Oven temperatures

I found a printout of a website that of course does not exist any more unfortunately. Luckily, there is archive.org. #send_them_money

So, here’s some oven temperature conversion data. It covers conversion from Celcius to Silly and if your oven is old and has only settings, then I have a list for that as well.

[Solved] MySQL docker on Unraid does an unwanted upgrade

the logo of mysql, showing the name and the outline of a dolphin.

I usually do not fear updates, but when it comes to databases, I am getting really careful with updating them. It wouldn’t be the first time when a database goes plonk after this.

So what happened? My MySQL docker got updated becuase I simply misclicked and of course, the thing broke. The update script, which was set to “latest”, performed an upgrade to 9.x instead of sticking to the latest 8.x version.

After some research, I read that one can enter “mysql:8.2.0” in the repository field. After entering this and starting the docker, the software got reinstalled with the proper version and everything worked again. I must’ve been lucky that the database itself was not migrated to v9 already, I guess.

OpenSim server issues fixed

I happily run my own OpenSim server that is hooked onto OSGrig.org. My account there dates from 2007 and it got broken after the big crash in 2010.

It took quite a long time for them to restore the data and after a few years I decided to go back and see if i could revive my sims from the backups. And in 2013, I did so, successfully. You have no idea how great it is to see a backup rise from the dust and see, live, a sim being rebuilt. Since then, another 9 sims have been added and more landscaping has been done. Go have a look!

Sometimes though, my server crashes and I think I have now fixed it. Perhaps things got a bit too busy on a few cores, so I reserved 4 specifically for this server. Let’s see how that works! ^^

in-game screenshot of one of the opensim simulators. There is a railroad visible, some brushes and a house with a large waterwheel.

If the link to the grid does not work then open your viewer, log into the OSGrid and look for one of the following sims:

  • RynFox HQ1
  • RynFox HQ2
  • Himalchuli
  • Cho Oyu
  • Pumori
  • Saipal
  • Nuptse
  • Annapurna
  • Makalu
  • Yangra
  • Shishapangma
  • Lhotse
  • Jannu
  • Kangchenjunga
  • Dhaulagiri
  • Manaslu

If you detect a recurring theme in this list, then you are absolutely right 😉

Make your own Togarashi power (and Aioli)

the top view or a kitchen mortar, looking directly at the ground spices.
It’s hard work, I can tell you that.

I’ve used the Aioli for a pokebowl, matches really well with Sashimi Tuna.
You need besides a mortar and a jar the following ingredients:

  1. 3 tsp szechuan pepper
  2. 3 tsp chili flakes
  3. 3 tsp dried orange peel
  4. 2 tsp ginger powder
  5. 2 tsp sesame seed
  6. 2 tsp poppy seed
  7. ½ sheet of Nori

Grind the heck out of everything until everything looks evenly ground and the result should be medium coarse, if that’s any way of indicating it.

Now put everything in a jar for later use.

The sauce:

  1. 1 cup of good mayo (will make a recipe for that as well, both the fast and slow version)
  2. 2 tsp smoked paprika powder
  3. 1 tsp sesame oil
  4. 1 tbsp soy sauce
  5. 1 tsp lemon juice
  6. 1 tbsp Togarashi powder

Mix everything together so there is an even consistency and let it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours before use.

See the orange-y blobs? That’s the sauce.

Chimken Skewer Marinade

Who likes chimken? I do!

  1. 500 gram of chimken thigh
  2. ¼ tsp Salt
  3. ¼ tsp Pepper
  4. ½ tsp Garlic finely chopped, grated is better
  5. ½ tsp Ginger grated
  6. 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
  7. 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  8. 2 tbsp Brown sugar or brown sugar syrup
  9. 1 tbsp Sesame oil (not sesame flavoured oil, pls)
  10. 4 tbsp proper soy sauce
  11. 2 tbsp Chilly sauce spicy
  12. 2 tbsp Ketchup
  13. a good splash of wustershershireshur sauce

If i remember correctly, I also used lemon juice. Add it if you like it.

  • Chop de chimken in small pieces. Look at the street vendors; they do not have large chunks of chimken on their skewers.
  • Put the pieces in a bowl and add the marinade and mix well.
  • Put the bowl in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  • Stick the pieces on the skewers, about 50 gram of meat each.
  • Grill on a fiercely hot coal grill until ready.

Enjoy!

Apache2 permissions “hack”

(Errors are fixed ^^)

It’s not stupid if [the last part] works, right? Right?

1. We need a new group: website
2. We need a user: frank
3. Simple website where everything is put into /var/www/html/

sudo addgroup website
sudo adduser frank website
sudo adduser frank www-data

Let’s see if Frank belongs to the right groups:

groups frank

The result should look something like

frank : frank cdrom floppy sudo audio dip website www-data video plugdev netdev

Let’s change some ownerships, directory first.

sudo chown -vR :website /var/www/html/

Now set the permissions right.

sudo chmod -vR g+w /var/www/html/

You should do a test now by doing the following:

cd /var/www/html/
echo "My server bring all the boys to the yard" > index.html

If you get an error, enter the following:

newgrp - website

This is, in my experience not permanent though, so if you keep having issues, just yeet it into the bash.bashrc file, at the bottom:

sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc

add at the bottom:

if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]] ; then
newgrp - www-data
fi
