Just for the record, I’m going insane wondering what the thing is.

Bad week for me. Tandoor had become the home of quite a lot of recipes, and well, I’m never gonna just pull a docker container again without a backup, cause I did a pull and the bastard stopped working.

So I setup Django and got started doing my own recipe server cause I was never very enthused about Tandoor, too much netflix-like Presentation bullshit and did not allow for the very simple thing I wanted, which was, a compact list of my recipes by alphabet that I can swiftly click on the one I want.

I also need to get my Python chops back cause I think there will be jobs again, soon enough.

Meanwhile, anyone got any suggestions of a better recipe app? Needs to run as a Linux server, that’s about it. I can go Tailscale if it has no security. If I get mine to something usable I’ll make it available.

I made a lot of terrible choices in terms of friends. Not exclusively terrible ones, I have several high quality men that I still exchange emails with at least a few times per year, and we talk a lot about lunches and stuff that don’t happen… but they’re quality men, and we are still friends.

Along with them, two or three times as many dudes who I should’ve just left where I found em, and who eventually forced me to do so, usually by treating someone else rather than me like shit.

Some others that I know I should have tried harder to move acquaintance into the friendship category.

The fiction of the last 30 years is revealed to those with eyes to see.

All this time the capital class and their lackeys have been saying “Russia is a our superfriend now and China wants to be democratic so we are helping them by using their slave labour and don’t you feel guilty for questioning our supremely good intentions here!”

And meanwhile it’s the same old global power struggle, but you can make SO MUCH using slave labour, it was just too tempting to send every bit of our labour - even our high tech - over to their factories.
