PenisWenisGenius , to lemmyshitpost in Boring ass planet

Nasa is ruining every planet one-by-one. First pluto wasn’t a planet. Then neptune is even more boring and stupid than previously thought. Next thing we know, Mars isn’t a planet anymore because planets aren’t red.

root_beer ,

Venus isn’t a planet either. It’s a hell-sphere. But that makes it even more rad 🤘

AngryCommieKender ,

A hell-sphere that would be easier to fix than Mars, which is an entirely different type of hell-sphere. Just toss in enough ice to make eventual oceans and some cyanobacteria, and it should calm down in a few hundred thousand years.

Short of an artificial black hole at its center to raise the gravity, I don’t see how we could ever terraform Mars. There’s not enough gravity for anything that evolved here to be healthy there.

Floating cities in the clouds of Venus mining carbon dioxide and nitrogen out of the atmosphere, sending all those excess gases to Mars, the Belt, and the moons of the gas giants for terraforming and habitats.

Car Salesman: * slaps the Venusian atmosphere * "You can fit so many Martians under this bad boy."

afraid_of_zombies ,

Maybe looking at it the wrong way. Mars becomes a place to visit. Turn it into an ecosystem full of stuff that can survive the low gravity. Insects and plants. You know after you stripmine it.

Go visit the weird ass nature reserves from your spinning space habitat.

AngryCommieKender ,

That’s certainly an option, but right now it seems most space agencies are totally ignoring Venus as a possibility, and are focused on a Mars colony.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Well Mars colony would be easier at the moment.

As much as I don’t particularly like the man I think Bezos was right. We already have a place with ideal gravity. The future should be orbiting colonies. Imagine processes that could be done under fully controlled conditions.

Well I mean why is Mercury still a planet? It didn’t clear it’s own orbit, it just happens to be in an empty orbit.

Technically the concept of a planet is a social construct. Scientists have been scurrying around redefining the definition of a planet to exclude asteroids ever since they discovered them. Why can’t they just say that the Earth is a wet asteroid and be done with it?

My personal definition of planet:

  1. big enough to be spherical
  2. has never been big enough to cause fusion

The world’s biggest ball of string is now a planet.

Bridger , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I measure the beans before I grind. No way I’m storing ground coffee.

infinitevalence ,
@infinitevalence@discuss.online avatar

Same I grind fresh every time I make coffee and I generally only have one bag open at a time so my beans stay fresh.

Sunny OP ,

Which is probably the best way for sure, keeps it fresh! 🌻

seaQueue , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?
@seaQueue@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t store ground coffee? Buy an inexpensive hand grinder from someone who’s moved up to a more expensive model and keep your beans whole until you’re ready to brew.

Coffee stales amazingly quickly and there’s really no good way to prevent it, the longest I’d store ground coffee for is like half a day (if I’m taking some ground coffee to work to make a cup mid day.)

If you absolutely must store ground coffee an airtight container should work but it won’t be terribly fresh after a day or two.

guyrocket ,
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

I think this is the correct answer. When I went back to drinking coffee again a few years ago I bought a cheap hand grinder from scamazon. When money was available I bought the electric grinder I have now. I still use the hand grinder when camping.

I keep my beans in the freezer. If I kept ground coffee around I'd keep it there too.

ETA: I think this is the hand grinder I have: https://www.amazon.com/PARACITY-Grinder-Stainless-Aeropress-Espresso/dp/B08QRL9Q4Q/ref=sr_1_16

lunarul ,

I have a similar grinder, paid less than $20 for it, works great. I’ve been using it daily since 2019.

Unfortunately it’s not on Amazon anymore. I found it on eBay, but with a single 1 star review: www.ebay.com/itm/124212737537

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Buy an inexpensive hand grinder

Any suggestions there? I’ve looked in the past from recommended review sites but some of the ones I saw suggested online as quality started at like $80. Also does it take a long time to grind say 6-8 tablespoons of ground coffee?

I’m out of the loop here, you’re better off making a new post and asking everyone. I ascended to a $200+ 1zpresso last year and I’m never going back. Someone on Reddit bought it and had buyers remorse so when I saw it listed for half price I couldn’t resist.

I can tell you not to buy the Hario Skerton or Skerton Pro though; both were incredibly inconsistent and I had a terrible time brewing using them. Even with stabilizer ring mods they both made a ton of fines and boulders, they weren’t good for anything except very coarse grind cold brew.

seaQueue , (edited )
@seaQueue@lemmy.world avatar

I see a lot of people recommending the Timemore C2 as a cheap first grinder. Look for one on AliExpress and it’ll be cheaper than scAmazon. <$50 that sounds like the best option. I dug around a bit earlier and it looks like you can get one for ~$40 when they’re on sale.

Cosmos7349 ,

I haven’t used that specific model, but Timemore makes great stuff. Them and 1zpresso are the class of the current gen of hand grinders imo.

seaQueue ,
@seaQueue@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I have a 1zpresso k ultra and it’s a phenomenal grinder. I haven’t fired up my electric grinder since I bought it.

Godort , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I think most people here will be grinding their own coffee per batch. It’s typically step 1 or 2 when getting into the hobby, the other being buying better coffee.

