The 3P would be a little bit bigger due to the clicky switch and longer battery tube. (But, in practical terms, yeah it's the same ballpark.)

Moka is not-quite-espresso. It’s percolation brewing under pressure, but the pressure is much lower than what is now considered to be espresso. (But very similar to the earliest espresso machines from the first part of the 20th century)
It’s metal filtered, so like espresso and French press, you’re getting plenty of oils and fines. The beverage concentration normally falls in between the two. Not as thick as espresso but thicker than most other preparation methods, when comparing normal recipes at least.

I assume OP was using an unmodified camera. The hot mirrors (IR blocking filters) built into modern cameras are extremely efficient, so it takes a lot of exposure to get an image past them.

I got mine recently and have been playing a little bit of a lot of different stuff, but the thing I've put the most hours into has been Midnight Suns. I did not expect a Marvel game to my new favorite turn-based tactics deckbuilder, lol.
The stupid open world collectible part blows chunks, but the actual core gameplay is shockingly fun, if not perfectly tuned the way some deckbuilders are. The extremely weird lightweight high school dating sim / bioware relationship management aspect is very odd but produces some extremely funny interactions at times.

I wish someone would make a nice tented unisplit like this with an actual ergo layout.
 This one is interesting. It's medium funky and my first cup is a little harsh, so maybe next time I'll try a cooler water temp or something. The fruit notes are interesting and seem pretty complex, there's a lot going on there.

First off, if the coffee tastes good, you don't need to worry about hitting a certain time just to do it. But if you do want to:
I don't have this kind of machine, but I know that most folks say that single baskets are inherently difficult to work with, and you should just a double instead. That's not to say you shouldn't use the single, but maybe look for some single-basket tutorials that might have specific advice?

In terms of slowing down your shots, other than grinding finer, you can also increase your dose within a given basket.
Also, if your GCP is stock, then it might be worth doing the overpressure valve mod. By default, those machines have a really high pump pressure, and replacing OPV spring with a 9 bar or lower one is a very common mod for the GCP.

I’m also not interested in hand cranking so the grinder must have a timer/automatic setting
Most new "enthusiast"/community fave grinders are single dosing, mean you weigh the beans out and grind them until they're ground. Does that work for you or do you need a hopper-based timer setup?
Another factor to consider is whether you have a strong existing preference between conical and flat burrs, or for burrs that produce a particular style of coffee. (e.g., do you value "high clarity" or are you more concerned with body/texture)

Unsurprisingly given its extremely high profile as a purveyor of transphobic coverage, many mastodon instances have greeted them with a firm block. (If this confuses folks who don't pay attention to this sort of thing, just picture in your head if it was fox news.)

The question is, if there are instances that are full of transphobic content, and they're reported, does firefish defederate them. If they do, the view will improve. Although, global feeds are never very useful.

It's a "night vision" mode in a ruggedized mil-spec phone, so I assume it's supposed to be tactical or some garbage. But if it worked in daylight it would be a legit feature for me. (I have no idea if that's the case.) Also they could definitely sell units to the "ghost hunter" market, which is definitely a thing as I've bought a couple interesting 3D-printed IR lights targeted at them.

The actual issue is, that as an instance admin who had previously been in the loop for some time with #fediblock and other channels in which admins share this kind of info, folks expected him to already have disqordia blocked.
Also, it seems from his posts elsewhere that he actually was aware and didn’t care. Ample reason to defederate from .art’s perspective. (Firefish.social has subsequently silenced but not blocked disqordia)
All of this is relatively routine, the screenshot fabrication thing more unusual.

I posted a medium-short summary elsewhere with a couple of links for folks looking for slightly more context.
I don't think the eris or defederation things are Huge News in themselves, but if it's true he doctored a screenshot to make the .art admin look bad, that's not a good look for a lead deve/flagship instance admin.
.art is an influential leader in community safety/moderation standards in the fediverse; their standards for federation are moderately high, and probably higher than folks on many lemmy instances would likely agree with. But it feels like the firefish guy has possibly a pattern of not doing his homework about things in general?
Obviously the big question is, did he actually doctor screenshots and if so, WTF, man.

The iceshrimp fork actually came before the thing with .art broke and seemingly had to do with issues internal to the calckey development community. It's hard to say for sure what the situation was because most of the stuff on both sides was pretty vaguely stated.

