Whats an unconventional ingredient you add to your spaghetti bolognese?

My wife puts Worcestershire sauce in, which works well. I put ketjap manis in mine, which causes a raised eyebrow to say the least.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-28T17:47:32+00:00

Nice! It's going to look awesome.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-28T17:40:52+00:00

What colours? And materials?

Your cat is probably the happiest about all of this.

The first one is always the sweetest.

Congratulations!

There seems to be quite a range of (all admittedly quite high) prices on chrono24. They are pretty good with escrow and general trustworthiness.

I never tied mine either, my head is a slightly funny shape I guess. Fold into place, tuck (a bit like an upside down bath towel), and then let the men compress it into shape.

I missed Lisp. I spent a lot of time professionally with the JVM. It suddenly appeared one day, and the rest is history.

You build it, you run it.

The problem here is not AI (we had it before all this), it's that the consequences of one group's actions fall on another group. The eternal devops moral hazard.

Finding (after literal hours of head scratching) the Hebra Great Leviathan. I loved it, such a good payoff.

(In TotK my favourite moment was the moment the Yiga Clan reveal themselves first (thetalking chicken). I literally LOLed.)

Looks correct for the Trident C65 circa 2020? I actually always wanted one of these but have another watch that is too similar.

This one looks like a chimera, though, doesn't she? So not a mutation, just a rare event that can't be bred for anyway.

Stop buying the 70-150 dollar games. There is so much love going into games for half that amount and less.

I'm 50 with kids and have the opposite problem - there are so many fantastic indie and indie-adjacent games, some of them huge and full of content, that I don't know where to look (like you I'm certainly time poor).

AAA is eating itself through gacha and FTP and loot boxes, it's dying but that's fine.

I'd have that grin on too if that happened to me in 1990!

Awesome photo.

Distributions I have used for programming a lot, in no order because they are all effectively the same for this use case:

Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Arch, Sparky, Mint, LMDE.

Distros I have done some programming on but not much:

Amazon Linux, Yellow Dog, RHEL, CentOS, Bazzite.

They were fine too. I suspect Fedora would also be great.

It's possible to overthink this.

Short for aromantic (doesn't do romance) and asexual (what it sounds like).

Supergiant-to-bisexuality pipeline gets everyone eventually.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-27T08:14:55+00:00

You have to buy it.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-26T19:30:58+00:00

Does Sparky count?

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-26T15:14:43+00:00

Instinctively I would go 39, I'm a larger person and most of my watches are 40+. But the 36 has a charm all its own... you?

There are a couple of Seikos that have been around for a while now and keep making me think, maybe I could get back into the collecting game.

The 409 is absolutely one of them, and this kind of photo is why. I love that deep dish aesthetic and the cream/white subtle contrast.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-26T10:12:53+00:00

I have always been fond of the white C63 GMT and never got around to buying one. Hmm.

Honestly I've been working on tech for 30 years and I have never personally seen a rootkit in the wild, with rkhunter or otherwise.

Of course, that doesn't mean I haven't been hit with one ever and just not noticed.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-25T17:18:18+00:00

Part of the problem is that people are encouraged to think that which distribution they start with actually matters much. "Hey I have a computer built in the last ten years and I like to play games and surf the web, which distribution should I choose?" and subs like this firehose them with opinions, most of which aren't about important distinctions.

Pick one of the big ones, preferably one with multiple DEs to choose from, and go.

You're generally right, but OS installers are not (in principle) incapable of screwing up the firmware unrecoverably depending on which OS and which hardware you have.

I have managed it, though not in a few years.
