Anyone have suggestions for someone who is spice-averse but wants to expand my flavor palate? I love a lot of Indian food, but the spices get in the way, as I have a very bland spice tolerance currently.
There must be a way to get from here to there without a mouth crisis. 😀

Is there any point in encrypting a virtual server disk?
When needed, a hosting provider can just take a RAM dump and extract the encryption key, or at least regexp-match interesting files from the page cache, right?
Also, how much is the performance / resource usage overhead of a full-disk encryption?

Was in an online knit and natter group yesterday where I got to explain the concept of thr fediverse.
People seemed fascinated by the idea. It'll be interesting to see if any of them decide to check it out.
Are there any knitting/yarn/fibre arts related servers does anyone know?

Any longtime #syncthing user out there?
I would like to go give another try, my experience from 5-6 years ago was not that great, I didn't want to use the public relay/discovery server and I remember it was not that smooth, I had quite some discrepancy among my devices.
How is it nowadays?
If you are a longtime user, can you share your experience? (i don't ask for config)
thank you

Hi fedi folks 
We have another linquistic query, aimed ideally at fluent/native English and German speakers.
We're aware of the word Schadenfreude, in the English sense of deriving joy or pleasure from somebody else's misfortune.
However, we're not aware of a suitable word to express the intense pain, anguish and despair of somebody else getting something that you cannot get.
Every time we try to find a suitable word, all we typically find suggested are envy or Missgunst.
The problem is that these words don't fit what we're looking for.
For the word we're seeking, it's not envy, as there's no resentment of what others have or can get, nor is there any malice towards them for this.
Instead, it's more like a deep pain and sadness of not being able to get what you need when others can.
It's the kind of negative feeling that can cause you to withdraw from people who are sharing their joy and successes, or even to withdraw from entire spaces where these are highlighted.
We watched Natalie Wynn's (ContraPoints') long video on envy years back, which we misremembered as being much clearer on the topic, but looking back over the transcript for it didn't help us at all. In fact, it made us more confused 
We've had the same problem before with not finding suitable words, such as the pain of being misunderstood, a true-neutral replacement for the verb to hope, or the inability to experience hope.

Right, question for Linux users - I'm getting some surprise money and I'm thinking I'll invest in a colour printer so that I can make my own art prints at home.
I had an Epson Eco-Tank in South Africa but was having a hell of a time calibrating the colours.
I would like it to take up to 300gm paper.
Suggestions for printers that work well on Linux (I know Brother are good), that are good for colour art prints?
