Have you considered GrapheneOS? Not an open source phone as you say, but it is at least open source software, running on hardware with published specs. It should be capable of everything you want.

Eeyup, that looks about right. Congratulations.

Has anyone here used Mox? It looks interesting, but maybe a little immature.

I have been using modoboa, my installation is fine as far as it goes, but coming up a little short technologically these days, and the upgrade path is total replace. If you have or install Docker on your server, there are poste.io and docker-mailsever,which both look good. Running your mailserver in a container or VM is almost essential, for security, and so you can blow it away and start over if you make a mistake.

Running an email server is not necessarily hard, but it is stressful: if you have other users, even family, they will take it for granted when it works, and complain loudly when it does not. Like any server that others use. But, beyond security, I have a certain stubborn geek machismo about it, it’s a level of sysadmin above basic.

The Aeropress should be fine. The Hario grinder is not good, but produces an OK grind, it just takes forever. Since you want to taste the unique coffee, go middle of the range on recipe: water temperature, 200F/93C, your choice of 9g for a half cup seems spot on. Personally, I’d do pour over instead, but since you have one shot, go with the technique you are most familiar with.

I’d be really interested to know if the stuff is any good.

Similar experience with the Bambino, although I think that with any expresso machine, you are going to toss out a few cups until you get good.

I have a Breville Bambino, which I think is the low end of acceptable, but it’s 300 USD new.

1. Control and privacy. The server does exactly what I choose, not somebody’s business model.
2. Once you have other users, it’s not a hobby anymore. People are not amused by downtime.
3. The w3schools.com tutorials have been good for me.

Ooh. Extra bitter with your bitter.

Just made one of these. I probably got the recipe wrong, but can confirm, it’s delicious.

Seems like we always have cans of condensed milk left over from some holiday dessert, I want to try this one too. Sort of like the affogato except already melted.

Mmm, going to try that

I drink it. That’s a nice tin, though. I have lots of beans, tea and mate that would feel honored to be in that tin.

Piracy is increasingly becoming the only reasonable answer.

Guatemala Proyecto Xinabajul Dos Villatoros from Sweet Maria’s, roasted just a little past medium, ground in a Hario Skerton by hand, about 5 clicks on the grinder setting, brewed pour over in a Melitta single serving ceramic cone. Bloom it first, pour splashy the second time. It takes about 2 minutes for the brew to finish.
I play with beans and roast a lot, I am pretty fixed with brew technique.
I found some instant in a Vietnamese market once that was interesting. I usually avoid instant.
Like I said, I keep brew the same so as to evaluate playing with roasting, but I am open to ideas, I could probably do it better.

Two things, one you care about and one you might not. The one you care about: you can set up a service in isolation. You can then test it, make sure it works, and switch over to it once you are sure, with almost no downtime. This is important for things you actually need to use. Once you do something like breaking your primary email server, you will understand. Also, less important, you can set up a service on, say, a VM at home, and move it to a VPS, without having to transfer the entire image, and it will work the same. The one you don’t care about. That last bit about moving servers around is important for cloud providers who turn these things on and off all the time.

name.com. I don’t remember why I picked them, but they do no BS and the service is fine.

I do believe blooming is good, the first pour should be gentle and get the grounds wet, and the second pour should be from higher up, to agitate the grounds. There are probably other ways to get the same results. People tend to mess around with whatever techniques they can, do something that makes a better cup, and settle on that as the way to do it. There’s more than one good way.

Likewise. I have been running it for years, almost no problem that I can think of. My setup is pretty vanilla, Apache, MySQL. It’s running in a container behind a reverse proxy. I keep it as up to date as possible. Only 3 people use mine, and I don’t use very many apps: files, notes, bookmarks, calendar, email.

Everything in a corporation exists to benefit the corporation.
