How to run a "simple" Samba Podman container under Fedora 31

 

This is really just a "note to self" to document how I set-up a basic home-share from a Samba daemon running in a Podman container under Fedora 31. Unfortunately doing such a notionally simple task involves getting a bunch of slightly finicky security and isolation systems to cohabit in just the right way.

Neapolitan Pizza Recipe

This is just the basic recipe for the dough and sauce for Neapolitan-style pizza. I'll briefly outline the traditional toppings and baking technique, but for various reasons, you probably want to make your own way there. Note that this is an overnight recipe: You make the dough one day and use it the next.

Sorbet reference

I've been getting into making sorbet a bit recently, making icy-poles out of some left-over limes at Christmas time and messing around with frozen mangoes.

Just last weekend, my dad unloaded a bucket of perfectly ripe, if a bit bug-ridden elberta peaches (He's been doing the rounds of friends and relatives to try and get rid of them).

I decided I was going to peel, stone, debug and make the peaches into sorbet too, so I'd better start getting serious about the recipe. I found this pretty comprehensive article about technique and links to several handy recipes by Max Falkowitz in Serious Eats, so I'm making sure I have a record of it for posterity:

How to make the best sorbet

La Viña Cheesecake

This delicious cheesecake recipe was shamelessly plagiarised from Mimo Food, who posted it with permission from La Viña restaurant in San Sebastián, Spain. I stole it so I could make the quantities less gargantuan (halve), Fix an error in the baking temperature (Celsius vs. Fahrenheit) and just ensure that I have somewhere to remember it (It's ungoogleable for me right now).The cake is eye-poppingly sweet and creamy and best served with touches of brown around the edges and "just warm" after baking.

Phonebaby teardown

The Phonebaby backstory

In June this year, I attended Dangerous Prototypes' Hacker Camp Shenzhen (Possibly the last one too). On the intro night, Aaron from Oomlout showed a dinky little "Phonebaby" mini GSM phone he'd acquired recently.

Slow cooked lamb leg

Lamb legs are $8 a kilo at the big supermarkets right now, so I thought I'd celebrate by cooking a slow-roast half lamb leg.
The recipe's not exactly rocket science:
Roughly chop a carrot, an onion and a couple of celery sticks to make a trivet on the bottom of a slow-roaster. Chop-in a clove of garlic. rub salt and oil all-over a half lamb leg (Bonus points if you leave it this way in the fridge overnight for extra tenderising). Sit the lamb on top of the trivet and sprinkle some dried oregano and lemon zest over it (Or any herbs/spices you like... A bay leaf wouldn't go astray!). Dump a jar of passata over the top and put the lid on.
Set it going on low at breakfast time and by dinner time you'll have delicious, tender meat! I gave mine another 10 minutes in 200° C oven (Could have just been 5 minutes, really). Portion using a spoon and/or fork.
Adjust the seasoning in the remaining cooking liquor and vegetables and use this as a sauce (Pass it through a blender/stick-mixer if you prefer a less "rustic" sauce).
