@hob First attempt at a group post. Let's see what happens.
### 3-layered apple pie, edition #2
The [first attempt](https://qoto.org/@FailForward/107628311117783248) was fine and tasted well, but there were several things which needed improvement. Primarily the size of the recipe.
So I applied some bugfixes and made the edition #2. Half ingredients, better juicier taste, a bit of a sharper touch of lemon, just fine now. I don't even know what's to be improved still.
Polar bears on an abandoned island
Russian underwater and wildlife photographer Dmitry Kokh took a trip of a lifetime to an abandoned meteorological station on Kolyuchin Island. This small island, located in the Chukchi Sea, is in a remote area of the Russian arctic. While humans have long since left the area, Kokh discovered that there are other creatures making themselves comfortable. Polar bears have overtaken the station, turning the old buildings into cozy homes and, from the looks of it, thriving.

I am looking for a simple office printer: non-laser, no DRM ink, no always-online, ethernet connection, <100 pages per month, scan/copy function, EU plug, A4 paper format.
The big brands all fail me. I'd be glad for any idea where to look. At best with your personal experience. Thank you!
Enforcing the pyramid of Open Source https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/17/enforcing-the-pyramid-of-open-source/ - thoughts on how the pyramid works and why it is hard to "just fix".
Okay there's something really cool I've just learned. If you are continuously recording air pressure e.g. as part of your home automation setup or a weather station then you should really check the data of the last 24h.
You should be able to spot the pressure wave from the volcanic explosion in Tonga earlier today.
It reached my setup in Kaiserslautern at about 20:30.
3-layered apple pie
- first attempt
- worked out fine, tastes great, not too sweat with just a bit of cinnamon
- to remember for the next iteration: all the pastry and apple layers should have been a bit thinner - the recipe is obviously for a larger tin, but eyeballing the dough I was a bit afraid it would dry out - unwarranted

Do you want to know if your friend is somewhere in the #Fediverse network? I wanted to, so I created a https://fedisearch.skorpil.cz
It can search accounts and channels on #PeerTube and "discoverable" accounts on #Mastodon
@piggo with the regular #breadposting inspired me to start irregular #cakeposting instead. Let's see what mileage I get.
Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.
