LIVE Baking Seminar

We in here

Welcome To LIVE Baking Classes in the Q Research Utility Kitchen

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We are the bakers who provide the breads for those anons who post Qresearch's open-sourced information, reasoned argument, and dank memes. We do battle in the sphere of baking ideas and baking ideas only. We neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here.

INTRO TO BAKING

Qresearch is a 24/7 beehive of activity where anons post their diggs, memes and prayers.

For this to happen requires ''bakers''–which is why they have been called "the core of this board."

Bakers perform several key functions:

* Set the tone for each bread via their choice of bread title and /comms/ with posters.

* Post notables for each bread.

* Bake breads (transition the board from one thread to the next).

* Knead the dough (keeping the resource pages clean, tidy, and up-to-date).

When all goes well, baking is a fun & exciting opportunity to serve. When things get wonky and shills attack–bakers carry on anyway.

Shadilay, fellow bakers!

Baking FAQs

Version 1.6

For step-by-step baking instructions, see page one of current baking seminar dough; baking section of /qresearch/ dough will also have a link. Link to Class #15: 14290

TWO MOST IMPORTANT FAQs:

1. There is no baking mistake that can't be fixed. 2. Never panic, never tap.

Generally

What hardware/software is needed in order to bake?

Laptop or desktop (phonefagging hard for newbies & tablets lack power). The bigger the screen, the better. Text editor like Notepad++ (for PCs) or Atom (for Macs).

What other skills are good for a baker?

Patience, persistence, high tolerance for criticism, ability to say no to shills. Good enough typing to more or less keep up the pace.

What shift is good for a new baker?

A slow shift like late night to early morning (also, Q seldom posts then). If you take a faster shift, just tell anons you're new and you'll get support.

Bakers Tools

This is an independent tool that anyone can use, but you don't need it to bake.

Baking in TOR

TOR doesn't allow images but does allow embedded YT vids; use for General (Iwo Jima) image. There's usually a TOR vid in "Baking" section of the /qresearch/ dough.

Don't change previous baker's notables

Possible exceptions: bad links, spelling errors, when they give specific permission.

Baking everyday vs every so often

Whether you can bake a little or a lot, help is always welcome in the kitchen.

How to reduce baking stress

Practice first, develop routines, be prepared, stay calm, don't fixate on mistakes.

The Dough

The dough = first 4-5 posts/pages in each bread. Each post in one document separated by /////BREAK\\\ markers.

Organization

post 1 - Q posts, post 2 - Notables, post 3 - War Room, post 4 - QPosts Archives. Notables page can be broken into two pages on the fly if notable buns are long (even tho there's no BREAK marker).

Dough problems & change requests

New bakers sometimes inherit a funny-looking dough or are asked by anons to make dough changes. If you're not sure what to do, say so and defer to next baker. Often, bakers in the thread will jump in to help.

Practice Baking

You can practice bake in /comms/, established in 2018 by BO Rusty. After getting down the basic steps, try shadow baking (following a real bake to get the timing down).

Green text

In /comms/ practice bakes using Q Research doughs, links don't work and text is green.

Q&A & getting feedback

Practice bakers can ask q's by posting in the baking seminar thread or baker's Meta thread in /comms/.

Pastebin.com

What is pastebin.com?

An app/site that stores the dough so bakers can transfer it to next baker.

Do I need an account to use pastebin.com?

No, anyone can use it as a GUEST. You can also (optionally) add a pastebin name to identify your acct to anons.

How to make a new pastebin

Copy entire dough from text editor, upload to pastebin.com, select New Paste, paste in dough, select Create New Paste at bottom. See step-by-step instructions for more.

Notables

How to tell what is notable?

A few ideas: look for anon noms, Q decodes, POTUS tweets/retweets, planefag/boatfag reports, relevant news items (for breaking news, check qresear.ch to avoid dups).

Usually, memes are not notabled. Unsauced tweets & articles must be sauced first (quality matters).

How to format notables list?

Formats vary, but best to use bold orred text. Examples: 'Early notables', 'Notables @200', 'Notables #11956 @300'. ''Always link to dough post if ghosting after posting''.

