Excrubulent, to cooking in How much flour would I need for an XL pizza?
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

If we’re just trying to make a proportional change, then the area formula is all you need, since we can assume the height should be roughly the same between them.

It really should be a simple calculation. In fact, you don’t even need pi, since that’s a common factor. All you need is the ratio between diameters squared.

If you want to go from 12" to 16" recipes, you take (16/12)^2 ~= 1.8

So just multiply all the amounts by that factor and it should be about right. If it’s not, adjust it a bit for next time.

As I said elsewhere: that’s no longer a dark forest. The moment one civilisation speaks up, they all know they’re not alone. Then they’re in a different universe, one where there’s no longer a paradox because they’ve found each other.

I think I just realised that the term “conservative” is just a lie. Just like “pro-life” or whatever other BS they come up with, it’s just a smokescreen to cover their real agenda, which is to dominate others.

Excrubulent, (edited ) to asklemmy in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

Oh dang, that’ll save me a bit of time stripping that stuff out. It’s amazing how easy it is once you have just a little bit of understanding of how URLs work. My most common URL hack is getting youtube shorts to play with full controls. You just replace /shorts/[videoID] with watch?v=[videoID]

I used it today to go through this video frame by frame to discover that she in fact didn’t hit her face:

youtube.com/shorts/Pz1H1NI_22M

youtube.com/watch?v=Pz1H1NI_22M

On desktop you can use , and . to step through the frames.

Excrubulent, to piracy in Does YouTube block mentions of uBlock Origin or Sponsorblock in comments?
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

I’ve had the word aliexpress get me a warning for “spam & scams”, and another very short comment got me a temporary ban. I have no idea why, maybe because it looked like fake engagement? I mentioned the phrase “youtube channel”. So strange.

I feel like I shouldn’t keep putting my energy onto that platform and am looking for a good peertube instance to start uploading to.

I’ll take them, just in a bag, thanks!

Maybe you could explain the idea then? No, I haven’t read that book.

Excrubulent, to piracy in Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

When I was working IT in a place that produced transcripts - so we had loads of typists all using Windows and MS Word loaded down with a thousand macros - the IT department made all of the servers linux based, and all our production was stored on samba shares. The only reason they hadn’t transitioned the entire workforce to linux was resistance from management.

I imagine there would’ve been resistance from users too, but all of the inertia was due to familiarity and had absolutely nothing to do with technical barriers. The entire IT team was frothing at the mouth to be free of Microsoft’s arbitrary BS. Windows caused us no end of headaches.

In fact, because every typist needed a browser open at all times to research legal terms and other details, I had a number of people complain their computer was running slowly. For every one of them, I installed firefox and made it the default browser and told them they’d need to login to all of their online accounts again. Every single one told me I’d “fixed the computer” and it “works so much better now”.

Oh I see it now. I’m obviously not up on my trolley problem lore.

Thanks, I’ve learned a few new terms after going back and editing that, there’s a bit more detail in it now.

No worries, like I said you hit on two of my special interests. Plus it was fun to pull out all my sailing jargon after all that time.
