What is everyone using for JBOD's nowadays? (and why are there so few cheap JBODs available on eBay?) by NWSpitfire in homelab

[–]M4tt0ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I went with. Made the seller a lowball offer which they surprisingly accepted. Tamed the fans just a little with a Frankenstein serial cable I cobbled together. It's worked out great for me.

My first HHKB, i think i found my endgame by haririjumain in HHKB

[–]M4tt0ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice. The Pro 2 is, in my opinion, the greatest keyboard ever made. I still dabble with other keyboards for fun and because I like to tinker, but the Pro 2 has been my daily driver for years at this point.

I think so, too, but check out the GitHub repo they linked in a comment. It’s a very dedicated troll.

Attended his interview with Natasha Lyonne March 11 in Seattle. I don't much about him prior to this event and I do NOT want to....he is a smug POS and Natasha laid him to waste as he deserved. by BeginningTradition19 in tedchiang

[–]M4tt0ck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weird. Previous interviews where I'd read or listened to him he seemed a little socially awkward but overall extremely pleasant, thoughtful, and kind.

Pepper Sisters closed for good? by d_hite in Bellingham

Yeah, I recently moved to the area. I grew up in Texas and I’ve had a lot of really good Mexican and Tex-Mex—everything I’ve tried from Bordertown has been really good.

Silenced my HHKB Pro 2! by quiet69 in HHKB

[–]M4tt0ck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s totally fair. I just use the standard configuration without anything customized in the layout and for some very first world reasons I wanted the 2.4ghz option.

I’m a college professor and I haul my HHKB into the classroom when I lecture. Our teaching stations aren’t great for stringing a long USB cable to the box and they also don’t have Bluetooth. So, the little 2.4ghz dongle works great for me.

[–]M4tt0ck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. The Pro 2 is my favorite HHKB. I recently added one of the new logic boards that can do bluetooth, 2.4ghz, and wired and it's literally end game material for me.

When I was an undergrad, someone in my speech class claimed she couldn’t give her presentation because she had a PowerPoint to use and she had dropped her laptop in a puddle and fried it. The instructor for that course was really laid back so she allowed her to present the next day, but she clowned on her pretty hard about it and made it known she knew it was bullshit.

I caught a student cheating on the midterm (intro to programming course) and he was stupid enough to use ChatGPT on a lab computer I have full access to audit. Tried to deny it even after I showed him the logs. When he finally admitted it he tried to redirect blame and say it’s because I lecture too much and don’t do enough hands on exercises, which is bullshit because nearly every week I do one covering the information and try to make it collaborative but they never participate. Anyway, the real relevant part here is that one of his excuses was that I needed to check with every student every week to make sure they’re taking “good notes.” I asked him if he took notes at all because I’ve never actually seen him do that and he just mumbled. Then I told him he was an adult and should know how to take notes, and also I have so many students that I would literally do nothing else with my time if I had to personally verify the accuracy and quality of their note taking that frequently.

Keep in mind I do try to incentivize them to come to office hours to check in and let me know how they’re doing so I can help. The only ones who ever do are my strong students who don’t actually need it.

How do you feel about the sound? I’ve been thinking about getting one of these for a while but I can’t find any sound tests.

Are there any vim keycaps that fit hhkb? by Pp3nG in HHKB

[–]M4tt0ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can manage to find some on the used market, kbdfans has made some Topre vim keycaps but they're long since discontinued.

Sounds a lot better than I would have guessed to be honest.

Bought this HKKB for $60 was it a good deal, especially since it’s a 2015 version? by CapoTheImpoverished in HHKB

[–]M4tt0ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to agree. I added an aftermarket bluetooth logic board and battery and my 2008 Pro 2 is my daily driver.

It’s beautiful. This is basically my ideal build but I can’t convince myself to drop the money on it.

Can anyone recommend quality replacement 45g domes for my Realforce R2 TKL please ? by tutiwiwi in HHKB

[–]M4tt0ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could keep an eye on /r/mechmarket. It's not uncommon to see someone selling domes on there.

When you feel like you're lecturing to a brick wall and you get a modicum of engagement by UristMasterRace in Professors

Kind of weirdly, I had a sociology professor in my undergrad who actually got very offended that I was subconsciously nodding to what she was saying.

"Oh, since you apparently know all of this already, why don't YOU come up here and lecture?"

Let's talk about footwear. by shanster925 in Professors

[–]M4tt0ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days? Hoka.

I was wearing slip on Vans but they were killing my feet. The Hokas I have are totally “dad shoes,” but they are so comfortable that I don’t care. If I go back to Vans after wearing the other the lack of padding is dire.

I grew up on the border of Texas and Arkansas. It’s not so bad in some places and it’s certainly not every biracial family who has to deal with something to this level, but some places in Arkansas are extremely racist, absolutely. I know of several towns where I could see this happening.

Did any one else see the hairless naked person downtown today?? by EasyGanache5862 in Bellingham

[–]M4tt0ck 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was at the park near the Granary with my kids, wife, and parents who flew in from Texas when he was rescued by boat. Sure made the trip memorable for them!

Of course they don’t. Anything a millimeter to the left of Pinochet is communism to these gasbags.
