  • I have many nice diy Ortho boards for at home, but at work I have a computer I do CAD on. Because I share this machine and use the numpad a lot, and decided to just get a full sized board. Ordered one of the cheap ones with low profile choc switchs from Amazon. Since then I ordered an ISO layout TKL for my wife, and a 65% for my gaming PC. They are the definition of “good enough”. For around the price of one high quality board I now have 3 boards that have been getting daily use and are still “good enough” years later.

    To also add, my wife cannot really feel the difference in her cheap low pro, and my lubed Planck. Her only feedback was “Ortho is hard for her, but it looks cool”.

    My only suggestion is to ease newer users. If she is used to her GMK67, make sure the layout is the EXACT same. Some smaller boards do weird things with the right shift and arrow keys.



  • I am new to the fediverse, and could have misconfigured my docker image. But, I have de-sync issues the same way. What I started doing is browsing other Lemmy instances directly. Because my subscription does not seem to pull all content and all comments. It picks and chooses to sync about 4 or 5 post out of the ~50 a day from my 6ish different subscriptions.

    I am not totally sure how the software talks back and forth between instances. But, it seems like a huge issue if instances don’t have a feature to stay in sync.


  • 2006 Our Highschool had “recycled” some of the older machines and it started from there.

    A Dell Optiplex GX1 500MHz, with 128mb of ram, and a 80gb IDE HHD. Installed Debian Sarge, This was running a dial-up gateway for our home network as well as samba.

    It allowed one machine to be the LANs internet connection, abet slow. Samba was so I could download installers once, and then pull them from the network drive.

    2008-2012 that machine was a dedicated WordPress machine. Around 2019 I pulled it out of the closet and powered it up. The whole site was there, still ran without a hiccup. It was actually recycled shortly after that, Dell used to make great hardware.
