  • To be fair… it is not like this is a brand new thing. Traditionally email and other services like hosting and nntp were included with your hosting account. Although webmail and the tv crowd broke those expectations, I think we can expect a similar solution.

    I have a mastodon account on a server hosted by a podcast that we all support. I can see a similar solution for all the many other interests and groups we involve ourselves in. Such as local LUGs, or any other number of groups/clubs that already are funded by their members and provide services for them.

    At scale, I can’t imagine it will cost much.





  • I bought a Kyocera brand of this model over a decade ago and I still use it often as my only coffee grinder. Simple and functional design. Easy to adjust courseness with a simple nut on a screw. Not much here to break other than the rim of the glass jar when I have hit it with the ceramic burr. But the jars are the standard canning jar size and are easy to replace or swap with something bigger.

    I spent almost $30 on mine back in the day. But Kyocera is a japanese company. Looks like the product has been cloned by several chinese companies now and is going for almost half what I paid. Of course the quality could be lower than mine, but it is a really simple design, so I don’t think I’d worry about it. If I needed another, I’d buy one of these off brand versions.

    Also… I’ve made grind for everything from french press, cold brew and super fine for espresso with this grinder. I started with a fancy electric one which died in a few years, but never replaced it because spending a couple minutes grinding manually helps wake you up as well.
