I started this red miso (my first miso!) in November, 1000g cooked soybeans with 220g salt, not including the salt put on top. When I most recently inspected it, I saw a few concerning things. Near the top, on the edges, there are some white streaks/filaments/crystals/schmutz. You can see I have a ton of salt on top, and things seem pretty dry (no tamari, or at least the tamari has dried up or crystalized), so I would be surprised if this is mold.

But then when I look deeper down, I also see these occasional white spots, sometimes in the tiny tiny air pockets along the glass, sometimes solidly within the miso with no air nearby. Is this somehow mold growing deep within? Or is it salt crystals or some other feature forming? Am I boned? Can the miso be saved and if it can't, what did I do wrong?

I just recently started with Calibre koreader on a 10th gen Kindle. When I first added my books from Calibre to the koreader (running zen ui, if that matters), I didn't realize the metadata for the EPUBs and PDFs were bad on some of the books. But even after deleting the entire library folder on the koreader, fixing things in Calibre, and sending all the books back, somehow the previous (and bad) metadata is still there! How do I fix this?

Additionally, I have several book series, but when I go to look at my "series" in the library tab, the listed series aren't fully populated. I have to manually swipe through every page of my library, wait for the metadata for each book to load, then keep swiping before it works. Only after forcing everything to load manually will the "authors" and "series" sections reflect what's in the library. I don't have a million books, is there a way to just force everything to refresh and load?

Salt crystals... Or mold? 😬

How do I delete cached metadata from Calibre? How do I bypass lazy loading and force a Calibre metadata refresh?
