just to chime in on alternative keyboard layouts:

I’m german and can’t recommend the neo2 family of layouts enough.
I currently am using the “noted” layout and it feels absolutely amazing.

The different layer approach makes it easy to write all the symbols for programming I need, or if you are a writer, all the »correct« „quotation“ marks.
there’s even support for all the greek letters used in math equations: ℤℵ×∀ℂΣ∫∃∇ℕℝ∂ΛΦΨ

You can learn more about the layout here (site is in german):

30, german, yes I can, no I do not. I drive a hybrid, so no manual transmission.

• Speed Cubing
• Aggressive Inline Skating
• Magic The Gathering
• Misc. Video Games
• Self Hosting
• Historical European Martial Arts (Swordfighting with a Longsword especially)

Those are the ones for me. Yeah turned 30 this year as well. No Autism (probably) but have ADHD.

Programming is my job, so I don’t define that as a hobby 😅

I personally love the feel of the MoYu RS3M MagLev. And I think it was like 15 bucks.

And don’t be afraid to go to chinese distributors like ziicube.com Saves a lot of money by going directly to the source and buying in bulk if you can, to alleviate shipping cost.

I thought they get into the hay of things.

Seems like avoiding context switching and all the overhead associated would make a big difference when pretty much everything in cache is critical data.

It’s not. Like the commenter above said: It’s a fraction of the task at hand. Especially when you design the rest of the system to run only if necessary. Context Switches are what? like 50 CPU Cycles? Store Registers, Store TCB, Load other TCB and load other register states jump back to PC. Maybe some other OS Shenanigans, but that’s basically it.

Now Imagine complex calculations on a 25-Dimensional Matrix.

There’s some things called software architecture, requirement engineering and software design. More dev teams should try this.

Thanks! I’m not really a photographer and this was done by my cellphone, but I really liked how it turned out. It was much more stunning in reality though. 😅

This was the Car ferry from Konstanz to Meersburg. I have the privilege to commute on this ferry every morning and afternoon.

I’ll try to capture a clear day when you can see the Alps in the distance.

I had trouble with my Logi G935 Headset. Whenever I muted myself by flipping the mic up, I couldn’t unmute ever again. Had to replug the receiver. Once I uninstalled G-Hub I noticed the mic immediately unmuting. Now it works without any problems.

I could even reactivate the Virtual Surround Sound by installing the respective audio software (DTS:X Headphones iirc).

Since then I have migrated to a dedicated Wired Headphone/Microphone Setup, which works flawlessly (and sounds way better).

I self host some stuff, because I dislike that I’m buying only the rights to consume certain kinds of e-media, instead of buying the e-media itself. So I make us of the consumer rights laws in europe and make a decrypted personal copy and stream it myself from my home server (an outdated laptop)

I spun this up just today and had no issues whatsoever. Just a bad aftertase because the AIO package creates and manages other containers on the host, I’d love to have more control over those as well. But for the sake of comfortability I’ll just have to accept that. And it truly works out of the box!

But that’s PS5 VR exclusive, OP said he had a Quest 2 and I believe the VR Patches for PC are still quite janky.

Skyrim can almost be modded like Skyrim SE, so that’s a huge plus. There are also VR specific mods that give you a more natural VR feel, like HIGGS (Haptic Overhaul), VRIK (giving you a body) and PLANCK (gives you the ability to interact more freely and directly with your environment) This definitely gives Skyrim the VR feel that it needs.

Having something like VR Weapon Throw also gives you a lot more options to play the game, adding thrown weapons and semi-medieval firearms. They don’t make a lot of sense canonically, but the added gameplay value is tremendous.

Another Idea is to add a couple of “Survival Mode” mods, to make it truly immersive. Speaking of Immersion, you definitely should install as much graphical overhauls as your PC can handle, especially for NPCs and Items. You can handle muddy textures in the forest, but it’s not pleasant to speak to a muddy textured face. Or looking at a sword that’s just a blob of grey and shiny.

Also some kind of Machinery. “GameMachine” for my Xbox “BigMachine” for my PC “MiniMachine” for my Phone “MicroMachine” for my Pi

Except my small 2-in-1 Laptop. That’s “decepticon”. Because it’s an Asus Transformer Book.

I usually cut down on domain/DNS cost by using a free dynamic DNS service called duckdns. It works super well, provides Let’s Encrypt support and sub-sub-domains. (for example your could have https://git.$username.duckdns.org)

I’ve found as a IT noob that Caddy 2 provides as much “batteries inside” and “boiler-plate free” to support me, because I have no Idea what I’m doing. So I just let caddy handle my encryption and reverse proxy to my actual server.

I’m an embedded software dev, who only discovers ethernet protocols on a surface level, because we hadn’t need it yet in previous projects, so I’m a bit lost on how to do cloud stuff. So having all these great tools for free for me to try out and connect from outside to my media servers and stuff is awesome!

Destiny 2: The new season feels fantastic.

Really? It feels like there’s a new komga version every other day 😅

Will definitely go and check out Kavita tomorrow.

What made you use Kavita over komga? This is only the second time I’ve read about Kavita, so I’m quite curious for any user experience.

I’m currently setting up a new server and used Komga until now, but I’m willing to switch.
