  • A wok. It makes dinner very easy. It works for a multitude of different meals and rarely has to clean another pan. Benefits of a carbon steel wok:

    Makes cooking faster because it heats up immediately.

    Makes cooking easier because it cools down very quickly. I can undo some mistakes or tell things to hold up, stop cooking for a second while I prepare some other thing.

    Because of these first two, I actually enjoy cooking. I have more control over my process.

    It’s carbon steel so it’s just a stamped piece of metal. That’s essentially going to last a lifetime.

    Seasoning is the hardest thing to do. Which is just turning the heat up on it while there is oil. Wait until it lightly smokes. Rub it with a paper towel to get the excess off, and let it cool. You are done. Takes maybe 2 minutes and is usually done when I am cleaning the rest of dinner up.

    As long as your soap doesn’t have lye in it, you can use it in the wok. You still shouldn’t need to though. Just use the oils you cooked with as the seasoning. Eventually, it will build up and you won’t need to even season it.





  • Xbox Series X controller with the Windows Adapter: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/adapters/wireless-adapter-windows it’s the standard for computer controllers. Used by over 50% of the market. With the Linux Xone driver, it has some pretty good Linux compatibility but you just have to ensure you set it up correctly. You can also use the Xbox Series X controller to use Bluetooth but it comes with the drawbacks of higher latency and less range. If you plan on doing that use the xpadneo driver instead.

    The Playstation 5 controllers are the next popular and the next ones I would recommend. They have less driver support on Linux for some of the more fancy features such as the touchpad and sixaxis do not work over wireless.


  • By that same logic, having pets causes harm. If you want to take that stance then we should really just put up a large border between humanity and nature instead of having so many humans live in nature since we clearly abuse it. Even things like nature reserves and preservation areas would end up harming the evolution of the ecosystems in play. We’ve caused numerous issues with migration patterns and even going further into the designated nature areas, we have only kept nature as we know it. Rather than having it naturally progress and evolve.





  • China is a data collection country.

    Cause the USA isn’t?

    If China wants to see it, then yes they are required by law to pass information to the CCP.

    You should look up the PRISM program.

    If you are going to label Tencent as purely a data collection company belonging to a data collection country then let me remind you that Linux had a social media site that collected a lot of information that could have been turned over to the US federal law enforcement due to prism and the US laws SCA and CLOUD acts.

    So literally if that’s your definition, the Linux Foundation is a data collection company too.
