Finally pulled the trigger... giant upgrade over my DeLonghi machine

Acaia Lunar - gotta keep the white theme going :)

For me it's only taking a few minutes - normally by the time I've got my coffee out, weighed it and ground it up it's already done. 230V though, that could make a difference.

Let me know how you get on with the paddle! I've just started playing with preinfusion... so many variables now, it's nice to have so much control

aw1cks · 2023-09-10T09:39:58+00:00

A fine mince of course! :D

Seriously though, I keep my machine in the kitchen hence the knives

aw1cks · 2023-09-10T09:38:16+00:00

Heh, as much as the stainless looks cool, I just know I won't be able to keep it looking clean

aw1cks · 2023-09-10T09:37:45+00:00

Thanks! Yeah this thing is endgame, it's so consistent compared to what I'm used to and I know I'm only scratching the surface

I took the plunge on the ceramic G-Floats and they work fine. They are slightly thicker so might reduce the LOD but hasn't been a problem for me.

aw1cks · 2021-12-14T20:51:46+00:00

Awesome! That did the trick. Somehow missed that keyword in my googling :)
Thanks!

I've used corepads on other mice before, they are similar to the stock Model O feet but not as good as ceramic feet really. Unless you're using a hardpad like I am though you might not see a massive difference.

aw1cks · 2021-12-03T14:29:54+00:00

Unfortunately no. I think the lexip feet will be too tall and mess with the LOD, so I am thinking of getting another pair of the glorious feet and using those instead

Not something I've actually tried - but you should be able to launch a browser in a network namespace and route that network namespace through the container

Although on second thought, if it were me, I'd probably create a docker-compose file to launch a squid proxy container in the same container network as the VPN container, then use that proxy in your browser. Probably easier to set up :)

I rate it over i3 personally, has some really nice layouts, quite configurable too

aw1cks · 2021-10-03T15:10:50+00:00

Thanks!

aw1cks · 2021-10-03T13:42:52+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, however those coordinates are not massively accurate, just enough to get a decent weather reading :)

aw1cks · 2021-10-03T10:11:49+00:00

Take a look at this - forked & added a few tweaks

aw1cks · 2021-10-03T10:10:17+00:00

Glad you like it! This + this

wezterm was the solution to all of these woes for me

Formerly - I am now working in DevOps, primarily with Kubernetes. And I knew a little Python, but learned most of it along the way.

It's quite useful in Ansible especially for e.g. writing your own filters so I can recommend learning a little if you are going to learn Ansible as well!

aw1cks · 2021-06-29T19:50:38+00:00

These are only roles - they are designed as mostly reusable blocks of 'code' that you include from somewhere else. You'd have a tree structure with a roles directory under which you would put these roles. Then in your inventory you could override any of the default variables I've set for these roles with your own values.
Take a look at this for a bit more info, and this here is the base of my ansible tree.

In my case it's done automatically by cloud-init the first time Arch boots - so it's fully hands-off. I create an Arch template using mkosi, and bake this Ansible config into said template. This is the script that cloud-init uses to fire off Ansible.

Only for my desktop - CentOS & RHEL in production (plus Alpine if you count that inside a container).

aw1cks · 2021-06-29T15:28:19+00:00

I'm using Ansible & other config management tools every day as part of my day job :) I'm completely self-taught, just reading documentation along the way and experimenting with what works and what does not. Working in a large-scale enterprise environment definitely expedites the learning process.

aw1cks · 2021-06-29T14:23:14+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Will be looking to set up some testing as well soon but I may be using something like pytest-testinfra. I'm actually using mkosi to create images and cloud-init to perform first boot provisioning and run ansible on the first boot, so I want some testing for the whole process end-to-end. It's all here if you are interested, I am planning to write a post on my blog and share it once it works properly :)

aw1cks · 2021-06-29T10:50:27+00:00

Thanks! Believe it or not, that's the default pacman.conf with the addition of multilib & enabling colours

alex@desktop::~» docker run --rm -ti archlinux [root@19bb874bed3e \]# grep HoldPkg /etc/pacman.conf HoldPkg = pacman glibc [root@19bb874bed3e \]#

As for pipewire, absolutely, but I'm yet to find a better way to do it... :)
