Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p>So, our less-than-ten-year old defective-from-the-factory Samsung cooker has bitten the dust. I'd like to hear from the bakers and chefs what ovens you've had, whether or not you like them, and <strong>SPECIFICALLY WHAT</strong> you like or dislike about them.</p><p>My own priorities are utility and reliability (the Samsung failed on both accounts). We do a lot of bread baking, as hot as possible (290 -- 315C / 550-600F), other baking anywhere from 120--230C (250--450F), as well as broiling and roasting.</p><p>Bread baking likes a steamy oven. The oven need not have a steam feature <em>but should be able to hold steam</em> if added (e.g., a pan on the oven floor). The unit as a whole must handle bread-baking temps without melting or damage (another massive fail of the Samsung).</p><p>Other nice-to-haves: convection, and settings for bread proofing and fruit/meat drying.</p><p>The range hobs should support a Moka pot, which requires burner grates that support a small-diameter vessel (6--10cm / 3--4 in). Closed-cross designs work, open-cross does not. (This is a curiously common failing of many cookers.)</p><p>Griddle and wok rings would be nice, but not necessary.</p><p>Gas range preferred (I know), "dual fuel" electric oven works.</p><p>Boosts appreciated.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/dearMastomind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dearMastomind</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ovens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ovens</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>baking</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/sourdough" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sourdough</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/recommendations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recommendations</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/BoostsAppreciated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostsAppreciated</span></a></p>
Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p>Oh, and something that would be really useful would be a quick way of looking up a website and getting a rough classification as to <em>what type of content it presents</em>.</p><p>Wikipedia can offer some of this, occasionally sources such as Crunchbase, though the first is hard to parse.</p><p>The Alexa Crawl (Amazon, originally by Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive) used to offer this as well, though I think that's no longer active.</p><p>If anyone knows of other / better sources, I'd love to know.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DearMastomind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DearMastomind</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DearHivemind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DearHivemind</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/HackerNewsAnalytics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HackerNewsAnalytics</span></a></p>
Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DearHivemind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DearHivemind</span></a> / <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DearMastomind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DearMastomind</span></a>: I'm trying to find an essay on the evolution of a "scene", possibly from the aughts.</p><p>It's on the evolution of groups and cliques. Possibly band scenes or artists. First you've got the artists / creators, then you get the afficionadoes who recognise great work on their own, then the groupies and fans, then the people who follow the crowd (and often: "social opportunities" to put that spin on it), then the opportunists who seek to benefit from the crowd itself: advertisers, pickpockets, scammers, swag sellers, etc. </p><p>If this rings bells, please respond.</p><p>Boosts appreciated.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SceneEvolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SceneEvolution</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Groupies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Groupies</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Creators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Creators</span></a></p>
Doc Edward Morbius ⭕​<p>Is there any tool for aggregating long Mastodon <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/tootstorms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tootstorms</span></a> into a more tractable reading format? Sort of like birdsite's ThreadReader?</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DearMastomind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DearMastomind</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DearHivemind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DearHivemind</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Help</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Threading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Threading</span></a></p>
