PNG is the closest thing that I have to an espresso secret weapon. A nice medium roast on a clean conventional PNG at 10-20% of an espresso blend often provides a great boost in both intensity and complexity.

Got my next espresso blend figured out in 1 attempt. It uses coffees from Brazil, India, and Papua New Guinea. I'm going for something with lots of intensity of flavor (you should still be able to taste the coffee in the milk drinks), complexity (unadulturated it should stay interesting as you drink it), smooth viscosity. Do not want astringency or sourness, but balanced sweetness.

https://video.typica.us is now running PeerTube 1.3.0! (It's also using about 61% of its disk space so I'll have to decide what I want to do about that. Upgrading to the next sized VM up is probably what I want to do since the extra core bundled with the added storage space should speed up transcoding jobs)

A year ago I tried learning ActivityPub, and more or less failed. I was confounded by a spec that was so abstract I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Turns out I was missing some key things.

I have written a guide to learning about ActivityPub that I wish existed a year ago when I first set out to learn how to write social media servers that conform to the spec:

pleroma.site vs gab

if gab actually federates, we will be blocking it at that time. there's a few reasons for this position:

- gab itself has a tendency to disseminate content that violates our TOS

- we don't know what domain gab will be using for this service

- we don't know if this service actually exists (forking Mastodon to rewrite 90% of it? haha okay dudes)

- I see no reason to waste a lot of time on something not proven to be an actual thing yet and I am personally skeptical it will ever be a thing given gab's track record

this is the last thing I have to say on the matter, I will be keyword muting gab now

No more need for cancer warnings on coffee in California, which I think makes coffee about the only thing that doesn't give you cancer according to that state. #DrinkMoreCoffee

Progress on a couple fronts:

1. I'm getting an IKAWA roaster. This is going to be helpful for developing some of the features I want to work on for Typica 1.10.

2. The class I'm teaching in August was booked to conflict for time on the roasters with another class so I got to have a conversation about what the options there are. Fortunately I designed my class to be highly adaptable and could offer 2 solutions to the problem and we picked one.
