If you look closely the URL mentions something about a blogroll, but that's not quite accurate, is it now?

Some links are here because I kept them open in a browser tab for too long, so I might not have read them carefully myself.

Neither do I necessarily endorse whatever is listed on these pages, deal with it!
I also bookmark stuff under [edwinwenink.xyz/microblog/](https://www.edwinwenink.xyz/microblog/), but those I have read for sure.

I do more or less try to organize links - it's a futile effort, one may call it Archive Fever - but it doesn't always work out.

`def` philosopher: a machine for turning coffee into thoughts.

A taster of witty coffee-induced literature, [The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee](https://urbigenous.net/library/pleasures_pains_coffee.html), by Honoré de Balzac:

I can add something to what he has said because coffee is a great power in my life; I have observed its effects on an epic scale.
Coffee roasts your insides.
Many people claim coffee inspires them; but as everybody likewise knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring.
Think about it: although more grocery stores are staying open in Paris until midnight, few writers are actually becoming more spiritual."


I have a few ways to make coffee at home:


- Simple filter coffee machine
* My first machine got so hot it burns the coffee and made my coffee pot explode
- Bodum pour over coffee
- Mokka Express (3 persons)
- Old Krups Espresso machine


I grind coffee using the Baratza Encore Esp, because it can grind coffee for espresso to filter to pour over.


I tend to make filter coffee with medium roasted espresso beans, but then overdo the amount of beans.

- Bodum pour over coffee

I threw away two Senseo machines I owned, because I am not convinced anymore they actually produce coffee.

I'm currently using two machines: a desktop running Windows and a ThinkPad T420 running [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/).
I have Windows installed from before I got familiar with Linux and I'd like to get rid of it, but I'm not mentally ready to make that step because some software I like (read: Elite Dangerous) does not run well on Linux.
I recently updated my desktop to a nicer machine with a RTX 3080 and 64GB RAM.

The ThinkPad T420 is loved for being a laptop with a good keyboard.
On my desktop, I use the tenkeyless Leopold FC 660M keyboard with blue cherry switches, alongside a cheap Verto Ergonomic mouse from Trust.

On my desktop, I used a tenkeyless Leopold FC 660M keyboard with blue cherry switches, alongside a cheap Verto Ergonomic mouse from Trust.
Unfortunately, I spilled [coffee](/etc/coffee) on it so a few keys don't work anymore.
For daily use, I now enjoy a Mistel MD770 split mechanical keyboard with Brown Cherry switches.

On Arch Linux, I used [i3wm](https://i3wm.org/) for several years, but a while back I switched to [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/) and I like how simple and fast it is.
I kept tinkling with i3 and after a while got fed up with wasting time on this, and regressed into a bare bones setup with the default i3 status bar.
