How do you guys grind your coffee? (kbin.social)

I just retrofitted my basic hand crank mill with a 10mm nut, and drove it with a drill. It's so much faster now, but I do wonder if there's actual properly motorized versions of what I just did.

What does your TV/Movie streaming setup look like? (kbin.social)

Specifically I'm wondering about the TV frontend UI. Presumably most people are going to be using an android tv box like fire tv or chromecast? Something else?...

Kbin.social down again? Are people moving to mbin instances (kbin.run, fedia.io)? (kbin.social)

What's the most interesting traditional or formal politeness behaviour or table manners in your culture? Or for any service personnel, in your restaurant? (kbin.social)

I love all the ritualized behaviour, secret meanings and unexpected taboos - standing up when someone of higher status stands, elaborate rules for serving and eating, tapping the table to thank the server, never refuse a toast from a superior, stuff like that....

So... it's been a while now since the great exodus. How are you all doing my fellow refugees? (kbin.social)

I made my home here permanently now. It seems like such a friendlier place but how are you all doing?

Fuck Reddit u̶p̶v̶o̶t̶e̶ boost party! (kbin.social)

The apps have all gone offline, welcome aboard to all the other refugees, fuck /u/spez!

1 month of Linux Mint and some thoughts. (kbin.social)

About a month ago I switched to Linux mint from windows 11....

You can only drink one drink for the rest of your life, but it cannot be water. What do you pick? (kbin.social)

And no "water with a twist of lemon/slice of cucumber" goofs. Water isn't allowed.

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos? (kbin.social)

As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don't want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the "but first check out this shitty mobile game".

Who is doing the most good in the world, and how? (kbin.social)

My feed is filled with bad news, which is my fault for using the fediverse as a news feed, but it made me wonder: Which organisations, groups or individual people in the world are doing the most good for our world? I'm particularly interested in those who manage to do good on a larger impact scale (quantity or quality), but if...

World news vs US politics (kbin.social)

Please. All of this is mostly US politics. Please do not hijack "world news" to mean whatever new shit Desantis or someone else said this week. Every other magazine/community/whatever is already full of that shit. Please....

What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? (kbin.social)

As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....

What is the first movie you can remember ever having watched? (kbin.social)

What do you think about that movie now?

What are we all using for video chat in 2023? (kbin.social)

The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom... until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they...

How should we deal with similarly named communities? (kbin.social)

Right now there are similarely named communities across the fediverse....

You just finished setting up all your services and it works fine - how do you now prepare for eventual drive failure? (kbin.social)

I know that for data storage the best bet is a NAS and RAID1 or something in that vein, but what about all the docker containers you are running, carefully configured services on your rpi, installed *arr services on your PC, etc.?...

If people from the US love the imperial system so much, why are their musicians using metronomes instead of footonomes? (kbin.social)

I just found out that not all of my Reddit comments had been deleted despite my profile page showing otherwise. (kbin.social)

TL;DR: even if your delete script confirms a full wipe and your Reddit profile page shows zero comment, there may still be comments left over (that you can find through a search engine and delete manually on Reddit)....

Anyone ever have a baked potato explode? (kbin.social)

Idle question. I've always heard that you need to prick the skins before baking a potato. The potential consequence for failure to do so is a catastrophic potato explosion....

Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"? (kbin.social)

Not that I'm particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I'm wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.
