  • This is the substance of my recipe note as it appears on disk:

    prep:
    
    fork ventilation
    oil
    spices
    
    425 degrees
    63 minutes
    

    So, use a fork to stab air vents in russet potatoes. Slather them in cooking oil / vegetable oil. Add spices like ground black pepper, season salt, whatever suits you. Wrap them in foil. Bake on a pan (the oil may leak into the bottom of your stove otherwise). The rest, I’m sure you can figure out.

    Cut them lengthwise and dump in butter and sour cream. Delicious.



  • My tip for anyone struggling with getting started with linux, set up a log function so you can easily log any relevant changes you make, and have it accessible from somewhere else (like a shared partition or external drive for example). This way you know what you have done and can use that to fix whatever you fuck up. Also, make a knowledge base with the sources you find useful. I have a small kb in UpNote now so I can look up how some things were done instead of having to search and find the right guides over and over.

    This is the best advice for anyone who wants to learn how to utilize the command line. I used to write tremendous documentation for myself, as though I was writing a blog post. Now, I just throw a one line description of the change and hope I remember enough about it for it to make sense. But writing the longer info was really important for me internalizing things in the very beginning.

    Glad you’re having fun!

    Edit: Oh, and I suggest you look for guides on setting up rsync to work like Time Machine.