How often do you post notables?

Often enough to give anons multiple chances to have their say about notable selection, some ideas:

* 200, 400, 600 (plus a FINAL) or * 250, 500, Last Call around 640 (plus a FINAL).

If you take the bake late: Post notes as soon as you catch up or by @600 at the latest (so anons know you're still there).

Max number of breads in Previously Collected Notables?

4 - 5 lines. To make room, just delete the bottom line(s).

Timing Issues

What do I do after accepting the handoff?

Most bakers start by finding/copying pastebin (check Dough post first); prepping Create a Thread; and doing a quick dough check to make sure everything is ok. Then start collecting notables. Later, bakers will need to check bread title (update?), check notables page (more room needed?), and transfer notables from text editor to dough.

When to post a final notables list?

Depends on bread speed but usually around 680 - 710.

How to keep up with notables during fast breads?

Depends how fast. When Q posts, priority is on grabbing Q drops, not notes. During fast non-Q breads, focus on skimming off the 'cream' and leaving the rest. Always try to include noms but only if they're high quality (from anons not shills). Practice makes perfect.

How long does a New Thread take to show up after I select Create a Thread?

30 - 60 seconds unless there's a severe lag. If lag is bad, let anons know and ask them to wait for new thread.

Handoffs & Baker Comms

Good /comms/ are critical for well-baked breads, so need to be clear & easy to find.

Showing baker or note-taker changes

Easy to forget but useful to showing who's responsible for which notables. Insert "baker change" or "note-taker" at the point when the change occurs when recording notables.

Handoffs: call-and-response protocol

Baker announces he seeks handoff; available baker(s) announce they can bake; baker usually takes the first in line.

Example: B1:baker seeks handoff', B2:can bake, B1:handoff confirmed?, B2:confirmed, bread is mine

When shill activity is high, baker may be asked to produce a recent pastebin or other proof that he's legit.

Ghost bake protocols - ALWAYS TAG THE DOUGH POST!

When baker can't get a replacement, he may have to ghost the bread (leave it bakerless).

Example: B1:baker seeks handoff; will ghost @100, [no response], B1:baker leaving the kitchenghost bake

When another baker picks up the ghost:baker assuming responsibility.

Don't forget to TAG THE DOUGH POST so bakers arriving after @600 will know there's a baker (avoids dup bakes).

When there is more than one baker per bread

Two things to note:

1. Ordering of notables (can be more or less "top to bottom" or "bottom to top"): Either use the same order as first baker or change his to match yours; try not to mix them.

2. Use "baker change" to separate your work from first baker's. Don't treat first baker's notables like suggestions, respect them as if they are PB notables.

Making Reports and Global Reports

To report to BO/BVs, find little triangle on upper left of each post, select it, then use menu.

Use Report to ask BO to make bread changes that bakers can't make, e.g. changing a wrong bread number. You may need to do it more than once (or twice).

Use Global Reports for child porn (CP) or other illegal material. Someone is on-duty 24 hours.

Duplicate bakes

Use Report to ask for moldy bread to be locked and provide a link to 'good' bread.

Baking

See step-by-step instructions on page 1 of class dough. E-BAKE steps are there too.

To bake each page….

Divide bread into 4 posts by looking for /////BREAK\\\ markers. (For two-page notables, do it on-the-fly for page 2).

How to bake when the Catalog is down?

Use the Index (8kun.top/qresearch/index.html). You can Create a Thread there. Afterwards, locate your new thread this way: go past the pinned threads and the old thread; the new one is usually right after it. To "enter" that thread, click on the OP post number. (Allow at least 30 secs for new thread to appear.)

Baking Error Messages

Body too long

Happens when there are too many characters per post (maybe 5000) or too many lines (maybe 200). This seems to vary but gives you an idea).

Flood detected

Happens if you already posted same exact text (most common–if so, add a space somewhere). Can also happen during DDOS or when too many anons post at once.

Server took too long

Usual server response for /qresearch/ bakes (95% of bakes). Solution: WAIT AT LEAST 30-60 secs, then check the Catalog (should post despite the message).

