Ehhhh- Mastering the Art of French Cooking though opens up with "This is a book for the servantless American cook who can be unconcerned on occasion with budgets, waistlines, time schedules, children’s meals, the parent-chauffeur-den-mother syndrome, or anything else which might interfere with the enjoyment of producing something wonderful to eat."
Today we tent to view Mastering the Art of the French Cooking as fussy (and her forward does acknowledge that ones schedule must be free), in no small part due to works like Julie & Julia, but the opening lines in the forward are counter to that (Key phrase being "servantless American.")- on the contrary _not_ fussy but demonstrative of good foundational technique. Pepin's La Methode and La Technique are comparable, if not more formal, though of course very much aimed at a different audience. Both chefs published more casual, everyday recipes later in their career.
Is it possible to have a Linux server provide an APFS-formatted network share? Or does it require a Mac Mini + external drive in a closet?
I agree- long standing issues that have popped up and are never fixed over the years:
1) My iPhone has never properly synced screen time with my other devices (presently my other devices: 2x iPads, MBP) sync fine together. This has persisted across multiple iPhones and major releases of iOS.
2) Apple News has a permanently saved “story” of a specific magazine issue’s table of contents. No idea how it got saved, but since it isn’t actually a story (it’s a ToC instead) the UI option to “unsave” it is greyed out / unavailable. I reported it to a CSR about four years ago, he took down bug reports, I even sent a screen capture demonstrating the bug… it still persists and Apple provides no mechanism to manually clear all saved story data. I can remove it locally from the device from disabling iCloud sync for Apple News -> selecting yes when prompted to remove local data, but it will still persist in iCloud and there is no way to wipe it there… it’s back as soon as I reenable sync.
Betterment had that until a month ago: "Two-Way Cash Sweep", though that swept into their cash reserve account, not the investment accounts. They said that less than 1% of users had it enabled, and so discontinued it.
Same here, lots of leaks-- some family even has had a drawer full of unexpired Duracells leak. Myself, I've switched over completely to NiMh except when unsupported by the device to remove the change of leaks (Nest x Yale door lock in particular, which detected NiMh as low battery even when 90% of the cell capacity is remaining). AmazonBasics has been bad with leaks too.
Edit: I have a Powerex MH-C980 and that has significantly made using NiMh easier. Before with a bundled Panasonic charger I had to charge everything in pairs, 4 max. The Powerex I can charge 8 cells individually, turbo charge if I'm in a rush, and see how much energy actually was used if something seems to be eating through a lot of batteries.
I just built a Ryzen 5800x / B550i / RTX 3080 (well, 3080 is arriving tomorrow) to replace an aging i7-2600k + 980ti build mid tower, used an 18L CoolerMaster NR200p case [1], and pretty happy with that case overall-- lots of flexibility, though a bit bigger than most of the SFF PCs.
The Teenage Engineering case looks great as a non-gaming, everyday-use build, if a larger GPU isn't needed.

You're thinking of backlit displays where a reflective front (between the user and the display) hurts screen visibility in bright light conditions. In this context, "super reflective" is referring to _behind_ the pixels of the display. There is no backlight, so the screen is lit up by ambient light. Increasing that reflectivity aids in contrast of the screen, since "white" pixels will be "whiter" (in this case they are actually grey but lighter grey if the screen is more reflective).
Do you each have a YNAB account, or share one?
Thanks- was using through byobu wrappers, need to check what version is on our company machines. Edit: 2.7, so that explains it.
Big mosh user here myself. How do you deal with tmux limiting window size to the lowest common denominator device? I usually run a little bash script manually to disconnect other tmux sessions whenever I switch devices, which gets annoying.
Also which app for Apple Notes exports do you use?
Are there any good resources (besides OP) for using Ansible in a home-server environment? Especially in a mixed docker + Ansible environment.
