What is a moderate quality 20+20W amp. Anything that will connect to a generic PC is acceptable (aux, usb are the obvious options)

And by moderate quality I mean a noise floor low enough the average person isn't going to complain.

I don't fully understand all of the USB HID things, but I understand that the standard keyboard device has 6KRO limit, and this mode must be used for interacting with old BIOSes.

The NKRO version can be enabled on some keyboards, but isn't the default on many so they work from power on in the BIOS.

Is there a reason a keyboard doesn't use both? Register the first 6 keys on the simple one, but when a 7th key is pressed that goes through the NKRO?

I know there is a new tool that does this, but my search foo is weak today.

What is the tool for syncing (with e2ee) command history between computers?

This is surprisingly .

Next keyboard is making this more pronounced with low profile switches for the thumb keys. If low profile swithcns and caps are too low I can just put on higher profile caps.

Same keyboard but a lower angle shot giving an profile view. The grid caps barely come up to the bottom of the other caps. The alpha caps are nearly 1cm taller

Someone launching a nix fork. Which is a good thing.

Tip: if you can't recruit people, you need to change something. The potential recruits can't be the problem.

So after spending over a week fighting to let me package the printer's drivers and giving up and using a docker print server, now doesn't want to print on the actual page.....

Um, removing lots of code is the type of thing engineers celebrate. I love when I fix things by deleting code.

Those are the good days.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the default error reporting from nix tools is pretty good for devs changing things deep in the bowels of the nix ecosystem, they are much more likely to have changed something core that the deepest part of the error stack is applicable.

But end users are much more likely to want the other end of the error stack.

I think I need to default to '--show-trace'.

The default being 'head + tail' would probably be more useful to everyone.

Personally I think a 3am cancelling of a 6am meeting is worse than a 3am invite to a 6am meeting.

At least with the 3am invite I can enjoy a full nights sleep.

Designing my next minimalist currently. Currently I have:

  • One less column and one more thumb key per half compared to the current keyboard, for 5 columns and 4 thumb keys

  • Low profile thumb keys

  • Per key RGB (don't have to populate or use, but could be nice)

  • No case, going for flat desk mounting

  • Horizontal scroll wheel
    or

  • Joycon thumbstick next to thumb cluster

Anything else that I should consider adding?

I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my little old Optiplex running NixOS.

Every minute or so iowait spikes to 50% and everythign is sluggish. iotop shows nothing interesting, no app is doing more than 1M/s, total is <2M/s.

dmesg has no new events in that time, but I do have a USB port that keeps dropping and coming back (could it be that stumbling and recovering without a disconnect? I don't think so as those disconnections occur without high iowait)

Any ideas?

@jpm And the first hit for "nixos trim" is a reddit post mentioning that the default is disabled.

Fixed that, lets see how that impacts things :)

@LovesTha enabling online trim might not be the best way to do it, you may want to use a daily (or even weekly) cron job that calls fstrim instead

That is a lot less disks than I expect, hopefully this is just a cable/card reseating issue

SATA card's LED's indicate it has links to 5 drives (the correct number)

We'll see what 3 months of updates does

What causes /dev/disk/by-uuid to have 6 devices but /dev/disk/by-path to have 20?
