Ohh, haven't done that in forever. Now I miss making coffee this way. I guess I'll dust off my pot today, see if it still brews good.

Yea, I had to make a crontab task that resets lemmy every day. Hope it gets fixed in the future but for now it sorta works.

This may help: Container compatibility. MKV files will be remuxed when played via WebUI. Try playing an MP4 file and see if it's the same.

Yes, they are. I pre-measure the amount in the evening and in the morning, while the kettle is getting hot, I grind it and put it into a Phin (vietnamese coffee filter, you'd be surprised how good it is) well before the water's ready. While it takes its time to drip I cook up something quick to eat... and that's been my morning for the last few years :D

Manual grinders aren't bad, unless you go for the cheap ones. For example, my Comandante grinder has a steel conical burr, but most of the cheaper ones come with ceramic. The thing is, the thing's sharp, I could actually cut myself if I wasn't careful during cleaning, opposed to the ceramic burrs that are pretty blunt (from what I've heard, never had one). That makes grinding coffee a breeze (maybe 20-30secs for ~13grams for a cup of coffee), even on finer settings, also it introduces less dust, as it doesn't crush the beans but cuts them into fine bits. There are many models of manual grinders that come with great burrs, some of are of the Chinese make if price is an issue (1zpresso for example).

Flat burrs are an electric grinder thing. The mechanics of grinding with those is a little different than with conical ones, but the result is pretty much the same. Electric grinders can come with both conical or flat burrs. I've got an absolute overkill of a grinder meant for commercial use, bought used for around $300. The thing is a beast, takes less than 5secs for ~20g of coffee. I wouldn't suggest you get one (Mazzer Super Jolly FYI), just because of its size, but anything with that kind of build quality is likely gonna last you a literal lifetime. There are some more reasonably sized consumer electric grinders though, I heard Wilfa Svart is decent, some other might be fine as well.

I've got a whole 0.5kg bag of coffee for that much in Germany, and that'll last me almost a month (~25 cups). What's so good about Starbucks that it costs as much per cup?

So, "flies" from The Invincible? Microbots that pretty much conquered a planet, making it impossible for all life to exist on the planet's surface. There was no "obeying" them, only dying or leaving.

Dude that wrote that (in 1964 no less) must've been a time traveler. Computers back then barely started being miniaturized, there were no home PCs, no smartphones or actual nano tech to speak of. Only recently we've started building microbots and nano scale mechanisms.

That's not gold, it's just a heat sheet.

TBH as I see it, this could be a good thing, especially if those patches were go upstream. Lemmy could end up DOS hardened as fuck if this continues. Hopefully the attacker will eventually run out of attack vectors, although from what I'm seeing, this could take months, as it's been happening for a long time already.

I did just that a while ago. Seeing on my server what you've been seeing in yours I've just turned it off for a day or so, and when I turned it on just to be sure that I have to scrap it and start again, it started working just fine. So, I'd say, let it be, let it rest, come back to it later. Or I dunno, maybe it was just a fluke.

Just MusicBrainz and a general music folder. I either use a SMB share or Navidrome to listen to my library, depending what's most convenient. I've noticed that Lidarr generates huge traffic spikes when it fetches album info, rate limiting it on my Pi Hole, so I've stopped using it. I don't like the idea of automating downloading music anyway, I prefer to listen to it first then download if I like it.

Since I've started automating stuff I've got myself an Acurite wireless fridge and freezer thermometer (initially found out about it on Reddit, before it all went to shit and all). It both has a nice magnetic display and it transmits in 433MHz band, so a SDR dongle plugged into my Home Assistant machine can receive the temp readouts. So far it didn't prevent any disasters, but at least I know how hot it needs to get for the fridge to start having trouble keeping cool.
