Depends on the tea.

I'm in the UK and if shopping outwith I tend to just buy from China, Japan, India or wherever I want tea from.

Yunnan Sourcing is good value and pretty reliable for Chinese tea.

O-Cha or Ippodo for Japanese tea.

TeaSpring in the US offer most stuff in small sizes and have a flat $3.80 worldwide shipping charge.

I've heard good things about Marriage Freres but have never tried them.

Essense of Tea or Liquid Proust may be worth a look if you like that sort of thing.

Not for a long time.

Simplest imo is to chop/mince/puree it and put into ice-cube trays for easy to dispense flavour.

Ohhh, nice find.

It's still on my bingo card to find in the wild.

I've had Void on my desktop for a few years as I didn't think it could handle Gentoo, 2011 iMac with 4GB ram, I tried Gentoo again a few months back and have been delighted. Between the binary kernel, -bin packages in the main tree, experimental Gentoo binhost and Calculate Linux repos updating or installing new stuff with portage is pretty smooth.

I've been on lvm/luks/ext4 for a long time. zfs looked cool but I prefer to rely on mainline support, btrfs sounded promising and exciting but I don't think they have done the encryption bit yet which, was the bit I was excited about from the start. I'm kinda hoping by the end of the year I can ditch ext4/lvm/luks on my desktop and just have bcachefs doing it all with mainline support.

It's wonderful but I'm on the last pot, will ensure it's not another decade before I have it again.

Is it reasonable to advise someone who is new to this stuff on MacOS to just installl Ubuntu on VirtualBox?

I thought so too but after meeting him I feel comfortable he is gonna take over the world slowly.

New to linux, think she needs a gui. I will look into UTM.

[–] SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not sure there is a need to run linux on bare metal, or carry around a second laptop.

Thanks, good to know it still works

Sounds good, is there a simple guide to UTM on MacOS?
