I use the remainder of my starter for crackers and pancake-like stuff, but mostly crackers.
The bread is not exactly like wheat bread, the crust is never as crunchy, the crumb tends to be softer, the crumb is sometimes gluey depending on the starch. The gluey feeling also depends on hydration. When i use tapioca+rice the gluey feeling of the crumb tends to be away some hour after baking.
That’s because it’s mostly white rice flour (I really should try brown rice, it should contain less sugars!), and something like tapioca would make it to gummy/gluey (as in glue-like texture, i don’t know if that’s a word). Rice starch tends to give more “dry” crumbs, which is why it’s not commonly used in cakes and sweet bakery (corn, potato or tapioca starch would be used instead), but I find it’s a plus in this case.
For now I can just get rice starch at some GF or organic food retailers locally, or on amazon (amazon has a better price per kilo, and I want to keep the cost comparable to that of commercial mixes). I want to try making my own in the future.
The one I used in this bake is actually tapioca starch, because I didn’t notice I ran out of rice. It’s why you see the crumb behave the way it does in the video. I ordered some nore starch, maybe I’ll show it for next week’s bake!
I am so sorry to hear about you sister, I know it’s tough.
If at all possible I’d love to get the recipe
I am sorry but I won’t share the recipe for different reasons. Although as I mentioned early the closest pre-made flour mix is Ori Di Sicilia Pan Riso. Their bread mixes always tend to have a sugary aftertaste, which I don’t particularly like. Mine seems to be closer to wheat flour in texture (of the final product) as well. Most of the taste and color are usually given by the starter though, and my mix is tuned to my taste and my kitchen after all.
If your sister doesn’t have any other particular allergies (e.g. nickel like me) you will get away with basically any pre-made mix. Just be mindful of hydration, more is always better. Shaping can be hard, as the dough tends to stick to your hands. If you’re not experienced with GF you can use vegetable oil on the board and hands to help. Using flour instead can be tricky: too much and the dough becomes too dry to rise. Shape before rising, then bake without reshaping.
Most of the resources I have and follow are in Italian though, I don’t know how helpful they can be. Another good mix is Romana Gluten Free Cuor Di Pinsa.
I couldn’t work out from your post if you were using your own flour mix or if you were using a commercial blend such as Caputo fioreglut?
When I wrote “recipe is my own” I actually meant that both the recipe (flour/water/salt/oil) and the flour mix are my own. I could have been clearer. The closest pre-made mix is Ori Di Sicilia’s Pane Base Riso (their bread mix, rice based. As opposed to corn based).
Also, what is interesting for me is the somewhat long ferment that you manage to get away with without having a floating crust or anything funny like that. Maybe it’s a good idea to do a bit of shaping before baking.
I always shape before baking. I usually make the dough, then split it into different loafs, shape them and then they rise inside the rattan baskets. GF doesn’t really hold the shape well enough to shape after rising.
Some of the gluten-free sourdough recipes that I have followed, such as Aran Goyoaga’s have a very rapid fermentation - one hour with lots of starter - and then it’s pretty much into the oven otherwise you do get some of those defects like the floating crust. And recipes like that also have a very long baking time.
That is a common trend with GF stuff. In my experience, you can get away with less starter and more rise time. I usually vibe the starter/flour proportions depending on room temperature, how quick I want the loaf ready, if I can let it stay in the fridge for some tie, etc. The standard I use is 150g of starter on 1kg of flour, as far as I am aware it should be common with wheat as well.
Thank you! I’ve made a comment with a video of me cutting it
Here is a video of my cutting a slice as well!
Yeah I know about that kind of approaches but I haven’t been able to test them, the resins don’t look cheap and I don’t make pcbs often enough to justify the cost. But I have tried engraving FR4 to get silkscreens on single sided boards. Decent results, but the smell is awful
This is basically what I do at the FabLab, I was about to post a comment when I saw yours. If you’re interested, I wrote a blog post on the procedure, what I need to update it for double sided PCBs https://emamaker.com/projects/fablab/pcb-laser-engraver.html
This is basically what i ended up doing in one year of experiments, building and rebuilding.
Proxmox with unpriviledged LXCs. The only VM runs OPNsense, isolates services into 3 different vlans: internal for LAN/VPN only services, external for a couple public websites I host, and auth for authelia and lldap. Only internal can reach the others always through a reverse proxy lxc, the other vlans are blocked in opnsense and can only reach outside internet for eventual updates or api calls. No services can reach the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet with all the home devices (no smart home stuff).
Bulk storage is on a 4x12TB raid z1 array. The NAS dataset can be accessed via a cockpit lxc, with samba, the only one that sits on my LAN. Some services (like forgejo, immich, paperless) use their own dataset on the same pool.
Apart from cockpit, only opnsense sits on my lan as well. All the lan devices pass through it+reverse proxy to reach the other services.
Snapshots and backups are handled with zfs_autobackup and proxmox backup server, which runs on the repurposed old server, on which i also backup a subset of important files.
oh, and at least for the home one: put a raspberry pi (or similar, maybe even nanoKVM) into your rack, and connect it. it’s awesome for maintenance. I have a rs232 connected pi and can control from bios, bootloader, shell of my proxmox.
I was eyeing the nanokvm, pcie version, for that exact reason. My Pi runs pihole, but is otherwise separated from the server.
every lxc runs in its own /30 subnet, only having the firewall local. There are a few bigger networks at home, iot (mainly wifi, client isolated), family for our laptops/tablets/mobils, guest network, tor-access wlan and other stuff
I was also looking at setting up a router/firewall with another minipc and a 2.5G pcie ethernet switch. Kinda long term project
I have never done this, but maybe you can try creating a torrent and sharing it with your friend, or using plain http/https with a download client lile jDownloader, so that it automatically resumes the download and handles errors
Control engineering student here. This is accurate and goes straight to the uni friends group chat. I love it.
No significant input lag, i use Xournal++ and in one semester for a single course i tend to make a single file of 120+ pages.
I use the integrated pen, which also slots into the chassis to recharge, but other pens that use the same wacom protocol also work, i use an HP one alongside the integrated one from time to time
I’m using EndeavourOS with Plasma on a Thinkpad L13 Yoga G4. A recent update fixed the ACPI message SW_TABLET_MODE, so now the device automatically disables the keyboard after a couple seconds of being flipped, and plasma switches to tablet mode automatically. From there, everything works with zero problems. I use it to take notes in uni and switch often from normal laptop work to tablet mode for note taking.
I didn’t notice exactly when it was fixed, but since I bought it and until some time ago there was a problem with I think an I2C device that prevented the switch, and I had to use a set of cobbled together scripts to manually do it
I mean, in the 50th anniversary Eleven mentions to Clara that working for UNIT is his job. I’d pass that honestly
Because the 1000 requests/10 minutes on my server are done by AmazonBot, mostly. Followed by ASNs from Huawei, Azure and the like.
I use Maalit (or is it Maliit? I can never recall). It works and has an extended symbols button, just like a mobile phone osk. It doesn’t have a proper configuration panel, it’s instead configured by gsettings or something, I have never actually tried. It also as a quirk with a swipe-down gestures that is used to disable it, and is sometimes activated accidentally by the palm of the hand. But apart from that, really nice experience overall.
I can recommended the latest KDE Plasma, I use it on my 2-in-1. Some quirks here and there, but very good in general, especially if yoh set up gestures to switch between workspaces. I also tried gnome but that was ages ago.
I use OpenTracks, but mostly for runs. But it can track simple walking though.
I too have this bug, on Tizen OS client. I H Have been procrastinating reporting it on github for ages now
