I agree, the CLI is good enough. Thanks for the note about the GUI package manager! I hadn't heard about that.

I also second the positive interactions. Mine have been almost exclusively positive. I've come across a few no effort "RTFM, idiot" attitudes but it's rarer on Nix forums and repos than I've seen elsewhere.

Tears of joy, no doubt

Right, for a paper physics problem. Try telling someone to multiply their hand by -1.

Not exactly an espresso grinder, but I absolutely love my Baratza Virtuoso (not the plus). Couldn't recommend it more highly.

No messing around, just a good looking, weighty, stainless appliance that does the job.

Can be had for cheap on ebay or similar. Tons of interchangeable parts and guides. Super easy to clean. Couldn't ask for more. Well, maybe a single dose hopper just for fun.

The range is absolutely perfect for Aeropress/V60 up to cold brew. Maaaaaybe fine enough for espresso depending on your setup. Definitely worth the few extra bucks if you're considering a Baratza Encore or similar.

The only thing I don't like about this is the implication of a left hand rule for left hand threads, which makes my E&M physics brain sad

I use this on my system! It's been the only declarative flatpak mechanism I've gotten to work. Simple, easy to configure, and a descriptive systemd log. What more could you ask for

Comparing Switch Immersion vs Aeropress?

That's a good question. Been a while since I've gone actually immersion brewed with it (usually just pour over and use the stopper for pre heating with less water). I'll make a couple of cups and get back to you.

Edit:

Cup making done! The immersion brew is super clean and easy. I do think some type of lid would help for longer brew times to keep the heat in on the Switch though.

I think both the Aeropress and Switch Immersion lend themselves well to darker (chocolatier/nuttier) extractions. After this little test I will probably switch over to immersion brewing for my afternoon decaf for the foreseeable future!

It's mostly Mastodon. (Shoutout to @RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works for posting the link to FediDB)

asking the real questions

Can't say enough good things about mine.

If I would start all over, the only two coffee makers I would own are:

  • Aeropress
  • Size 03 Hario Switch (V60 + a stopper for immersion brew)
 

AlternativeTo is a site I use quite a bit. Personally I use it when I get fed up with an Android app having too many ads / creepy network behavior or want to find a self-hostable version of a freemium service.

It has filters for free, open source, platform type, etc. From my understanding it's all crowd sourced, so if you disagree with a rating put in a vote! Sharing this in hopes that others find it as useful as I do.

If you know of similar or better resources I would love to hear about them.

Edit: many people are noting that the comments and reviews are out of date. I agree! Despite that I still find it to he useful. It would be great if this little bit of visibility gets more folks engaged over there to improve it.

 

Is anybody self hosting Beeper bridges?

I'm still wary of privacy concerns, as they basically just have you log into every other service through their app (which as I understand is always going on in the closed source part of Beeper's product).

The linked GitHub README also states that the benefit of hosting their bridge setup is basically "hosting Matrix hard" which I don't necessarily believe.
