My current setup is Uptime Kuma sending notifications via Ntfy.

I need to resolve the issue of what to do when the internet is down (and thus Ntfy cannot be reached), but it has so far done everything I want it to do. It also means I get push notifications on all the devices I care to receive them on.

My understanding of the way that recipes are written is that ingredients are put in a list so you know if you have everything you need, or if you need to run to the store). There is no point in trying to make those new brownies if I check my pantry and I am missing the brown sugar and the store is closed.

I do suspect that most people writing recipes are the kind to plan and prepare. Admittedly, it helps for working through the recipe for the purposes of writing it.

The most recent recipe i transcribed was, very much:

• Result
  • Ingredient
  • Ingredient
  • Do something with 'em
• Result …

The only times I have had my mind changed are when I merely listened, and heard, and said nothing. It is tough to be vulnerable enough to be open to change. I think that even approaching it as a debate implies being combative, and thus makes it hard to be vulnerable.

There is also that some people just aren’t online to convince anyone of their point of view, or to be convinced otherwise, but just to say what they want to say and find people who agree with them. You’re most likely not going to change their mind because they just aren’t even in a position to entertain that there is something that could change.

There is one time I’d like to think I brought up something that the person hasn’t considered… But, if I’m generous, it only brought nuance to the subject.
