  • We used to have a prep bucket that we would fill with all our ends of onion, celery, carrots, sometimes tomatoes and garlic in. It would get put in a bag, dated and frozen. Then we would make stock from it when we had enough. Reduced to a quarter 4 times if I remember right.

    We also used to save all our fish and meat trimmings separately so we could use it in the stock making depending on what kind of soup were going to make.

    I still make turkey stalk with the thanksgiving caucus. Then make turkey soup. My favorite part of thanksgiving/christmas turkey! There is almost no waste when I cook for the holidays.




  • I’m not sure you need/want to spin up an entire instance for a single community. You sure can though if that’s what you really want to do.

    Setting up a community is far easier. Just pick the instance you feel is the right fit, think about the rules and guidelines of that community, sounds like you already have a mission.

    If its a community you want just login via a browser and at the top click the link Create Community and your nearly done.

    Spinning up an instance is a lot more involved, it’s running an entire server. Could be a neat project though and i don’t want to discourage you from that at all. If an instance is what you want to do i’ll see if I can find a guide for you.









  • I have a Stanley mug, bought it in 96 when I was working in construction. It’s been kicked off scaffolding more times than I can count.

    Used so much that the green started coming off ten+ years ago. So I sanded it off and it now has a brushed stainless look.

    The lip cover has been gone for at least 15 years, worked well when it was there though. The mug is far too big to fit in any cup holder and has been tossed around mercilessly in every truck I have ever owned without spilling a drop up until the day it broke off.

    The lid has chew marks where sharp puppy teeth of my long dead forever friend had himself a munch.

    I can’t see ever replacing it and I don’t see it ever breaking to the point I’ll need to.

    I also have a knife in the running that would fit the question.






  • Arch isnt that hard to use, just more maintenance, you have to update often and you can break things easier. It is defiantly harder to install. Thats why I recommend Garuda as it has a nice gui installer. It comes fully riced too. KDE dragonized is what i went with. The non gaming edition.

    You will have to maintain your new system with fresh updates very regularly. You will have to get used to going through .pacnew files. Luckily there are easy ways to do this using meld to view pacnew files side by side with their corresponding config file that helps you migrate data easily.

    Being an arch based distro your on the bleeding edge of linux and this means sometimes you will get cut! But an update will come along fairly quickly to heal those wounds. For instance the screen rotation broke a few months back. Easy fix in udev config though.

    Debian based distros are pretty bullet proof, takes a but more to fuck one up. You’ll have to wait a lot longer for the things arch users get every day.

    Personally i don’t find garuda to be that hard to maintain but Im used to arch already so I know what to expect and more of how to fix things. One of the best things about garuda is it uses brtfs by default and sets up snapper for you so when things go wrong you have an easier time fixing things.

    You can always try it out and if it’s not for you you can move on to the next distro. And hop until you find what your looking for.

    Best of luck!
