  • I mostly cook basmati or Thai jasmine rice. I don’t have a rice cooker, or space for one in my kitchen, so I use a regular pot with a lid.

    1. Wash the rice in the pot by running it under the tap and mixing it until the bowl fills up. Discard the water and repeat 3-4 times, or until the water becomes clear.
    2. Drain the pot completely after washing the rice, then add water about 1:1 by volume with rice, or slightly less for basmati.
    3. Cover with lid and put on high heat until it begins vigorously boiling (keep an eye on it).
    4. Reduce the heat to low and leave for 5-6 minutes.
    5. Turn the heat completely off and leave covered another 5-7 minutes.

    Different kinds of rice might require adjustments to the time, but the overall procedure stays the same.




  • I use OneDrive for the auto-upload feature. I know it’s not selfhosted, but I want an off-site copy of my pictures anyway, and the phone app works really well for auto-uploading. I had previously tried Nextcloud’s auto-upload, but many times the uploading was stuck and I had to fix it manually.

    I then have nightly rclone jobs to download the photos from OneDrive and store them locally. To view them locally, I use Photoview, which works really well with an existing directory structure.
