That's a pretty good point (with layout I meant both colemak and ortholinearity (is that a word?)). I do think it's additional work to learn colemak on a standard keyboard, but I guess you could go for it if you think it would pay off. I just prefer having the same keyboard for all my computers.
I typed around 60 WPM before on a standard keyboard, now it's barely 25. It may be because I don't use standard keyboards at all anymore though.
I learnt colemak with my first split keyboard since it seemed like if I was going to learn a new layout, then I should commit to it entirely. I think keeping AZERTY (since I'm french baguette haha) would have just made me even slower on standard keyboards because there wouldn't be much difference with my normal workflow. Separating the two layouts entirely seems better to me, but you might also say keping the same layout to some extent is better.
I went from a full-size keyboard to my monkeyboard, gradually removed keys (left row, top row, inner thumb keys) and now I'm at 34 keys with my triboard. But making the jump could also have worked seems it's a complete change anyway.
Yes, the main thing is you don't have to pay for nice!nanos which are $25 each as I remember. XIAOs are only $10 each. The price I put on tarneo.fr is only as I remember it, might be a bit more depending on location and the shipping options you choose. But yeah I guess even with that it's cheap.
Because it's a decent competitor to the GitHub monopoly. It also has a few unique features when compared to it. Just guessing why OP uses it though (many people do)
Not really, you get used to the small number of keys if that's the question. It's really just muscle memory after some time (I've been using this layout for around a year, iterating occasionally)
Just ordered the PCBs for my second, custom layout split keyboard, the triboard.
I'm also working on a service status watcher + page called swec. It will eventually be able to notify you through gotify whenever your services are down, and maybe even redirect clients to the status page. Some other features include custom downtime messages.
I'd like to keep the board as flat as possible, mimicking the TOTEM's case which doesn't add any height. This means I'll have 0.2 mm between the main PCB and the bottom plate, and AFAIK there is no battery that would have the correct size for this.
Thanks, great suggestion! But as it seems it would make use of less common parts (I mean parts that can't be gotten from local shops or ergo keyboard part sellers like splitkb), plus I think the batteries would be too small even compared to the 80mAh batteries used with nice!nanos.
Yeah, at first it seemed quite alright to do with a smaller angle (from 3 to 6 degrees depending on the battery), but now I think it would make the board too complicated. Right now I am trying to get used to sticky mod keys on home row combos (colemak A+S for LGUI, N+I for LCTL) and it seems like I'll be able to remove the inner thumb key in the end.
Seeing how unethical the company is in general, it would'n't surprise me if the anticheat was just the worst. Even forgetting the anticheat part, I would NEVER play it.
(Unethical is actually a pretty big euphemism here)
Yeah, most anticheats are actually just rootkits (running at kernel level with unlimited privileges). This is also a big security issue, some games like genshin impact have also been used to create botnets since there is only one privilege escalation from the game itself to the kernel.
Whenever you use an anticheat, you just have to take the company's word for what they are doing with that kernel-level access.
Wait.. Its actually not bad. Apart from advertising WSL there's some decent instructions for installing Linux in place of windows. This could be a tutorial not affiliated with Microsoft.
Use librewolf instead of Firefox to get rid of the whole spyware part of it. Librewolf only has a single request when starting, to "check for updates". But using Firefox is the second best thing you can do both for your privacy and to fight Google's " Web Environment Integrity" crap.
I use Iceraven with ublock, privacy badger, decentraleyes and canvasblocker.

From my experience:
Oh right

Thanks! Looks like I've reached my goal ;-)

Thanks! Some people find the monospace font hurts their eyes though, but I guess it's a tradeoff of the 90s theme

Framaforms + framacalc.
My servers have names of Spanish words humorist El Risitas says in his mythical video where he laughs with no real reason.
The biggest server is named "cocinero", because I can (jokingly) easily imagine a very fat cook.
Then there is plancha, a lenovo thinkcentre which has the size of a plank.
My raspberry pi's have names of tapas: chorizo, keso etc.
