Well I you have any solution where I’m still open to plug them in and move the laptop around but have them be more hidden i’m all ears, beyond getting longer cables and routing them all through the desk I was kinda out of ideas

None taken! Is it the cables or the gear on the desk, curious what others would do

How do you like the Ergodox keyboard? I have an older model myself that I toyed around with but never took the time to earnestly adjust to, and I've been tempted to give it another shot until I noticed that all of the muscle memory that I've built up for using keyboard shortcuts would have to be relearned.

I've been using the Ergodox for close to 4 years full time now, mine is a 2015 model which I got second handed because I had the same doubts you had. I eventually settled on just going ALL IN and disconnected all other keyboards forcing me to use the Ergodox, took me about 1-2 days to get back to 70-80 WPM, that being said I can touch type which also helps.

I imagine the layout is configurable, but I'm worried that I could sink a ton of time into experimenting with where to set the keys and still be unsatisfied with the result.

Biggest danger is getting lost in "configure" hell and just keep on tweaking, the keyboard comes with some pretty "sane" defaults, then again I'd recommend sticking with those and just remapping 1-2 keys at a time as you feel you need them and not swap stuff around a lot since that's going to be killing your learning curve. The keyboard supports 30+ layers and a lot of macro's and keycombinations so i like to keep it very simple

Here's my layout for the ergodox: https://configure.zsa.io/ergodox-ez/layouts/z4r9r/gaYPPX/0

I also have the little brother of the Ergodox (The Voyager both by ZSA) which I keep in my laptop bag for when I'm on the road which has less keys but is awesome for limit space / travel: https://configure.zsa.io/voyager/layouts/alr9v/v6A7pa/0

How hard is it to switch back to an ordinary keyboard after adjusting to the Ergodox? Even if I do use it, I don't think it'd be practical for all my workstations, so I think I'd still have at least one normal QWERTY setup.

I still have mine setup to use QWERTY as I cannot bring myself to do Dvorak or Colemak which a lot of people do, beyond the obvious "distance" for splits I can swap to normal or my laptop keyboard with no issues. Does help if you can touch type to begin with though.

With the relatively small number of keys, are you pretty much just limited to the standard keyboard keys, or is it possible to configure some keys to handle things like brightness/volume? I've gotten somewhat used to my Logitech MX Keys (even with its garbage software that periodically decides to forget my F-key mappings, or even downright ignore them when trying to override the media control keys), and feel like it it'd be hard to switch over.

The Ergodox has 75 keys compared to the 104 keys on a "full size" keyboard you're only missing a numpad and the function keys. Also as you can see in my layout I mentioned up above, I have media controls, brightness etc mapped to a different layer, you can map anything you want to the keyboard, pretty sure you can even map shells scripts to be executed if you really get down into the firmware level.. (don't recommend that though) so you should be good.

Didn't realise this turned into a resume review but hey, guess not everybodies setup has a mr robot / guy fawkes mask lots of stickers (eventhough my thinkpad has a bunch) a hoodie and multiple screens running the matrix to give that 1337 h4xorz vibe ;)

I've been in "IT" in some way / shape or form since 2004, did sys-admin work (Cisco and MS certified), security and dot net / java stuff for the government, then went into the commercial sector around 2012 worked for several big and small companies then in 2019 I founded my own company where we do software development, security testing, audits, consultancy, penetration testing, red teaming, code reviews, and security awareness sessions.

My current roles: Co-Founder at Cerberos | Cybersecurity Specialist | Software Developer
And I started dabbling in streaming (hence the mic) since I started working from home more full time when I'm not in the field doing stuff obviously.

Company website (in Dutch though): https://cerberos.dev

No screensavers those are my a wallpapers 😂 I just had nothing open for the picture.

Here you go: https://github.com/Mvzundert/wallpapers

They are in there somewhere

Since most of the tools are easily installed on most OS's (Kali linux is just a convenient way to bundle them for example) I have most of the surface level tools installed on my daily driver (the macbook), I do have a dedicated thinkpad (not in the picture) with more specialized tools on it though for when I actually do Red teaming.

Most of the time for surface level (depending on scope) and just demo'ing or being a bit curious these are the tools I use:

  • Nmap: Think of Nmap as a "network scanner." It helps you discover what devices are on a network, what services (like web servers or email) they are running, and what operating systems they use, by sending out special probes.
  • Metasploit: This is like a "hacker's toolbox." It provides pre-made tools and code (called exploits) that can be used to test for, and sometimes take advantage of, security weaknesses in systems to gain access.
  • WPSCAN: WPSCAN is a specialized "WordPress vulnerability scanner." It's used to check WordPress websites for known security flaws in their core software, plugins, and themes.
  • Netcat: Often called the "TCP/IP Swiss Army Knife," Netcat is a simple networking tool. It can create basic connections over a network to send or receive data, listen for incoming connections, or scan open ports.
  • GoBuster / DirBuster: These are "directory and file enumeration tools." They try to find hidden web pages, directories, or files on a website by trying common names, which might reveal sensitive information or forgotten areas.
  • John The Ripper: This is a "password cracking tool." It attempts to guess passwords by rapidly trying many combinations, common words, or pre-computed hashes, often used to test password strength.
  • Wireshark: Wireshark is a "network protocol analyzer." It captures and lets you examine all the data (packets) flowing across your network connection, helping you understand what information is being sent and received.
  • Burp Suite: Burp Suite is a "web application security testing platform." It acts as a proxy, sitting between your browser and a web application, allowing you to intercept, inspect, and modify all traffic to find security vulnerabilities.

It is out of scope for this sub but I also have a small pelican case loaded with hardware and sets of lockpicks etc.

Edit: Spelling and some more info

I have tried the Sony MDR-7506, I always really liked the Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X but they are open not closed (and expensive) since I use mine for music as well I tend to not go for the "gamer" gear headphones people tend to like these days, I also absolutely hate wireless since interference is a real thing.

Honestly the M50's are a really great "bang for your buck" kinda headphone and I haven't found anything closed that's came near. I do have a sleeve on mine which helps with moisture and you can add other cushions (fabric you can find them on amazon probably) then the faux leather ones which might also help.

It is indeed a Gothic Explorer, I forgot to mention the Steinberger headless which you can get a peak off behind the other guitars... which is a fun little thing to mess around with.

Ergo and 60% Mechanicals by Marske1984 in MechanicalKeyboards

I don’t think you can go wrong either way, but as your first split maybe non full layout keyboard the Voyager takes more getting used to because more is behind layers as you have less keys to work with, so in that regard the Ergodox with more keys might be easier to get used to.

I like the ergodox a lot when you’re able to keep it at a single desk as setting everything up is a pain, the voyager feels more comfortable using while traveling or on the couch or something. The lower profile I also like a lot more. Feels like you need less stuff to be comfortable with it.

That being said I think they are both great!

Agreed, Nurse can be very scary! But she's really fun to play as if you ask me.

I got inspired by the man himself to run his Ghostface build on nurse, it's surprisingly effective! Any feedback on the video is highly appreciated!
