I just fill my insulated tumbler all the way to the top with ice and I get a perfect amount of coffee. It stops right where the lid goes on top.

However, if you were going to do it the normal way it would indeed be about 300g of ice. Then you'd put that over fresh ice (bigger pieces so it doesn't dilute as much?).

I'm just lazy and also don't want to use a second container so I just do it my way.

$32 USD a month for 2 lbs (0.9 kg) from a local roaster. Not the most economical, but they do a decent job of roasting.

I do pour over iced coffee (aka Japanese Iced Coffee) using a Hario V60. 35g coffee and 300g water brewed over ice (dilutes the rest of the way and chills the coffee) and I'm good to go.

I think it depends on the volume you intend. I got it for self hosting some things with no problems.

Someone more knowledge than me can correct me, but I'm pretty sure you could buy a newer bigger drive to replace an older drive. You obviously wouldn't get the full capacity as it would be limited by the other older slower drives. However, you would get a, theoretically, more reliable drive than a random one on eBay. Then as you replace older drives eventually you could have increased size.

Caveat is that it will put stress on the old drive to rebuild, however you'd get that with any drive you put in. General wisdom I saw says to replace all the drives. Although that can be expensive.

I'm any case make sure you have a backup before you do any of the changes.

I was thinking a few strokes of a razor away from looking like a certain fascist.

No see the first one is a bribe, the second one is a job. I'm paying you for your time! /s

We could have easily replaced the phone with a magazine, newspaper, or book and chili cheese dog with some other item, and then this story could have been anywhere in the last 200 years.

Case Recommendations (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm having a hard time figuring out what case I want to get. Part of me thinks hot swap bays would be nice (I've had a drive failure and figuring out which one would have been 10x easier with hot swap). Of course in the future I'll have labels with S/N on the drives so it's easier to find the drive.

So provide me any case recommendations with 8+ drive bays if internal, and 6+ if hot swap. (I have a 5 drive pool now, but want to be semi future-proof).

Turntable suggestions (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Currently looking at getting a turntable to get into vinyl. I'm looking to spend no more than maybe $500 (can be persuaded more for a decent reason). Sound quality isn't super huge to me but I still can still tell some differences. I'm not sure where to start so hopefully someone can help.

So throw me some suggestions and hopefully I can find one I like!

What does that mean?

Would you say they're 'lit'?

Not OP, but my Lenovo tiny computer on ebay is about $60 and will run circles around a raspberry pi

Power usage isn't too much higher, it's upgradeable, and it's x86-64 architecture so more things are supported.

My tiny has an i7 and was a bit more expensive, but it's a powerful little guy. I added more ram for a total of 32, and it does better than my "old" server (technically from same era).

Can't speak for the other stuff.
