  • Get a good espresso grinder (hand grinders are fine, as long as they're made for espresso. No Chinese knockoffs. Yes, they look the same. Yes, they're much cheaper. They're almost always worse.

    Get good water. Reverse osmosis water is good enough, cheap, and readily available. They make purpose-built espresso water, but it's expensive. It is, admittedly, much better, but if your budget is tighter, spend that money on the grinder, and use RO water.

    Clean your machine. It looks very dirty from the picture. Keep every part that touches the product consistently clean.

    Let the machine, filter basket, and the portafilter heat up on the group head for at least 5 minutes before you add the grinds and pull the shots. It makes a difference.

  • Grinder and water. Reverse osmosis water is "good enough", despite what anyone else might tell you. It's cheap and works almost as good as purpose-built water 4x the price. First, as Zoldyck said, focus on the grinder. Use RO water for now, as you spend your budget on that grinder.

  • Not to be "that lemming", but, please do. Super interesting.

  • I was "required" to use duo. Okta worked fine. Might be the same in your situation, might be worth a looksee.

  • You're going to get membership at a bigbox store? I'm not sure Dwight would approve...

  • Wherever you stand on the reason for this change, you can't deny that these themes are gorgeous.

  • Is this ai generated or just poorly edited? Lol

  • **for now. Until we change our mind. We reserve the right to change our minds at any point and without notice.

  • That'll be the one movie they decide to show no prescreening ads lol

  • If all you're building, and all you'll ever use this for, is a NAS, the simplest route is TrueNAS.

    Personally, I am not a fan of docker for prod, as one bad update or config can bring the entire forest down. Same for LXC.

    If you want, plan, or think you might want, to use the baremetal host for other services, proxmox is the way to go. Think VMware, but not run by a greedy evil empire. With your planned hardware, you can run two full services comfortably, or up to 4 mini services. Increase ram to 32gb, and you open up your world to a some really cool possibilities.

    Again, it all depends with where you want to go, not just where you are now.

  • The downvotes lead me to believe a not insignificant number of people don’t understand how energy works.

    The number of people electrocuting themselves doing stupid stuff leads me to believe this, but these downvotes help solidify that lol

  • I disagree. There is something there... Delusion
