bigfunlxon Spotify excessively writing to drive

I'm using 1.0.42.151.g19de0aa6 on macOS, and I see the difference. after 1hr of playing I only see ~100MB of data written by Spotify.

bigfunlxon Fermented foods probably deserve their healthful reputation

One thing that I missed the most after coming to US was sourdough bread. I couldn't stand this sweet, sponge-like "bread" that was available here. I didn't have to use fermentation starter in Poland, because there you can get all kinds of fermented foods straight from the store. The explosion of taste I had after I tried my own-made sour bread is beyond means of expression available to human race.

If someone in bay area would like to try baking their own bread, but they don't want to grow the fermentation starter from scratch, let me know, I can share mine. it's based on whole-grain flour, and it's pretty stable (6 months old now!).

bigfunlxon What Xfinity Internet Data Usage Plans will Comcast be Launching?

How do you people in US even allow that to happen? In Poland we pay less than $10 for 10Mbit/s. We pay $30 for 250 Mbit/s DL 20 Mbit/s UL , and last time we had limited data plans was like 8 years. If we were to pay what you pay, for the quality you have, we would basically go for nationwide strike.
