  • Are *buntu flavors risky for my workstation? Should I be considering Fedora?

    Why would they be risky? O.o They’re the preferred workstation setup at my place because Ubuntu is spread enough that it can be relied upon to be the distro admins have the most experience with (which is a self-perpetuating thing, I am aware).

    Oh yeah that’s kinda my vibe, too. I’d just want to know how it looks inside, anyways.

    I will say from experience that if anybody here owns a Melitta Smart TS, as amazing as that machine is for the 620€ I paid for it considering it keeps up with the 2k Siemens machine, you do need to unscrew the metal plate behind the brewing unit and hold your gag reflex if you never did that before, they made a mistake with the large opening above it and ground coffee can fall in and will slowly get moist and rot in there. Luckily nowhere near the brewing actually, but such a weird blunder to do with an otherwise well-designed machine. I was wondering where that smell came from…

    Yeah definitely, plus people give drip coffee a bad name because it’s not “posh” enough, as if it isn’t one of the best balances of coffee qualities you can achieve. It’s not like espresso coffee was invented because it’s “better”, it’s just very quick + semi-automated to produce a shot and hence economical for coffee shops and bakeries.

    Plus drip coffee systems are, like you say, insanely simple. Which is a good thing!

    A good coffee machine should last at least decades ❤️.

    Again, depending on usage. How about you give it as a more useful metric. Servings and sit-time. Those determine how long your machine lasts.

    And well if we’re talking a simple drip-coffee machine, they’re 10€, you’re not going to maintain or repair them no matter how much someone else might think you ought to, you’ll just get a new one. A 2000€-5000€ automated two-bean-tank coffee maker is a wholly different thing, of course.








  • Unfortunately, governments are notorious for abusing such trust.

    Source? Because that assumes that this is the normality. Which is interesting as a statement, although of course it massively depends on your local government, but not everyone lives in Syria or so.

    This always gets carted out, and yet then people always have to point at the same dozen or so big things in hundreds of years of gov history, and never mention the possibly billions of non-abused trust moments in the same space of time.


  • For profit fire fighters! Response times go up because there are a lot of firefighters now! Your house burns because you have bad credit or couldn’t pay your bill. A firefighter may have set that fire to drive more business. conclusion: Fire fighting should NOT be profit driven.

    No like the fire brigade in Discworld: If you don’t pay them, they set your house on fire!
