Moccamaster Leaking

Moccamaster Leaking

My Moccamaster KBGV started leaking through the bottom plate after a mere 3 years. Unfortunately, Moccamaster isn't interested in standing behind the quality of their product and does not consider this a warranty issue.

Extremely disappointed by the quality of the machine and the warranty service of Moccamaster, to be honest, and not particularly excited to invest money in repairs.

Do you guys think it's worth trying to repair the machine myself? I'm fairly certain that it's not leaking from the water reservoir itself.

As you can see from the picture, the leaks seem to be internal to the machine, as water has discolored the area around the ventilation holes the most.

Paginated Reader for Firefox

Hi all!

I made a firefox plugin for reading the news on Android-based ereaders. It uses Firefox's built-in readability feature, but renders things in paginated form, rather than a scrolling-based one.

You can set it to auto-open on particular pages (index pages can be included or excluded). There's a one-column and two-column mode. Obviously, font size, type, and weight can be adjusted, etc. Perfect for my personal needs, and a much more pleasant way of browsing the web on my Go 10.3 Lumi!

Check it out here:

Note that only the developer edition of firefox for android supports all extensions, so afaik on Android , this is only compatible with Firefox Nightly, not the standard version. Alas, that means installation is slightly complicated

Installation Instructions:

  1. Install Firefox Nightly for Developers (or any firefox fork that supports extensions)
  2. Enable Developer Mode by clicking Settings/About Firefox/Clicking on the Firefox Logo 7 times (this may be optional, idk!)
  3. Go to the above URL and add the extension
