In dinner, I am having 'Dal Pitha' . It is a traditional dish from Bihar, India. Ever since my childhood, it has been a part of my life even though i never once got to live in Bihar except for 1-2 weeks.
Made from rice flour filled with spicy lentils, boiled in water and then can be fried in oil or clarified butter. Some like to eat boiled ones, some prefer fried ones but both ways, they taste so great.
Hope you're having a great day/night.
#Food
Tried a bit of a food experiment today. Tried to make a sort of fried rice style dish, no actual rice. Its made with fried chunks of scrapple/balkenbrij, chopped up cauliflower, chicory, soy sauce, turmeric, hot curry, msg, and some fresh grown hot peppers.
It turned out surprisingly good.
I've also imported the Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Urdu and other new translations from Crowdin. If you would like to see those translations completed, you can contribute here:

Please look at that page before asking for new languages to be added! They are probably already there!!
So far we only have a single moderator nomination. Look like @mngrif might get mod status uncontested :)
I'd love feedback on my first blog post re: practical cryptography for real people!

Hi All, it's been a couple of days since I have Mastodon, but I haven't introduced myself. I'm from Tamilnadu, India and I'm and IT professional. My interests are astro physics, food, superbikes, nature and animals. I'm trying out veganism for the past 10 days and I feel good that I'm not hurting any animals. I am having a good time on Mastodon. Hope to engage with more people here #introduction #india
@freemo @Surasanji @Jastej @arteteco @admin I recalled having making a post with a screenshot, showing Jastej how to Mute an account, or even block a whole instance/domain from his feed.
Found it - and it's worth looking at. I have used this myself to block a domain I object to.
#QOTO
(A follow up of my previous #QOTO post)
How cool it is when a sci-fi novel's prediction comes true? (Or almost true)
One such example is a 'DYSON SPHERE' , it is an hypothetical structure that engirdles a star and absorbs its energy.
/A lame analogy - An advanced civilization builds trillions of space drone with high efficiency solar panels that flies and surrounds a star. Absorbs its energy and returns every time they need to recharge /
This structure was first described in a sci-fi novel 'Star Maker' (1937) written by Olaf Stapledon. Years later a young Freeman John Dyson reads this book, who later became a Theoretical physicist. One of his work includes a thought experiment that theorizes the existence of a megastructure analogous to the one in Star Maker novel. (He even published a proper research paper backing his theory)
Fast forward to 2015, Kepler Space Telescope noticed unusual light fluctuations in KIC 8462852 star. This unusual light pattern from the star is unexplainable till now. None of the hypothesis seems to explain such weird behaviour. But Dyson sphere theory could. This star is famously called as 'Tabby Star'
Could this be a sign of an advanced civilization?
We have an election for the next #QOTO Moderator. Everyone is welcome to nominate exactly one person, including themselves.

@design_RG
Was thinking about taking Quantum Physics lesson from YT after the semester. The subject always seemed baffling.
@Surasanji
Just discovered this nifty little switch!!
Separate feeds but in one screen!!
My ADD is having a field day!!
And the ticker like motion of the Federated timeline is so cool !!
Can't wait to load this up on my bigger monitor!!
@freemo -- I was reading the About section, and I want to know what are the added features of QOTO ??