Can be confusing for first-time bakers because this lag doesn't happen in /comms/.

SEE ALSO Crazy bakes >>9960

Common Mistakes

Don't be afraid to make mistakes - all bakers make 'em (get used to it newbies!). Easy-to-make mistakes:

* Incomplete copypasta (not grabbing ALL the dough when baking for each post, so that top or bottom isn't there)

* Screwing up content or formatting for bread title (use Report to have BO/BVs correct).

* Not tagging the dough post in comms like handoffs, picking up a ghost bake or posting notes in a ghost bake

* Forgetting to use BOLD andred textfor handoffs, Notables posts, and other important comms

* Confusing "Create a Thread" in the Catalog with "Post a Reply" within a bread. (Avoid this by putting Create a Thread tab far away from tab with current bread.)

* Accidentally pressing Create a Thread before end of bread

(Solution: report premature thread to BO/BVs, post a link back to real bread, post an alert & apology to anons, then forget it & return to bake).

* Dough errors (Solution: generate new dough & post pastebin link in the bread. First-time bakers: just leave a message for next baker on the problem.)

Q Bakes & Other Fast Breads

Generally: When Q posts, drop everything and get to bottom of bread to pick up Q drops and put them in the dough. Pick up notes from there if you can. Bake EARLY - @630 is not uncommon.

Formatting Q drops & LINES

Check existing Q drops to see formatting; copy-pasta the LINES, don't try to do them yourself.

Cap for baker

Anons will usually post them for you. Search with F3 on the link or 'cap for baker'.

POTUS rally breads

These can be pretty speedy; bake early so anons have a place to post rally comments.

Dealing with Shills

Shills want a bread full of squabbling anons so that anons withdraw and good digs are overlooked. Just the presence of a baker deters them.

SEE ALSO "How To Quickly Spot A Clown" (last line of page 1 in /qr/ dough).

Telling anons from shills

Baker: "you can tell when a reasonable accommodation does not mollify." Posters who kvetch no matter what are shills, not anons.

Responding to shill tactics

Shills always test bakers, pressuring them on notables, dough changes, etc. If being reasonable does not work (see above), make a decision and stand firm with it.

Common shill tactics for screwing with bakers

Purposely leaving out dates on moldy notables; nomming a list of notables at end of bred; nomming hard-to-evaluate Q decodes w/no main point or title; including no sauce or crap sauce; burying bad stuff in the middle of a post (muh joos, etc), moaning about pb notables/asking for changes.

Anons do some of these things too but shills are more obvious about it.

Ways to respond when you're sure it's a shill:

* Generic shilling/spam: Generally ignore.

* When shills demand something: Respond calmly, with humor and facts, try funny memes to diffuse an attack (Left still can't meme).

Memes also tend to end the conversation. See Baker Tips for examples of how to outlaugh a shill.

* For a personal attack targeting you: If it's major, don't take that shit, fight back, it's war. Make the shill POS sorry he ever took you on with a powerful and meticulously documented, fact-based counterattack. Screencap the evidence. Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold.

Welcome!

This week we'll focus on notables and baker tips & tricks.

Added in the posts for using q-bin for pastes to the baking steps.

Anybody here yet?

BTW, I posted the Baking FAQs a coupla of weeks ago. Any new bakers or note collectors have any questions on those?

>>18312

Playing catchup

Was on late last night & early am, then sleep

did manage to hear about Maxwell arrest tho

sweet

Any newcomers peekin' in?

Coupla anons said they were interested in baking this week.

>>18318

i peeked into their new thread just now

what stuff does WR want changed?

What's the flood detected, second captcha about?

>>18321

We got bakers here

Can talk about notes etc

No worries

Come back if ya get a handoff

o7

>>18320

Welcome anon, you don't need to be high-tech to bake. I know coz i didn't know that much when i started (espec about the chans).

Do you have a regular computer (lap or desk)? If so, Mac or PC?

Any other newbies here?

>>18330

no problems, we be good.

>>18333

Everybody's doing way too much at the moment. For some reason, a lot of the part-timers seem to be….very part-time.

