  • Hello PlantJam

    Thank you.

    I am assuming that the all purpose flour you mention is the American all purpose flour.

    As far as I know American all purpose flour has a high protein content and is generally used for bread. Though dont quote me on that.

    I am sure this recipe will be OK with all purpose flour.

    It is flat bread after all.

    I only use organic bread flour because I buy 16Kg bags of the stuff, which is cheaper than buying from the local supermarket.

  • I have used Open-whisper and Fast-whisper to do subtitles.

    Open whisper is easy to set up and install locally. I tried various models.

    Recently I tried to do the French series En Therapie (In Therapy) which has 35 short episodes.

    https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/RC-020578/en-therapie/

    Each episode is only 20 minutes long, so I thought that open whisper would be great to translate from French to English.

    However. It failed dismally. Constant, regurgitation of repeated sentences. Throughout entire episodes open whisper used "him" instead of "her" and many other instances of misspelling. It would fail if there was music playing in the background.

    I extracted the audio from the videos into small .wav format and .mp3 format but both failed.

    I spent over a week trying to create suitable subtitles to no avail.

  • I only use Lineage and have done so for years without any problems since CyanogenMod 10.1.

    Do remember that it is the choice of the developers to use google services and nothing to do with google.

    When you say "Le Chat", do you mean Mistral AI assistant/chatbot? Its probably stopped working since GPT‑5.

    Currently it is not possible to run "Le Chat" ai on a phone without google,

    Again its the devopers choice. They could develop a non-google Le Chat.

    who on earth needs a chatbot on a phone?

    I have never have any problems finding open source alternative apps.

    I dont use any Banking Apps. Why do you need a banking app? I login to my bank in the comfort and safety of my home.

    If you must use google try E/OS. It Uses MicroG and works very well.

    microG is a FLOSS implementation of Google play services

  • Hey Vex_Detrause

    good question

    The 82% is the hydration of the dough. Basically, how much water is added.

    also known as "bakers percentage"

    The higher the hydration to wetter and more difficult the dough is to handle.

    The benfits are that you end up with much larger holes in the crumb. As per sourdoughs and classic French and Italian breads.

    you can work out the hydration of any dough by dividing the water by the flour, multiplied by 100.

    1000g flour and 820g water

    python in the terminal

    820/1000 0.82

    0.82*100 82.0

    generally, a basic simple home made loaf will be about 65% hydration.

    1000g flour and 650g water.

    650/1000 0.65

    0.65*100 65.0

  • Hello Leax

    I did recommend them.

    However, I am very biased because I did a lot of training there in the late 90's.

    I have always found that therapists trained at the Metanioa Institute to be a little more exacting in their approach to therapy.

    I have a look at their training process.

    One of the original founders of the Metanoia Institute was Petruska Clarkson. unfortunately she passed away in 2006. I first met her on a training day where she was teaching protective identification.

    she has written many fabulous books about Transactional Analysis and Gestalt.

  • I have managed to sort out linux montage so I can upload the images in a montage style

  • It is very telling for me that you say; I’d like to start a couple therapy, and not we would like.

    I am a retired psychotherapist. Sorry for being picky.

    you can try here for a therapist. search for therapists that specialise in couples therapy:

    https://www.psychotherapy.org.uk/find-a-therapist/?Distance=10

    https://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/

    This is the best one for sure. But I would say that.

    The Metanoia Institute.

    Do avoid any online therapy.

    People are more than a face on a screen. How do online therapists see involuntary body movements and body responses during the therapeutic session. They dont!

  • I have always used either filtered or bottled water for my baking.

    All bakeries I have worked at use filtered water.

    The chlorine and chloramine in tap water are not good for natural yeast and will kill it. Not that good for drinking either.

    I used to keep fish some 20-30 years ago.

    The process back then to top up your aquarium, was to fill a bucket with tap water, and leave it for 24 hour for the chlorine to evaporate.

    This changed with the introduction of chloramine and you now need specialist chemicals to remove the chloramine.

    The introduction of chloramine into our tap water here in the UK came about 30 years or so ago, when a London hospital was overwhelemed with its patients dying of water bourne diseases.

    Initially they could not work out what was causing it. They eventually found that the culprit was the water storage tank on the roof of the Hospital that supplied its water. The stagnant water had developed all sorts of bacteria and viruses.

    So they introduced chloramine.

    Generally though, I do not trust any privatised water company here in the UK. They are more concerned with profits than providing clean water.

    I personally have a black staining sludge forming in my toilet cistern and in the outlet of my taps. It is not clean water.

    So I always only use filtered water for everything.

  • Hello SeductiveTortoise

    Thank you

    Do try this high hydration dough.

    I have specifically adapted it so that other people can get used to high hydration doughs.

    there is no kneading in the recipe, nor any hands on french kneading, which is the main deterrent for new sourdough bakers.

    working with poolish doughs is a great introduction to learning sourdough techniques

    best of luck

  • Thank you. you are very kind

  • yes, you can still use signal, molly and signal-foss. I have signal on my desktop and some of my family have molly and some signal-Foss.

    The signal servers are primarily hosted on AWS with redundancies on Azure or Google Cloud. Molly and Siganl-FOSS use these too.

    The official Android app generally uses the proprietary Google Play Services, although it is designed to be able to work without them.

    Hence we use the signal-FOSS and Molly on our phones that do not have any google services.

    Like any AOSP rom, Lineage, there are no google play services.

    Its the google firebase that manages push notifications that seems to be the main privacy issue.

    MollySocket allows getting signal notifications via UnifiedPush, not google firebase,

  • The baguette trays do help keep the shape, but more importantly, they stop the dough rolling off.

    Over the years making these baguettes I have had many baguette doughs slide off the baking sheet as I slide them into the oven.

    There is no difference in the final bread using a basic oven baking sheet.

    I saw the baguette trays for cheap in TKMax. I think they were £2.50 each.

  • My apologies for not making that clearer

    it is in section 8.

    should have done a section 9 to specifically cover that.

    1. Cover the loaf tin in lightly oiled cling film, so the dough doesn’t dry out. Let it rest at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
