I just love those old OS designs. Mostly Windows 3.11 and AmigaOS 3.2
This looks like motif which IMO is comfy asf
You might be right. Anyway, Motif was nice too.
Amiga 3.2 is a quite new release (although it still looks much like 3.1)
From 2021, to be exact.
I don’t, but this one is a exception. Not too much visual clutter and also more accessible than most modern themes.
Hot coffee in your area!
At first I thought why not use a float level, then I thought oh right that’ll be disgusting to have floating in the shared coffee.
FYI : Kodak patented the digital camera in 1975 but film and paper were too profitable
If you step back and look at every company out there, we could probably either determine they have no purpose to the greater good of humanity or they chose to ignore a new invention because they are not even close to done making money on the current one. Could you imagine where we’d be if we progressed on improving a technology because it was a better option?
Capitalism sucks. It sucks for the planet.
But hey, I made 5 trillion dollars on a stock today, so there’s that /s
20+ years ago Colgate bought and shelved a patent for an antibacterial mouthwash that only targeted bacteria that erode enamel.

Necessity is the mother of invention
Thanks to a couple of programmers their love for coffee future historians can now build a direct time line from colonialism to e-girls.
Yet another invention driven by laziness.
Personally, I prefer laziness as a motivator over greed. It’s much more likely to lead to low maintenance solutions that still keep maintenance as an option over replacement.
Though I’ve curated my laziness to the point where I’ll do chores out of laziness becuase I know they’ll be more work later.
But I’d also spend 2 days writing a script to avoid spending 2 hours doing something tedious.

“Coffee” was also the name of the first OnlyFans model to use a Webcam.
CAFEBABE
Oh I like this. It’s on the cusp of being fake or fact. I’m never going to fact check and I don’t want to know.
Sorry but webcams are older than OF. There would have been many OF models that were already doing webcamming.
Nah but it was the first OF person. There was Chaturbate and other webcam platforms prior but not OF. So Coffee was the first OF. It’s a fact.
You can/could also find Coffee HOWTO in your distro’s HOWTO package. (I found a reference back to v0.5 of the document in 1998.)
Has simple schematics.to get you started for the hardware, using the parallel port to toggle relays.
It’s a very neat little document, and inspired me to write a simple kernel module so I could
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/whatever/coffee0to turn pin 0 high on the parallel port. (This is silly, and it’s much easier to just do things in user space!)Me and My 3d printer thank you
Isn’t that also where “HTTP 418: I’m a teapot” came from?
Though that could have been a reference, iirc that was an unrelated April fools RFC that was filed as a partial complaint people were creating overly specific http status codes
Too much tech for me, I alway French Press my coffee on the go in a more ecologic way.
I do cowboy coffee now. Mix finely ground with hot water, stir ot, it settles in a couple minutes, pour off liquid. Way easier.
French Press is faster, mix ground with hot water, push down the plunger, coffee ready. In the morning I’m not capable to do something more complicated or waiting minutes for my coffee.
It’s less work than a french press. I am seriously the laziest person in the world when I first wake up and I find it easier. It takes me a couple minutes to get situated to read with my coffee anyway.
You are supposed to wait a few minutes before plunging and decanting French press though. If you are just pressing it and serving your French press coffee must be absolutely terrible.
A decent drip maker with a timer will make better coffee than you are making and also be less work on top of it. Wake up to fresh hot coffee, done
It’s a myth, no need to wait in a French Press. I also thought it at the beginning as newbe with it, but there are no differences, except that the coffee isn’t hot anymore waiting several minutes. the pressure of your hand is enough to extract the aroma of the coffee, similar to the pressure do it the water pressure in an italian expresso can, the difference that there the water pression is against the coffee, not the coffee against the water in the french press.
That’s absolutely false. I have personally tested a range of different steep times and the difference in taste is obvious. If you can’t taste the difference your taste buds must be fried or something.
Pressing down on the piston does not provide a meaningful amount of pressure; this has been proven by people instrumenting aeropresses which provide more back pressure than an espresso. Extraction is objectively time dependent, it has been extensively discussed and really isn’t up for debate at all.
I would do that, but called it Turkish coffee. Get it ground that way.
I have a camera aimed at my stove so I can check if I accidentally left the stove on. It never happens but it does give me peace of mind whenever I leave the hoose and get paranoid.
Tangentially, I often wonder if technology has increased paranoia.
I can imagine someone worried about people following them might notice a lot more ear pieces, or if the increased knowledge of them has made that kind of fear decrease.
Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.
Come up with a way such that i dont have to take apart the stove and im listening.
Definitely don’t have to take anything apart. If you can’t use a smart plug on the outlet, A zigbee temperature sensor mounted above or near the range would do the trick. There’s also methane/gas detectors.
If you’ve never used Home Assistant, it’s open source and completely local, and super easy to get going. You can automate nearly everything, so getting phone notifications or persistent temp reminders would be a breeze. Let me know if you have questions about that part. I’m by no means an expert, but I’ve been slowly automating everything in my house and it’s been great.I’m using home assistant for the photos right now. The problem with a temp sensor is that it could stay hot after a while even if the stove is off.
Would a methane gas detector work if the flame was on?
Why do modern stoves/ovens have in multiple ways problematic smart stuff, but no proximity sensor?
An oven is one of the few things I can actually see having an app for being useful. Preheating the oven remotely and getting notified when it is ready sounds really useful.
My stove is a dumb stove. But I’d imagine the reason they dont have it on a smart stove is often times you need to leave things to cook for a while. Eg. Pasta, stews, soups, etc.
You know I replaced that with a static image years ago, right?
Yea, but the image was goatse, so we knew pretty quick who did what.
I was thinking to install a “smart” power outlet for the very same purpose, but stoves don’t have exactly standard plugs ;)
Then again, we just moved to a flat with induction stove, where it’s not really a big deal.
Our stove is gas unfortunately. It came with the place and it’s wasteful to replace it if it works so I’m stuck with it for a while :/
I put a Shelly uno in mine on the wire that runs thru the control lock buzzer. I used it to turn on the exhaust fan, but you could also set up an alert.
If your range doesn’t have the buzzer, you could retrofit the switches with ones that have the contacts for it.

whenever I leave the hoose
Canadian, eh?
I am. How could you tell? /s
So, you’re not Scottish then…
I got a 360° one to fuck with my cat >:)
The Trojan Room coffee pot camera existed before the web existed. Before the web it was a client/server protocol on a local network. They only made it into a webcam after the web was invented and started supporting images.
What I remember is that when the first web browsers capable of displaying images were launched, people found a way to sample a single frame from a camera and load it into an image tag to get an extremely slow frame rate camera. People had been trying to make video calling a thing since the 1960s, and I think the first “webcams” were new attempts to demonstrate that. They basically came out at the same time as XCoffee being available on the Internet, but they had more publicity behind them. IMO, what made the coffee pot special was that it was so clearly useless to everybody except a few people in a lab in Cambridge. It was revolutionary that bandwidth and camera hardware was so cheap that someone could allow anybody on the planet to just check out the level of their coffee machine on demand at any time.
I don’t understand why they don’t just accept free walks
Lol, found a non dev
If it was physical I’d understand. As an engineer I’ll takr any excuse to build something. But I also need my boss off my ass about taking another walk, I can’t think sitting still
