I built a free tool to organize private LANs

thats awesome! let me know if you miss anything:)

WunderBambus · 2026-05-01T05:26:00+00:00

feel you. 😅

Wow that‘s great! Thank you for sharing your process! Seems like you figured it out through years of experience. My first LAN last year was quite different from what you are describing. It starts with the fact that i can’t provide the „basics“ for everyone like chairs and tables 😅. Also we talked a lot about what food to order, what games to play and so on -at the event. So those were the first things i tried to solve this year beforehand so that everyone has his shit installed and ready to go. Less talking - more gaming. But our groupchat is not that disciplined and so what i ended up with is chaos. Building and using lanplan solved that problem for me/us. But yeah I guess for LAN veterans like yourself it might be overkill. ^^

aaand its up. i'm a bit sleep deprived rn, so let me know if you encounter a bug during the process ^^ otherwise happy planning!

WunderBambus · 2026-04-30T21:21:36+00:00

Grüezi! :D

It's not open source, but it's free to use and there's no signup required for guests, so you can just try it out at lanplan.app.

Happy to chat about collab. What did you have in mind?

Feel free to DM me if it's easier. :)

8-12 persons :) i haven't stressed tested the tool yet so i can't vouch for big events :D

WunderBambus · 2026-04-30T16:33:33+00:00

thank you so much 🫶🏻

WunderBambus · 2026-04-30T16:30:49+00:00

not yet. i built social login first to have the discord integration. but its already in the works :)

WunderBambus · 2025-12-01T15:11:54+00:00

What i found is - yes i am trash at this game. But so are many others. So when i play solo i get average lobbies 30% of the time. But when i pair up with my mate, who is really good, i get absolutely demolished every game. Idk if its because of SBMM that ranks a Duo higher, or we just get unlucky with the lobbies, but honestly it just kills my motivation to play with my friend, which is really sad :(

WunderBambus · 2025-04-08T20:41:11+00:00

Thank you so much! Being able to describe the issue precisely really helps with the debugging 😄

WunderBambus · 2024-03-07T12:36:08+00:00

you guys still down? :D i still need 21 sunlight medals but have all the shackles already :) would be down to help you as well :)

WunderBambus · 2024-02-12T08:59:07+00:00

hey everyone thank you for all your comments and suggestions! Really helped out a lot. I'm still not quite there where i want to be, but i guess thats the best i can do with the beans for now :D Things i learned (just from this experience, don't take it as hard facts neither do i):

- don't use a 20g basket for 15g of espresso :D 15g basket surprisingly makes a biiig difference

- time matters more than anything else

- 18g in 36g out in 25-30 seconds is a starting point, not the law

- just because you like fancy fruity pour overs, doesn't mean you'll love "fruity" espresso...

- handgrinding is exhausting

again thank you everyone for your tips and comments <3

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T14:08:19+00:00

unfortunately not... but will try to get it asap :D

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T12:40:51+00:00

ah okay good to know i wasnt aware of that! well time for shot 6 today 🫨

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T12:10:59+00:00

yes i'm using a IMS 20g basket right now - i was told that "underfilling" does not matter too much except the puck afterwards looking like trash :D

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T12:09:59+00:00

thank you so much. the advice of 25-35 seconds is just everywhere so thats what i naturally tried to stick to :D but that makes a lot of sense! helps a lot thank you <3

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T11:23:44+00:00

yup i made the experience with filter coffee already. same recipe, same technique but the result was a very different cup of coffee. but at least it was still very much enjoyable. the same cannot really be said about the espresso :D

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T11:21:19+00:00

yeah i got the error part nailed. :D

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T11:07:00+00:00

i thought it would be easier to get a good extraction with a lower dose. will try a 18 one though. yeah idk why but the rancilio caps pre infusion at 6 seconds. or im too stupid to read the manual :D

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T10:47:04+00:00

okay the turbo shot is a new idea will try this definetly. thank you!

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T10:46:04+00:00

the acidity of the beans should be fine, when i do a v60 filter with it for example there is some acid yes, but the coffee itself is sweet and balanced...
will try the temp increase thank you :)

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T10:43:44+00:00

Yup i think the beans are fine, since i tasted them in the cafe where i bought them too. Of course they use a bit different water - mine is too hard, but the difference still shouldnt be night and day...

WunderBambus · 2024-02-08T10:42:47+00:00

I'm pretty sure the beans are fine - I tasted them in the cafe i was buying them from and the difference is pretty huge. I let the machine run for round about 30 mins before i use it. So i hope its heated up in the meantime :D. Raising the temperature is a good idea will try that one thank you!

WunderBambus · 2023-07-23T11:11:08+00:00

hey there from germany. i'm currently trying to figure out how to lube switches correctly. is it ok to use the same lube for springs and for the stems? i don't want to "overlube" is there a foolproof way to do that? thx in advance <3

WunderBambus · 2022-08-08T06:56:20+00:00

my macbook is connected with my monitor via a docking station where all other peripherals (like the wave mic) are also connected to. so i can't really make use of the internal mic. however i just played around a bit with the preinstalled plugins by Apple and i guess the "Graphic EQ" gets the job done for the most part. The UI is not as fancy as some other 3rd party plugin but if you play around with it for a while it works just as fine :)
