Baking question for fedibrain.

I am cooking a recipe for instant baguette bread that involves 450 g bread flour, 360 ml water, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp yeast. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, add the water, lightly incorporate for maybe 5 mins with the back of a spoon, cover, and leave to rise overnight. Then gently divide and shape (no flattening etc), and bake for 30 minutes on fan at 200° C.

It makes nice French bread.

Question: Where's the kneading? I thought kneading was an essential step in bread making?

OK, I am stuck with #texlatex, specifically #babel. May I invoke the mighty #fedibrain for some help? #boosts welcome.

Thing is, I am writing a thesis on a Linux Mint 22.3 laptop. Some of the LaTeX packages are quite old, eg. Babel is nearly two years behind. The document is mainly in nynorsk, but has sections in many other languages, both LTR and RTL. I have used Polyglossia up until now. It works of sorts, but not for everything, eg. for bilingual text in a heading.

Dear #fedibrain, if I want to use a picture from #Nextcloud as a group icon in a #signal chat on #android, how can I accomplish that?
The only way around Androids stupid security model I found, is to share it to a signal chat, and save it to the telephone from within that chat.

So, boosts.

In a world without algorithms, we rely on boosts to get 'out there'. And when I see something I like, I want to share it.

However -- when others see something they like, they share it too. I get annoyed when I see the same post for the 19th time. Then I worry that I annoy people by sharing.

Is there any way to turn off seeing the same post more than once? That way, knowing that it's possible, I'd worry less about sharing.

Is there any way of looking up which band t-shirt designs were available in/before 2006? I'm specifically interested in Gojira t-shirts from that period. I can find plenty of Gojira t-shirt designs, but I have no idea what year they were each released in.

Ok. I need a #fedibrain source piece of info.

I'm sending a message from Alice to Quincy. Alice knows Bob, and Barry, and Belinda, so she asks them to pass it along. She doesn't know if any of them know Quincy, although she's got a high confidence that she'll run across someone.

Ah, and she just ran into Fred. Did he know Quincy? Nope, but he's willing to pass on the message to his friends Gina, Gary, and Greg. Dunno if they know Quincy.

Now somewhere along the way there is a path from Alice to Quincy, she just doesn't know who knows who, so she just asks everyone she runs into.

At a certain point, this is going to cause Eunice to have a nervous breakdown because 47 people have asked her to pass on messages. So to minimize this, Alice will hand out messages, but they'll only have a shelf life of 5 handoffs. Or 10, or whatever. They also get thrown away after a week.

Where my question is falls asking the reason of what an I talking about? This feels like a graph or some type of n-tree, and yes a tree is a graph, let's just accept the special case.

Additionally, is there a paper or 10 that I could read up on this?

Please and thanks,
Oatmeal

Need some #fedibrain or #fedihelp. I'm looking for a online service similar to slido.
For our fire department I want its members to suggest topics for training and others can upvote them. At the end I want to understand which topics are the most interesting so we can adjust training schedule.
Any hints?

Ok, #fedibrain , I need some help. I'm recovering all my mp3s from a crashed drive. So far, so good, and I'll survive if some of them have turned to garbage noise. There's thousands, I'll survive.

However, they're all getting dumped in general collective directories.

I need to find an app on Windows that will try to organize them into some reasonable directory structure. I've been usually good about providing ID data, and my filenames were identifiable, like Ben_Folds_Brick.mp3, though a quick peek shows it becoming something like Ben_Folds_Brick_0025852.mp3 🤔

So, if anyone can help out, please let me know. Yes, I have Linux boxes, a couple of Macs, even a Chromebook or two, but I don't want to hear about an app on any of those. For this use case, the only acceptable environment for this task is Windows.

I bought this stud finder but it seems to detect a lot more metal/wires in my walls than I expected. I played around with it a bit, and sometimes a patch of wall sets it off, sometimes that same patch seems fine. Sometimes a patch sets it off unless I touch the wall at the same time (this also happens with my bookshelves which certainly shouldn’t have any wires in them).

Anyone know what might be going on? Can I even trust this device, or am I using it wrong?

#fedibrain This is a question about an annoying client for a questionable server, but bear with me. One of my kids was messing about with Schildichat on Ubuntu 22.04 and somehow zoomed the window to unreadably tiny. They think they were using ctrl-minus. They cannot undo it. Ctrl-plus has no effect. Nor does ctrl-r, shift-ctrl-plus, or anything else I could think of. It persists across programme termination, reboots, etc.

