Thanks ! I've seen many times that using the proper bottled water helps a great deal too I'll probably try out of curiosity, and will report here if I do feel a difference.

    Hi!

    After lurking for a while, and asking for advice here a couple times, I finally bought a grinder.

    It's a Timemore C2S, I know it's not the best out there, but I'm coming from an old blade grinder (see pic below).

    I got it yesterday and tried it immediately. Of course I made 2 cups to compare with coffee as I've been drinking it so far, and the difference is very noticeable.

    To sum up the experience very quickly, grinding is pretty fast, pour over is much faster too, clarity is clearly better, and what struck me tastewise was that I could taste the acidity a lot more.

    Now I have to try different settings to see what suits me best, but I'm very pleased to so far.

    But also I have a question for time more owners: how do you estimate coarseness? The spec mentions "approx 36 levels", but when I count from the screw fully screwed until it comes off, there are more than 60 clicks. Also the notice mentions that we should not grind between 0 and 6 clicks, but then what's the purpose of having those clicks?

    Cheers!

    Exactly. Kids are just a shitty excuse, same goes for the whole Chat Control project.

    There are so many other ways of working on a sefer internet for kids, such as regulation on the social medias companies themselves, forcing them to make the algo open source, preventing them from promoting toxic content etc...

    Yeah they're also making it illegal to access social media if you're under 15 so they're gonna have to enter their ID soon to access most websites. Sooo it doesn't even start to make it even.

    Hi,

    I've been wanting to upgrade my electrical blade grinder for a while but can't find an affordable second hand 1zpresso, so I narrowed my choice down to Kingrinder P1 which I can easily get (but I'd have to buy on amazon, which makes me uncomfortable), or Timemore C2S that I can find second hand here.

    So here i am again, asking for your advice/reviewa before buying!

    Thanks and cheers,

    Most of the other reply go the same way, so I really appreciate all of you taking the time to write detailed messages, I have many resources/services I can check to take my first steps into self hosting now.

    That is good advice, and I do trust reliable services over my poor skills. I understand self hosting emails is out of reach, but I think I'll still give self hosting a try for smaller things.

    Hi,

    The last google product that is use is gmail, and while searching for a solid alternative, many threads mentionned self hosting, which has been on my mind for a little while but here is what's stopping me so far: 1/ it sounds like a single point vulnerability 2/ I lack the skills.

    As for #2, I've been down the privacy rabbithole for a couple years now, I know there are a lot of resources out there and I'm not afraid to learn, I just don't know where to start.

    But I don't see the point in learning if in the end, I just build a server that could die in a domestic accident, resulting in me loosing a lot of important data.

    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated,

    Hi,

    I need to leave my country for a couple days, but my cellphone plan doesn't cover data oversea and I don't like to rely on WiFi. A relative suggested that I try Saily, which is an esim provider that you can load with whatever you need in the country you're visiting but I'm again reluctant to use an app when I don't know how trustworthy it is.

    Has anyone ever faced the same issue? Should I simply let go of my internet connexion and enjoy a couple days off the the internet?

    Cheers and thanks for your help
