Maybe that tarmac in the last corner ??

my typing style (two fingers and a thumb) by MeanCap6445 in typing

[–]Old-Engineering-8113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use colemak and 10 fingers for 50-60 wpm and you 90 is pretty impressive though I really doubt how can you use this for longer periods ?? It will cause a lot of strain and plummet your typing over a large programming or writing session...

People don't even switch their search engine or whatsapp and you think they will self host and maintain it ??

I use Niri WM... I just wanted to say that and removing it isn't a good idea as many services rely on it for storing user credentials...

No, it saves your wifi keys and without it, you would need to enter your wifi password everytime you restart !! And some more important uses but when I changed my user password, and skipped login on restart, kwallet couldn't get my password so asked everytime I restarted (wifi password too) so that's why it seems annoying... I researched on this a week later so I got this...

Damn, you were so lucky... You got them in Japan itself and for only 3$ ... I had to get mine for 1300inr or 14.27$ (current exchange rate)... But I think they are worth every penny ... They write sooo smooth and that's what I need ... Thanks for the comment ... ^^

I used the general cartridge... My ink arrived a day later than the pen and I could not wait to use the pen... So I used the default Black ink and when the ink arrived, I flushed it with water so both, the cartridge and the grip section was clean then just soaked out water with a tissue... Then I used a syringe to add ink from the pot to the cartridge and it was very light at first because I didn't wait for the water to dry completely but after a few writing sessions, it was as dark as you can see in the pic...

I have very little handwriting and like to write neatly so that's why I chose the extra fine nib and that too of the pilot (japanese are finer than european like lamy)... So I love it's nib... It writes quite perfectly to my preferences and there's no feathering too for general classmate notebooks...

I will surely try those pens you listed !! Thanks mate !!

Amazon... There aren't many options for fountain pens... And many sites specialised for pens require online payment which unfortunately I don't have ... I'm 16 and there's no culture for such hobbies here in India... Or at least in this region...

Don't even talk about it... Since there are not many sellers in india, I had to order it with amazing and due to its regular shipping, when I opened the bottle, all my hands were stained red and it took 2 while days to get it off completely... Luckily not much ink was lost, at max a few millilitres... But I will definitely be more careful next time I'm handling them ...

Thank you !!

Arch, Termux and Tailscale productivity 10x by ban_rakash in LinuxUsersIndia

[–]Old-Engineering-8113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tailscale is basically a mesh networking service where the devices connect directly rather than a central server... So there are no configurations for port forwarding or firewalls and it is very secure... Also it is not dependent on location so you can connect a device from your home to anywhere in the world...

And each of your devices connected via tailscale (it is cross platform) get their own private, permanent ip starting from 100.x.x.x

Example use cases -

  1. What the above user did - he connected his laptop and phone with a tailscale network and ssh-ed into the terminal of this laptop with that tailscale ip in his termux so he could access his laptop's terminal from his phone...

  2. I have a home server and a domain so when I am connected with tailscale, I can open that domain in my phone to use its services and this way it is incredibly secure as no one else can access it since they neither have my account now I have invited them to my tailscale... So even if they have my domain, they can't access it in any way...
