  • I’ve made rice wine with the yeast balls a couple times, it was sweet and very cloudy. I should try it again but in a much bigger batch to help get more liquids to separate out. I also experienced the sticky gross mush that wasn’t really pleasant to play with. I wrapped all the rice in cheese cloth in order to be able to squeeze out more liquids from the mush which did help, I always thought a juice press would be really useful at that stage.





  • Definitely a case of “good, now go do apple again”. The mobile marketplaces being locked down and tied to services is bullcrap. If I want a run of the mill open source android OS and to be able to use Gmail (or drive, or some other Google product ) I should not have to allow Google full access to the knowledge of every app I run and the screen time and my location information… Etc, etc.

    But I do think the apple win on a technicality will be revisited at some point.

    And to be clear, I freaking do not like Epic. But this fight they’re on the side I agree with. Open up the mobile platforms.



  • The US Military also uses IRC, is that the future too? I’m sick of the ridiculous Signal hate with basically no good reason. Basically everything is run in AWS, or Azure, or Google cloud. All the governments have contracts with those cloud providers, because almost every organization large enough has things in the cloud.

    Obfuscation is not meant to be foolproof. Without something like the Tor network (oh wait, the NSA and other organizations have already taken over that) WHO you talk to is not hard to determine. If someone is monitoring ALL network traffic in the world, they’ll know who is talking to who everywhere. But with good end to end encryption and no server side logging recording who you talk to, that’s definitely a good enough combo for me.

    XMPP is certainly not a bad protocol, but I’m not seeing a reason to justify the Signal hate.
