I’m an Australian based Data Engineer, who enjoys making sub-40% custom keyboards.

  • Is it absolutely 0% or is it 0% with a $10/month administration fee? If the former, don’t pay it off early, just set up a standing order/direct debit and let it pay itself down. If the latter, you need to calculate the comparison rate (which will get higher the closer you get to zero balance), and work out what the break even is. Then carry on paying until you hit the point that the effective interest is greater than the interest on your savings account and at that point pay it off in full.

  • Filesystem Table.

    It’s a shortening. Not a shortening of File Systemtable though.

  • Gruvbox themed

  • I’m curious what value you get from a bot? Were you using it to upvote your posts, or to crawl for things that you found interesting?

  • I use it as my primary home machine, running bspwm. I enjoy it, and find once configured it just works. Primarily web browsing, Kicad and OpenSCAD, and some Python development.

  • While I think we can agree it’s not a mass exodus, and as a percentage it’s fractional, I would be really curious on the relative percentage of mods and higher activity users.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if these were proportionally higher than the total percentage as they would be more attuned to what was happening.

  • Yes. I’ve been using a 36 key split as my daily driver for a year or so. So each finger and thumb has 3 keys. I’m removing the middle one (the home key), and to press it you simply press top and bottom together. So there shouldn’t be that big of a learning curve for me.

  • Puts our Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s 30km after a 5 hour charge to shame!

  • Yeah, maybe. 10x the cost for a default print is a bit too much for me to bother fiddling to make it right for them. Think I’ll just stick with jlcpcb and make do without the transparent coat.

  • I must be doing something wrong. For what looks to be exactly the same spec, jlcpbc is quoting A$14.85 (US$9.92)while pcbway are quoting just over US$100 for the same thing.

  • Gotcha, thank you!

  • Yeah, unfortunately also there is a interlock/cog teeth system so you can lock the legs in place. One side of the cog is on what you can buy. The other side is on the part that it built into the keyboard. So realistically the only way to get the full thing is to crack open an ErgoDox and take/break them out.

  • I love that we have this level of engagement. Well done team! If I could help out in some way, I would. But I’m but a lowly SQL/Python dev.

    Keep up the great work

  • I think I read something about this being a known issue on the backlog. I’m sure it will be addressed in due course.

  • Does that translate to ‘it will be nice to chat with people using Threads from my Mastodon account?’

  • Already done. They sell the legs, but they won’t sell the fittings that are used to attach the legs to the case, as these come built into the chassis.

  • Sounds like it would be worth looking at the asyncio package.

  • Because I don’t want my Firefox window overlapping my Vim window.
