My perfect coffee:

• fill bottle of the same volume as my press with water.
• pour ~10% of it in the electric kettle, and start it.
• put two (or three) full teaspoons of light roasted fine ground coffee in the press
• the water boiled. pour it into the press.
• put remaining cold water in kettle, start it again.
• shake the press a bit so coffee hydrates and foams. Cover the press.
• grab a coffee paper filter (circle) fold it in "pizza-like" shape 4 times and cut the outer skirt, so the new radius is about 1cm larger than the press filter.
• rest of the water is boiling now, pre-water+coffee mix has no foam. Fill press with water.
• put the paper filter on top, and insert the plunger so that along all the inner circumference, the paper filter is between the press inner wall and the plunger.
• press the coffee very slowly, don't rush it at all. It will take you a solid minute or a bit more.

Now you have crystal, non acidic, and flavorful golden coffee. I usually pour a cup immediately, and put the rest in an all-metal insulated little bottle.

I divide the water in two parts to quickly get rid of the foam under the paper filter. Foam makes the pressing way slower. If you have time, you can immediately boil the whole water volume, but leave the coffee mix covered for 5-10 mins and the foam will be gone by then.

I found professor Glenn Diesen in Youtube and his delightful interviews with experts in geopolitics.

His interviews, although high quality, clean and very rational sounding, are clearly bias towards Russian or at least Russian friendly points of view. He is, after all, professor of Russian internationals affairs.

My question: Is there something like Diesen's interviews (the format, bringing global experts and just letting them talk) with a host more specialized on the western point of view?

Although interesting, I don't think hearing only prof. Diesen is a balanced approach to understand geopolitics. Hence my question.

Thanks.

Do we have something like that sub, here in Lemmy?

In Voyager I see that posts can be sorted by:

• hot
• active
• top (some time range)
• controversial
• something else that I never pay attention to.

What are the definitions of these criteria?

I kind of get them all except hot vs active. What is measured?

Noob here. This is probably the most repeated question, but I don't know the technical terms to make the appropiate digging online, and thought of asking humans before slopping my way around.

I don't trust my ISP or the government above it.

The ISP remotely manages the local network! So I installed a router of my own and my devices only to that one.

I would like to encrypt (?) anything that goes out of my own router, so my ISP doesn't evesdrop what I'm doing even if they want to (I know I know... if they really wanted, they could just send friends to my house).

Using Linux, Android GOS, and Pihole. They live under a "picked-up-from-a-shelf" router; and that router under theirs.

(I cannot get a different ISP)

Thanks

Slap that video!

To go deeper: some animals act curiously, others with fear, but only a few of them understand what the mirror does and use it to inspect themselves.

Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.

(Edit: I know you have heard that line 1000 times, but this, I mean it. I have been thinking the whole day about this video. I deeply respect this youtuber, and well... Just watch it.)

I am looking for an online resource to learn finances/economics/investment from the ground up.

I am using those three words because I do not know the difference quite well. The bottom line is that I want to learn how money works, and stop "selling my time for money" (working for some employer). Maybe starting a business, investing in real state, or stock market, maybe another route that I don't even see...

• I am looking for content ideally free, but good material deserves to be paid too.
• Progressive complexity starting from little or no assumptions: several youtubers have all-over-the-place topics that they comment on, assuming you know what they are talking about.
• Perhaps a book or series of books is the solution to this? Or an online course? But you know, every "money bro" says they have the best book/course ever.

thanks for your comments :)

Hi, I teach a CS course, and I was wondering if there is a practical way in which to setup a server that would accept student's tar files, run some tests, and show them the results.

I could go "full unix mode" and roll up some accounts let them ssh into a server, scp their their files.... but I was wondering if there is a prepacked solution for this that is nicer to the eye. And I thought maybe you know some.
