  • "arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society."

    Ahh yes, the injustice of the millennium. Abusive, asshole men can't keep their wives against their will...

  • Anyone ever swap careers from Corporate to Non-Profit or some other Cause: If so, how?
  • I've been at my current job, which is a nonprofit in the social services industry for 10 years. I didn't intentionally choose this industry but j found I'm very comfortable here. It can be a stressful job at times, but what job isn't.

    Theres no money in most non profits. However I've never hated my job the biggest downside aside from salary, I don't have the budget, tools, or resources to do what I'd like at times. I also tend to wear every hat in our small IT dept. A distinct difference I've found in the non profits I've worked for is company culture is so much better. Ymmv depending on the industry and size, but people who stick with the company are usually in it for the mission. This tends to weed out the "bad eggs".

    I have a hard time stepping away from my job even tho j could easily make $50k more at a for profit company. I'm not sad about my choices even tho I'd certainly like to be paid more. I don't live to work though, and the job doesn't demand it of me so it makes for a decent work/life balance.

  • How do you recall your most used commands?
  • I don't do much with bash since I primarily do windows admin, but I run into the same issue with powershell.

    I have a document in VSCode that I store frequently used commands and any kind of notation/documentation I need to take advantage of it in the future. It's a lot of one or two liners for stuff I know I'm going to forget, like the once a month hyperv cluster update command 😂.

    Similarly I've added functions to the powershell local and global profiles on my computer/group policy. (contextually similar to bashrc, bash_profile, that load when launching interactive or non interactive shells, as well as user context) That way i can easily execute repeptive commands without having to think!

    Basically, I think we all have the same problem and we've forgotten more than we know lol

  • Ultimate Nachos, first ever attempt!
  • I used my nacho leftovers to make tacos today after picking up some meat from a carniciera!

    I typically use parchment paper for everything. The cleanup wasn't too bad, somehow my sheetpan remains fairly stick-free even after the abuse I frequently put it through, though I admit after I saw the mess on the sheetpan after the food was eaten, I had regretted not using parchment lol.

    I did two-layers of chips with some sauce, and lots of cheese, on the first layer and second layer. I loaded the top layer with all the rest of the fixings and left a hole in the center for the guacamole and sour cream. I wanted no chip to be dry and disappointing!

  • Ultimate Nachos, first ever attempt!
  • Radish is super common in Southern California at Mexican places. They're often served raw and pickled. They work surprisingly well with all the flavors. Thanks for backing me up!

    Now go make some reverse seared steak nachos 😁

    My Ultimate Loaded Nachos, (first ever attempt).

    Icarus shared a post

    I had been craving nachos (my favorite food group!) for several weeks. Going out with my partner to get some has been challenging because of our hectic schedules lately so I decided on my free evening after work last Friday, I would get busy making my dreams come true.

    Everything in these nachos (aside from the obvious products such as the dairy products) were all made from scratch! I took inspiration from a few recipes for components and assembly (BA's Fully Loaded Nachos, Serious Eats Ultimate Nachos), but this is ultimately just something I dreamed up and executed!

    My first ever Ultimate Nachos with:

    • roasted tomato salsa with chipotle peppers (i was getting tired and instead of making 4 salsas, I combined everything for my last two salsa into one, so it is sort of a tomatillo/tomato mix)
    • fresh Avocado-Tomatillo salsa
    • pico de gallo
    • black bean spread (https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/fully-loaded-black-bean-nachos-red-green-salsas)
    • pickled onions and jalapenos
    • guacamole
    • Topped with Montery and Jack cheese, queso fresco, radish, fresh jalapenos, cilantro, sour cream, and grilled chicken

    It was absolutely delicious and devoured in its entirety by 4 people. Mission accomplished. Dream achieved.

  • I'm about the same. Last switch was yahoo to Gmail and now I'm in the process of switching from Gmail to Proton Mail. The most difficult part was the mental switch - which email you start giving out when you sign up. Second was migrating services. I made it a point for a while each time I logged into something knew I would switch the primary email. Its been a long process!

  • What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?
  • If you haven't checked out Pop!_OS I'd recommend giving it a try. While I'm using a system76 laptop so they guarantee hardware compatibility, it's been one of the smoothest and most functional DE/guis I've used. Ive never had to resort to a command line* and aaalllmost everything you'd expect to find exists in the gui.

    *caveat. Except for some really esoteric problems, which are usually a result of my own tinerking

  • [Fermented] First batch of kimchi in 6 months

    EDIT: Image preview seems to be broken so here is the img url. https://pixelfed.social/p/Icarus/582798775674925721

    Hi everybody! I just finished preparing a batch of Kimchi! I based my recipe off a mix of Maangchi and a recipe I got from Mother's Kimchi. I am going to leave it out on the counter for a day or two and then stick it in the fridge to slowly fermented for 2 weeks at least.

    This is the first time I am using my Crazy Korean/e-Jen fermenter. I am hopeful it'll work out better than the large ball jars i've used in the past. The inner lid that slides down into the container creates a significantly better, and easier seal to keep stuff submerged. (side note: the marketing states there is Onggi clay in the plastic, and even if it is, I don't believe it'll do anything)

    Basic recipe: 3lb Napa Cabbage, 2.5tbsp Japanese sea salt (comparable to Korean brining salt) 1lb Korean Radish, Carrot, green onion, garlic, onion, mother's fish sauce.

    I generally keep the salt low in Kimchi. I use less salt than typical (2-3tbsp) I rub the leaves with salt and let it wilt for 2 hours, then wash leaves. With the additional fish sauce I add, the salt content has been more than enough to safely ferment but not going overboard.
