you can verify if Content Cache is working in a couple ways... first, while installing the update, you should see a CPU usage spike in Activity Monitor for the process "AssetCache".

secondly, you can run this command on the machine you want to upgrade, to verify that it can see your Content Caching Server (it should report the local IP address of the machine you set up Content Caching on) "AssetCacheLocatorUtil"


great info, thanks.

Looks like if the machine is asleep it won't use it for a content cache, even if "wake for network access" is turned on. So a pretty useless feature if you have a machine that's allowed to sleep.


FWIW, we found that we can dilute Dr. Brommer's soap with water and it works really well in those same foaming soap dispensers (and it foams!). Pure organic saponified oils for washing my hands... for the win.


I just want to plug another awesome use for Dr. Bronner's--as a replacement for spray cleaner. We used to get the windex or 409 or whatever it is, the stuff you'd spray on counters and wipe up with a paper towel.

No more, I now dilute a little Bronner's in an old spray bottle with a lot of water, spray it on, wipe up my kitchen debris, stuff smells great, cleans up the counters a treat, and is insanely cheap for the value.


Thank you. I'll pick some up and give it a shot.

Are you just re-purposing standard off the shelf foaming soap dispensers or did you buy something in particular (e.g. can I reuse a Method foaming dispenser)?


I've used regular off the shelf foaming dispensers with Dr. Bronner's before and it worked well. I used roughly a 1/5 soap to water ratio.


Your suggestion also works for most liquid soaps: Just add ~50% water (mix well) and they foam in a foam soap dispenser.



I have found that my homemade water-soap mixtures will eventually cause the foam soap dispenser to jam up and stop working. Adding in a small amount of glycerin seems to help keep the dispenser lubricated.


"Preppers" ?


I use a catch-all (*@mydomain.tld), and forward everything to the same place. Really simple and I can just make up email addresses on the fly when I need to, no config necessary, and harder to reverse than the +addresses trick.


I searched the same thing, decided it's probably a pun on "perfunctory" + sphincter-clench-inducing


os/browser? could not replicate here on mac/chrome


Clarification: reveal.js supports markdown for individual slides. This project (Marp) allows you to write your whole presentation in a single markdown document.

(Using just "---" to separate slides instead of repeating: <section data-markdown> <script type="text/template"> slide markdown goes here </script> </section>

...seems like a productivity win IMO)


You can just use Pandoc to output reveal.js HTML for you.

    pandoc hello.md -t revealjs -o hello.html


Neat! Combine this with http://entrproject.org/ and https://github.com/cortesi/devd/releases for live-regenerating+reloading html output on md input changes :) . Or incrond, but entr feels great for this kind of ad-hoc workflow.


Oh that's very cool. What's the slide separator?


This might help:

Looks like either top level headings (equivalent to sections I guess) or a line like this "----------" would work.


Reveal also supports this on external markdown files: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/#external-markdown

My personal example: http://slides.mkii.org/#/1


We use this in generator-reveal[1]. One markdown file per slide and minimal configuration in a json file. I have no shame

Been running it for a few days, no bugs discovered here and there is a clear difference in quality.


It's more about a controlled growing environment. Outdoors there's a 100% higher chance of pollination, which means seeds and spindly buds. Indoors it's much easier to separate male and female plants, and also much more likely to have consistent watering etc which leads to more lush growth


I personally find that [high quality] outdoor is akin to a beer after work. It helps you wind down after a stressful day. An hour or two later and there are no lingering effects, it's great for a touch of relaxation. I find that I can carry on being productive even while high.

Conversely, indoor tends to be more like sharing a bottle of wine with someone - you're going to get far a stronger kick out of it and it's going to last longer. It also tastes much nicer.

I'm not disputing what you're saying, growing outdoor is cheap (virtually free) and therefore attractive. Typically there is little pride involved and the quality suffers. However, well-grown outdoor fills a niche just like well-grown indoor does. It merely has a bad reputation.


besides the pollination from other farmers, which is probably far from 100%, selection is not any easier indoors, why would it?


as far as hardware for the actual lamp itself, it looks like melting some colored candles and some water in a glass jar over an incandescent bulb should suffice for starters. more advanced "ooze" formula including anti-freeze found here: http://oozinggoo.com/ll-form5.html


Yeah, that's not really the point. I meant something more like this:

I find it pretty incredible something like this doesn't already exist from a major manufacturer! I mean, I understand why Belkin/GE/etc want to lock you into their ecosystem, but it seems not that hard to build an open alternative - and eat their collective lunches.