But that happens periodically around here.

If there are enough ghosts - and attendent difficulties - i imagine we'll have some new bakers step up coz they don't like the alternative. That's how I began.

I think I'm gonna do basic baking steps using just the slides for the benefit of our new arrival. That's a little easier for a last-minute scenario. If any lurking new bakers have questions, just ask.

But since we were gonna focus on notables, if there are anons here specifically looking for that, please ask questions, there's a lot of expertise in the room.

>>18337

Thanks. That's pretty straightforward.

The first thing to do when you start to bake is downloanding the "basic image" and finding the current dough.

finding the current dough.

So here is where we begin - at step 1.

>>18341

yeah, we got a lot of hay these days, ha-ha.

Good to see you Rusty, welcome.

>>18340

Once you download the General Image and locate the dough, you put it in to a browser window. It will open in either pastebin.com or qanonbin.com.

Bakers are now switching to qanonbin.com but both are similar in the way they work.

>>18347

Next you paste the dough into a text editor.

Notepad++ is usually the best choice on a PC.

(you can actually do it all online but I'm just gonna show you the Notepad++ approach coz that's pretty standard for most bakers).

>>18337

So to review to this point:

You should now have copied the current paste from previous baker into your text editor, where you can make changes such as adding new notables or Q posts.

Any questions so far?

>>18337

At this point, you can just start collecting notables. That will take up most of the time during the bread.

But at some point you'll need to do two more things:

1. make room for your new notables in the dough

2. prep the thread for the next bread.

The next few slides will explain how that works.

>>18356

sorry, i missed them.

Don't worry about being "slow."

Not a problem

Do you know how to find notepad++?

I think it should actually be included as part of Windows 10. But if not, "download notepad" will get it for you.

>>18361

*download notepad++

>>18346

>catalog page

don't need to go to catalog for General Image

you can screenshot the one i just displayed.

do you know how to screenshot an image?

>>18358

Re MS-Word:

The reason we use a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++ instead of MS-Word is that Word adds unwanted formatting and everything we do when we bake is pretty "plain text."

>>18356

see >>18370

for q's about MS-word

>>18358

sorry doc, got my wires cross

>>18372

My nerves were so bad that veli literally pushed me into baking the first time.

>>18367

>Screenshoting

Just in case, here are instructions for using paint to screenshot. Paint should already be on your computer.

>>18377

crazy bakerman……

>>18386

yeah, i used to use "clone" and somehow ended up making a double dough a couple of times. didn't stop to figure out why, just switched to "raw" and never looked back.

>>18388

Note taking never made me nervous

it was always about coordinating everything and

timing the baking

especially after @600

Would really like to find a way to just promote note collector (you know like the Baker's Assist idea) for other anons who find note-taking ok but baking a little too much (at least when they start).

>>18356

You still with us, anon?

If there are terms you don't understand, just ask.

>>18389

So no notables were taken and nobody went back for them up til now?

Yes, that would be worthwhile.

You can just collect 'em and post in the current thread.

(Does ResignationAnon index those threads in qresear.ch, btw?)

>>18405

i'm generally old school in my approach to linear directions. like to slow down the process so i understand (and remember) the logic.

do the same on my website. created it with very basic html and css using tables.

very old fashioned approach but has the merit of showing every little detail so if i don't make charges for a year, i can reconstruct how to do everything by looking at the code. No shortcuts, everything is there.

>>18406

I think there is definitely a benefit is the Baker's Assist approach to baking for many anons, despite the problems caused when it was proposed initially. Even 8bit didn't "get it" when proposed and once he did, said he really wasn't again it.

Note collecting is good EITHER as a first step to baking OR as a job in and of itself. Because even "just" taking notes is a big job. It should not be regarded imo as something "less than" given all the skills it requires to do it well.

>>18407

Yes, baker shortages come and go. And other anons like yourself become motivated to take up the slack. I always like to go back for missed notables. Both because the material is valuable but also out of respect for the work that went into generating the posts.

