Not vegan (sorry), but I thought The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen by Peter Berley was really good. Not all recipes are vegan, but most (all iirc) of them also have a vegan variant.

Probably because those products don’t actually boost your testosterone.

Tom Scott - Blocking People in Real Life

I think you should give Turkey some serious consideration. If I were your mom, I imagine I’d absolutely love it if you shared your passion for the local history with me.

I think Turkey should have wonderful beaches, but from there you could also travel to Albania, Greece or Italy quite easily. If those are too hot, you could go to Poland or Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia. I haven’t been myself, but I hear Eastern Europe has beautiful old cities and nature. Those countries are also pretty cheap!

Depending on how much you want to travel and whether you like trains you could get an Eurail ticket for one or more countries. If you’re younger than 28 you’ll get a nice discount. There should also plenty of affordable flights.

If you need or want to run an LLM on limited hardware, you may want to look into so-called bitnets with ternary connections. These should be efficient enough to run an OK LLM on a CPU with 16 GB of ram if not less. Unfortunately they’re barely out of the experimental stage, so you’ll probably have to compile BitNet.cpp yourself or wait a few months until full support lands in Ollama.

I haven’t run a bitnet myself yet, so I can’t personally vouch for their effectiveness or usefulness.

TV gave me the impression a lot of American kids have to read it in highschool.

Edit: No, I was thinking of On the Road

Sounds like you’re looking for something like # archivemount.

So apparently telling your friend or acquaintance you don’t share their particular sense of humour is worse?

I guess I shouldn’t overthink a shitpost, but is it really such a social faux pas to tell someone your tastes are different from theirs? I just wonder if this is a cultural thing that I’m too Dutch to get, or if it’s more of a I’m-too-socially-awkward-to-have-an-opinion-of-my-own kind of thing?

Yeah, that guy was really ahead of his time.

The 90s had so many great cartoons: Ren & Stimpy, Powerpuff Girls, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Dexter’s Laboratory, Simpsons, Duckman, Dr. Katz Professional Therapist, Eek! The Cat, Animaniacs, I Am Weasel, Beavis and Butt-Head

I do, but (in my client) messages are still displayed if I report them. That’s why in this case I also needed to block the user.

I’m not sure what the connection is between rotten.com and the CIA and what that says about me as a person, but maybe I’m just too far gone to understand.

The only person I’ve (reported and) blocked was posting csam.

rotten.com/library contained articles with text and images, not videos of people dying. The point was to inform, not to shock. It was pretty different from the rest of the website.

If by “more CIA shit” you mean critical of AES, then yes.

Rotten.com was known for horrible pictures of gore and whatnot, but also contained a collection of interesting, weird and insightful articles at /library. That site is gone now, but the article have been preserved at https://rottenlibrary.net/

Be supportive and openminded, even if their interests or choices might be a little unconventional. Establish clear rules and boundaries, but try to give them as much freedom as they can handle. Life with you doesn’t have to be a party 24/7, but make sure they always feel safe and loved. Teach them how to think, not what to think.

My German is not very good, but I think “bruchstellen” basically means “yo mama!”

I’m not a big fan of the Gnome DE myself, but I hear it’s the best choice for tablets and touch screens. Perhaps you could try a distribution that uses Gnome by default like Fedora or Ubuntu (or you could try installing Gnome on another distro).

Yeah, ideally the Mint installer or Driver Manager or whatever would be smart enough to tell you “some of your hardware is not supported by the default kernel, click here to install a kernel that will support your hardware”. This is definitely a shortcoming in Linux Mint.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that it is possible to get Mint running right on most hardware without touching a terminal.

Personally I’d recommend a beginner try running Mint or another stable distribution with a newer kernel before trying some sort of cutting edge rolling release, which might be buggy. But that’s just, like, my opinion, man.