So, the complicated bit about the fediverse is that there's not one "the space", there's thousands of different spaces from which bad actors would need to be ejected. And, of course, not everyone will agree on who constitutes a bad actor, in fact there's a huge range of different standards applied.
This leads to a situation where you just find out one day that some of your fediverse neighbors/acquaintances are hanging out with the nazi you blocked years ago. The nazi was out of sight out of mind to you because you had already blocked them, but if they're low-key and mostly post normal stuff, it's easy for your more casual neighbors not to notice. Not saying the parties involved here are nazis per se, just as a for instance.
The community uses the #fediblock hashtag to raise awareness of bad actors, primarily for the benefit of instance admins so they can update their block lists. There is a communal expectation that admins would be conversant with this.
There are also tools like these to aggregate that information, but currently it's hard to get much out of them in terms of complete and human-readable context. (They're primarily designed as tools to support instance admins rather than individual users.)
This whole thing is constantly happening on the fediverse and that part of the story would be completely unremarkable if the firefish dev wasn't running a flagship instance and developing software.
If, as an instance admin (who we know was even in the discord channel where the admins are discussing this stuff) wasn't keeping up with fediblock, that's a red flag for the instance. The fact that he was also (even accidentally) associating with far-right software dev people to host his code is also a red flag, because, why wouldn't you do some due diligence about that? (This should be a familiar issue to developers in this space, because, alas, there are a lot of nazi/nazi-adjacent people developing software that uses activitypub!)
Anyway, all of that doesn't necessarily make the firefish dev a bad guy, it just makes him look kind of like inspector fucking clouseau, you know?
If it's true that he's also doctoring screenshots to make another instance admin (who is a recognized leader in fediverse community moderation standards) look bad, then that elevates the issue A LOT, especially for someone who is trying to get a lot of folks to adopt his software.
Trying to follow everything is, as always, tricky without the ability to really search for stuff on Mastodon. 1. Calckey, which was a fork of Misskey, rebranded as "Firefish" (for which name choice they have been widely mocked; also there's already a software company under that name in the UK with a trademark, which could be...interesting) 1. This also I think was meant to be the start of a push for more popular adoption of the platform, which has just generally led to a lot of buzz and attention 2. [Apparently for some days the code was hosted on a far-right git host](https://social.cherrykitten.dev/notes/9hlnc3xleld23pac), which the main developer says they didn't know at the time; they eventually moved it somewhere else but didn't openly address the issue until later 3. Folks also noticed that the [dev was boosting posts by someone with a reputation for being problematic/racist](https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/110787367946264359) 4. [.art admin](https://dotart.blog/dotart-blog/suspending-firefish-social) removed the dev from a discord channel where instance admins share safety info, and says that subsequently the dev started circulating a fabricated screenshot regarding this. Also, that is all coming a couple of days after someone who had previously contributed to calckey forked firefish as iceshrimp (lol) citing being erased from the list of contributors I think and also saying that other folks were leaving that community because of toxicity/safety issues that weren't really elaborated on in what I saw. I don't have a link for this because it didn't happen today and you can't search for things on Mastodon. My sense at the time was that I had basically no way to evaluate the claims made on either side.

Yeah, aero press is generally considered to be an immersion brewer, rather than a drip/percolation brewer. It's functionally like a french press, but paper filtered.

A lot of money for a bag, but not necessarily overpriced; ILE bags are handmade in Berkeley and extremely good quality, and hand painting a whole bolt of fabric and then cutting it down and assembling it into a 3 dimensional object is a lot. I wonder what the durability is like, assuming people are going to actually carry it (more likely it will be a show piece) > Oakland-based artist Shogun Shido is an innovative creator who hails from New Orleans and uses art to explore the depths of introspection and observation.

Interesting, don't think I'd seen this particular bag before. The organization looks like it would be pretty nice to work with.
Someone just announced their new instance (unilem.org) with the intent to federate with absolutely everyone, which is a pretty classic reason to defederate. I don't know of a Lemmy equivalent to Mastodon's #fediblock tag yet, what's the best way to surface this? https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/923411

Truly ridiculous name. Anyway, this may be of interest for those who are looking for a single-dosing "all-purpose" grinder in the sub-$500 segment. Most grinders in this space are regarded as either being good for either filter _or_ espresso but not both, or else have a history of mechanical difficulties like the Varia VS3 and to a lesser extent the Lagom Mini.

Via Carryology. It's fun to see more experimental bag designs sometimes, and these are certainly unexpected. 
My RF native kit to date has consisted of the 16mm f/2.8 and the 50mm f/1.8, plus sundry adapted lenses. While I'm extremely pleased with the performance of both those lenses, I did recently find that for landscape-y type scenes I was doing a bit more lens swapping than ideal. So, after seeing that someone on flickr [had some good IR results](https://www.flickr.com/photos/195505948@N04/52968119421/) with the 15-30, I decided to give it a shot. (First time using a zoom lens in like a decade, I think.) Initial impressions are that it's usable, but not ideal. There's a hotspot that kicks in at f/11-ish. It's somewhat dependent on the scene, so I suspect a lens hood might help (I have one on order.) Overall contrast is a little low, which is no big deal, and at the wide end, the edges can get a bit funky, which is not uncommon for IR. (BTW, from what I could tell by trolling google, it looks like the 14-35 f/4 L has somewhat worse hotspot performance.)   Here's a hotspot comparison at f/8, 11, 16

[Link to the actual routine](https://youtu.be/Ed8w-RKhR5U) Not sure why Rowsell makes a big deal about the winner winning on "home brewing" gear. It's not like there are fancy ultra expensive drippers, and while the ZP6 is cheaper than the Comandante C40 (which, as I understand it, is a competition staple), it's not categorically different. (And through most of its short production lifespan, it's been harder to get than a C40, because it's usually out of stock.) I imagine this may re-fan some of the hype around the ZP6. (By the way, if you're in North America, looks like [Rogue Wave(https://www.roguewavecoffee.ca/products/1zpresso-zp6-special) still has it.)

Kolari IR Chrome filter on full-spectrum Canon RP, Canon RF16mm f/2.8 Stock/straight out of camera, the IR Chrome filter gives a pretty orange rendition to IR. Getting to a more traditional pink-magenta look requires a bit of color correction. Example correction in DXO:  The shift is easy, but it can get troublesome to apply in cases where there are visible orange or light brown objects in the scene. Untreated wood is particularly tricky and requires local edits.

May be of interest to the decaf enjoyers. Hard to find really interesting decaf. (My fav is Hydrangea's El Paraiso Decaf.) It's interesting that they gave it the same name as their lightest roast blend, but it's a medium roast ("moderate"). However, I don't know if that's just because decaf tends to roast a little visually darker.
