@tavisco we got a fairly nice espresso machine for extremely cheap on ebay, it already pulls pretty nice shots with a replaced portafilter and basket provided the grounds are properly fine enough (the consumer-grade portafilter it originally comes with is artificially pressurized to compensate for standard-fare grounds), but we suspect it's still coming out quite bitter because the water is too hot (models any cheaper than ~500 pounds have no temperature control, simply a cutoff thermostat)

@tavisco custom controller for an espresso machine mod for temperature PID and timer functions - really overkill but something to do to get it just the way we want.

right now there's code in place for everything regarding the screen, rotary encoder and thermocoupler, what's left to do is mostly a lot of UI work - i want to fill this up with pretty menus and pixel art. one of a kind kinda stuff

@elithebearded So while film has traditionally been fed from reel to reel, each frame moving vertically between openings of a shutter, you propose that we think of modern video more as a long rectangular sausage that is pushed forth and extruded from a hole?

I *think* I'm in?

i feel embarrassed to say that the board and the boilerplate software that has all the hardware enumerated (but doesn't really do much yet) took me the entire day. i used to be able to focus more

@SomaFMrusty@defcon.social if i buy a hoodie or something can you slip one of them in the package for me

@anna if for any reason you want mine, i need to offload things. i'll be back in Brazil for 2 months in November and i could ship it to you

@anna unrelated, i have a copy of Tannenbaum's "Computer Networks", huge tome, part of recommended reading for my university course. i graduated 4 years ago. never cracked it open

@anna just make sure what revision you're getting, don't remember off the top of my head which but there's a couple where, unless they ported new drivers, the 2.4ghz chipset doesn't work

@anna archer C7 is what i use at my apartment, depending on hardware revision it's a beast for openwrt

@anna favourite? probably not

how i learnt? get the cheapest router that supports openwrt and eat shit weekly when your setup fails