>>18413

*against

>>18412

>>18412

Shills can now have fun trying to start fights between "copypasta" and "clone" bakers

They'll try anything!

ha-ha-ha….

ANONS

Substitute teacher left off at Step 3 in baking.

Are there new bakers or lurqers waiting to proceed to Step 4?

>>18419

Graveyard has lots of "baking opportunities" at the moment, kek. Espec for those in Europe or Asia who are actually wide awake then. It's definitely a nice pace and not even too slow anymore - tons of news, i do stay busy when baking then. But not too busy, it's pretty sane.

One thing to know:

if you are a new baker baking gy, usually there are no other bakers around. So sometimes things happen you don't know how to deal with. Rule no 1: "if in doubt, DEFER."

Recently, an anon requested a dough change to new baker at time and new baker wasn't sure what to do. If that happens, simply pass the link along to a more experienced morning baker to make any needed changes. (New bakers are not expected to be 'dough experts'.) If anon objects - and this one did - just tell them they have to wait. If they bitch about that, that's on them not you.

>>18422

So you're gonna stay up for late gy doc?

(Isn't your mind a puzzle of goo by then, after baking all day long?)

Just joshing ya, friend…..

>>18432

>wait on UK bred

Sounds good.

You can also use the steps in the dough to practice bake. They are pretty standalone. Have you tried practice baking before?

>>18435

Yes - and I've sometimes been picking up from him or from his ghost - and then ghosting after a couple of breads coz no bakers are around. You saw this morning - I baked 2 then ghosted and you picked up the ghost. Wish i could get anons to collect notes but it just becomes like nagging to ask. They already know the score, their decision what to do.

or sometimes picking up from me. which is kind of weird, ha-ha. usually, there are bakers that bake between early gy and morning shift. be NB has been baking evenings til around 12 am ET, I've been baking the shift doc used to take then napping then picking up the very late bake just before yours. It's ok but means lotsa of ghost stuff in between.

That's how the pastebin with a lot of notables got missed (was that this am?) - because note takers who pick up ghosts don't pick up the updated pastebins containing notables from ghosted breads. They just list notes and incoming baker doesn't realize there's an updated pastebin. (Boy how I wish i could EDIT the dough paste so it would have the update.)

>>18447

The thread that's currently listed for meme ops was started bc WR fags were giving trouble, as you will no doubt recall.

But WR fags sort of took over the new thread anyways - there are a bunch of posts on that within that thread. As far as i know, there are two groups currently doing meme ops: WR fags and others not centered on qanonresearch endchan/gerbil.

But do they actually work together? Haven't been tracking closely enough to know. Don't want to screw the 8kun "loyalists" (who are doing meme warfare but not strongly aligned with gerbil) just because gerbil et al are so dominant.

That's the reservation i would have about saying yes to WR demands - they are so pushy. Assuming there remain two separate meme corps factions (if that is the right word), would want to hear from those anons NOT centered around endchan ops.

>>18434

Gerbil is always pushing the issue

that's the problem

Doesn't play well with others

Never did - it's always his way or the highway

>>18438

It's true that if there are no bakers around, SOMEBODY will do something to try to make things right. The reason it's good to avoid that when possible, tho, is that the mess that gets created can take hours to set aright.

If that happens, it happens. Not a catastrophe but definitely prefer things to run smoothly rather than spending a lot of time on mop-up ops. With me, the time doesn't matter but it means i'm using my physical faculties (which unfortunately are somewhat limited) to do that stuff when I could be doing something more constructive.

>>18475

Gerbil always wants something special, distinctive. Thinks WR is 'better than.'

Sigh.

Don't want a fight with him or those who gather around him but there's a point at which WR has to toe the line - to realize that he is part of a larger effort. Not just bc of some stupid power struggle thing but bc that attitude of entitlement / superiority is about self-aggrandizement not service. Wrong attitude leads to wrong results, even when done with great enthusiasm.

>>18475

>if he wants a diff place it's not QR WR anymore

Hit the nail right on the head.

>>18478

AHH CAPS LOCK! QUICK, DO AS HE SAYS

EEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!

>>18479

i nik em all, too.

not a problem - the moar the merrier.

