Barazata Encore. It’s a bit expensive but lasts and works quite well.

Containers are very lightweight. I have no desire to build anything so I always just add another service container to my existing stacks.

Look at it this way: industrialized warfare required capitalism.

Every now and then Lemmy has an actual discussion like this that gives me hope that it can become more than just an idiotic link aggregator. Thanks!

After avoiding Covid since the start my spouse just tested positive. We are both fully vaccinated. She has to socialize to stay sane, I’m fine being a hermit. Sitting here waiting to get sick. Yay endless pandemic!

One does not ‘fire a tank at a house’, instead one’s tank fires at a house.

I assume you meant decent. Prime has always been substandard. They are indeed a descent service gliding right down into the enshittification cesspool.

Yeah is type 1. But it pools supports network storage and is free, and I know how to use it.

I run HA as a container in a vm. I back HA data up nightly and the compose script for running HA is archived on github. If the vm dies there is another vm that can bring it back up. If the host dies (I have a pool of xenserver (xcp-ng) hosts, so it would be a major domestic disaster if they all croaked) I have a fallback to run HA on docker on wsl. If the house burns down all the scripts are on GitHub and the backups get sent to Azure monthly. I think I’m covered.

Add in alertmanager and hook it to slack. Get notified whenever containers or systems are misbehaving.

Yeah it’s intended for pvc water pipes - it’s safe.

I did. I forgot to mention that. The actual problem was that the funnel no longer sealed tightly with the water container. Using thread tape repaired the seal. Replacing the funnel would also work, but thread tape is very inexpensive.

 

So about two weeks ago my 9-cup pot started failing. Instead of a nice rich flow, it did nothing until it started to boil, and then produced about 3 of it's 9 'cups' via a disgusting tasting over boiled sputtering mess.

I changed the filter. I cleaned the interior with a toothbrush. I blamed the beans. I blamed the grind. I was wrong every time. I was in despair. I youtubed.

TL;DW: use thread tape to correct the fit between the funnel and the top of the water container. Works great!

 

I bake weekly using a levain. I preserve about 25g from the levain in the refrigerator as my starter. There seem to be two choices for how to do this:

  1. After feeding the old starter to begin the levain ferment.

  2. After the levain has fermented.

So I conducted an experiment. I now have two 25g starters in my refrigerator. The first is fed but not fermented. The second is fed and fermented.

Visually these starters are quite different. (1) is ‘ bready’ and full of bubbles. (2) is soupy and no visible bubbles, but on close examination there are fine bubbles in it.

Baking the same recipe for each I get approximately identical results.

As far as I can tell it makes no difference which method I use.
