I honestly can’t understand why most of the popular social media providers are popular. But, if that’s what it takes, could we not?

Their audience likes nothing better than replaying their greatest hits. They really don’t pivot very well. Let them: it’s self harm, shows how irrelevant they are.

1. Control and privacy. The server does exactly what I choose, not somebody’s business model.
2. Once you have other users, it’s not a hobby anymore. People are not amused by downtime.
3. The w3schools.com tutorials have been good for me.

Ooh. Extra bitter with your bitter.

Just made one of these. I probably got the recipe wrong, but can confirm, it’s delicious.

Seems like we always have cans of condensed milk left over from some holiday dessert, I want to try this one too. Sort of like the affogato except already melted.

Mmm, going to try that

BREAKING: Trump sues Democrats to put Biden back on the ballot.

I drink it. That’s a nice tin, though. I have lots of beans, tea and mate that would feel honored to be in that tin.

Usually. You already know the answer to that…

Linux might not do everything you want it to, at least not easily, but it usually doesn’t do things you didn’t ask for, unlike all proprietary OSs these days.

Piracy is increasingly becoming the only reasonable answer.

Guatemala Proyecto Xinabajul Dos Villatoros from Sweet Maria’s, roasted just a little past medium, ground in a Hario Skerton by hand, about 5 clicks on the grinder setting, brewed pour over in a Melitta single serving ceramic cone. Bloom it first, pour splashy the second time. It takes about 2 minutes for the brew to finish.
I play with beans and roast a lot, I am pretty fixed with brew technique.
I found some instant in a Vietnamese market once that was interesting. I usually avoid instant.
Like I said, I keep brew the same so as to evaluate playing with roasting, but I am open to ideas, I could probably do it better.

I got the CD a little later, it’s still in the basement somewhere. All of it ran on a 386 in an XT fold open casse, with a monochrome graphics card and an amber CRT display.
If you needed more grognard nostalgia.

Slackware 1.1, downloaded from s BBS as a large pile of floppy disk images, in late 1993.

Two things, one you care about and one you might not. The one you care about: you can set up a service in isolation. You can then test it, make sure it works, and switch over to it once you are sure, with almost no downtime. This is important for things you actually need to use. Once you do something like breaking your primary email server, you will understand. Also, less important, you can set up a service on, say, a VM at home, and move it to a VPS, without having to transfer the entire image, and it will work the same. The one you don’t care about. That last bit about moving servers around is important for cloud providers who turn these things on and off all the time.

name.com. I don’t remember why I picked them, but they do no BS and the service is fine.

I do believe blooming is good, the first pour should be gentle and get the grounds wet, and the second pour should be from higher up, to agitate the grounds. There are probably other ways to get the same results. People tend to mess around with whatever techniques they can, do something that makes a better cup, and settle on that as the way to do it. There’s more than one good way.

Ooh, thanks, I should have checked that.

What I want to know is: did he have sex with her anyway?
