  • Just finished making soup for lunch. If you are looking for ways to eat more healthy vegetables, I suggest this soup recipe. Quick, easy, and surprisingly tasty!

    • 150g broccoli (stems work great)
    • 1 medium white onion
    • 125g zucchini
    • 200g spinach
    • 500ml chicken or veggie broth
    • 1 tsp dijon mustard
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    1. chop the broccoli, onion, and zucchini into small pieces
    2. heat the oil over low heat in a medium-large pot
    3. add the onions and broccoli and let them get tender, about 5-7 min
    4. add the zucchini, stir it in and let it go another 2 minutes
    5. add the broth and bring to a boil
    6. put a lid on and simmer for 12 minutes
    7. add the spinach and put the lid back on for 2-3 more minutes
    8. remove from heat and add the dijon mustard
    9. using an immersion blender to puree it into a smooth velvet texture and uniform color

    Serve in a bowl or big mug with a side of toasted crusty bread and enjoy!






  • Doesn’t mean it’s immune.

    That is what it means.

    Any project with a GPL or similar license is effectively immune from takeover.

    As long as there is someone with the skills and interest with access to the source (and there are legions), they can use it. If someone wants to keep it the way it was or change it in some big way, they can fork it.

    Every time there has been a corp buyout or ideological divide, the people exercise their rights and projects fork, preserving the independence and community values.


  • Kindly point me to three generalist, widely known XMPP servers.

    The lack of generalist widely known XMPP servers has nothing to do with the fact that today anyone who wants to deploy a modern up to date XMPP server can do so, and has choices. There are also modern actively maintained clients. That’s my point. There are also many general free servers to join, even if not well known.

    If you base the value of something on its popularity rather than its utility, then we aren’t concerned about the same things. As long as I can use the software I want to use in the way I want to use it, then I’m a happy user. I can’t control what other people use.
