That's the plan! But it's still nice to know if these are the find I thought they were even if I don't plan on reselling them any time in the near future.

 

Smaller one is a Griswold No. 8, marked 704H.

Larger one is a Wagner Ware 11 ^3^/~4~ Inch Skillet, with a "10" on the handle.

I managed to get them for $50 total. I can't find exact matches online, but I think this is a good deal for these two. Is it?

OK, so I looked though my browser history, and here are some relevant pages I found:

I don't remember how much I used each one, but eventually I pieced together enough information information to get the Browserpass extension working in the Google Chrome flatpak. But three of those links are KeePassXC, which should be useful for adapting this for your use.

The main file that was having problems was the Browserpass Native Messaging Hosts file in my config directory for the Chrome flatpak, ~/.var/app/com.google.Chrome/config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.github.browserpass.native.json. Originally it was a symlink to a file at /usr/lib/browserpass/hosts/chromium/com.github.browserpass.native.json:

{
    "name": "com.github.browserpass.native",
    "description": "Browserpass native component for the Chromium extension",
    "path": "/usr/bin/browserpass-linux64",
    "type": "stdio",
    "allowed_origins": [
        "chrome-extension://naepdomgkenhinolocfifgehidddafch/"
    ]
}

The call to /usr/bin/browserpass-linux64 did not see to work for me, so I ended up making a copy of the file in the NativeMessagingHosts directory and modified it to point to a script in my home mount:

wile_e8 NativeMessagingHosts $ diff com.github.browserpass.native.json.orig com.github.browserpass.native.json
4c4
<     "path": "/usr/bin/browserpass-linux64",
***
>     "path": "/home/wile_e8/.config/browserpass/browserpass.sh",

I don't remember why I picked to do it inside the ~/.config directory, but it worked so I left it. And here is the script I put at ~/.config/browerpass/browserpass.sh:

#!/bin/sh
cd ~
/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn --host /usr/bin/browserpass-linux64 2>/tmp/error.log

I don't remember how I came up with that script, it must be somewhere in the four links at the top.

Finally, I needed to use Flatseal to allow access to the script. In the Google Chrome settings, under "Filesystem->Other files", I added an entry saying ~/.config/browserpass:ro. Also modified from the default in Flatseal, I have "Filesystem->All user files" enabled, along with "Socket->D-Bus session bus" and "Socket->D-Bus system bus". I don't know how necessary the last three are, but I'm not messing with it now that I have it working.

So, that's what I did to get the Browserpass extension working in the Google Chrome flatpak. You'll have to modify some things to get it working for KeePassXC, or for Firefox. But that general pattern should work.

Keep an eye out, I'll come back to this. It involves posting config file diffs and a script I wrote, it'll be a longer post I don't have the time to write right at this moment.

But yes, the fact that I need to find the time to post all the changes I needed to make to get this to work is part of the problem here.

FWIW I figured out how to get a password manager (Browserpass, not KeePassXC) to communicate with flatpak Chrome if you want some advice on how to get it to work.

But yes, it was way more difficult than it should have been (which is "should work out of the box, just like a regular package"). So if you're just listing some of the shortcomings of flatpak, never mind.

Is there any mirror for this? I don't know if this has been posted to some other site as well, but the web site seems to be overloaded with traffic right now and I can't see the article.

So, as someone that's been on flavors of Ubuntu/Linux Mint for me personal computer since Breezy Badger, any good distro recommendations? I've been using Ubuntu Mate and upgrading in place for the last ~5 years, so I've mostly avoided Snaps, but I'm looking to upgrade my computer and I'm probably going to need a fresh install. I'd like to stay on the Ubuntu/Debian tree, but I've been using RHEL on my work computer for a while now, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with that distro branch.

Also, should I be as concerned about Flatpaks as everyone seems to be concerned about Snaps?

For the users that upvoted/commented on this, I'd just like to note that it looks like an issue has been created and a fix is ready to get merged in.

 

I have my default sort set to "Hot" inside lemmy.world. When I open Jerboa, it shows posts from my subscribed communities sorted by "Hot", like it's supposed to. However, whenever I open a community, it show the posts sorted by "Active", and I have to switch to "Hot". This is different from the main web site, which uses my default sort when opening a community. Changing the sort inside the app doesn't change anything - the next time I open any community, it's sorted by "Active".

It would be nice if Jerboa was fixed this so communities were sorted by my default sort by default. I've made (simple) Android apps before, so I can try looking into it. But mostly I don't know the appropriate way to add an issue so it gets tracked and fixed eventually.

 

I have a recipe I've found and like making because the crumb regularly turns out nicely for me, but I'd like it if the final loaf was a little bit bigger. If I wanted to scale up the recipe to make a 10% bigger loaf, would it be fine to just scale up each of the ingredients by 10% and bake it a little longer? Is there anything else I need to do? Any sort of formula for estimating changes to baking time?

I think the point is to make sure everyone else aware that Brexit failed, in case any other country starts thinking about copying it

Now go back and watch it again just to see how many details and clues your missed the first time.

 

I was trying to apply a coat of oil to my pan after cooking when I noticed the towel catching on a whole bunch rough spots from carbon build up on the pan. So I took a chain mail scrubber to the worst parts of the pan, and managed to peel off a bunch of build up. But after a few minutes of scrubbing, there was still a lot of carbon build up on the pan (as you can see in the picture), and the remaining stuff is going to be much harder to clean off.

So: Is there a better way to get all this stuff cleaned off of my pan other than elbow grease and time? Am I being foolish for trying to clean it off? Should I let it go and just cook?

Just told this one to my son.

Him: "I could have said Mom's foot, or my sister's foot, or anyone else's foot!"

Me: "But you didn't."

As a beginner, how would I do an 'ear' score?

I had the same issue as you at first, buying a couple round bannetons because that's what most of the guides were using only to find out I don't really like boules. Then I got this oval banneton, which isn't super expensive if you live in the US. And the price was worth it, since now I'm much happier with the bread I'm making. So I'd suggest you bite the bullet unless you're really strapped for cash.

 

I finally got into the sourdough trend three years later than everyone else, after getting sick of paying $9 for a loaf I actually like from the bakery. But I was weird, I don't really like boules because I mainly use sourdough for toast and sandwiches and want loaves that provided similar size pieces that fit in my toaster. And every loaf-pan recipe I tried came out super-dense. Eventually, I figured out how to make a batard, and a recipe that didn't come out super dense, and I have something I would be content toasting for breakfast every morning.

  • Starter: I mostly followed the King Arthur Baking guide, although I modified it based on tips from the /r/sourdough wiki to include ~25% wheat flour to get it to actually rise. I could probably reduce the sizes to waste less flour, but right now I'm at the point where I don't want to mess with something that works.
  • Recipe: I mostly followed King Arthur's Naturally Leavened Sourdough Bread recipe, although I made some changes based on the high-altitude guide since my house is over 5000 ft elevation: add 1 tbsp flour, add 1 tbsp water, bake at 475°F for 35 minutes.
  • Shaping: I followed the instructions for a batard from this video for Pain De Campagne, although I gave up on trying that recipe after multiple attempts that all had huge tunnels. It seems like something is wrong with how I was proofing it, although I don't know enough to figure out how to fix it. And then I scored it cross-wise instead of length-wise, to try to get it to expand length-wise instead of expanding too wide to fit in my toaster.

And I think it turned out well! Crumb seemed nice, no big tunnels, it fit in my toaster and tasted great with apple butter!

It may not be the greatest loaf of bread in the history of the world, but I made it from scratch, and I like it.
