@KRAW@KRAW@linux.community, It's a deep dive, pretty rewarding. The basic food science, history, and a lot of things to try. Really nice alongside the NOMA Guide, actually.
I've grown many batches of koji (it gets easier as you learn more about how it behaves), but my one foray into store-bought stuff wasn't too bad — it seemed a bit dry, but that's easily enough remedied.
Been a full-time Linux user since 1999 — fed up with Windows … I guess it would have been 98? I found Red Hat Linux on CD at, I think, Office Depot. It was a dive into the deep end. I was having x-server problems at first, and a math professor buddy told me where to find the config file and how to fire up vi. I think I probably spent two days sorting out how to use vi. But I never looked back. Found ways early on of making sure I was compatible with colleagues and others and, of course, have needed to spin up Windows VMs over the years for things as silly as getting Adobe DRM content to display. But it's all so easy, now, though I do see a lot of good advice here about being certain about compatibility, etc., if you're on bleeding-edge hardware (given what you posted, I seriously doubt you'll have any issues).
I've used Fedora as a daily driver for at least the last seven or eight years, Ubuntu before that. I've run Arch on a few things and always run Ubuntu on servers (just got used to it). Windows will very quickly become something you don't miss at all.
Having said all that, I've never been a gamer of any kind, and I know that makes a big difference.
Scattered All Over the Earth, by Yoko Tawada. Weirdly delightful. Looking forward to Written in the Stars and Islands in the Sun.
All great stuff. I'm a fan of Pollan's work, as well.
The McGee sounds like just the kind of thing I love. I've seen it here and there but never picked it up, weirdly. Gonna look for it, as well as some Steingarten.
Yeah, love Ottolenghi — he had a nice piece in NYT recently, referencing Segnit, actually. I need to find a copy of the Sharma, sounds like.
Not a ton of stuff, but I'm currently looking at some more, thanks to this thread.
At home:
- Open Media Vault on an RPi 4, with some containers, namely:
- qBittorrent
- PhotoPrism (not especially functional, more a proof-of-concept)
- mariadb
- PiHole on an RPi 3
- Volumio on RPi3s + DAC (x2)
On a Singapore-based VPS:
- Nextcloud
We have an early edition of this on the shelf in our kitchen; yes, it's terrific.
