Ok fedisourcing recipes

I am looking for recipes meeting this set of overlapping requirements:

Vegan
No peppers/onion/garlic (FODMAP-adjacent issues) I think also no tomatoes?
No rich/creamy textured

I'll be visiting some friends and it is super hard to figure out what to cook, given the overlapping requirements that we have I often end up cooking something myself because basically every vegan recipe I know is primarily made with tomatoes/onion/peppers/garlic

#recipes #cooking #vegan

my current desk has a bunch of issues It is a pretty old flat-pack desk, and sags a bit in the middle due to years of use with a monitor stand then it has drawers, which while I do like them, I feel like it is terrible for ergonomics ? Or maybe my chair/armrest heights are all out of spec any design would need a cable management solution. I kinda like my current desk because it has a vertical beam along the back which is support for the flat-pack top but also basically serves as a cable management system via hooks/velcro/etc, very flexible. The biggest trick is probably proper support for the monitor arms so a long-term load won't cause warping/flex/etc issues. One idea is to use metal legs on the end, then run steel across to connect them and build a desktop that just sits on the frame. The bolt for the monitor arms would supported by the beams?

Previously, I used Cilium's Hubble feature to do this in the kubernetes cluster. That project took a very similar approach, but actually was able to go into more detail, because it was trivial to do domain matching on egress policies. It was followed by a aggressive lockdown of kubernetes containers to minimize every container to the absolute privilege/capabilities needed to function, which required some new tooling and quite a bit leaned, along with some open PRs and honestly simple MRs that I should get off my ass and submit

Current Mikrotik home firewall strategy:

* Add log rules to the end of firewall chains
* Stream logs and parse via script (pending: grafana dashboard). The script shows all packets that hit the log rules before the default-allow at the end
* add rules to cover excisting traffic (or fix shit if broken or sending unwanted packets)
* Optimize
* After a sufficient time period of no log rule hits, change the log rules to default-drop

bonus round: move as much traffic from ipv4 to ipv6. The majority of the IoT are a lost cause there however.

On the way in there was a line of maybe a dozen adult geese. There were all swimming upstream against the current, and making slow progress. One goose remembered that it had wings and flew ahead a bit. I wonder the relative effort of flying vs swimming there Could probably make a catchy inspirational quote out of that or something idk