>>18482

usually a "practice bake" is done on comms, where practice baker shadows a /qr/ bake to get down the timing, etc.

but if it's slow enough and no one else steps up, you could try a LIVE bake on gy. Why not? If you screw up the dough, the next experienced baker will make corrections. No worse than when an anon does an e-bake so nothing to lose.

Just tell anons you're new so they can offer support and protect from nasty shills with their 'comp'd baker' routine when they see a comma out of place in the new dough.

>>18483

I do not know for sure that it's gerbil's thing.

Would have to do some moar research

but based on everything we know - and which i know personally about gerbil, who was my 'boss' on endchan for several weeks in Sept when i BV's and baked for him during 8 hiatus - who else would it be?

Who are the anons that are doing meme warfare that aren't endchan guys? I know they're around bc one of them started the thread in April or early May that was supposed to be QResearch-oriented (not endchan-oriented). Wish we could discern who they are and how they are currently working.

>>18503

>Bonez I better not see you.

Don't hold yer breath, bro.

Sleep well, o7.

>>18493

my FAVORITES folder - by far the largest - is 1.25 gigs.

Also have one organized by time that has images for current digs

Plus MEMES folder (stuff I admire but probably won't post) and PEPE folder.

>>18504

So you are enjoying your new setup?

>>18491

The result of many interactions over time. Having an unbalanced person as an ally is tricky. They can be driven and thus highly productive. But can go off the rails too - like the time gerbil wanted anons to set up a gofundme for some project he liked in Oct, which is when i decided i had to get outta there and did. Now that Q has focused on meme warfare, he may feel like his time has come. Yes, in a sense. But doesn't mean that meme warfare - and in particular his approach to it - should override everything else. Anyone who pushes hard for quick change had better have a damn good reason for it.

>>18513

hmmm….looking at the phrase

"Well trained WR Anons"

wtf?

who's training these 'warriors'?

and according to whose values?

sounds like an independent 'army'

Re Tripcodes:

To the extent gerbil is in these discussion, he is definitely anti-namefagging - which is why i presume he won't allow unique id's on his board

EXCEPT

for himself and bakers (at least when i was there).

In which case he INSISTED that bakers namefag with tripcodes so dough wouldn't get comp'd (paranoid).

Like that was possible - he didn't allow us bakers to touch the dough, all we did was collect notes and bake the weird doughs created totally by him. Didn't look anything like /qresearch/ doughs, just take a look at them sometime.

>>18517

Appreciate all the work you put in.

when you shadow bake on /comms/ the links are always green

from the FAQs in this thread's dough:

Practice Baking

You can practice bake in /comms/, established in 2018 by BO Rusty. After getting down the basic steps, try shadow baking (following a real bake to get the timing down).

Green text

In /comms/ practice bakes using Q Research doughs, links don't work and text is green.

>>18526

Same deal as with /qr/ links

When you list a link from another board here on comms, it's dead (green) unless you expand the format.

For example, when listing q posts on /qrb/ board, you have to convert them. Take a look:

https://8kun.top/qrb/res/42541.html

Here's how you do it:

>>17884 Linking between Boards

>>18515

>let's rebuilt the wheel

well-said, kek.

>>18533

did you see how baker did it in /qrb/?

if you have a lot of posts to convert (so they are LIVE), just use search-and-replace function in notepad++.

>>18528

I like the "i've been here since Q started posting" even better

pretty funny for those who have been around since….well, earlier than that!!

>Respect

yes, everyone has talents here

mutual respect makes the place work

wo/it, we're all just Q fans jockeying for position

what a waste

>>18530

yep!

>>18539

does notepad++ exist in Win7?

doesn't really matter, notepad will work fine

just doesn't allow you to have more than one file open at a time. minor inconvenience.

BUT

notepad++ is apparently compatible with Win7, see cap.

>>18542

beat me to it….

>>18539

As long as you've got sufficient RAM and the computer still works ok, seems like you can bake with it. (probably doesn't require that much ram either by modern standards)

If you go thru the baking steps and produce a bred, post a link on this thread and one or more bakers (probably several) will give you feedback. We check in here all the time.

