Just replaced a couple of components on my Barista Express espresso machine after having it for 5 years now. Dialling in is still a bit of a challenge, but I presume not much more than any other machine. I really do need to assemble a blog post on my coffee learnings over the last decade ☕️

Remember when all those tech companies suddenly pulled the ladders up on their APIs by charging astronomical prices? Would be nice if we could do that
The A11y Project is at risk of going over our 1TB bandwidth limit on @netlify.com and being automatically charged $55/100gb in bonus bandwidth to keep it online.
I think we all know the cause and it's depressing. I've asked Netlify to just let the site go down when the limit is hit.
