Black Coffee from lnbits likes internet of things, but doesn't like the way it tends to work with centralised servers and spying companies running them.
But what if your coffee pot and lights and smart plugs were nostr instead?
Nobody can cut your machine off, it has it's own keys and encryption, you could even ruin your own relay to talk to it instead of using public relays.
Remote control without having to expose the home network.
You could even make it require zaps and so make a vending machine.
Demonstration by sending lightning requests to the coffee pot on stage works better than the mikes that have been feeding back this afternoon 😆

Not a coffee geek by any stretch so a bit late to the party but AeroPress is pretty cool.
Wife is quite a coffee lover so in Dubai we visited the coffee museum and got inspired to try and roast some beans ourselves. It’s been going pretty good after a few bags quite happy with the result - never really explored different kinds of roast levels etc and been pretty good.
Wife probably done ordering coffee in shops though hehe. Ruined.

TIOBE Software CEO Paul Jansen shares the numbers for November 2025 in its programming popularity index. It seems like C# is almost caught up with Java with a less than 1% difference between the fourth and fifth positions. Python continues to stand in a very comfortable first place.

I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.
In the 1980s there were a lot of television ads that showed how people might use technology in the future.
I remember one that showed a woman waking up in bed and (I think) speaking to the computer across the room to ask for the news and weather. The part that struck me odd then wasn't the use of voice command, it was the idea of wanting to interact with a computer right away in one's bedroom, before even having coffee or seeing sunlight. And now here we are.
For 40 years, UCLA's Kerckhoff Coffee House has been open on Sat & Sun for students & faculty.

My coffee machine broke down. (Dramatic, I know.) I have to get a new one quickly. I want something specific that appears to be not widely available, and I wonder if anyone has recommendations. I want to have coffee made once, consumed over multiple ours. Heating plates make it taste terrible, coffee should go into an insulated pot.

Good Morning #Canada
Are you still looking for that perfect Christmas gift? Years ago I found myself shopping for my wife's Christmas present on December 23rd. Never again. For those of you still shopping it's inevitable that you're going to be standing in front of the Gift Card rack and mentally convincing yourself that the recipient will love a full gas tank or a Timmies coffee and donut. Canadians will buy close to $12 billion in Gift Cards in 2025, with a lot of that in the next 5 days. Recent changes to legislation have made it illegal to charge processing or activation fees on cards purchased with cash and there is no expiry date. That last point is important because companies are betting that a certain percentage of cards are never redeemed and it's estimated that approximately 40% of all cards are never used. I personally like getting a gift card as it allows me to choose something I want, and I always thank the gifter once I've used it.

I don't think there's enough coffee in the universe. We need more!
Instructions:
1. Visit your locally owned coffee shop
2. Order a macchiato
3. When they ask, “Just to be clear, you mean a double shot with a small amount of foam?” you say “Yes, obviously. Starbucks ruined it for everyone, didn’t they?”
4. Nod sagely along with the barista
<Phase> no... I musn't have any more coffee !!! ;)

Today went bust on the first attempt = I poured water for six cups of coffee in the brewer but only four scoops of coffee in the filter. That's tea with a hint of coffee taste. So I guess I'll have to accept that glasses are mandatory for making drinkable coffee from here on.

AI is Dumber on Mondays
It's Monday morning. My coffee is hot, my IDE is open, and Claude Code just suggested I fix a bug by... creating the exact same bug in a different file. Cursor is hallucinating function names that don't exist. Codex thinks undefined is a valid return type in TypeScript.

A few weeks ago my Magimix « L’expresso automatique » died on me. After several attempts to repair it I had to give up and buy a new espresso machine. Since it’s almost Christmas and shit I splurged on this.

I keep thinking about working from a coffee shop... but what is the etiquette?
For example...
How much coffee and cake do I need to consume for every hour I am there?
Do I go for some kind of coffee crawl, moving from coffee shop to coffee shop, buying a drink from each one, staying for 30 mins or so?
I will be buzzing after the first couple of hours 😅
Co-working spaces are so very expensive... the one I used to go to didn't survive lockdown.

I’m in the coffee shop again…
As it’s a community coffee shop attached to a larger venue, so every time I buy a coffee, I also buy a Pay It Forward.
It’s a really busy place, so is a bit more vibrant than sitting on my own at home. I’m thankful that I found it!

I finally got out to a coffee shop with my iPad and Magic Keyboard, and am using this time to respond to emails.
The coffee shop seemed very happy with me buying a coffee and sitting here without restriction. So, that’s what I am doing.
Although they have free Wi-fi here, I am tethering to my phone… feels safer, although I guess I could VPN 🤔
I’m also meeting @… here for lunch, so that will be nice.
