Please don't filter your posts for the planet's sake. PDO and such are supposed to be aggregations of the personal blogs of Debian-related people: there's no charter saying the content must be about Debian all the time. I (and many others) find it more interesting and colourful to read about the lives of the people involved. Hi Stribb, thanks for the post. Please don't filter your posts for the planet’s sake.

I should perhaps filter my planet feed... Still, no matter. Yes, I definitely need to grind finer: we'll see if that has the desired effect. I don't want to updose: I'm not going far beyond 60g per litre. I've watched practically every one of James' videos: always full of useful stuff. At present, I'm using a wobbly hand-grinder but I have my eye on a Mazzer Super Jolly like we have at work. Hi Lukas. I should perhaps filter my planet feed… Still, no matter.

Very helpful for me back then - as was his French Press video (he once made one for us visiting that style and it was mind boggingly perfect). Regards, Lukas btw, what grinder are you using?

A couple of times a year, the feed a farm gives its cattle changes from grass to silage and back again. During these periods, the fat and protein quantity can vary wildly. The problem is exacerbated with organic milk since these tend to use fewer herds and thus be unable to blend away the problem. That's what I heard on the internet and The Internet Never Lies.

That's bugged me for years. Maybe I'll start using dnsmasq or something.

You get second-long pauses between the pings, yet every one of them claims a round-trip time of 20ms. It’s even funnier when those DNS lookups are slow.
