One of the things one can consider is _prebaking_ the bread. +Have you seen those baguettes that look kind of weird and half-baked? I am going to try that! + +Yesterday afternoon I made a batch of white-bread dough, from a good scoop of _Dougie_ (who is doing +fine, thanks for asking!) and a random trial recipe: 275ml milk, 1 egg, 550g of flour, and 150g of +Dougie-levain, 10g of milk, kneeded in the machine for 15 minutes and put in the proofing oven for +90min to ... wait 90min? At about 1am yesterday I ascend from my lair to remember: oh crap, I was +going to make bread! + +What's a baker to do? I did what was right, and decided to forfeit some sleep: I punched the dough, +which was like 4x its normal size, back to 1x its size, formed two boules of roughly 500g each, and +patiently waited for the second rise (35min), after which I put them in the oven to bake for 40min +on 150C. This made them come out almost the same color, but some 20% larger than they came in. They +have been _prebaked_! So I felt like I could go to bed a happy little baker. + +# Morning + +{{< image frame="true" width="17em" float="right" src="/img/headline/kushsessions-03.png" alt="Credit: Kushsessions, YouTube" >}} + +Marina was up earlier than I got up today. She had taken to replacing the plunger in the downstairs +toilet, after having practiced on the one in the guestroom in the attic. I, having gone to bed at -- +once again -- 02:30 last night, sleep in until about 11:00. No cramps this morning, and my left foot +feels like it's about to return to the land of the living. + +I get up, make myself a cup of espresso, and start my morning ritual, feeling a little bit, but not +very much, guilty that Quinn got up at 05:00 to get to work by 06:30 and therefore has been hard at +work for an uncomfortably long time. + +# Afternoon + +I impatiently wait for Marina to finish the toilet plunger maintenance. She's running late, has had +breakfast (I have not), and I'm a bit hangry. I lob one of the _prebaked_ loaves of bread into the +oven for a _postbake_, at 225C fo 15min. It comes out magnificent, and the scoring with Marina's +gift - a new razorblade scoring knife - has done wonders. The bread smells good enough for her to +abort the mission and come have lunch with me. Mission accomplished! + +After lunch, I take to cleaning the kitchen. Now that I'm a stay-at-home-dad, I think it's only fair +that I take part in the housekeeping! I give the whole kitchen a good scrub, including the +non-obvious bits like the cupboard doors and and the blue (glass based, so awfully +finger-print-aware) backsplash. It feels good and I have a sense of immediate satisfaction: whatever +else happens today, I did this project. It is clean. + +But, I've kind of been holding off on a project for a loooong time. Now that I have this fancy Mic +boom, and previously bought an Elgato Facecam and Streamdeck, it's finally time to configure them. +For the greater part of the afternoon, I am in my happy zone: futzing around with the audio mixer in +[[OBS Studio]https://obsproject.com/()]. For me the most fulfilling is to tweak the settings of the +microphone, desktop audio, and monitor/output for audio called [[VB Cable](https://vb-audio.com/Cable/)] +and for video called [[OBS Virtual Cam](https://obsproject.com/kb/virtual-camera-guide)], just right! + +I ask Quinn if he can have a call with me to help me tweak the final bits of audio and video, which +works both on Peertube -- I can stream! -- as well as pre-recorded videos for publication, but also +real-time with Jitsi, Zoom and Meet. All tested, certified and work! Unfortunately the _VB Cable_ +and _OBS Virtual Camera_ only work on Chrome-based browsers. That's OK though, for the video calls I +use Google Meet mostly, anyway. + +# Evening + +I am somewhat succesful, with a mic that can suppress the output from a desktop app (in my case, a +Youtube video playing in Firefox), including a bunch of scenes with layouts and camera angles, all +programmed into the Stream Deck (see pic below). I'm chuffed, to bits, and I record a victory video +showing off the configs and controls and (really beautiful, it really feels as if I'm in a +professional studio) audio and video that OBS provides: + +{{< video src="/media/vdo/2024-08-08_20-30-06_20.35.18.mp4" type="video/mp4" preload="auto" >}} + +At 22:00 I have a call with my buddy Alessandro from [[Naquadria](https://www.naquadria.it/)]. I +met him in Athens a few months ago and we really connected on account of my desire to connect local +IXPs together to make them more valuable to one another. I've written about this on my [[IPng +Blog](https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/04/27/freeix-remote/)], and Alessandro really wanted to +participate with his [[Piacenza IX](https://www.pcix.it/)] connecting it to my [[Free +IX: Switzerland](https://free-ix.ch)] in Zurich as well as the Greek variant [[Free IX: +Greece](https://free-ix.gr)] in Athens and Amsterdam. Naquadria got a connection to Interxion Zurich +where they will connect to IPng and its network of local IXPs in Zurich. It's going to be great fun! +This call was with Alessandro and his tech lead Leonardo. I really enjoyed the call- a combination +of local peering politics, a phiantropic desire to good by the _little guys_ on the internet +exchange scene, and pure technology on VPP, Linux, Arista, FreeBSD and other things + +I left the call with Alessandro and Leo on absolute high. We're going to try to complete the FreeIX +Italy + Zurich interconnect project before the ITNOG meeting on October 8th in Piacenza. I'm game! + +After the meeting -- which ended at 23:45, I quickly write up my journal entry for the day, finish +my glass of wine (Spanish, sorry!) and turn in. I think I'll sleep well tonight. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-07/IMG_0562.JPG" caption="The italian wine which I did not drink today (but yesterday, if that makes sense!)" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-08/IMG_0563.JPG" caption="At 01:30 I formed and set the boules into the oven for a second rise." >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-08/IMG_0564.JPG" caption="At 02:15 the loaves have been baked for 40min at 150C, this makes them prebaked, and ready for a second final bake at 225C later.
