  • Fresh tomatoes from a garden, or if you have a good local farmer slinging heirloom tomatoes are the best.

    Canned tomatoes are really close to this, and being shelf stable are pretty incredible because you can make delicious sauces any time.

    The “fresh” tomatoes that look like what you get on a burger at a fast food joint, or the Roma tomatoes that come sliced into wedges on that side salad at the diner you have literally never seen anyone eat are infinitely worse than canned tomatoes and honestly should be banned from using the word “tomatoes”

    Feels like those ones should be forced to market themselves as “tumatos” or “tomato-like fruit”




  • It’s a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won’t let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you’re trying to reach.

    Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other’s room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don’t have their room number.

    As long as one of you knows the other’s room number though, you can meet.

    Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).
