I can consistently switch between Ortho and my laptop, hitting nearly 70WPM on both. I would say it took about a month before something clicked in my brain and I stopped trying to use my thumbs for mods on my laptop and miss hitting the key locations. Just give it more time. Your muscles can remember a ton of different things, brain just needs to figure out how to organize it.
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.
To add to this, could also be a cold or cracked solder joint making intermittent connection.
If you get desperate, you can look at reflow options. I know the old Xboxs people would bake. Best to just take a look at the solder joints for all the connectors. Are they still shiny? Or dull and cracked?
I believe Cloudflair tunnels is free. That’s where my comment was rooted.
I use a VPS, not Cloudflair, but it’s the exact same concept.
CF will have an exposed IP that you point your domains A record to. On your CF instance, you would then tunnel (I’m guessing they offer wireguard) into your home network, just like you are currently doing from your personal device.
A big difference here is you will put a reverse proxy on CF that will authenticate SSL with users. The proxy then will pass unencrypted http down the tunnel for your web services to respond to.
A couple days ago, someone asked (I think on this instance), “can you protect yourself from your VPS?”, which I think would be your next question.
<Opinion>I pay for a VPS, because if it’s free, you or your data is some how the product. </Opinion>
I went from ~70wpm on a QWERTY Model M to ~30wpm standard Planck in about 1 month. It’s been over one year now, and I switch between the two seemlessly, average 80-90wpm on a good day.
I know you asked layout (keymap) and not layout (key position/count) but it’s very similar to relearn muscle memory.
I never really did typing games/practice. My job is on a computer so… 7ish hours a day? That’s my only insight, just stick to it.
It’s always nice to see our Australian friends being interested in Ergo boards too :). All jokes aside, nice board!
For the price, at the moment I would say they are not worth it. 2$ a switch for X vs 1$ a switch for Chocs
The brown switches feel good, blues need a little bit too much force for my liking. The keycaps have no shape to them and was not a good experience stock. I resin printed a slight dish shape to glue on top, night and day difference in typing feel.
Maybe I will get some pictures, and make a second post… eventually.
New to Lemmy, so I’ll link to my single post “blog”.
I have since gone back and made another board. It is 17mm spacing and removed the number row as I didn’t use it much.
Ben Vallack made a video really close to your question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOupyi-lQZM annnnd of course ~14 months later he found a better way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT3TToFqqEU
My keyboard designs are unibody with a slight split, very similar to the lumberjack. when I break it apart , a slight angle really makes it comfortable to use. but nothing really beats having your arms shoulder width apart, as it helps put the shoulder blades sit in a more natural placement.
Just did the math out of curiosity. NVMe averages 4000mb/s (worst case) SATA averages 600mb/s (best case)
It would take about 7 disks to get nearly the same speeds.
Average 4TB NVMe seems to be about 200-250$ 8x cheap as dirt 512MB SSD seems to be about 240$
So if you do not have an NVMe slot on your old mobo but do have 8x spare SATA slots, you could get the same or .5 TB less of space at nearly the same speed, for nearly the same price. You would gain the added benefits of raidZ1 on ZFS, something NVMe on one slot does not give.
This also gets pretty interesting because those could be cheap 1TB disks and you now have 7-8TB of space for around 320$ (depending on raid)
I think it comes down to what kind of motherboard the user has and if they want raid for uptime/disaster recovery.
I am not sure exactly how that kit goes together, but you can really use anything non conductive. If you take the back plate off you can use a vinyl sticker/tape of any kind. Once you put the back case back on it would do a nice job form fitting and staying even after the tape loses its stick.
