This is a great way to check whether the horrible asshole mods from /r/guitar are moderating here without specifically asking. 😂

I use NixOS with Home Manager and flakes.

Coltrane’s Sound when I’m looking for Giant Steps musical flow of consciousness while not feeling like I’ve heard it a billion times..

Then, I also adore his ballads and ballad compilation albums. I also love Coltrane’s ballad work because, IMO, he has such a muscular sound (if that makes any sense) that it adds character to his balladic passages (in contrast to Getz who was more stiff and in control at all times). Perhaps, in the visual world, what I’m describing is like if Basquiat painted a lush landscape at sunset.

Lemmy hug of death?

A few of the communities that I created here, I probably wouldn’t want to mod long-term. They’re a piece of cake at the moment but if the fediverse were to blow up, I’d have to hand them over to someone with more time.

!krita@lemmy.world , !gimp@lemmy.world , !darktable@lemmy.world , !guitaramps@lemmy.world , !offset@lemmy.world , !machinists@lemmy.world and a few others were just created to keep those names in safe hands and I’d prefer to safeguard them until I can pass them on to another person who is deeply committed to the collaborative spirit of FOSS and wants to run a community with fair and gentle moderation, no gate-keeping, and not ban-happy like /r/guitar on Reddit.

If they’re storing it right, it is content addressed, meaning that their servers are aware of duplicates because each file is hashed.

thanks so much for sharing. I'll give it a look.

It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕

rebuild_intelTower_withUpdate() { ./home/scripts/pullrelease.sh nix flake update sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#intelTower --impure --show-trace nix build .#homeConfigurations.bismuth-edp.activationPackage --impure --show-trace activateHM }

All this article says to me is how much of a grind-culture, corporate cuck Trace Underwood is. This feels like exactly the article I'd write if I were a wall street underling being forced to show my undying fealty for capitalism while reporting this story.

😅

I know, right? I was happy to see this here because the Reddit version is moderated by gatekeeping assholes. However, I have also boycotted Photoshop (and every other monopolistic Adobe product) out of principle. So, it's pretty hard for me to get back into editing images when gimp doesn't even have adjustment layers yet.

You seem to care enough to come here and shame us. Block the community if you don’t like it.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the guy has a massive negative effect on your life and American society in general due to his outsized platform and influence. People like you would prefer to shame normal people who want even a tiny shred of agency against oligarch billionaires because you believe that simply ignoring them will suffice. It won’t.

Would you have shamed Hitler’s most vocal critics if you were around before WWII?

IMO, voices of dissent against Elon’s toxic, fascist meddling should be amplified and perpetuated because, if he had his way, the US would be a fascist nation.

I started a general “gear” for sale community on world a few days ago.

Use it and make sure to be street smart about how you exchange goods and currency.

Well-said, friend. ✊🏼

No problem. Glad to share. I derived my method from one given to me by a barista named Jay Presto in Boston, MA 12 years ago.

He, from what I recall, liked to cut cloth to size and found that to be the best method if the cloth is pre-soaked. That might compliment your Americano method well.

but had never heard of the inverted method until this thread (obvs, I don’t hang out in coffee communities much…)

So I tried it, and while I will say it was night-and-day different, I prefer the standard method. The inverted method just loses the two attributes that I value most from the Aeropress: it was grittier and more bitter than the standard method.

To each their own.

I have a few differences in how I make mine that would probably make it more enjoyable inverted for you:

- the inverted method will get fairly close to a latte. So, that's perhaps why you're expecting the other method's more tea-like extraction rather than the super-concentrated shots I use.

- It sounds like you're using the paper filters. I suggest the SUPER fine metal screens.

Here's my aerolatte protocol (that has evolved over the past 10 years):

1. grind 30g of beans fairly fine (like table salt).
2. pull the plunger out until it is between the 3 and 4 and place inverted with funnel
3. pour in the ground coffee
4. pour in water 209 F water enough to saturate all the coffee (by the time it hits the grounds, it is probably around 204 F which is ideal)
5. stir gently to get all grounds saturated (don't agitate the microfines too much)
6. add more hot water almost to the top
7. set the screen into the black plastic screen and pre-wet/heat it into a mug with the hot water
8. lock the lid and screen on top of the aeropress (the water will cause the screen to stick to the black plastic when you turn it upside down)
9. plunge down (still upside down) until all the air is purged from the chamber and coffee starts pooling on top of the filter (but not spilling)
10. let it sit for 165 seconds
11. flip it onto a properly-fitting mug and apply even pressure aiming to extract over 30 seconds. (if it's too fast, you ground too course; if it's too slow, you ground too fine)
12. add steamed milk (140 mL at 160 F is what I use)

Yeah! Let’s vote even harder this time. We need to make sure the guy who got $250,000 from MBNA after he wrote the legislation that made student loans inescapable defeats a literal Nazi! That’ll teach em!

yes. It's a night and day difference.

Nice aeropress. You should try the inverted method. It’s like 1,000x better.
