What other metal filters have you tried? There are tons of these and I assumed they were all probably about the same.

I too am curious how Able Kone, Ovalware, and other similarly priced metal filters compare. Before this, I've only tried cheap filters from AliExpress, and whatever came with my french press.

Are you using a slightly finer grind in switching from paper to this?

Not sure, I haven't experimented with paper much. But I use a medium-fine grind.

I use a gold mesh filter on my drip system and I really like the coffee I get from that.

What brand?

I sometimes wonder if I could get away with a more coffee sparing ratio without sacrificing flavor if I used a metal filter on my Chemex (use a 1/13.5 rationwith paper).

I use a 1:15 - 1:17 ratio. But I have a Hario Switch (clone), so the grounds get a little immersion time too.

Cloudflare supports NS records, which is what you’re looking for. Except it probably only lets you create a zone for the top level domain, so you can only delegate to other providers. AWS Route53 will let you create subdomain zones, and will let you create NS records to set up delegation.

People mentioned Quad9, Cloudflare, Mullvad, and NextDNS already. Controld.com is also available for free with different levels of blocking. They also support DoH and DoT.

In my opinion the biggest problem with hardware keys is what happens when you lose them. You have to either provision the keys yourself, putting the secret on your computer. Or you have to buy backup keys and make sure to register both with all your services. You’ll end up using your phone or password manager as a “backup.” And then that backup becomes your primary 2FA.

How does NextDNS compare with controld.com?

How are you liking Controld vs NextDNS?

I tried Mullvad's DNS service and found that it messed up sites that rely on geography based DNS routing. For example, I'd get sent to a service's servers in Singapore instead of the US. This caused some noticeable lag.

You can buy a jacket that is (mostly) made out of cotton, and then wax it yourself. It’ll probably take you a few hours to do, but it can be done inexpensive. AliExpress has some cheap waxed jackets too.

Not direct advice. But I've switched from "technical" waterproof fabrics that use DWR chemicals, to waxed fabrics. I've found that after a year of use, the technical fabrics lose their ability to repel water, and I can't get them back no matter what I do. Waxed fabrics are heavier and don't breathe as well, but you can reapply wax to get them to repel water again.

If anyone tries this recipe, let us know what you think! And please share any tweaks you make.

My grinder is a Jaffee J1 from AliExpress, and I’m currently using it on ~~30~~ 25 clicks. Oddly I was able to using a finer grind and longer steep time on my French press. Something about the drip seems to extract more from the coffee.
