I did read this somewhere before. I just have to take my chances at the moment. My other option was Windscribe, but unless you’re paying for a year+ their prices are astronomical.

I love Mullvad, but if you need P2P its not the best option. If you just need a VPN, though, its amazing. Today I just switched to AirVPN and am running it on Arch through Eddie. Have my qbittorrent set up to only allow connections through Eddie and just forwarded my first port. I’m very happy with it.

I think the only downside is that I could get Mullvad for 5eur a month on a month by month basis. AirVPN is 7eur or 15eur for three months, so I have to lock into the three months to get the same price.

Maybe not butt farts, but butter for sure.

I have no idea where we received this stigma and I am appalled. You can falsely accuse me of anything, ANYTHING, except microwaving tea. I will not let that stand.

I gotta find me one of those. Mine was a gift from my mother and I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth in this economy. It’s a bit of a pain, but I’m good with my hands and even better with pulling apart tech. It’s a pain, but not impossible to clean.

Bonus is that you can buy third party roller replacements for a third of the price of the head unit. At least third party markets are still allowed for the time being.

I was just thinking about this the other day after removing the fifteenth torx screw from the bottom of my Shark vacuum’s roller head. They hid screws under the pipe hatch and the two tiny friction mounted front wheels. Vacuums are triple the price and rollers are no longer removable from the outside.

45 minutes to fix what is essentially a five minute problem. They’d rather you throw it away and buy the whole head unit from the site. They even have bars blocking you from cutting hair from the roller without opening it.

Shit like this is why I still use an iPod 5th gen. No internet. No tracking apps. Just you and your hard copied music on a device that can be opened, repaired, and modded.

At least chicken good.

Americano coffee. You make a strong espresso with normal beans and add hot water to the cup after the press.

Yeah, true. I’m pretty good at the balancing circus act. I’ve only had one mistake and I was very tired that morning and forgot to put the filter cap on. Just a little spilled though, mostly I just wound up with a bunch of grounds in my cup. I may still try the valve or the Prismo, though.

100% subscribed. I’m the type to do a week of research of how and what before I push the buy button on something, and this will a help a ton. Thank you.

I can imagine its a nightmare to clean. Stuff like this is why I keep rugged reusable pipe cleaners at the kitchen sink. Not to mention I believe you have to use the stainless steel filter even if you use a paper filter?

I would think that just a paper filter would immediately siphon into the hole. Would be nice if they just made a metal insert with holes like the standard cap for paper filters.

That’s fair. It really does make a great cup of coffee. I just really want to try things like pour over and moka pot.

Absolutely! I use an app called Timer Widget - Tea Time. I swear I found it on F-Droid, but it seems to have migrated to Google Play only. It has no app interface, but rather is a widget. It’s customizable, you can choose the color of the timer and active timer and change the volume plus the sound that plays.

But there’s another simple one on F-Droid called Cuppa that’s very good, too. If you want something more complex that will go step by step, there’s Cofi - Brew Timer on F-Droid. It uses exact instruction input and a timer that will go down the list in order.

Admittedly, standard plunge is the best and easiest way to do it if you just want a good cup of coffee. I went overboard testing and fiddling with this method. It really is a ritual, lol. I feel like a kitchen alchemist sometimes.

In my defense, I spend a little more to get a good brand of coffee straight from the roaster’s site, as well as a local coffee I found that is absolutely delicious. I figured I might as well take the time to get my money’s worth out of them. This method takes upwards of fifteen minutes, and is not great if you just need to plunge and get somewhere.

Hmmm, strange. I guess you could try ProtonUp-Qt and inject GE’s newest Proton in and see if that works. Also, there are some games that wouldn’t run for me until I installed the Steamworks Common Redistributables from the tools page in my library. Threw me off recently because I swear that the last time I was on Arch those autoinstalled after switching my compatibility over to Proton.

Big corp facts.

Mullvad, (the vpn, I have not tried the browser) uses a single account number as both name and password, no emails. It allows for multiple anonymous payment methods and it’s open source.

Sliiiiightly more trustworthy than Google imo.

Thankfully compiling on Windows was as easy as searching for a guide online. When I switched to CachyOS there was also a package in the AUR that seems well maintained.

I like that LibreSprite exists though. I wonder if it can use Aseprite’s extensions. I might have to check it out just to see.

Once my financial situation is settled I do want to pay. Aseprite is an amazing tool and the devs deserve my money at this point. They don’t ask much and still keep it available to compile for free. That’s real marketing, imo.

We’re that one cousin no one talks about.
