Old Bay OR Cajun seasoning?! Having lived in Baltimore for a few years & having family in Louisiana, having those seasonings be interchangeable could result in a paddlin' :p

I kid of course, this sounds like a good crock pot recipe! I'll have to try it.
 
I already have the chicken defrosting to make this either tomorrow or thursday. Old Bay and Cajun Seasoning are apparently used interchangeably as a cajun spice. I prefer Slap Ya Mama! Or Tony Caecheres. Its going to be good! I will be slapping the mama on this one :)

I used Tony Caecheras on this one. I have old bay but I save that for a biscuit recipe I have.
 
OMG! If you are going to cook with a Crockpot it is best to be at work or something while it is going because the smell is going to be in there all day. If you guys could smell it it in here, it is so good but it still has like 2 hours and this smell cannot be ignored. I want to eat it NOW!

Finished Product! Added two Tablespoons of flour to thicken up the sauce. Cooking time was 8 hours not 6 and a half.
 
So as I am farther into my cooking adventure I can properly comment on Old Bay and Cajun Seasoning. Frankly, I use both. The Old Bay has a distinct flavor over your normal Cajun spice though, so I tend to use them both but just not as much Old Bay. It is just another Season All type thing that you have to be careful over using because of the sodium. Good stuff though!

    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Good stuff.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Just make sure it is secure. :)

  • The Helper The Helper:
    It will only be on internal network
  • jonas jonas:
    Man the AI is good about gaslighting about security though. I've had several times where I pointed out security problems and it tried to convince me that with a tiny tweak it suddenly becomes secure
  • jonas jonas:
    Like using a distrobox as a "secure" container, and when I point out that's not secure at all, it claimed that specifying home will make it secure
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah I finished the app today and it is bad ass. Like ChatGPT codes way better and faster than me that is for sure. The app is unsecure AF though and I would never put it anywhere it was obvious. I did not even show it today, the boss never made it in, but I showed the office and they liked it and frankly, I do software for a living and I am qualified to judge this kind of stuff and... Holy Shit this is a game changer. It took me around 4 hours to finish the app from design to end and that is much faster than I could have done it in the outdated MS Access the thing it replaced was in. Good Stuff! Had tons of fun doing it too! Work has not been fun in a while - today was fun!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    And really, I did not do it, chat wrote all the code I just pasted it in, tested it, acted like Chats eyes on it and just learned. I learned VS Code, how to use the Terminal and a bunch of Powershell and Command stuff, I used Git for the first time and learned how to save, search, start my server, stop it, run the tests, do some debugging - all the freaking fun stuff - chat wrote all the code
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I think the key was the 40 minutes of that 4 hours that went into the design of it. The thing was fully specced out before we started and the only reason it took so long was I had never done any of it and had to get used to the navigation and workflow.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    React, JS and AG Grid are the tools that I know i used along with git. I learned alot but it will be a minute before I fully understand everything I am doing in these environments because I am really just following instructions.
