I recently found some pasta made with 100% red lentils, rice or peas, which is really good, I can gladly offer it to people.
They cost a premium but the state gives us around 100€ a month to spend, and I don't eat that much gluten free stuff.
Pizza on the other hand makes me sad ;(
Gluten-free cooking has come a long way since I was a five year old with celiac eating bread with the texture of cardboard! For pizza check out the America's Test Kitchen's recipe, which apparently gets pretty close (however it might be off, I've never had wheat pizza! haha):
Personally I do a 'lazy pizza' which is just a really basic primitive bread (like how people would have made bread before yeast):
The original recipe was:
- 8oz doves farm self raising flour (or any celiac self raising flour. but doves is the og and the best IMHO)
- 1 large or medium egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- cold water to mix (alternatively: a cup and a bit of water with 1tsp chia seeds in it, you want them in the water for about 10 - 20 minutes with regular (regular!) stirring. stirring every time they kinda coalesce at the bottom. it should look like frogs spawn by the time you're through.)
Oil pan well, put soft dough in (you want it like. soft enough that it starts to spread just a little. but not so wet that it's spreading a lot. you do NOT want it as dry as a normal non-celiac bread because there is no gluten to hold on to the water). flatten with oily silicon brush, then top. cook at 180°C for 20 minutes or so. You might want to cook it a little before topping if your toppings are cooked already. And honestly, I just eyeball the cooking time based on how it behaves.
The chia seeds help make it a little chewy, which apparently is part of how pizza dough usually reacts, as well as pulling and stabilising any moisture so it doesn't get soggy.
I really like the Open Nature (Safeway/Von's store brand) cauliflower crust. No one believes me because it's a store brand but I've actually hooked some people on those that don't have any gluten restrictions. I haven't found a branded one that's better.
I've found the hardest thing is to get a really soft, fluffy bread or cake. You really need the bonding strength of gluten to hold up a structure like that. So a nice airy New York style pizza crust is out, but thin crispy crusts are doable.
I once read the manual of one of those small floor cleaning robots (Ecovacs Deebot U2 pro), and it basically said that by using it you were giving them a right to take pictures and send them to a remote server (to analyze issues or something like that)
I know it's an anti-pattern, but what is the alternative if you need to install some software? Pulling its tagged source code, gcc and compile everything?
> the old snapshot has security holes attackers know how to exploit.
So is running `docker build` and the `RUN apt update` line doing a cache hit, except the latter is silent.
The problem solved by pinning to the snapshot is not to magically be secure, it's knowing what a given image is made of so you can trivially assert which ones are safe and which ones aren't.
In both cases you have to rebuild an image anyway so updating the snapshot is just a step that makes it explicit in code instead of implicit.
where does the apt update connect to? If it is an up to date package repo you get fixes. Howerer there are lots of reasons it would not. You better know if this is your plan.
You get fixes that were current at docker build time, but I think GP is referring to fixes that appear in the apt repo after your docker container is deployed.
If you've pulled in a dependency from outside the base image, there will be no new base image version to alert you to an update of that external dependency. Unless your container regularly runs something like apt update && apt list --upgradable, you will be unaware of security fixes newly available from apt.
Run “nix flake update”. Commit the lockfile. Build a docker image from that; the software you need is almost certainly there, and there’s a handy docker helper.
Recently I’ve been noticing that Nix software has been falling behind. So “the software you need is almost certainly there” is less true these days. Recently = April 2026.
That's been an issue for years from my impression of the state of NixOS. There are other problems too, like a lot of open source packages doing straight binary downloads instead of actually building the software.
Are you referring to how the nixpkgs-unstable branch hasn't been updated in the past five days? Or do you have some specific software in mind? (not arguing, just curious)
It’s a variety of different software that just isn’t updated very often.
I don’t mind being somewhat behind, but it seems like there are a lot of packages that don’t get regular updates. It’s okay to have packages that aren’t updated, but those packages should be clearly distinguishable.
I don't really see how that's different from a normal binary install of a reproducible package. Especially with the lacking quality of a lot of Nix packages.
I feel strongly about advertising. Long before streaming, my parents used to leave the ads on in between programs, and it always made me mad. I think my ADD comes into play, the idea of voluntarily watching them feels really strange.
I also wonder how the world would change if we made targeted advertising illegal. One can dream...
Last week I added to my dolphin toolbar the "Show Hidden Files" button so it was always shown, my only issue was that it was a really long because of its text.
"But wait!" I thought, "This is not windows, I'm sure I can change it!". Lo and behold, my button now says "Hidden" and it's as short as I want it, just by editing the normal settings, no mods required.
I used minumm keyboard a long time ago and it was actually good, 1-2 cm of keyboard height, sadly I think it's been discontinued long ago, but you can see a couple of screenshots here
I installed stylish for Firefox and sometimes use some custom CSS to enlarge the body. I recently did it for chatgpt, on a 32" having the main content filling 1/4 of the display is ridiculous
