thank you all very much - we’ll check out the resources and recommit to doing this!

another one for the trying to learn japanese - my problem is i start and then stop. rinse & repeat so i never get very far 🤣

looks yummy! what’s in the little bowl?

i had a recipe for one which used caramel bananas, honemade toffee sauce and creme fraiche which cut through the sweetness beautifully. i need to go find that recipe - thank you

and if you like the sandwiches this is a terrific video https://youtu.be/eatQ9-79zGU

these are from a place in bellevue wa that specializes in them.

and feiw have been all over europe & asia but japan is hands down my favorite place to visit ever.

tokyo is a monster of a great city … foreign as you can get but amazingly easy to navigate.

very nice people, terrific food city with a really old beautiful culture.

all i can offer for advice is to not over think it. find a flight and hotel in your budget and just do it. guarantee you won’t be disappointed ❤️

wish i could argue with you but i cannot. despite being a nutrition dumpster fire, it was still delicious.

never thought i’d say this pre-covid: i sure missed business travel 🤣

it’s a real restaurant - chinese place that apparently does legit korean chicken. great discovery after a long day of travel.

omg i used to have one of these!!! so cool what you’ve done with it 😭

my biggest tip is that if you’re on ios get wefef. great app that makes the lemmy experience beautiful and seamless.

when you read a comment from c/all from a community you want to join you can click on the community c/link to see all the posts from that community.

then use the three dots in the app at the top right to subscribe. soooo much easier than trying to search for a community from the web ux.

and i guess the other tip is to just manage your expectations - reddit wasn’t built in a day and it’ll take a while for all of our niche communities to create new homes here 🥰

great looking pickes - do you by any chance have a recipe?

hi and welcome! i’m 1 month old here and also love it. great community, good conversation abd spez is slowly fading into the rear view mirror little by little each day.

welcome to you and everyone else coming over! looking forward to great shenanigans.

awesome- very exciting and thank you 😊

shower thoughts… and still on my first cup of coffee to more just musing than anything …

if storage is the concern wonder if the lemmy roadmap might one day include an option to use cloud based storage?

azure storage at .06/gb per month is likely cheaper and more redundant than local storage - even if you factor in calls to the blob which could be lowered via caching.

cloud storage potentially might one day lead to a option for smaller self hosters to opt into a shared blob instance where the and cost is shared.

in this scenario security to ensure the cloud blob couldn’t be deleted would need to be thought through (maybe splitting the password among multiple admins with each having one part of the whole?) but might be one way to better encourage more self hosting for them compute side of things.
