car is a sizeable investment. No one needs to tell you that much. Why not learn to service the one you have? Treat it like a job, and just do what it takes to learn. Smooze with (other) mechanics trying to glean what you can.

At the very least, you can fix a damaged brake line on your own.

Good luck, Anon. Just like before, we believe in you!  :)

I've still got family to visit on Christmas Day too. All my presents are opened and eberrything, but I'm going to go see some of my grandparents. I don't think it's going to be enjoyable, but they're not in good health at all and it feels like the right thing to do.

One of my long time friends introduced me half-assedly to Planetside 2. He was just quacking around with his friend but I decided to take the game more seriously. I tried to learn about how to actually play the game and not teamkill each other in tanks.
I got into a big clan but it was bretty much cacae. One of the berry large and always open clans. No communication, no cooperation, just some guys placing markers on a map and hoping the randoms actually go there. The game started to frustrate me because of how ineffective I was alone.
Then I found an open squad with people who just by how they communicated sounded like they have a modicum of knowing what they were doing. Actual quacking coordination. Then they advertised themselves at the end of the day and I decided to join their discord.

I had a blast. I played religiously with them for almost a year during covid. I felt like I never met so many people I wanted to be around with for so long. The leader went on a power trip though, since the rest of the group stopped playing the game. Some shifted to other titles. The leader decided to make a rule so that the discord server is only for playing Star Citizen, a game most of us weren't interested.
Some other guy just made a discord of his own so we could play anything else. The leader got mad at some point and kicked 90% of the original clan members.
We still chill out with eac

I used to record my dreams and analyze them myself, but I started on medication not too long ago which seems to make them all nightmares. So I try my best to forget them these days.

The last one I remember was me in a room with my father. He was training me to throw better, but I wasn't sure why. He kept on getting me to drill this one particular motion, where I was to throw an object out of a window in my old house I lived at as a kid and let it get lost in the bushes. Later the police arrived and he gave me the object to throw as they entered my house. In that moment I realize he wanted me to hide evidence, probably drugs. I felt disappointed in him, and as if I had never really known him at all.

This is a weird one considering that I don't get on with my father, and he is maybe the person most opposed to drug use in my life. Not that I even do anything beyond weed myself, and that's only about twice a year.

Lived long enough in spartan conditions to know that I'm quite ready and able to do it. I've done my stay in a cot on a navy boat down through the Suez and back a dozen times, living out of a cramped 1x3' locker for 9 months at a time. No man truly needs significant space. If you have room to lift your body with your limbs and to cook, you have enough space.
>It's time I hit the open road, boys
I saved up for a year so I don't have to finance anything. It's time to buy the van. I've got a few prospects in mind that I've been scouting out for half a year. One specific pre-built that has all my needs and wants covered. I do want to custom build one day, but today is not that day. Next year or the one after, maybe. More saving!
I'm pretty aware of the trials and tribulations of van life. I camp a lot already and again there was the military on various boats small and large. I am berry averse to staying in one place for too long and I can't really see myself continuing to rent. I don't know what I want off this post other than to give my friends something to talk about for awhile on a cozy night, but if there's any full timer's out there please respond. Anyone less active in their travels are welcome as well! Let's talk the outdoors and alternate lifestyles.
By the way, I'm going full in on an E-350 with an extendable top so I can actually stand my 6' tall self up in there!

So long as  you only need text and an occasional file transfer I think the situation is bretty fine. The last time I tried Dino and Gajim could do the job. Though I didn't like Dino much because it advertises itself as "modern", while heavily relying on libadwaita and vala. I just can't trust anything that is so close to the "modern" GNOME community. I prefer to stay away from them. Though I just checked gajim and it depends on libadwaita as well, kek. IIRC that wasn't always the case?
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/gajim
https://packages.debian.org/sid/gajim
So this libadwaita cancer is a new thing. Sad, berry sad. Still, I guess you could just use an older version instead. I don't know anything about other XMPP clients, but probably they'll support at least text.

That actually depends on the details. It's hard to tell what exactly you mean without you telling the details. The last time I tried using gajim, a few years back, it was mostly fine. My only problem with it was that I essentially just spent an hour talking to myself and then deleted it.

Probably provider's issues, XMPP is a lot like mail after all, so similar problems occur. Dunno about plugins, but I believe you.
