    What did you cook today?

    The rice really is king, the salt and lemon juice help keep the rice grains from clumping together - the turmeric and the salt add some flavour to it but don't overpower the rest of the meal. Use that method on the stove, and i guarantee it's good rice, every time. 2 cups basmati to 2.5 cups...

The rice taking the longest (wash til starch cleaned off, soak for 10 minutes, then drain for 10 minutes, sautée it in ghee, add turmeric, lemon juice, salt, then once toasted, then add the water, bring to a boil, put the lid on, turn heat...

    Lenovo Thinkpad E495 - E-Waste Rescue!

    As most of you probably know, I work for an MSP. We throw out an insane number of IT gear, quite a lot of it not even 5 years old. To this end, I rescue a lot of the stuff that tends to try and get stuffed into the e-waste bins. The cosmetic condition was...OK. A few scuffs, but not too bad...

    Macintosh SE FDHD/SuperDrive Slow Booting with Checkerboard Pattern

    Unlikely to be the caps, as the SE uses axial lead electrolytics.

    Mac Pro 6,1 — no signs of life after replacing I/O board

    Do you definitely know for sure that the 'new' board works? And when you repasted the processors, did you remove them from the sockets?

    Discord Weekly Summary

    As mentioned on the discord regarding the forum -> discord summary, I think this is a great idea, a weekly summary that keeps folks on both sides in the loop.

    [Youtube] How World War 2 Rationing Shaped Britain

    I often wonder if people from the US and elsewhere were ever told about the experiences we, as a nation, lived through, during WW2. In particular - rationing and food provision. It's often a trope in American media that 'British food is terrible' yet never stop to consider why that might have...

    How to: Use Ollama with unsupported GPU

    Unfortunately, with only 16GB RAM in the system and no way to expand it (single SO-DIMM DDR4 slot, 8GB soldered to the board), the BIOS won't allow more than 2GB allocated as VRAM.

    How to: Use Ollama with unsupported GPU

    nVidia has CUDA, AMD has ROCm and then...if you're not lucky, you have nothing, for GPU accelerated LLM workloads? NO! Because Ollama now supports Vulkan! This means that if, like me, you have a machine that's not cutting edge, you can still leverage the power of the GPU to accelerate the...

    There have been legitimate instances of people that have come to our discord that have no idea we had a forum, either, mostly because they're not the sort of people that 'do' forums...

    I don't believe so, it's just life happens. People aren't duty bound to finish a passion project per a schedule - there are more important things going on for some people and time and money are in ever shorter supply.
