To add to this, there's even the capacity to add usb dacs if the underlying distribution supports it. Picoreplayer was my introduction to these tools and I'm pretty sure it's my final destination. Can't recommend it enough if they have the time and curiosity to get it set up.

I would also add that if the person OP is asking on behalf of is not so inclined to get into the technical parts and okay with possibly throwing money at the project, volumio is there. I tried this first and appreciated it for what it was, but I wanted features behind the pay wall which are readily available for free with pCP.

For me, the single cup v60 is where it's at for a great drink regardless of the cost, and you really don't have to break the bank for a solid setup. A decent hand grinder, gooseneck kettle with a thermometer, and brewer can all be had within $200. Once you find a recipe you like and get comfy with the technique it's pretty easy to make brews that are consistently better than most anything you'd get from a shop or cafe.

1zpresso makes nice grinders in the $100-$200 range, and I wouldn't be very picky about the kettle unless you're using an induction stove top. Hario v60 brewers are about $20.

If you want to put the grinding issue aside and try things before committing to tools, you might see if you have some local roaster/cafes nearby. Most that sell beans will also grind for you, and they should grind according to whatever brew method you want to try.

I ran into this exactly, but it turned out to be device compatibility. I could never find it in the play store on the (x86) Chromebook, while it always showed up as you'd expect on the arm android.

Thanks, I was wondering why the s3 prefixes were used. If my memory serves, b2 is especially better on the billing rates for retrieval, so a better choice if large disaster recovery is on your mind.

Backblaze B2, which I'm pretty sure is a repackaged S3 provider, or you can just skip them and go directly to AWS S3; though, both aren't drag and drop user friendly like onedrive or gdrive. But both work well if you invest a little time with something like rclone.

Even weirder, these are not nautilus at all, they're octopus. Seeing the nautilus "shell" with suckers did not compute. Confusing overlap in naming.

That's a great question, never really considered it before. I seem to recall the front structure was able to be packed with warheads and launched at whatever, presumable with some targeting. Maybe the idea was 5 or 6 ships doing this on a cube could put it out of commission. Reminds me of torpedo boats.

Just watch out because decaf behaves a bit differently. You usually need a bit more coffee and slightly higher temperature to get in the ballpark of tasty shots. It's a great idea for learning to dial in, but you probably don't want to take your ideal settings from the decaf trials over to regular espresso beans.

Excellent episode for sure. This one comes up in philosophy and legal circles. Legal eagle guy gives at very brief analysis, comparing the procedures used there against actual military courts. It's nothing in depth, but still fun seeing analysis from a legal mind. We watched the arguments portions (on VHS) in philosophy 101 at my university. The professor felt it was a great way to illustrate Descartes' dualism ideas.

Not a direct answer, but a long black is typically less water than an Americano. It's usually a bit more than a splash of water, though. I enjoy them for all the same reasons--good temperature right from the start and more to drink for a longer coffee break.
