Five Questions, March 🤔

Gopher user Gef asks 5 questions for March

What is your favorite soup?

I'm not sure if you'd count this as soup, but I like pottage which is somewhere getween soup and stew. Boil up some veg with *lots* of herbs (I recommend dill, but chuck in lots of whatever you've got), but only half-cook the veg. Root veg is best, but go with whatever you've got. Meanwhile in a big pot, soften/brown some onions and garlic. Finally, half-cook some red lentils with some peppercorns. All these things should be finished about the same time. Chuck everything in the big pot with the onions, cover, and give it however long you fancy. Serve with a chunk of your favourite bread.

The collapse is near! You have only weeks to download everything you need to survive without the internet. What would you download first and why?

Oh dear, I need an off-line editor for Thumby, but does that even exist? Apart from that, I think I'm ok.

What is the dream that you remember most in your life?

I once dreamt I was in the audience in a 1960s TV studio for a pop music programme where the Beatles were playing. I stood near Ringo's dum kit. Some weird things about this: the dream was in black and white, and I'm not particularly a Beatles fan, and I wouldn't have been born.

As the rain replace the snow here, what are you most excited about for spring?

I like not commuting in the dark. That makes me feel a bit more human.

The surface web is getting over-taken by AI and marketing, yet there are hidden gems online. What is the most interesting website that you go back to?

It seems like all the glory of the web is in the past. The only thing I check regularly now is my dreamwidth reading page, and that's mostly RSS feeds.

I do quite like Window Swap

People point a camera out of their window and submit the video, so you're just watching what they can see from where they live. Usually nothing much happens. I just watched one where after about 5 minutes of nothing much, a fork lift drives by, which was a bit random.
