oof, me too. :/

KammicRelief ,

So nice! Those happy lighting accidents are the best. Well captured!

KammicRelief ,

I’ve been roasting my own lately, in a popcorn popper. It’s cheap, quick, fun, actually decent if I don’t completely mess it up, and occasionally even surprisingly good (as in, “I’d pay $20 for a bag of this”). Because of the size of the popcorn popper, I only roast ~100g at a time, so lots of experimentation with roast times, etc. I definitely go on the lighter side.

KammicRelief ,

oooh those are bringing up some serious childhood arcade memories.
I loved Zaxxon! I gotta see if I can play that on PC.

KammicRelief ,

Totally agree with this! Same thoughts about Spider-Man too.

KammicRelief ,

Agreed, it’s very comforting! Cool pic.

LOLLLL

Battery use on OLED when screen black but not "off"?

Hey, what’s up. I’ve been trying to get my phone (oneplus 8) all perfect again, after I recently decided not to use fingerprint security anymore. I now use a password, which feels right, but when I’m just sitting at my desk it feels like overkill to have to retype it so many times when I’m just checking little things....

KammicRelief OP ,

This makes sense. Thanks!

KammicRelief OP ,

That sounds right. If I swipe down from the top, there’s my navbar, which very much feels like the phone is sitting there “on.” ok thank you! Maybe this idea was a pipedream after all, but I can get used to typing my password more often.

KammicRelief OP ,

Good idea, but yeah, I tend to leave location off unless I’m using it for driving directions or something. I’ll keep it in mind though, thanks!

KammicRelief OP ,

Thank you for confirming this!

KammicRelief OP ,

You are right. There used to be some setting… I had it hooked in via Nova Launcher and some accessibility setting, where with one gesture I could “turn it off” without requiring password, and with a power button press I could fully lock. But Android has (fairly recently) removed that option. (Also, fwiw, I’m no longer on Nova, but that’s beside the point!) Thanks for checking that for me.

KammicRelief ,

Awesome… I just installed kvaesitso after (…about 10?) years of being a paid Nova Premium user. I uninstalled Nova and so far so good. Thanks!

KammicRelief ,

Thanks! I grabbed it on fdroid, which gets updates, right? It looked like the most recent was 2 months ago, when I installed it.

KammicRelief ,

We’re talking about Kvaesitso, right? I see 1.29.1 from Feb 21, whether I check it on fdroid or github.

KammicRelief ,

My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I’m like “oookayy I’ll start saying it,” it’s way too late.

I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like “…in the parlance of our times…”

Paperless Stainless Steel Filter

I don’t mean this to be an advertisement, but I have tried a few metal coffee filters, and have not been able to find one that works as well as one from a company called Ovalware. Its the only one I could find that lists a micron size for the inner mesh (40 μm). I’ve found that this draw down time is faster than a paper...

KammicRelief ,

I’ve been using the Coava cone off and on for a few years and I like it. Lately I’ve moved back to paper for the most part, as I’m trying to learn “the right way” to do a V60. But this morning I did a metal cone actually… and it didn’t work out well. It was kind of an experiment to see what’d happen if I pre-sifted out the fines (I have a 500 micron sieve). Alas, this led to an extremely fast drawdown. I knew that fines slowed drawdown in paper, but people don’t talk about metal out here very much, hence the experiment.

I’m not sure of the micron size of the Coava…

KammicRelief ,

I’m very new to sifting, and that was my very first time sifting for the metal filter. I think you’re right that I’m better off with an immersion method if I’m sifting and using metal. I could do the ol’ inverted AeroPress+metal instead. I think you’re right on about it being underextracted because of the too-fast flow. Although, I’ll say, before I ever messed around with sifting, I got some great cups with the metal cone, and a medium-fine grind. More body than a V60 of course, but probably sacrificing some clarity? Not sure… amateur speaking here. :)

KammicRelief ,

Ooh, the sock thing looks cool, but I’m in the same boat as you on it! Maybe someday.

The reason I picked the Coava was, I live in Portland and they’ve been one of my favorite local roasters. They do their in-shop pourovers on those things and I always loved how they came out, so, I splurged one father’s day and got myself one. Of course, I don’t have a zillion-dollar grinder, so mine don’t come out quite as good as theirs…

“how bout a round of Gwent” answer to everything

KammicRelief ,

I’ve been using a LIDO 2 for a few years, but am considering the move to 1zpresso…

KammicRelief ,

I can sift out about 10% fines with a typical Lido grind. Not inherently a bad thing, but I’m intrigued by the almost-zero-fines of the 1zpresso ZP6. A friend of mine has one, and said he did the same thing – was sifting daily with his other grinder, but decided to stop throwing away 10% of his coffee. :) Don’t get me wrong, the Lido is great and has served me well, and I wouldn’t even get rid of it. It’s just a different thing, going more unimodal.

