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.

I assume OP was using an unmodified camera. The hot mirrors (IR blocking filters) built into modern cameras are extremely efficient, so it takes a lot of exposure to get an image past them.

I got mine recently and have been playing a little bit of a lot of different stuff, but the thing I've put the most hours into has been Midnight Suns. I did not expect a Marvel game to my new favorite turn-based tactics deckbuilder, lol.

The stupid open world collectible part blows chunks, but the actual core gameplay is shockingly fun, if not perfectly tuned the way some deckbuilders are. The extremely weird lightweight high school dating sim / bioware relationship management aspect is very odd but produces some extremely funny interactions at times.

Cross-posting is actually pretty easy on Lemmy! (Won't work on specific comments, but it's easy to cross-post the whole thread)

I did see that and it looks cool, but is it actually a tented PCB, or is the tent part of the keycap sculpt?

I wish someone would make a nice tented unisplit like this with an actual ergo layout.

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.

First off, if the coffee tastes good, you don't need to worry about hitting a certain time just to do it. But if you do want to:

I don't have this kind of machine, but I know that most folks say that single baskets are inherently difficult to work with, and you should just a double instead. That's not to say you shouldn't use the single, but maybe look for some single-basket tutorials that might have specific advice?

In terms of slowing down your shots, other than grinding finer, you can also increase your dose within a given basket.

Also, if your GCP is stock, then it might be worth doing the overpressure valve mod. By default, those machines have a really high pump pressure, and replacing OPV spring with a 9 bar or lower one is a very common mod for the GCP.

Unsurprisingly given its extremely high profile as a purveyor of transphobic coverage, many mastodon instances have greeted them with a firm block. (If this confuses folks who don't pay attention to this sort of thing, just picture in your head if it was fox news.)

It's pretty widely known and has been an issue for a long time. It's not terribly hard to google for.

[–] kukkurovaca@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The question is, if there are instances that are full of transphobic content, and they're reported, does firefish defederate them. If they do, the view will improve. Although, global feeds are never very useful.

They serve vastly different purposes. Lemmy would be a terrible place for people to chat about how their days are going, which is a key part of what microblogging platforms provide to be honest. And conversely, for structured conversations focused on specific topics, Lemmy has obvious advantages.

Beyond the basic structure, there are cultural issues with both that make them a bit tenuous for me.

The actual issue is, that as an instance admin who had previously been in the loop for some time with #fediblock and other channels in which admins share this kind of info, folks expected him to already have disqordia blocked.

Also, it seems from his posts elsewhere that he actually was aware and didn’t care. Ample reason to defederate from .art’s perspective. (Firefish.social has subsequently silenced but not blocked disqordia)

All of this is relatively routine, the screenshot fabrication thing more unusual.

I posted a medium-short summary elsewhere with a couple of links for folks looking for slightly more context.

I don't think the eris or defederation things are Huge News in themselves, but if it's true he doctored a screenshot to make the .art admin look bad, that's not a good look for a lead deve/flagship instance admin.

.art is an influential leader in community safety/moderation standards in the fediverse; their standards for federation are moderately high, and probably higher than folks on many lemmy instances would likely agree with. But it feels like the firefish guy has possibly a pattern of not doing his homework about things in general?

Obviously the big question is, did he actually doctor screenshots and if so, WTF, man.

 

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.

 

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")

 

Infrared photography uses modified cameras, filters, and/or specialized film to capture near infrared light that is outside the visible range. Originally used for scientific, agriculture, and notably for military surveillance, but later was deployed for artistic effect due to its distinctive rendering of foliage and skies.

Any communities or instances focused on non-white folks or information/news/organizing against racism and colonialism specifically?

There's a wealth of general lefty communities it seems like but at a glance many of them seem to be preettttyyy white

I find it very easy to lock myself into one or two different ratios simply because I don't want to do math first thing in the morning. But sometimes, especially if there's coffee that's just finicky, a big swing in ratio can be just the thing.

My most commonly used ratio is 1:18, but I have a coffee (medium-light, washed) currently that I've mostly enjoyed iced and not hot. So I was going to try doing it hot with bypass this morning, but after tasting it at 1:10, it was really good, so problem solved I guess.
