18350 tube P60 twisty setup that was basically as small as you could get a P60. I never did get a nice head for it though.

Also pictured: the neat case/diffuser/bezel remover that shipped with EDC Plus P60 dropins.

Taken around the block. False color IR image. Yes, I blew the reds waaaay up because I like how they burn my retinas.

This one is interesting. It's medium funky and my first cup is a little harsh, so maybe next time I'll try a cooler water temp or something. The fruit notes are interesting and seem pretty complex, there's a lot going on there.

It's a "night vision" mode in a ruggedized mil-spec phone, so I assume it's supposed to be tactical or some garbage. But if it worked in daylight it would be a legit feature for me. (I have no idea if that's the case.)

Also they could definitely sell units to the "ghost hunter" market, which is definitely a thing as I've bought a couple interesting 3D-printed IR lights targeted at them.

Trying to follow everything is, as always, tricky without the ability to really search for stuff on Mastodon.

1. Calckey, which was a fork of Misskey, rebranded as "Firefish" (for which name choice they have been widely mocked; also there's already a software company under that name in the UK with a trademark, which could be...interesting)
2. This also I think was meant to be the start of a push for more popular adoption of the platform, which has just generally led to a lot of buzz and attention
3. Apparently for some days the code was hosted on a far-right git host, which the main developer says they didn't know at the time; they eventually moved it somewhere else but didn't openly address the issue until later
4. Folks also noticed that the dev was boosting posts by someone with a reputation for being problematic/racist
5. .art admin removed the dev from a discord channel where instance admins share safety info, and says that subsequently the dev started circulating a fabricated screenshot regarding this.

Also, that is all coming a couple of days after someone who had previously contributed to calckey forked firefish as iceshrimp (lol) citing being erased from the list of contributors I think and also saying that other folks were leaving that community because of toxicity/safety issues that weren't really elaborated on in what I saw. I don't have a link for this because it didn't happen today and you can't search for things on Mastodon. My sense at the time was that I had basically no way to evaluate the claims made on either side.

From the creator:

What's the difference between a Natural and a Washed coffee? What makes coffee anaerobic? How is an Anaerobic Washed different from a regular standard Washed coffee?

During January through March 2021 I lived on a coffee farm in Kona, Hawai'i. Most of my job involved working with the baby plants in the nursery, but I also got to witness the tail end of harvest and learn about coffee processing firsthand.

I made this video to show the answers to the coffee questions above for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to see it in person.

Someone just announced their new instance (unilem.org) with the intent to federate with absolutely everyone, which is a pretty classic reason to defederate. I don't know of a Lemmy equivalent to Mastodon's #fediblock tag yet, what's the best way to surface this?

Truly ridiculous name.

Anyway, this may be of interest for those who are looking for a single-dosing "all-purpose" grinder in the sub-$500 segment. Most grinders in this space are regarded as either being good for either filter or espresso but not both, or else have a history of mechanical difficulties like the Varia VS3 and to a lesser extent the Lagom Mini.

Part of an ongoing project around flags in infrared.

Gear: Converted Canon RP, 15-30 RF lens, Kolari KV-FL1 flash.

My RF native kit to date has consisted of the 16mm f/2.8 and the 50mm f/1.8, plus sundry adapted lenses. While I'm extremely pleased with the performance of both those lenses, I did recently find that for landscape-y type scenes I was doing a bit more lens swapping than ideal.

So, after seeing that someone on flickr had some good IR results with the 15-30, I decided to give it a shot. (First time using a zoom lens in like a decade, I think.)

Initial impressions are that it's usable, but not ideal. There's a hotspot that kicks in at f/11-ish. It's somewhat dependent on the scene, so I suspect a lens hood might help (I have one on order.) Overall contrast is a little low, which is no big deal, and at the wide end, the edges can get a bit funky, which is not uncommon for IR.

(BTW, from what I could tell by trolling google, it looks like the 14-35 f/4 L has somewhat worse hotspot performance.)

Here's a hotspot comparison at f/8, 11, 16

Link to the actual routine

Not sure why Rowsell makes a big deal about the winner winning on "home brewing" gear. It's not like there are fancy ultra expensive drippers, and while the ZP6 is cheaper than the Comandante C40 (which, as I understand it, is a competition staple), it's not categorically different. (And through most of its short production lifespan, it's been harder to get than a C40, because it's usually out of stock.)

I imagine this may re-fan some of the hype around the ZP6. (By the way, if you're in North America, looks like [Rogue Wave(https://www.roguewavecoffee.ca/products/1zpresso-zp6-special) still has it.)

Search turns up a ton of groups where the string "tea" appears anywhere in the name (e.g., "team")