Obviously there's a lot of material you can read as well. But it's easier to digest once you've actually done a little baking.

Do you have any other questions?

>>18547

if you copy-paste directly from a dough instead of downloading it from pastebin or qanonbin, you will get that double-spacing. If you goes thru steps 1-3 (from earlier in this thread), you should have a copy in notepad that looks right (no double spacing).

>>18549

Good to have diverse ideas

Bad to push particular ideas over others and demand that they be implemented immediately

The mark of an immature mind imo.

>>18552

baby steps.

Good mockup, looks bread-like.

But to get it right, follow the baking steps.

Can be annoying at first (many little details) but will generate a real bread if you follow them closely.

And once you get the hang of it, it's no longer annoying but enjoyable (at least, most of the time).

>>18557

I once took a class on computer systems

Teacher said the most important thing

was to keep using the old system firmly in place while beta-testing the new one.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

(But how many companies ever do that?)

Sensible systemizing signals smooth sailing

>>18562

hmmm……

do we get to figure out what the list signifies??

>>18289

Anybody else having trouble posting? I had to come in thru the BV backdoor.

>>18604

right.

too many loli breads.

eventually i baked a bread.

>>18611

changed that link back when i baked.

discussed the problem in comms, need to resolve.

Look, board has been under severe attack, bakers are exhausted - including me - so don't take stuff personally. Just help if you can. Whoever is posting.

>>18321

Hey Teach

is it actually you who's got into some kind of tiff with doc re handoffs or someone saying they are you? So much confusion today. There's a coupla posts on other thread if this does not sound familiar.

Take it easy, baker fren.

>>18691

Posters who show up using TOR

attacking bakers for NAMEFAGGING

in a thread where we ENCOURAGE it for good comms —

You don't belong here

Have an issue? Take it to baker's META

And have the balls to use clearnet not TOR.

I don't know enough about archiving to make intelligent comments on your proposal but auto archiving does sound like a fine idea.

Question:

is it possible to archive in a way that makes it possible to play mp4's contained within the archive?

>>18761

kb will do, see bakers meta thread

Here's some of the suggestions for stuff to talk about re "10 most common mistakes by new bakers" in no particular order:

• using curly quotes from word processing programs for formatting

• copying the page breaks into the dough

• not tagging the dough post when picking up a bake (ghost bakes)

• forgetting to post a bun link

• not changing the bread number after the first bake (so that you accidentally re-use it)

• not reading prior breads before baking to understand what the shit is

• omitting the Holy Colon in the bred title

• title with wrong bread number

• weird spacing in notables page (too few or too many spaces)

• not reading prior notables ("clueless baker syndrome")

• not checking qresear.ch to see whether something's notabled already

• baking from ego not service (how can this be remedied?)

• not updating bread number in Create a Thread

• trying to hide being new (never works, better to announce it, anons will help)

• letting either shills or pushy anons bully you into doing or not doing stuff (if not sure, defer to more experienced baker - ANYTHING can wait)

notables:

• "kitchen sink" notables (trying to get every. single. note.

• long wordy article titles (most can be cut down)

• "uber zen" notables (cryptic one or two word descriptions that don't help)

just a few ideas, add yours too……..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this is next class topic

REMINDER:

Another class topic (add your ideas plz)

"10 things not to worry about when you're a new baker":

• making dough changes or complex corrections (just leave message for next baker if no oldfags are around)

• making mistakes (cardinal rule)

• avoiding shill attacks (impossible, it's not personal - if you bake you get attacked)

• avoiding anon attacks (some dumbfuck anons can also try to take advantage - just say 'back off' - if they don't treat em like a shill)

• "kitchen fuckery" (it's not that it doesn't happen but you don't have to worry about it - there are many eyez in the kitch….)

• doing Q bakes all alone (bakers and anons will provide all kind of support–caps, formatting q drops, notables, posts alerting you that Q is on the board, etc - handoffs too)

• doing everything NOW like there's no more breads coming in the future ("manana" is a great slogan for new bakers….)
