The Stumptown aeropress video will give you an idea of using it while camping.
I pan roast and it makes pretty tasty coffee, but doesn't work well as an espresso bean. For that I stick with something professionally done. I don't think I would invest in roasting beyond what I've done. It's a good way to understand more about the process/journey that beans undergo.
I have a really hard time getting Aurora working the way all my other Linux devices so that are running some form of Ubuntu (Mate or Bodhi). With that said, it's been very stable and i like not being interrupted with packages to install while working on things...
Next time in South Cali check out Philz coffee. It's pour over and an interesting menu.
Have you considered roasting beans?
I also started my journey of coffee fun not too long ago. My journey started when I wanted a manual process to replace my drip machine. The gateway drug was the aeropress. I love how quick that think makes a great cup, but the v60 can't be beat.
What are these cables for when all new displays that support it will have builtin app that everyone is going to use to watch streaming services with. The last time I have seen an external streamer used was for someone with an older TV where the builtin apps are no longer updated.
I get the need for eARC usage, but that's already implemented... So...?
I avoided transcoding by making sure to only host videos compatible with all clients. Also, I will spend the time to reencode codes that are too large for my taste. Which happens after a rip of uhd disks.
H265 with slow preset really works wonders for non-grainy film. AV1 is what you have to use when there is grain.
Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.
While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.
I want my laundry machine to figure out the best way to wash whatever I toss in automatically without an Internet connection. I guess I'm asking for too much :(
I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn't search as hard as you I think.