Question 1: is there an obvious way to fix this with keystrokes?

If not, then...

Question 2: Schildichat is an ElectronJS glorblet, or whatever it's properly called when you forcefeed users all that extra guff. I hunted around in .config/SchildiChat to see if I could find where it stored persistent values for screen magnification but couldn't find anything obvious, or anything that I could edit with useful results. If there is one among you with the cursed knowledge of that webapp framework...where might I look?

And yes, we are trying to migrate away from matrix. As an #actuallyAutistic family various among us often go mute and need to use a chat server to communicate. We moved from Mattermost to Matrix several years ago, and I will probably just go back to XMPP rather than deal with self-hosting "new" matrix. But I haven't got time to do that migration right now.

I propose a navigation plugin for the AI slop era. Tool should help us find LLM-free sites based on Web of Trust crowd verification. Browsing the web, you label a site as either free from or polluted by LLM slop. One button in your browser toolbar with a keyboard shortcut. An icon indicates how the community assesses the page. Let's rid ourselves of the constant suspicion that all we read is AI-generated bullshit and put the collective intelligence to work.

Could someone build this?

If you want to buy movies on DVD, especially older or more "obscure" movies, and you don't want to buy from Amazon ... where do you buy them these days?

Preferably in the EU so I don't have to pay import fees, which are a pain in the ass and ridiculously high in my experience.

1/3 Need advice.

I'm trying to get my parents off of Windows. They're both used to Firefox, Thunderbird & LibreOffice so the move to Mint was relatively painless, except for the games. My dad in particular is very attached to his Microsoft Solitaire Collection & some game called Mahjong Sheriff. I really want to find alternatives that aren't full of ads & malware. I'm willing to pay if that's what it takes.

When I visited Glanum in France, I noticed a sign on one of the ruins that said "fumoirs à vin" with the translation "wine smoking rooms".

I've tried to look it up, but I'm not getting any more enlightened as to what "wine smoking" actually is. Does it mean smoking the wine itself, or smoking something else using wine. If so how does that even work?

Can anyone enlighten me? If this was a thing in ancient Rome, it doesn't seem to be a thing any more.

The light from the lamp shines through a hole in the edge of the baking tray (yellow arrow).
The edge of the baking tray casts a shadow, clearly showing where the light is shining through (red arrow).
But there is a point of shadow in the middle of the bright spot.
I've noticed this phenomenon before - tonight I remembered to take a picture.
A different version of the double slit experiment proving light is simultaneously waves and particles, or is it something else?

Now having a debate about whether. Kim Larsen's version of Kringsat av Fjender counts as "positive" and indeed "European"...

Ruth_Mottram - Here's a fun Sunday morning quest: I'm looking for up tempo songs that celebrate Europe/European places in a happy positive way 🇪🇺.

This is prompted by Suede's latest and rather downbeat #DancingWithTheEuropeans 🇬🇧 that @qobuz brought to my attention today -> surely there are some slightly more uplifting variants? We have a continent wide music contest every year after all!

Husband suggest Joost's Europapa 🇳🇱or perhaps TransEurope Express 🇩🇪 and kids came up with From Paris to Berlin by Infernal  🇩🇰, but pretty sure there are other options.

Will make a playlist for a party with this as theme so #Fedibrain - what would you add?

Had a rare positive experience with customer support, so I thanked her & wished her a great day, as is only right. And then, because no good experience must go unruined in this day & age, the company is now asking me to rate her.

I *never* want to rate people. I'll very rarely rate a *company*, but I simply refuse to contribute to this exploitative practice. But I'm worried that even not leaving a vote will be used against the poor employee.

Is there any "good" choice here?

Hallo liebe #Firefish Nutzer*innen ​:ablobwavereverse:​

Muss nochmal das Thema #Benachrichtigungen ansprechen.

Hab meinen Firefish account nun in drei Browser und zwei Apps getestet.
Sowohl im account als auch in PWA und Apps sind alle Benachrichtigungseinstellungen konfiguriert.
Dennoch bekomme ich keine Benachrichtigungen. (Selbst über E-Mail nicht, obwohl ich auch das eingestellt habe.)
Die Apps sind auch schon mit Mastodon gelaufen, da funktionierten die Benachrichtigungen problemlos.

Hat da jemand schon selbe oder gleiche Erfahrungen gesammelt und kann mir einen Tipp geben. Wäre sehr dankbar.
