  • Has google stopped working for finding anything?

  • Have Brands™ started astroturfing Lemmy yet?

    I’m not completely sold on Kagi yet. I’m still in the trial period right now. But paid services can be a tough sell online. I figured I’d be up front about the costs rather than wait for the inevitable “$10 a month for search!?” comment.

  • The signal to noise ratio has seemed particularly out of wack with Google lately. The amount of blog spam SEO nonsense that crops up into the top 4 results has been pretty noticeable.

    I’m not sure it’s entirely a Google thing. Reddit’s decline has made it harder to find quick answers for, “My washing machine’s making this weird string of beeps?” Niche hobbies moving from forums to Discord chats means, “How do I safely remove a keycap without damaging the switch?” is becoming a pinned message in a server you have to hear about via word of mouth. Basically any technology troubleshooting topic has moved from a blog post / forum to a YouTube video. And a 10 minute long one at that. Gotta hit those higher ad tiers.

    For what it’s worth, I’m starting the new year off giving Kagi a try. It’s a startup trying to make a paid search engine work. You get 100 free searches to give it a try. After that it’s $5/mo for 300 searches, or $10/mo for unlimited. I’m not sure I’ll sign up for it just yet, but it seems pretty nice. No ads, custom components for things like Stack Overflow and Reddit, and some other nice touches for people who care about search. Their image search actually has a “View Image” link in addition to the “View Page” link. It’s hard to quantify how “good” a search result is, but I’ve been pretty impressed with it so far.

  • https://www.serverbuilds.net/ is a popular website online for folks building NASes at home. They’re fans of Unraid as well. They’ve got a Discord if you’re looking for something more interactive. Worth checking out. 👍

  • Looks excellent! 🙌

  • If lacking the sealed pressed bread isn’t a dealbreaker, look into the Chopped Cheese sandwich. It’s a similar burger-adjacent sandwich with broken up ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion. Not exactly the same thing, but doable at home without any special hardware. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1NdpVlfnwB4

    Are you curious about Mastodon? Mammoth, the Google-funded app*, could be the app that will use all of you to destroy the Fediverse

    Jump

  • There’s an interesting conversation to be had about making the Fediverse more user friendly at the cost of increased centralization and non-standard extensions. It’s really difficult to focus on the message you’re trying to convey when you have five other alarmist topics crammed into the post.

    Mozilla’s conflict of interest taking money from one of the largest internet advertisers and browser manufacturers was widely discussed during their recent anti-trust trial. It’s not super constructive to flatten the whole conversation to Mammoth being “Google Funded”.

  • Pico goes great on top of breakfast tacos or just eggs in general too. 👍

  • [Homemade] Cronchwrap

    Jump

  • I don't have any pictures of the un-fried wrap, but these two blogs should give you a good idea. The flour pucks don't need to be quite as big as in that first link, but you get the gist of it.

    Just pour one out for my donor tortilla.

  • Pull around to the second window please.

  • [Homemade] Cronchwrap

    Jump

  • It’s a pretty typical 10” grocery store flour tortilla wrapped around a fried 5” corn tortilla. The flour tortilla almost completely wraps around it, but not quite. You need to sacrifice one of the flour tortillas to make a few small flour hockey pucks to top the crunchwrap so that it’ll be edge to edge tortilla when you fry it. The edges should seal nicely and you don’t get any spillage.

    I hear you can hunt out bigger wraps, but cutting out the little flour toppers seemed to do the trick for me.

  • It doesn’t come through in the picture, but the beef half is about 50% fresh queso. 👍

  • Get a bug guy to come spray the exterior of your place. They can use stronger stuff then folk’s indoor life hacks. Eventually they’ll stop getting in.

  • Cascatelli Con Pesce Spada! Swordfish, tomato, eggplant, and that funky new pasta shape.

    Jump

  • I don’t cook a ton of pasta at home, so at this point I’m just glad I got to try it without having to buy six pounds of it online. They definitely got a lot of hype, but I can see the shape working in the right saucy dish.
