Kannste zwar machen, ist aber auch irgendwie sinnlos…?

Falls ihr euch immer schon mal fragtet, ob man Ivar-Regale auch an die Wand schrauben kann: Ja, wenn man die Stützkreuze kreativ einsetzt, und für den mitteren Holm eine Verspannung aus Drahtseilen herstellt, sodass die Böden noch reinpassen.

Übersetzung und Dolmetschen in Zeiten von KI:
"Wenn Sie jetzt einen Text haben wollen, in dem deutsche Wörter aneinander gereiht sind, dann ist [KI] ein ganz schnelles, billiges Mittel. Aber sobald das ein Text mit Substanz sein soll, mit Gefühl – wir sind ja auch fühlende und ästhetische Wesen, wir haben ein Gespür für Sprache – das kann die KI nicht. Die KI kann ja nicht über das Informationslevel hinaus [übersetzen], aber das ist ja immer noch keine Sprache." https://www.swr.de/swrkultur/wissen/ki-als-dolmetscher-wozu-noch-fremdsprachen-lernen-100.html (30min 🔊)

"Before industrialization, it seems, time was an abundant resource. […] I'm not arguing that the preindustrial era was better, and that machinery is bad. But it does feel kind of odd that with all the time-saving technology we've acquired, people seem to have less free time than ever. Today, time is such a scarce resource, that repairing and maintaining the things we own feels exotic, and almost extravagant."

Was gibt es heute? Pudding aus Vollkornmehl und sehr viel Salz. In der Bäckerssprache auch bekannt als "Kochstück", um mehr Feuchtigkeit in den Teig zu bekommen.

Ich muss dringend was mit Holz machen. Das hat zwar auch manchmal Löcher, aber wenigstens keine von Security-Relevanz.

You deserve good work.

Mostly a quiet build video (16 min), with some quotes from a 1979 sociology essay mixed in between that still seem somehow relevant in the current state of the world.

"Who, it may be asked, calls the tune? Fundamentally, the technologist. Whatever becomes technologically possible—within certain economic limits—must be done. Society must adapt itself to it. The question of whether or not it does any good is ruled out on the specious argument that no one knows anyhow what is good or evil, wholesome or unwholesome, worthy of man or unworthy."

– E.F. Schumacher: Good Work (1979), chapter "Towards a Human-Scale Technology"

"The basic aim of modern industrialism is not to make work satisfying but to raise productivity; its proudest achievement is labor saving, whereby labor is stamped with the mark of undesirability. But what is undesirable cannot confer dignity; so the working life of a laborer is a life without dignity."

– E.F. Schumacher: Good Work (1979), chapter "Towards a Human-Scale Technology"

"The question of what the work does to the worker is hardly ever asked, not to mention the question of whether the real task might not be to adapt the work to the needs of the worker rather than to demand that the worker adapt himself to the needs of the work —which means, of course, primarily to the needs of the machine."

– E.F. Schumacher: Good Work (1979), Prologue

Yesterday I noticed two new tears in my merino neck gaiter (I guess the zipper on my jacket was at fault), so these were promptly covered with two twigs of lavender… which came out more like foxglove plants in the end.

maybe something for #TextureTuesday

Result: yep, these are cracking. But salt content is lacking… might need some dip.

Recipe: mix 85g old rye #sourdough starter, 100g rye flour (type 1150), 100g wholegrain spelt, 160g water, 8g salt, 25g olive oil, let rest for 22 hours at room temperature, notice that it's way too sticky, add about 100g of spelt and 4g of salt and some caraway seeds, knead well, flatten very thin onto parchment paper, cut into small pieces, bake ~12 minutes at 200°C, eat some while letting cool off.

I have too much #sourdough starter – I feed it weekly, but the bread from one baking usually lasts two to three weeks (partly frozen) at my consumption level. So let's see if I can make rye/spelt wholegrain crackers with caraway seeds from the leftovers.

I already fell into the trap of letting the dough rise for almost a day at rpom temperature while I was procrastinating, so it was very sticky, and I had to mix more flour & salt in, so I have now almost double of what I planned… 😬
