  • search for tkemali sauce recipes. It’s a Georgian plum sauce that is great with meats and vegetables. I’ve used it on pork, chicken, fried potatoes. In Georgia, it is about as common as ketchup is in the USA. There is red tkemali made from ripe plums and green made from unripened. Green is my favorite, but both are really good. I think the plums used in Georgia are a wild plum, but I made some last month with red plums I bought at Kroger. You might have to visit an international market to get some of the spices.

    edit: recipe that i used, minus a couple spices i didn’t find in time, but it still turned out good.

    I’m new to NixOS, just installed it a few days ago, so I can’t say much about it’s pros and cons, but the installer was easy and I installed and booted into the new system very quickly. I think it might have been udpated in the past year, because I am watching a tutorial video from a year ago and he installs it via command line from the live iso.

    edit: it also gave me a default configuration.nix which I’ve just been adding to (to get nginx with letsencrypt running, plus extra packages I wanted installed)






  • good read. I hope more villages in Georgia and Armenia will do the same. I lived in a small village in Georgia in 2012 and had mobile internet at 5 gigabytes a month. I had to choose between video calls with family, downloading/streaming for entertainment and always had to think about how much data I’m consuming. I was checking my data balance multiple times a day sometimes.

    Things have improved since then. There are some wired providers in some areas, but the infrastructure still isn’t there in many places.







  • Void Linux on my Thinkpad and Thinkstation. On Pinephone and Pinetab I’m running postmarketOS. I really like postmarketOS and using apk, so if I were to get a new laptop or every change the distro on my laptop or desktop, then I might try Alpine. On raspberry pi 3, it’s raspbian. I use that mainly to run pi-hole and pivpn.

    I distro hopped for a little while, but then settled on Void. It does what I need and was easy to get set up how I want. It’s a rolling release and I haven’t ever had any big issues with upgrading. The worst issue I’ve had was when they recently removed pipewire-media-session and switched to wireplumber. After checking a couple posts on reddit and on void’s documentation, I got it set up the recommended way without any trouble and audio is working fine.

    edit: wanted to add that my Thinkpad also has OpenBSD as a dual boot option, but I haven’t booted into it in a long time. One day I’d like to try a BSD as a server(not on a laptop, of course.) Also, the Thinkstation has Windows 10/Void dual boot, but I never boot into Windows.


  • at some point in the past I created an account on twitter but it seemed pointless to me. Then it got bigger and was always getting mentioned/quoted and I gave it another shot thinking maybe I was just doing it wrong. Nope, still sucked.

    That said, I do have a mastodon account, but I don’t like a lot of things about it. When I’m looking at my timeline, I never know if something is a top level post or a reply to someone else unless I click on it.
