The star anise was mostly for decoration. My daughter likes to munch on the seeds and herbs from broths and stews, so her bowl had just one.

The bowl is not that big… Hey, first time making it, I took some liberties.

60k stars for a free open source self hosted project? I’d say that’s a really healthy number. Jellyfin has 37k.

That’s exactly where I got it :)

I did have backups, it was an easy fix. I had a pihole -up on a crontab for years, probably not the best idea :)

FW rule accept :53 from pihole only, deny :53 from all. I had some devices with hardcored DNS settings (8.8.8.8).

Pihole 6 broke my DNS (dnsmasq), and since I had a fw rule in opnsense to only use pihole’s DNS, and deny public DNS access, it was an early rise for me :)

I bought it cured (it said Bauchspeck on the label) and went in the oven under the top grill at 200°C for about 20m on each side. It’s just a bit crunchy (skin and meaty ends), very chewy, quite salty and with a hint of smoke. It’s delicious. It’s not cooked with the broth, just assembled at the end.
