  • Someone at the office brought a Gabi Dripper (or whatever the proper name is). Basically a Kalita Wave compatible filter holder, with a shower thingy on top that you just dump water into.

    I love that thing. It makes it stupid simple to brew good coffee, without faffing about, and if you want to take the time or experiment, you can still take the top off and do a manual pour.

    The way I see it: it’s an addition. I’ve seen posts about “does this defeat the purpose”, and I consider that silly gate keeping. The purpose is good coffee, yeah?












  • I’m actually still on my first ergo, a Lily58 (my first mechanical was a “regular” 75%). I was a bit on the fence between this and the Corne, and I think I would’ve been fine going with the Corne; I barely used the numrow and currently it’s not even mapped, and I’m experimenting with putting the things I had left on the outer columns on layers or combos.

    But regret… no, of course not. It’s been a great learning experience so far!

    I’ll certainly build more boards at some point, at least a Corne because, well, gotta build a Corne, but maybe some other things as well. Maybe a Charybdis or a Cygnus or something like that.



  • This sounds like it’d be exactly how I currently use Tumbleweed on my workstations: I don’t update daily, but rather every once in a while. I appreciate the new versions of things, but being on the daily bleeding edge is more work than I care to put in.

    I can also see this working quite nicely for those with nvidia hardware, where with TW you’d sometimes end up with a kernel too new for the drivers to get shoehorned in. A slightly easier-going pace would help there.

    It also reminds me of Android, where you have roughly monthly updates (theoretically) and every now and then a bigger one.






  • Als ik de bedrijven in dat artikel zo aan het woord hoor over “krapte op de arbeidsmarkt” en “diversiteit”, zegt de cynicus in mij “we nemen gewoon internationale studenten aan want die slikken blijkbaar nog dat we ze zo min mogelijk betalen”. Er is m.i. sowieso een verschil tussen “het personeel is het Engels machtig zodat een klant in die taal te woord kan worden gestaan” en “het personeel spreekt alleen maar Engels”. Dat tweede vind ik toch een mindere ontwikkeling, ondanks dat ik me persoonlijk prima in het Engels kan redden. Er zijn er genoeg (ook onder de 87,25 jaar) die dat niet kunnen.