KammicRelief ,

Ooh, the Timemore looks awesome, congrats!

KammicRelief ,

I’ve been back on a roasting kick, using a popcorn popper. It works surprisingly well, it’s cheap, and another fun thing to nerd out to! This week I’m brewing a few different roasts (all in the light-to-medium range) of an Ethiopia Sidamo bean from Sweet Maria’s (my main source for green beans). I usually do V60, but sometimes Kalita, lately using Lance Hedrick’s 1-2-1 recipe. I have a LIDO 2 hand grinder that I’m pretty happy with. I’m toying with the idea of sifting out fines, but I’m not sure I want to throw that big of a variable into my process just yet–differences between roasts and slight changes I make to pouring etc. are enough variables so far. And yes, very satisfied! This 1-2-1 recipe has allowed me to grind coarser than usual (I think because of how you agitate the fines out of the bed and into the filter, which slows the drawdown), and that has really helped with flavors. (Another reason I’m not sure I want to sift out fines just yet.)

KammicRelief ,

Read this while wiping.

KammicRelief ,

and inspired C#, which is pretty rad! (humble opinion… preparing for downvotes because I don’t get the feeling lemmy is where M$ devs hang out)

KammicRelief ,

Totally! Thanks 😊

KammicRelief ,

Maybe this explains the sudden burst of Star Wars content in Rocket League?

KammicRelief ,

Interesting, I just finished this book. I tried it in high school, it seemed profound at the time, but I couldn’t finish it. Now I’m an older software dev and it was much easier to read this time around, but I feel like I missed something. Did Hofstatder gloss a bunch of stuff in the final couple of chapters? Or did I just fail to grasp all the strange loop stuff and put it together on my own? Not sure. I still enjoyed it, and it gave me some good ways of conceptualizing brains, minds, thoughts, etc. Especially the ant colony stuff.

KammicRelief ,

Did anyone else read that as “Woman Enters MRI with a Machine Gun” ?

KammicRelief ,

I was also going to correct. Thanks for doing the work!

KammicRelief ,

I use and love Affinity. Back on v1 I used RawTherapee to do the initial conversion, then AP for the “photoshop part”… but in v2 the raw conversion in AP is pretty good, so I just use that for my whole workflow.

KammicRelief ,

Wow, never heard of the Mugen until your comment. I looked it up, and it looks interesting. I use a v60, and sometimes a Kalita Wave. How do you like the Mugen?

KammicRelief ,

very cool, thanks!

KammicRelief ,

That looks phenomenal! How was the sound quality there?

KammicRelief ,

I just discovered a roaster in Portland called Push X Pull. They specialize in natural process light roasts. This roast was particularly interesting pushxpullcoffee.com/…/colombia-finca-villa-betuli…But everything I’ve tried there has been really good!

KammicRelief ,

Will Vivaldi still block ads, even though it’s on chromium?

KammicRelief ,

Oh damn. Ok thanks!

KammicRelief ,

Now that’s a shitpost.

KammicRelief ,

Still working my way through Gravity’s Rainbow, my 3rd time ever. This time I’m using a companion/guidebook and it’s definitely helping me get even more out of it. This has been my favorite book for a long time, and still is!

KammicRelief ,

Nice, thanks for the recommendation! I will check out the podcast.

KammicRelief ,

Awesome, I just bought a used copy of “one hundred years…” Looking forward to reading it!

Setting "personal goals" at work is such bullshit

Now on top of my workload, which is already insane, I’m expected to set and meet personal goals by some arbitrary deadline? This shit is so condescending. I’m an adult, being paid to exchange my time and work for a salary. I don’t need to be treated like a child and made to complete these homework assignments to prove my...

KammicRelief ,

Yes… I don’t think I’ve met anyone who enjoys the reviews, the 1:1s, having to remember what I did this past year, and… what you said.

KammicRelief ,

Wow! Funny to hear Asimov described as modern (unless you mean it in the sense of modern vs. classical vs. post-modern etc.). But – I love those books and want to reread them someday… Enjoy!

KammicRelief ,

Nice!! I was surprised how funny and entertaining it was. I fully expected it to be crusty and boring (because, old books, right?)

KammicRelief ,

Ooh I liked that one too!
