eksasol: I made fermented cabbage for the first time and it tastes like beer.
What were the ingredients?

This sounds disgusting, but I "fermented" (pickled) whole fish I used to catch.

Scale them, cut off the fins and then rub with salt and chili powder.

Place in sterilised glass jar and wait about a month for the funkiness (sometimes the glass jars would explode from the gas).

It absolutely stinks and looks and sounds disgusting, but it's seriously tasty.

Think giant anchovies.

Kleetus: ...
It's reused juice from store bought organic sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar and himalayan salt and cabbage that I grows. It ferments really fast. I leave the jar cap loose so no chance of exploding, although the stuff does float to the top, I use a whole leaf to keep it down.

They'd love you in North Korea, sounds like their national dish.

It's true though, in Korea a similar pickled cabbage/vegetables dish is called Kimchi.

After updating to Firefox 52.0, fonts were awfully blurry - particularly here on the forum. After trying out different suggestions, I learned that Mozilla had changed the rendering from Cairo to Skia, which could quickly be corrected in about:config then. Glad I don't have to dump FF.

Can you explain how this is done, what lines to alter in about:config?

Of course. I'll quote from a post in this mozilla support article:

Firefox has changed from Cairo to Skia for font rendering.

You can modify these prefs on the about:config page to revert to the old font rendering.

gfx.canvas.azure.backends = direct2d1.1,cairo,skia
gfx.content.azure.backends = direct2d1.1,cairo,skia

That's what my about:config says without me having changed anything. So my fonts are rendered the old way? That's good then.

Have you updated to the current FF 52.0 then? For me the difference in font clarity was very obvious. But maybe that's dependent on what OS you're using too.

Yes, it says 'Firefox 52.0 (32-bit) Firefox is up-to-date'. My OS is Windows 10 Home Edition.

*edit: maybe it's because I'm running the Classic Theme Restorer add-on?

And it may be because I'm looking at it critically now, but my font seems a bit blurry as well, it's just that the supposed solution seems already in place yet still it looks blurry.
