I’m open to change my mind, but at a glance the plastic one seems better in many ways.

Did someone test the aeropress and find lots of microplastics?

A few people mentioned it here.

If its a concern, aren’t (e.g.) tupperware and coffee flasks too?

They address this in the FAQ:

The number markings are a recognizable part of the AeroPress design and, by including them on Steel, we’re protecting our trademark. To help with fill guidance, the inside of the chamber includes a laser-etched mark at the 5 level that can be seen from above.

“Protecting trademark”

Thats silly money.

The charm of the AP is that it’s cheap and you can just lob it in your camping bag.

Good to hear.

I’ve not released it because I hacked it up very quickly.

Let’s go back to gopher?

Read the guardian over the gopher protocol at my gopher hole:

People like FreeNAS.

I just installed alpine Linux. I just wanted a compact Linux with good ZFS support.

For backup i use restic to backblaze.

I moved from my old nas to my new in a similar manner.

I have a two disk mirror. Call the disks d1 and d2.

• removed d1 from the old server, put it in the new nas
• creat fresh filesystem on d1
• copied the data, over the network, from d2 to d1.
• took d2 from the old server and added it to a mirror with d1 in the new server. Let it resilver.

It worked, but I was damn sure to have a backup.

Also note, the ugreen nas software is garbage. Install your own os.

Me too.

You made me question my sanity. Clocks change in 3 weeks in the uk!

I dont understand why people aren’t sandboxing these things.

Another question: is how many charge / discharge cycles are possible?

Usually the faster you charge a cell, the fewer times you can do so.

Could they please make cheap ram?

Yeah, and meanwhile visa are doing god knows how many million transactions per second.

I dont think its that big, but bitcoin is also very slow, which wont help.

Pepperoni

Yes, it’s very strange to see Sam enter this world. I wish him all the best though.

I’ve been using Linux and Unix for about 25 years and I’ve never had a malware problem.

I’m not saying they dont exist (they do), but malware for those systems seems much rarer.

Can’t wait to hear how much a “lower cost” macbook costs. I bet it’s still pricey.
