Used to buy these religiously every month about 15 years ago. They used to come with distros on a disc and I had pretty rubbish internet at the time so they were pretty handy for distro hopping.
They also did a really great podcast at that time too!
Glad to see they’re still going!
Call the old bill mate, you were robbed.
Spill the (non existent) beans, how much was that monstrosity?
Maybe just a child -> adult palette change but I tried 'em during lockdown and wasn’t impressed
Yeah, that’s right. Tbh I’ve not tried one in years. Something’s are better left in the nostalgic past. Crispy pancakes being a prime example.
Hold on Uncle Rodger… He tried to get them banned, therefore logic dictates that they’re actually pretty good!
Lab analysis inconclusive. But either way they’re great.
Turkey twizzler. There’s a whole Janie Oliver backstory…
Same, the internet has ruined us.
That’s fair. Just seems like the more revolutions around the sun I make the longer it takes me to adjust 😅
In this day in age I don’t know why we still do this. Like just keep it one way or the other 🤣
Probably a pretty high crossover on radio and guns. I watch ham radio stuff on YouTube and in turn get recommended a load of prepper content 😅
I went 100% -> tkl -> 60% -> corne (couldn’t do it) -> lilly58 -> kenisis -> dactyl
If you can solder then kits aren’t expensive vs pre built. Go for hot swap and you can start out with cheaper switches and experiment from there. And if you can’t solder then it’s actually good way to learn 🤣
Don’t compare yourself to the rest of the comments. If your setup works for you then it’s a good setup.
If you’re interested in becoming more keyboard driven, start with learning vscode/db gui shortcuts for things that you do a lot: executing queries, jump to definition, or renaming variables, etc.
We’re all on our own journey as cringe as it may sound. Mine was due to wrist, thumb, and shoulder pain rather than being super productive.
For normal text I do have home/end bound but use it so infrequently that I forget them 😅
I use a dactyl but did use a 60% for a while. Vim key binds in your ide are the way forward.
Using a keyboard like that made me eventually switch over to neovim full time from vscode.
Is an actual lettuce.
This. The arch wiki is a treasure trove of information. The more you do, the more you’ll learn.
Also, don’t blindly copy paste configs for editors or window managers. Just slowly build them up based on your own use. It’ll be painful initially but worthwhile in the long run
I’m still a bit sceptical over LLMs but I’ve used copilot for line code completion for a few years now.
More recently I’ve started playing about with agents. I’ve been using avante.nvim for a couple of months with Claude and quite like it. The setup was a bit of a faff but it works quite well and has support for the more mainstream agents.
Over the last few days I’ve started trying out augment code which has a neovim plugin. Still on the fence about that one.
I’m no expert when it comes to any of this but this is what I’ve been messing about with. Hope it’s useful!
