I did it ... ๐Ÿ˜Š I could not leave it be...
I ordered custom printed #keycaps from WASD for my customized #chrumm #keyboard showing the full #NeoQWERTZ layout. ๐Ÿ˜… Plus the keyboards first FN-layer.

They arrived .. today ๐Ÿ˜€ and they are beautiful. Came out much nicer and less chaotic than I feared. Even though #chaos, chaosknot and fairydust-rocket are part of the design ๐Ÿ˜

On top of that, I added o-rings for a softer key-press bottom-out.

keycap design, remix at will: https://github.com/btittelbach/custom_printed_keycaps/tree/main

The photo shows a angled closeup of xro's custom Chrumm Keyboard with newly added custom printed keycaps. The chaos knot is used as symbol for "Alt" and fairy-dust is used as symbol for "Enter" while a gamecontroller is used as symbol for "Ctrl"

"Uncle I've read the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy.. and say... where is Betelgeuse?"

"It doesn't exist anymore"

https://earthsky.org/brightest-stars/betelgeuse-will-explode-someday/

Kind of amazing that we have recent popular literature which mentions a star and assumes it is a permanent fixture in the sky, when that star might explode within our lifetime. ๐Ÿคฏ

Of course we also have star charts from the middle ages that show stars that can't be found in the sky today. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿค”

What's the problem with and ?

  • ads are information
  • ads are intentionally incorrect and misleading
  • ads are ubiquitous available information, to the point of being actively PUSHED onto every human reachable.
  • for many people who don't actively seek other sources, it is the main source of information.

That"s not a good basis for a where informed citizens are supposed to make good decisions.

I was actually mainly thinking about TV ads, billboards, analog newspaper ads, mailbox leaflets or whole papers that pretend to be a newspaper but are in reality a big ad, ๐Ÿ˜…

since thanks to AdBlockers, WebAds have seized to be a problem for me.

But you are right, the WWW without AdBlockers is a dangerous and unusable mess. At least here on the Web we have a technical solution against ads.

@xro I see.

Good point and I agree.

ad WWW: I presume that 99%+ aren't using any protection against ads/malware in their browser. Therefore, I consider this (also) a very important threat to the public.

Finally finished my second ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐ŸŽ‰

This version features -12ยฐ backwards tilt instead of -3ยฐ and is thus a bit higher.

It also features 20ยฐ split angle instead of 12ยฐ, which feels much better. On the MS Ergonomic keyboard, which seems to also have only 12ยฐ, I actually also used an wider arm angle so so that finger movement is more isometric over the diagonally arranged keys.

The body was printed with resin and the threading hole diameter needed to be increased for glueing.

The path to a better(?) parametrically generated is fraught with failed s. ๐Ÿ˜…

On the FFF side, 3 prints with 3 filaments failed, before I could pin down the reason for it (all our filaments needed drying)

On the resin side, 1 print had the wrong parameters and 2 prints with high clarity resin bent away from the support structure and thus assembling became inviable. Also I further destroyed one of those while trying to fit a threaded inset into it. ๐Ÿ˜…

Collage of failed resin print with black ABS like resin. Good thing it failed, because it also showed me that I would have to order new PCBs for these angles.
Collage of 3 failed FFF prints. Materials used were PETG, Meta PLA and GreenTecPro. All prints have a lot of stringing and uneven surfaces due to having drawn too much moisture from the air.

Built myself a last week in standard configuration. (chrumm is actually a very cool parametric STL and PCB keyboard generator)

The goal was to see how I would do with isometric aligned keys.

So far, my experience has been great. No problem with the rectilinear layout per se.

The main annoyances so far focused on the missing F-key-row, the two missing keys on the left half that I need regularly and having to type '6' with the right hand instead of the left.

Na GroรŸartig. ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿคฆ Die OMV hat bindende Gas Liefervertrรคge bis 2040 mit Russland abgeschlossen. Aus der Zeit als man befรผrchtete dass Gazprom uns zuwenig liefern kรถnnte. Auch wenn wir anderes Gas kaufen, mรผssen wir Russland weiter ungeliefertes Gas zahlen. Bis 2040. ๐Ÿคฆ

An schon frรผher eintretende Klimakatastrophe hat dabei wohl niemand gedacht. ๐Ÿคฆ

Und was bringt ein Wechsel weg von russischem Gas, wenn wir weiter Geld zahlen und den Angriffskrieg finanzieren?

@xro Das hat die Tagespresse schon schรถn aufgearbeitet: https://dietagespresse.com/beruhigend-oesterreichs-gas-kommt-zu-98-von-russischem-serienmoerder/

After evaluating GitHub in various settings (ansible, golang, rust, python, CL) for 2 months I can now say that it can be helpful like at most 20% of the time but it turned out to be much less usefull than the initial examples, which friends demonstrated to me, let me believe.

Basically, at the current price, it's imho not really worth the money.
Or: At current usefulness it should imho be priced around 3 USD/m.

Mal Schwarz auf WeiรŸ das Polizei Menschenmengen nicht schรคtzen kann. (u.A.), falls jemand mal einen reality check braucht welche Zahlen bei Demos glaubwรผrdig sind.

Truly impressive detail, that I had not previously seen with FFF printers. Even more impressive that, what was basically a big block of support material after printing, could peel of witho9ut much trouble to reveal the figures beneath it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

printed in @realraum on a Prusa MK4 Input Shaper with 0.07mm and and a 0.25mm nozzle.
