Now you can focus on anything while giving up nothing, with simple, cheap optics

 

I don't have an espresso machine, but this looks very interesting.

It's not just browser though, sharing links from apps also generate these URLs. A lot of people then share these links through chat apps.

I do realize that most people are not aware of it, that's why I said this is more of a rant. Just want to vent to fellow privacy minded people.

Some apps are hiding it behind shortened URLs. So it looks clean, but if you expand it, then oh boy.

Nice. I personally prefer using this one: https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker

 

I see a lot of people, including friends and family, sharing URLs rife with tracking parameters.

I feel alone in making sure that I'm sharing the cleanest possible URLs to others. For example, checking if the URLs are shortened to hide plenty of tracking params.

Just need to vent, thanks for reading.

Edit: adding some context for future references.

By using url tracking params, tech companies can track who shares the content and who clicks on that specific shared urls. A simple but effective tracking method.

Try sharing Instagram post or YouTube video from the apps.

Instagram adds 'igshid=' . YouTube adds 'si='.

If you share the same IG or YouTube content from different accounts. The 'igshid', 'si' value will be different.

This can be used to tag who shares it, and who clicks on that specific url param value.

TikTok hides a ton of such params behind shortened url. Try expanding tiktok shared urls.

If you use android, use this app to expand, analyze and clean up urls https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker

If you use Firefox (you should), install ublock origin and add this url tracking filter maintained by adguard: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistry/master/filters/filter_17_TrackParam/filter.txt

Kayanya ini bakal viral sih. Semoga segede kasus Mario juga.

There are services like https://nextdns.io/ that makes it super easy to use DNS-based tracker blocking on most devices.

Which one did you order? The v3 or the updated v3 or v4?

For brewers like v60, aeropress, hario switch, orea, they're typically very easy and quick to clean. The coffee grounds are being held by the paper filters. Just toss the filter and coffee grounds to the bin and rinse the brewer. With aeropress you just need to rinse the plunger.

In terms of time. It really depends on the brewer and pouring method of choice.

With immersion brewers (aeropress, hario switch, pulsar, etc), longer steep time usually means tastier brews, but it's not mandatory. 2-3 minutes is normally fine, but there's an aeropress recipe where you steep for 9 minutes. Immersion brewers are typically very forgiving and can give you tasty cups of coffee consistently. You can just set a timer and then clean your grinder or prepare breakfast or doing something else in the mean time haha

With percolation brewers (v60, orea, kalita, april, etc), you might want to do multiple pours to get the taste you want. For example, 5 pours of 50ml. So you don't just stand there doing nothing. There are plenty of different recipes with different pouring structures that can give you different cups of coffee. Great for experimenting.

And what does "normal coffee maker" mean in this context? Espresso maker? But normally strong or weak coffee depends on a lot of things. Coffee to brew water ratio, roast level, water temperature, etc.

 
  • Double walled glass. Great for people who don't like plastic. Should also offer great heat retention.

  • Big drip holes, kinda similar to Orea. Should be a fast brewer.

  • Smooth wall. Should be able to negotiate paper filters like the Orea. Although the wall angle seems to be different.

I'm personally intrigued, but I already have too many brewers, kinda hard to justify the purchase lol

Wrong sub, but the book sounds interesting.

Just install nitter.net as web app.

For local gallery. Simple gallery is better.

But for searching your photos, Google photos is still pretty great.

Maps and Photos are ok IMO. Slowly getting shittier though.
