  • Interesting idea. I’d heard of just putting oak bark in beer as that essentially confirms that the yeast can survive in those conditions!

    What’s the thinking behind the yeast flakes? I presume you mean the Hefeflocken you get in German grocery shops? IIUC this is baked yeast cake so shouldn’t have live yeast to compete with the wild ones but perhaps provides nutrients?

    I can see how the oil might help stave off kahm yeast but won’t you need oxygen at first to help the wild yeast multiply?



  • I imagine it feels quite righteous to drop maxims like this. I too am reminded everyday how glad I am not to have to live in a fascist state.

    That said I think this sort of superficial dismissal is really unhelpful.

    I think the vast majority of Linux users will agree we don’t want to have to work with these laws but the reality is that we do. Far better we focus our efforts on minimising harm and promoting alternative mechanisms (e.g. zero-knowledge proofs).

    Further I fear this righteousness actually serves to foster a toxic culture in the free software movement. And do you know what we call belligerent people who want to stifle dissent? Fascists!
