Since it’s not active, it looks to just be geo based as changing my VPN location makes it work… This was my first time visiting the website and it was showing someone opening an egg he boiled for 2 hours… 💀

I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn’t search as hard as you I think.

The Stumptown aeropress video will give you an idea of using it while camping.

I pan roast and it makes pretty tasty coffee, but doesn’t work well as an espresso bean. For that I stick with something professionally done. I don’t think I would invest in roasting beyond what I’ve done. It’s a good way to understand more about the process/journey that beans undergo.

Next time in South Cali check out Philz coffee. It’s pour over and an interesting menu.

Have you considered roasting beans?

I also started my journey of coffee fun not too long ago. My journey started when I wanted a manual process to replace my drip machine. The gateway drug was the aeropress. I love how quick that think makes a great cup, but the v60 can’t be beat.

I picked Toshiba drives personally. However, I know of a bunch of WD reds running for years with no issues.

I think since the nas cases aren’t insolated for sound, your going to hear them moving that head around…

Have you considered an ssd populated nas? It does cost more however :(

Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.

You mean run wires?

While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.

Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.

Yes.

Use a custom launcher. I use Flauncher as my home page so it only has jellyfin visible. No ads ever.

I popped on the SNES with my Super Gameboy cartage for a visiting kid that’s like 7 and he was amazed playing Super Mario World 2. It was a whole new game for him. I wish I could get a cheap working gameboy for kids today, the used market is scam now with the prices people are doing.

You can theme Kodi to look pretty close to Netflix, but not out of the box. As my library doesn’t update too often, I can live with the slower refresh as it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make for the ability to play everything in my library.

Really, for the moat compatibility, a PC with a wireless keyboard is going to 100% of the time work with subtitles.

I switched to Kodi on my Chromecast 4K to fix most of my video playback issues. However, I still have a few cases where Kodi can’t decode the subtitle track, so I use subtitle edit to extract out the srt. Also, getting Kodi to always play subs is tricky, so I remapped the up key on the remote to always enable subs.

Kodi is also slower to show library updates on start, maybe a minute or so later and then it’s don’t with the sync. Maybe I didn’t setup something correctly… Anyway, give it a try. On my Sony with google tv the jellyfin app is great.

Have you tried Kodi?

If it just language add the audio track to one of the mkvs. Ignore me I see your episodes are different cuts.

I found using Kodi helped resolve video codec support in my case. It was for AV1 nlon the Chromecast 4k, which doesn’t support AV1, it seems to mostly work for smaller AV1 encodes. I guess it is using software decoding.

I’m doing the frying pan method, I go a few minutes after first crack. Still, these beans may be too lite for an espresso machine that’s under $100. My personal pick is the ninja machine, I’m saving up for it.

About the grinder, you want to check reviews and various sites for what’s a decent one. I like the encore I have (ESP) due to easy cleaning and ordering of replacement parts.

I used a spice grinder (blade) for a while, but made the switch and can’t go back.

The encore is great for its price. You can also upgrade the standard to the esp burrs. However, it does take up space.

Side question, what’s your roasting process?

On topic: As others have said. Investing in a proper grinder may be the next step instead of an espresso machine.

Encoding to AV1 is good to cooking CPUs.
