I want to see if I can get a spark of the “old internet” back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this....
I am really happy that you appreciate it. There is so much to explore there, be careful because it’s easy to lose a lot of time browsing the files. Lol
I love reading about all the old school hacking and shit. There’s some genuine ‘anarchist cookbook’ type of stuff in there. Probably don’t try any of that shit, but it’s fun to read about none the less.
This was a good read, though I understand very little of it. Still, it’s exciting to imagine what possibilities this will allow and what potential needs it could fulfill. Anyone have some insight they’d like to share?
It’s probably an effect of the design of your city/town/surroundings, if I had to guess. May I ask what type of place you live in? Like, is it a suburb or something similar?
Also, you might like to read this person’s story that I’ve been following along on here. I’ll put a link for you in a minute
I’ve got to say, a lot of your responses seem like you are pre-convinced that there isn’t any solution to your problem. I think that’s why you’ve been getting so much snark/pushback. (Are you looking for genuine help, or just needing to vent? Either way, it’s ok. Separating the two might be beneficial to you though, that’s all I’m saying here)
Did you read Schmorp’s full story, or just the one link I sent? I know it’s not step by step instructions, but if you’re serious about organizing something I feel like there are a lot of good tips you could pick up on from the way that they did/are doing things.
Do you have any libraries you could frequent? Many of the unknowns you have could be addressed at a library and I think they would have much more relevant answers pertaining to your locality.
Also, here’s a link to something that I just saw here, that seemed like it could be potentially relevant/useful: mobilizon.fr
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
The Nuphy’s do seem a little more my speed for style and feel. I like the practical implementations of rgb on those new models you linked to. They’re not much more expensive either.
I wonder why that is. Almost none of the low profile options have rotary encoders. I don’t think a column staggered design would be a good fit for me right now, though I’m sure they’re nice. I may just have to compromise on the encoder, or the low profile. I feel like the low profile might be less important to me.
I hadn’t really considered this, but I think I would want the entire thing to be low profile if I went that route. Not that it wouldn’t work great or anything, but it seems like it might be odd to have low prof. caps on a full thickness board? Maybe I’m just overthinking it.
As it currently stands, I’m considering giving up the volume knob because there doesn’t seem to be any models that fit all of my requirements. Currently leaning towards the Nuphy brand
I didn’t mention it in the description, but I think in my head I was definitely imagining a TKL form factor. Thinking about it though, I probably wouldn’t mind the extra width too much. I think I could manage just fine with it, and the numberpad would be better than the one that’s on my laptop currently (it’s got a single-width zero key instead of double width that I’m used to…)
Yeah, I definitely found their website to be a bit overwhelming. Lol.
Thanks for finding that one for me, it’s going on the list for when I’m ready to pull the trigger.

pen-type multimeters
Any recommendations? Are any of them usb-c rechargeable? Seems like most of the ones I’m seeing take AAA batteries.
Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?