That being said, if you do have pre-ground coffee try to use it as quickly as possible as it will lose flavor much faster than whole beans. Store it in a dark, air-tight container.

That tin box you have was originally used for loose leaf tea and is widely available if you want more

TTimo ,

Ah this is great. My mom had the same tin box. I’ve seen that thing all my childhood.

fubarx , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

Inexpensive electric burr grinder. Grind a single serving and Aeropress it. Works a charm. No complaints.

thayer , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

Nice tin. We grind a 1L Mason jar’s worth at a time and use a French press. One jar lasts about 2 weeks and honestly, I can’t tell the difference between a fresh grind and a 2-week grind, regardless of bean used. I’m sure some would disagree :)

gomp , to linux in My /var/tmp folder is endlessly stacking up on "container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx" folders?

No idea but I found this: github.com/containers/podman/issues/20839

Sunny OP ,

ouh, nice find! when I do podman info i do fine one line that says

imageCopyTmpDir: /var/tmp

so this must be it? I have had one distrobox set up using boxbuddy, could that be it?

atzanteol ,

Give this a go:


<span style="color:#323232;">podman system prune
</span>

See if it frees up any space. But it does seem like you’re running containers (which makes sense given you’re on an immutable distro) so I would expect to be using lots of temporary space for container images.

Sunny OP , (edited )

right so podman system prune does save some space, but not much. I still see the folders popping in right after having used the command. Also podman ps --all doesnt list a single container :<

atzanteol ,

My guess is that you’re using some other form of containers then, there are several. It’s a common practice with immutable distros though I don’t know much about bazzite itself.

Are these files large? Are they causing a problem? Growing without end? Or just “sitting there” and you’re wondering why?

Sunny OP ,

Growing without and end, each file varies in size, one being bigger than the other, as I wrote in the description of the post. They will continue to stack up until it fills my entire 1TB SSD, then KDE will complain i have no storage left.

I dont have docker installed and Podman ps --all says I have no containers… So im kind of lost at sea with this one.

atzanteol ,

Those aren’t the only containers. It could be containrd, lxc, etc.

One thing that might help track it down could be running sudo lsof | grep ‘/var/tmp’. If any of those files are currently opened it should list the process that hold the file handle.

“lsof” is “list open files”. Run without parameters it just lists everything.

Sunny OP ,

atzanteol ,

Aha! Looks like it is podman then.

So - there are a few different types of resources podman manages.

  • containers - These are instances of an image and the thing that “runs”. podman container ls
  • images - These are disk images (actually multiple but don’t worry about that) that are used to run a container. podman image ls
  • volumes - These are persistent storage that can be used between runs for containers since they are often ephemeral. podman volume ls

When you do a “prune” it only removes resources that aren’t in use. It could be that you have some container that references a volume that keeps it around. Maybe there’s a process that spins up and runs the container on a schedule, dunno. The above podman commands might help find a name of something that can be helpful.

Sunny OP ,

aha! Found three volumes! had not checked volumes uptil now, frankly never used podman so this is all new to me… Using podman inspect volume gives me this on the first volume;

atzanteol ,

Navigating the various things podman/docker allocate can be a bit annoying. The cli tools don’t make it terribly obvious either.

You can try using docker volume rm name to remove them. It may tell you they’re in use and then you’ll need to find the container using them.

SimplyTadpole ,
@SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Does all this also apply to distrobox? I don’t use podman, but I do use distrobox, which I think is a front-end for it, but I don’t know if the commands listed here would be the same.

atzanteol ,

I’m not terribly familiar with distrobox unfortunately. If it’s a front end for podman then you can probably use the podman commands to clean up after it? Not sure if that’s the “correct” way to do it though.

Pulptastic , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I store whole bean in an airtight container and grind it daily.

OhmsLawn , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

Beans go in mason jars once I open a 1 Kg bag. Once it’s ground, I’m drinking it.

pooberbee , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/a2bad1c6-a137-446c-9279-2a82b1cfc05a.jpegNot ground coffee, because I measure before I grind, but I have this jar that previously held instant coffee. It perfectly fits a bag of coffee, and I think it’s probably more airtight than the bag.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Also, it’s glass, which is nice.

DerArzt ,

Be warned about that grinder you have, the basket the grounds deposit into is two separate pieces and will eventually fail, spreading coffee grounds all over your kitchen on your dog while you’re hurrying trying to get ready for work and you overslept.

I know from… experience

pooberbee ,

I’ve had that grinder for about ten years now and I bang that basket on the knockbox everyday and it’s doing okay, but I get what you mean. The hopper lid has a crack in it from falling not very hard a while ago, so I think it might just be luck of the draw as to whether one gets a fragile plastic piece.

Watch, I’m sure the basket will shatter tomorrow, now. But the good news would be that I don’t think they sell replacement parts for it anymore, so I guess I’d have to upgrade.

fritobugger2017 , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I weigh the amount of beans I intend to grind so I never have to store ground coffee.

Klordok , to coffee in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.

urata ,

I also store mine in plastic container, I actually grind roughly a week to two weeks worth of coffee at a time. The flavor difference after it sits for a while is less noticeable to me than the difference from when I get a new bag of coffee beans.
