Our stovetop is having issues and I’d had a similar thought, so I’m hanging out to hear people’s reckons on this too!

I think this is what I came here to say, too! Bags of MSG are soooo cheap, I have a tiny jar of it next to my oven and it’s so satisfying and so much fun to taste what you’re cooking before and after adding a sprinkle of MSG. Amazing difference!

I’ve learnt to add umami in lots of other ways, but for some recipes, msg really is a good hit.

Butterflied roast chicken was the single recipe from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat that really nailed home so many of the lessons for me - especially about seasoning your meat overnight! Amazing what a difference it makes - one of my fave easy cooks now!

I currently use nextjs and prismic for my CMS - while there are some nextjs themes and starters, it’ll probably require some coding (which I enjoy!). A benefit of next is that it has incremental static regeneration, so can update pages without having to rebuild the whole site.

I’ve also used Sanity on pretty much every other site I’ve built and it’s fantastic!

I’m looking at rebuilding my blog from scratch at the moment - I kind of have a whole different purpose for it now. I’m looking at Astro instead of Next, and thinking about TinaCMS over sanity - partly to try something new, partly because the speed and simplicity of Astro with a visual builder writing markdown is exciting to me!

Absolutely try some function key combos - I did something similar this week by setting my keyboard to “ma” and not “mao” this week and got an Arabic script instead of te reo Māori and all of a sudden none of my keybinds worked, but hitting fn+alt+f2 got me to a tty and saved me.

I’ve been using it for the last week and really enjoy it - I’m on an m1 air and asahi is so much snappier than macOS, which is saying something because it still sings!

There’s a few key hardware features still missing - mic, speaker, and the thunderbolt port (so hdmi and external displays) that are preventing me from driving it fully because I do a lot of presentations at work, but it’s quick enough to boot into mac when I need to.

Occasionally there’s something that doesn’t want to run on arm architecture, but there’s usually an alternative - and it sounds like 4k paging is close.

Give it a shot! I’m invested cos I wanna hear more people’s take on it 😅

Oh yeah that’s a good idea actually - I use fastmail too and I don’t mind its UI, but I guess I could also play with its css to make some changes!

This is great, thank you - I’ve been leaning towards mutt or neomutt, but this looks like a great solution!

Jump in the matrix room if you haven’t already - lots of good wisdom in there! I used Caddy which was real straightforward.

I set up conduit recently after struggling with dendrite and it’s been great - the conduit matrix room is super supportive, too. Real lightweight - I have conduit and bridges for instagram, messenger, signal, and irc all running on the same cheap hetzner vm.

I had a similar experience recently - picked up Pulsar because I was getting uncomfortable with VSCode’s telemetry. Found it a bit tricky to config, and then had trouble with atom packages that obviously haven’t been updated for a few years now that are a bit out of date. Switched to vscodium instead!

This is incredible - I love this style! Really thought it was a photo at first. It’s got such a nice depth to it - nice work!

I loooove making lasagna and thought mine was good, but I’m so excited to try this bolognese sauce recipe! I use Samin Nosrat’s pomarolla sauce which is pretty great, too.

Same - had exactly this problem. I’m not exactly sure if I found a real fix in the end, it just eventually inexplicably started working. Think I tried changing ram slots and having to change some options in the bios - might be worth trying there as a start!

This looks interesting - I was an early notion adopter but haven’t used it in ages. Have you used affine yet? The demo leaves a lot to be desired on mobile at least, but I’m going to keep an eye on it!

This is great, thank you! I’m deep in vscode but trying to get away from Microsoft and the ethos behind pulsar looks great!

As someone who is pretty much always on the hunt for a better email client (bane of my existence, honestly) I’m excited to see this. I gave it a look today and the new design is such an improvement, but still a real adjustment to use from other modern clients. I’m going to go give it a good shot but I’m quite a visual person, so style and design has a big impact on usability for me - has anyone got tips or recommendations here?

Saving this post to remind myself later once I’ve written up my list for the week! It’s winter here, so might be a coq au vin or bourguinon on the cards!

Edit: okay here I am! On the list this week is a sesame beef stir fry, a loganisa breakfast sandwich, pork tacos, and pizzas. This Friday is the public holiday for Matariki in Aotearoa, a celebration of the Māori new year and a time to reflect. On Friday I’m making a big pot of boil up to celebrate!
