Hi,

I've been using a Delonghi Dedica for years with the pressurised basket and found that it makes pretty good coffee (to my untrained taste buds).

Recently bought an unpressurised basket and handle for it, but having trouble getting good coffee out of it.

I'm grinding much, much finer that before (still using a cheap electric bur grinder). I've found this is the only way to get crema. If i go one step finer on the grinder, the coffee machine cant even pump water through the grounds.

Using about 10g of coffee and tamping hard to create pressure, but even with that little coffee I'm just getting very strong and very bitter coffee. Extraction time is about 30 secs.

If I grind coarser, there's not enough pressure and you get an acidic coffee with no crema. Adding more coffee doesn't appear to create more pressure. Tamping harder doesn't seem to make much difference.

I wonder if anyone here has mastered good coffee with this machine.

May try my hand grinder next time. Could be the grinder is too cheap.

Cheers

Hey,

I was wondering what folks use to quickly send a file or a link between your PC and android phone in a lightweight and self hosted way.

Currently I use syncthing to copy files around, but I'm looking for something more immediate, and quick than doesn't involve searching for folders in a file manager.

Example use case: Send a file from PC to phone. Notification pops up on phone, tap it to access.

(PC runs OpenBSD)

What lightweight software do you guys use?

Stuff I tried so far:

• syncthing
• xmpp
• tox
• scp and termux.
• magic wormhole
• telegram saved messages

Fellow brits will understand.

I recently had to migrate my team's CI from Bors-NG to Github Merge Queues. In this post I share my experience in doing so.

Hi,

I've been using Jerboa for some time, but one day it started saying "unable to verify JWT token" and I appeared to be not logged in any more.

So I removed the account and tried to re-add it. It crashes every time after entering my password.

Tried clearing the cache. No good.

Any ideas?

Anyone fancy a moan about the Dartford crossing?

Woke up this morning to a £35 penalty for forgetting to pay the toll charge.

I swear they make it as easy as possible to forget...

I almost preferred when you had to toss coins into a hopper...

End whinging.
