Presenting: Regexle, a wordle-like game for nerds 🤓

Guess the secret regular expression by testing strings against it!

@piko and I might be two years late with this project, but here we go!

:yayblob: https://regexle.ithea.de :yayblob:

You can create your own puzzles in the sidebar, and get a link to share with others!

We have daily regexes to guess for the next month, but feel free to send us your ideas, and we'll add them!

Also, we'd be curious to get feedback for how well the site works for people using screenreaders, and what we could improve!

@rachel @fernsehmuell Ohh! Can you send us a screenshot of how it looks like? @piko

@dasnessie @deraffe Lovely idea! :D

Added that suggestion as an issue: https://gitlab.com/sudo_piko/regexle/-/issues/53

@piko @fernsehmuell @rachel @codingcatgirl @keko We deployed a fix, can you try again? :)

Also, thanks @nordern, that was totally the cause!

@plusmid Is this for a regex you entered yourself? We check if any of our English words match it because we want to give one example that matches, and one which doesn't match. That's inspired by the board game Zendo! But maybe we could still let people play it without getting initial information in that case?

Or can you modify your regex to match some English words? @piko

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

@Aedius We accept a regex as correct as soon as it matches the same words from our list of English words as the other one – otherwise, we'd need to test regexes for equality, which seems conplicated :D And often, there are multiple ways to phrase a solution.

But we could maybe show the "intended" regex, as well!

In der Pause bei der Jurysitzung vom Prototype Fund diskutieren die anwesenden Gebärdendolmetscherinnen darüber, dass es für „GitHub“ auch eine Gebärde gibt und es nicht biuchstabiert werden muss.

@johl Ohh, wie sieht die Gebärde aus? Hast du's rausgefunden? Kannst du fragen? Das ist wichtig! :D

This little cutie, has just been diagnosed with PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophie) and has become completely blind. I'm looking for people who have some experience with blind dogs and can give me some advice.

Thank you for boosting

@Charlie I'm really saddened to hear that! :( Sending warm thoughts to the two of you!

You might've heard this concern about veganism: "I couldn't live without cheese!" 🧀

And indeed, the vegan cheese that's available in supermarkets is often… not great so far.

So I wanted to show you how to make a simple, quick & cheap cheese from cashews! It's tangy, savory, and has lots of protein!

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

This is what we'll need:

  • 300 g roasted, salted cashews
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon or lime juice
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp mustard
  • black pepper

This time, I used distilled vinegar concentrate, with you need to dilute 1:4 with water to get to an acid content of 5%.

But I've also used rice vinegar in the past. Any other vinegar should work, as well.

Put all ingredients (except the pepper) in a blender.

You could also use an immersion blender, maybe you'd need to stir it up a couple of times with a spoon.

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

@deBaer Haha, really? Curious to see the result! :D

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

Blend until you get a consistency like crumbly ice cream with chunks! :D

The trick here is not to blend too much, or let it get too hot – otherwise, the result will be more like a cream cheese.

So put the blender on a rather slow speed, take breaks, or stir it in between.

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

Almost done! Shape it into a wheel, and try not to snack to much, because it's already so delicious at this stage!

Finally, I like to roll the cheese in roughly-ground black pepper, which adds an extra kick to it!

If you'd like a less intense version, you can use other herbs or spices – I've once used dill, and that was very tasty! Oregano could also be nice.

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

Put the cheese in plastic wrap, and chill it in the fridge for a few hours – it will firm up quite a bit.

Done! :) If you try it, let me know how you like it, and send pictures!

This is a style of cheese alternative that I first found in Spain. It doesn't try to imitate cheese made from animal milk, and instead does its own (delicious) thing.

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

@lritter It doesn't fit that definition, but it's delicious, you can put it on bread, or crumble over pasta! :)

I think there are recipes that involve fermentation, or even mold cultures – but I haven't tried that, and I wanted to share a simple recipe that just takes a couple of minutes, instead of weeks.

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

@OliverUv Hehe, yeah, longest I've stored it is for a week or so, I think!

blinry,
@blinry@chaos.social avatar

@fiee I haven't tried with raw cashews – for me, roasting makes the taste more interesting in general. But I guess you could roast the big bag yourself in the oven!

@derphilipp Looks great! :)

I want to try the "make 50 of something" technique again!

So this week, I'll try to find 50 things to do with a Software Defined Radio! 📻

I'll use this simple USB dongle, which you can get for around $30.

My current monthly challenge is to eat at a 1000 kcal deficit for 30 days! :breadnommed: Posting about my challenges here has been really motivating in the past, so I'll do it again!

I started on Tuesday (Day 1), where I consumed the amount of energy required to charge my smartphone battery 92 times!

@sn0opy Jep, calculated the burned calories using Cronometer and added them :) My running days were the best days, because I could eat more!
