Thanks. I am aware of the Hoffmann’s on/off method and I do use it to slow down flow while the coffee is coming out.

For these beans though, simply dimming down the flame seems to be enough, since I compact the beans a bit by hitting the funnel on the counter.

About compacting;

In my experience, compacting does make great coffee if you got a light roast and need high extraction without touching the grind size much. It works good if you are expecting full bodied coffee from your beans, but I would say for most beans compacting is a no go.

And if you accidentally compact too much your moka pot will not be able to push water through it and your coffee will be wasted (ask me how I know…)

I use a Surface Pro 9, I bought it new specifically to install Linux on it.

Uninstalled Windows 11 one hour after it’s first bootup and installed Fedora on it, and I am pretty sure most of it’s problems are caused by Windows. On Linux, it is stone cold and dead silent when I am browsing the web, editing text, programming etc. I get about 6 hours of freedom when I got VSCodium and some browser windows open.

For sub 5 minute multicore workloads, the metal case eats all that heat up fairly quickly and I can say the device has very good thermal design. Though it does heat up to “hurts to touch” temperatures when I got hour long heavy workloads like compiling the linux kernel, I did expect that because it is an Intel after all.

I don’t really mind overheating since I don’t hold the device in my hands when I am compiling a giant project, what matters is that it doesn’t heat up in my hands when I am watching movies and stuff.

Plus; my favourite desktop GNOME is wonderful on touchscreens, I love their HIG, it is so comfortable. I can’t imagine the poor souls having to navigate Windows UI on a touchscreen.

Update

I ground my coffee at the 1.5.2 setting. Seems to be the sweet spot for the beans I got. The result is beautiful coffee with a strong body and a bit of very pleasant acidity in the background.

I also tamped it by hitting the funnel on the kitchen counter repeatedly and started with room temperature water.

Thanks everyone!

Well I already grind very fine (coarse espresso grind!), and going finer results in even more acidity from what I found. It is probably channeling. I may be confusing bitterness with acidity but I doubt it since it just tastes like lemon.

I increased my grind size from 0.9 to 1.5 after reading some threads on the net and from what I remember 1.5 yielded better results. But it was still very acidic and lemony.

I don’t think it is the beans. I specifically requested full bodied/low acidity beans and drank a cortado made from the same beans in that cafe. It was delicious and visibly less acidic compared to your average light roast.

I just did.

I will block (or discourage) writing on timing bits and stuff and limit writes on format bits. It seems that I need to implement my own QR functions to properly check every feature manually

I am also in the process of manually calculating a QR code and drawing it on paper to understand the format better. (pretty fun activity ngl)

Btw the thing I am building is an app that would help manually create qr code art.

RGB is not feasible because the aim of the app is to be a monochrome first QR art creator.

shouldn’t it be head -c 16 /dev/random | wall

Won’t laptop manufacturers need to get CPU manufacturers to produce socketed mobile CPUs again?

I don’t think that would be very profitable. Spending lots of money negotiating with the CPU company just for a very small fraction of customers.

okay here me out:

Pipewire is one of the best pieces of software I used. It has a cool ass patchbay and unlike PulseAudio I’ve never had it crash on me. It is the best thing that happened to Linux audio

I was blown away when I connected my phone to my PC through Bluetooth and phone audio started playing through my PC. It just worked without me touching anything

I also really like how “Linux Studio Plugins” are standalone apps that you can run. I don’t produce music or anything but I still use stuff like equalizers and spectrum analyzers. It is insane how flexible the “each app has inputs and outputs you can hook together” architecture is.

PulseAudio probably also had some of these features but I never used those because pulse would fall apart every time I touched it. Pipewire doesn’t

Broken Linux audio is about to become old news

The buzzwords make my head hurt. Sounds like a copypasta

IT’S DIFFERENT M’KAY

I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.

It is called “a computer”

Maybe “PC”

“box” if you really have to flex that UNIX

They should treat their computers less like a sports car and more like a van

Oh I completely forgot about this

I was halfway through designing a fake CDE-styled login page, then I failed to fit it in mobile browsers and then I got distracted.

The file is still sitting there https://aesistril.com/login.html

So initially, this login.html was the homepage and home.html was to be reached by clicking a button on this page.

When I scratched the login page idea, I just renamed index.html -> login.html and then linked home.html -> index.html

Well I could’ve just renamed home.html but I am way too UNIX-headed for that. Lets say its a symbolic link so I could change the homepage easily in the future

If you want something boring, use a static site generator like Hugo. But you already said you found them restrictive

I built my previous site with Ruby Mustache, an extremely simple templating thing. But I abandoned it because it got hard to maintain.

My current site is plain HTML and CSS. This is the way if you want ultimate customizability. It works pretty good and I would recommend it. Simpler is better.

Remember: Having a website was one of the ways people communicated on the net back in the day. HTML and CSS are intended to be used by regular people, they are very easy to learn. Don’t be scared of them

There is no decent WYSIWYG html editor i know of

Imperative stoneagers getting an old MacBook from somewhere and going “huh, I guess its UNIX” is probably true though

That would happen a lot less if they just used the LiDAR + camera combo like a sane person

But who am I to judge? el*n certainly knows better riiiiigghhht?

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Software should be maintained, not built and forgotten about. Windows encourages the latter, which is just straight up bad practice
