I ended up on Piwigo. It’s pretty fully featured and allows you to set up access controls for groups. Also has client apps.

These are fully stand alone. Downloadable. So not strictly hosted I guess?

Does it need to be “hosted”?

I like both these:

yEd (https://www.yworks.com/products/yed)

Dia Diagrams (http://dia-installer.de)

I think yEd had a free version but closed source.

This worked well for me and it gave me a spreadsheet (.csv) of my posts and comments.

You just go to the linked page, drag the “button” up to your bookmarks bar. Then navigate to your reddit profile and click the bookmark let, select your options and “go” - then wait.

Mine took about 15 minute to scrub 10 years and about 2000 comments. It missed a few so I manually edited and then deleted those.

Take note… I’ve heard (anecdotally), if you want your history backup, do not interrupt the process or close the window.

The half hour and bake would be amazing. I could bulk prepare some loaves and be set for short notice visitor and breakfasts.

Oh this is GOLD! Thank you!

If we were in that old site, and we had those karmic awards, I’d absolutely invest in some for you!

 

Hi all,

So I'm doing experiments to see how 'effortless' I can make fresh sourdough.

I have a dream - and maybe this can't be reality - of doing the cold ferment in a baneton, then transferring that to the freezer for long-term storage.

Has anyone managed to freeze a fully-proofed loaf before baking?

I need to try the ice-cube trick. I've only ever thrown in a shot of water under the baking paper. Though, I'm also too cheap for a dutch oven so I use a stainless steel pan and a mixing bowl for the lid. Maybe I need a dutch oven.

Batch #4 is out - trying for more of a sandwiching crumb... https://lemmy.world/post/1007486

 

Sourdough experiment #4. Crust turned out well, wanted to capture the crust and crumb of this one for future reference (Excuse the YouTube link, I have nowhere else to share yet).

  • 65% hydration (trying for a more sandwich style loaf).
  • 1.7% salt
  • 20% starter
  • 22º-25º bulk ferment (5 hours + shape and 1 hour extra rise)
  • 36 hour cold ferment
  • Straight in to 250º oven
  • Turned down to 240º
  • 20 minutes baked covered with steam
  • 15 minutes on the rack at 230ºC
  • 30 minute rest in open oven

Thanks. It was a tasty loaf. Just needed a bit more acidity.

I wouldn’t bother with a pH meter. Was just using it in a few batches to get a better understanding of what was happening.

I wouldn’t use it after the cold ferment. I go from bulk ferment, to shape, to cold and then when that’s done, straight to the oven.

You know you’re right. Something seems off. I usually do 20% starter [the posted recipe] was copy/pasted from my notes so I’m pretty confident it’s right - but it sure seems odd.

Temperature was about 22-27 for most of the bulk ferment.

Hmm. You have me wondering.

Anyway, currant experiment is definitely 20% (but lower hydration). I’m doing 5 hours bulk ferment and then shape but leaving it for another 1 hour before refrigerating.

I’ll report progress.

Ok. A few weird things with my Lemmy client. It double posted the comment and one of them is linked to the main post instead of a reply. So. Uhhh. Yeah thanks and see other comment for details 😀

experiments in sourdough

Experiments with my current sourdough culture. Trying to find that sweet spot between flavour and effort.

I have screwed around with sourdough for years but always fall out of it because it’s a pain n the ass to maintain and cook.

So this time, I’m determined to make sourdough bend to my schedule, rather than rearrange my life around feeding the beast.

Recipe overview:

  • Wallaby bakers flour (Australian brand).
  • 72% hydration
  • 10% starter
  • 1.7% salt

Method:

  • “no knead” (stretch’s and fold - ~20 minute intervals for ~2.5 hours)
  • +4hr bulk ferment at 22°C
  • +30hr (refrigerated) final rise in banneton.

Bake:

  • Heavy bottom stainless pan (on parchment)
  • Baked at 240°C-220°C (40 minutes total)
  • 20 minutes @240°C covered by steel bowl
  • Uncovered and baked for 10 minutes.
  • Removed from pan (directly onto oven wire rack)
  • Turned down to 220°C for 10 minutes

Rested:

  • oven off, door cracked open and left to cool for an hour
  • served after a 12 hour rest.

Review: Not bad. Great oven spring. Could have better acidity. Crispy crust but a bit too much “chew”. Nice, medium density, open crumb. Extremely low sugar (great for extra crispy toast with Vegemite and grilled cheese).
