  • I’m aware but why would anyone use the bleached flour? I mean are they marketed as bleached flour or are they just named white flour ?

    Shouldn’t be it the other way arround? The unbleached flour is the actual normal flour and the bleached flour should be called “bleached flour” to make people aware of the treatment? Kinda wild…

    But I digress, your cake still looks yummi and I still want to eat some ! 🥹




  • I haven’t heard of Mathy, but it seems to be a math tool?

    From what I gathered, miniconda is like pipx or venv. It’s able to create python virtual environments.

    But I’m very new to all of this so I’m not really a good source. However after experimenting with either of them (venv, pip or miniconda) I found miniconda the easiest to use, but that’s also probably a skill issue.

    I was genuinely asking because their could be something I wasn’t aware of because yeah I’m new to all of this. (proprietary, bugs, not the right tool…

    You seem related to programming, maybe you could give me some pointers here?


  • Some people will probably disagree with me but I consider Debian stable as a server distribution not as a daily drive system.

    Debian testing is probably the better choice if you want to daily drive Debian or consider or more up to date distro. If you’re relatively new to GNU/Linux, don’t bother with bleeding edge distros or exotics ones like Arch, EndeavourOS, Gentoo, NixOS…

    If you find your way to distrowatch.com you will see EndeavourOS very high in the rankings, but it’s a rolling release distribution. While it’s easier to maintain/install than Arch, it has a learning curve and needs regular attention and reading the docs/forum.

    I have seen a lot of people recommend the following:

    • Linux mint
    • Pop! OS
    • Fedora
    • OpenSUSE



  • Went 2 weeks there:

    • First week was only about diving and was probably the most beautiful thing I will ever see in my life.

    • Second week was about visiting the monuments and while they are astonishing cultural and historical bangers (except the pyramids which are impressive from the outside but just some dull stones in the inside) people living there (even those running restaurants or hotels) are invasive as fuck and not worthile your time…

    However we also rentend an airbnb for 2 days and even if the room was clean it looked a bit gloomy but the guy was very nice and friendly we even ate a pizza with him and watched a local TV movie (some sharknado rip from their country XD). It was a way better experience than In a stared hotel with all commodities…

    In general, going the tourist way is mostly a bad experience in every country.



  • Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

    If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

    If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

    I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

    That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.









  • Not sure if this is what happend, but there is a sync option in samba where you can sync your samba user password with login user password.

    However this needs explicitly be stated in the samba.conf and needs some further configuration. It could be possible that the installation fuckedup something with passwd.

    Just guessing here, I played a bit arround with samba and password syncing.
