  • Nope, still in Turkey. Hoping to gtfo of the oligarchy asap.

    People in this country don’t really like me so I kind of embraced foreign social media as a way of escaping reality. You may call it a “online gurbet” i guess.

    Life is better these days since I’ve gotten a really nice irl safe space of mostly Boğaziçi students.

    I hope the situation is better outside






  • incredibly inconvenient

    Imagine sitting in the corner near the plug with your weird resistive heater waiting for the water to get hot. You’d probably become the laughing stock of the whole campus pretty quickly

    Also, things get pretty heavy when you have a 4 hour daily railway commute. There has been times when I didn’t take a bottle of water because it hurt my back

    So I’ll just stick to carrying grounds and buying hot water. It costs practically nothing compared to my current habit of buying coffee which is a huge hole in my budget


  • It is pretty commonplace to sell hot water in my country?

    Because bringing a heater with you is hard, the places which sell tea will also fill up your cup with hot water. For a fair price usually +5TL (~0.1 cent) more compared to bottled water of the same amount.

    I can bring a heater and spend my university’s electricity for it but why would I so that when hot water is already very cheap.

    edit: I just remembered my school’s water dispensers have a hot water tap. Students drain those very quickly though so I gotta go there right after my lecture ends




  • Yeah they do sell hot water.

    Currently planning to pack a french press. We’ll see how it goes, but I still want the thermos.

    Since I use Hoffman’s french press technique the only thing I do is to dump coffee in water and wait anyways. So I might cut the filter from a french press and put it inside a thermos. I could then get it set up at home and just add water™


  • Yeah probably. It’ll all get stale and burnt ig. Didn’t think about that much

    Coffee outside is expensive and pretty bad though. I need to carry my own coffee to school but no idea on how to do it.

    Drinking it at home is not very viable since I already wake up at 6am and don’t wanna add another 30 minutes to my morning routine

    okay here me out:

    Pipewire is one of the best pieces of software I used. It has a cool ass patchbay and unlike PulseAudio I’ve never had it crash on me. It is the best thing that happened to Linux audio

    I was blown away when I connected my phone to my PC through Bluetooth and phone audio started playing through my PC. It just worked without me touching anything

    I also really like how “Linux Studio Plugins” are standalone apps that you can run. I don’t produce music or anything but I still use stuff like equalizers and spectrum analyzers. It is insane how flexible the “each app has inputs and outputs you can hook together” architecture is.

    PulseAudio probably also had some of these features but I never used those because pulse would fall apart every time I touched it. Pipewire doesn’t

    Broken Linux audio is about to become old news
