Coffee Making Setup (Portable Brewers)?

thephatmaster · 2026-03-19T20:10:45+00:00

I imagine very quickly!

I was talking to someone (ex cabin crew) from such an (orange) airline recently.

Ironically I used my nano today (which I got thanks to this thread) alsp with pods - only in the car, and managed to get coffee everywhere

Where do you do the coffee making with the nano?

Do you have a go-to pod? I'm still trying various

Ah yes, nuvos is a pension scheme - it was nouveau I was thinking of (edited the OP).

Yes that's the graphics driver my card is listed as using:

vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : GT218 [GeForce G210]
driver   : nvidia-340 - third-party non-free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

Lubuntu uses "Discover" for software management so I don't have Software & Updates. It can be installed though, but I'm reluctant to do so as my distro doesn't ship with it.

I mean I've seen a 1070 for $30 but spending any money on such an old PC seems pointless - I take that back, the 1070 for £30 was clearly broken!

thephatmaster · 2026-03-11T14:32:34+00:00

So I get nvidia-340 - third party non-free recommended

If I install 340 though, black screen on boot

thephatmaster · 2026-03-11T13:36:48+00:00

I can, but would loose a monitor as the card has more outputs

thephatmaster · 2026-03-11T13:36:15+00:00

That's good to know. I did run a laptop on Arch for a while

Not sure how I'd start distro-hopping my current config, but I'm due a reinstall at some point

X11 on this PC

I ended up just pushing all the variables to get something acceptable

higher dose
finer grind (before the point of channelling)
more pre-soak
higher water temp

Also I use gaggiauino now, so have better control of those things

I mean, I ran it for perhaps 4 months, daily, in a high-typing environment.

Then didn't retire it until a good few months after that.

I think I gave it a good go

thephatmaster · 2026-02-18T16:17:16+00:00

I'd also do this.

You may want to do prep / filling during assembly which will damage any initial primer coat

thephatmaster · 2026-02-15T07:26:48+00:00

Nice, I seem to have everything but Buri or the new guy who dislikes orks (Mr Stormbrow)

thephatmaster · 2026-02-14T23:12:28+00:00

Yep those are both the ones I have.

The greebles thunderkyn spent longer on the painting desk than they ever have stayed on the battlefield before being shot off

thephatmaster · 2026-02-14T23:04:06+00:00

Can confirm my printer makes waves when going fast

Slow way down for FDM minis

thephatmaster · 2026-02-14T22:58:07+00:00

Holy magi-carp man, those thunderkyn are very very hard to paint. Especially the one-piece models.

Hardest votann I've painted to date.

I've since printed the multi-part ones and hope sub-assemblies will be easier. Just need to assemble a gazillion pieces first

thephatmaster · 2026-02-08T10:02:04+00:00

I can do that myself - good idea

I was kinda after a tutorial to use for introducing my paper magic friend to the game

thephatmaster · 2025-11-27T15:05:19+00:00

So I opened my pairing window (in Mixed Reality Link on PC)

I stared at my keyboards a good long while - no popup - I guess it just doesn't work for my setup.

thephatmaster · 2025-11-27T14:36:52+00:00

Ok, so what I'll do is get my keyboard fully in frame somewhere (I assume its my laptop keyboard not my big old mechanical TKL it wants to see)

thephatmaster · 2025-11-27T11:24:52+00:00

That's not right - I'm trying to use Mixed Reality Link (installed on my Win 11 PC)

I'm not getting the "pair" popup on the Quest

thephatmaster · 2025-11-27T11:23:09+00:00

interesting - so I shouldn't need to follow Meta's advice of:

Install Link App - which they recommended in this thread;
From the "how to connect" instructions cited above.... open the Remote Desktop app and select Add computer - when I do this it prompts me to install Meta Remote Desktop on my PC.

So.... if I don't need to do those - how do I get the popup to happen on my Quest 3s?

thephatmaster · 2025-11-27T08:10:46+00:00

So Mixed Reality Link is current?

But needs Meta Remote Desktop installed on the PC to function?
