I agree, the CLI is good enough. Thanks for the note about the GUI package manager! I hadn’t heard about that.

I also second the positive interactions. Mine have been almost exclusively positive. I’ve come across a few no effort “RTFM, idiot” attitudes but it’s rarer on Nix forums and repos than I’ve seen elsewhere.

Tears of joy, no doubt

Thanks for the note on Ditaa. I didn’t know it existed but I love the idea of rendering bitmaps from ASCII, especially on the web. It’s like Mermaid but the original syntax is a diagram in and of itself!

Like the author writes:

There is a number of formats that are text-based (html, docbook, LaTeX, programming language comments), but when rendered by other software (browsers, interpreters, the javadoc tool etc), they can contain images as part of their content. If ditaa was intergrated with those tools (and I’m planning to do the javadoc bit myself soon), then you would have readable/editable diagrams within the text format itself, something that would make things much easier. ditaa syntax can currently be embedded to HTML.

Right, for a paper physics problem. Try telling someone to multiply their hand by -1.

Not exactly an espresso grinder, but I absolutely love my Baratza Virtuoso (not the plus). Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

No messing around, just a good looking, weighty, stainless appliance that does the job.

Can be had for cheap on ebay or similar. Tons of interchangeable parts and guides. Super easy to clean. Couldn’t ask for more. Well, maybe a single dose hopper just for fun.

The range is absolutely perfect for Aeropress/V60 up to cold brew. Maaaaaybe fine enough for espresso depending on your setup. Definitely worth the few extra bucks if you’re considering a Baratza Encore or similar.

The only thing I don’t like about this is the implication of a left hand rule for left hand threads, which makes my E&M physics brain sad

Oh that’s so cool! Thanks for the link.

When you say you host it live on Codeberg, do you mean something akin to GitHub pages? I didn’t know that existed

comin’ from one of those de-gens from up country, pick a fun name and sortyerselfout

I use this on my system! It’s been the only declarative flatpak mechanism I’ve gotten to work. Simple, easy to configure, and a descriptive systemd log. What more could you ask for

Comparing Switch Immersion vs Aeropress?

That’s a good question. Been a while since I’ve gone actually immersion brewed with it (usually just pour over and use the stopper for pre heating with less water). I’ll make a couple of cups and get back to you.

Edit:

Cup making done! The immersion brew is super clean and easy. I do think some type of lid would help for longer brew times to keep the heat in on the Switch though.

I think both the Aeropress and Switch Immersion lend themselves well to darker (chocolatier/nuttier) extractions. After this little test I will probably switch over to immersion brewing for my afternoon decaf for the foreseeable future!

It’s mostly Mastodon. (Shoutout to @[email protected] for posting the link to FediDB)

asking the real questions

Can’t say enough good things about mine.

If I would start all over, the only two coffee makers I would own are:

• Aeropress
• Size 03 Hario Switch (V60 + a stopper for immersion brew)

A firejail doesn’t hurt either ;)

I prefer Syncthing-fork for some more straightforward configuration. Mainly the three button options equating to “follow the run conditions, damnit”, “run damnit”, and “stop damnit”

If you want a device to do NFC payments you’ll need to look somewhere other than GrapheneOS. (Believe me, I’ve tried everything)

Coarse Salt. Add just enough water to move it around + a little dish soap and shake. Works like a charm.
