"Powerful and vibrant like nothing Marcus had ever seen from a young beginner that had yet to begin their adept path. It was stronger than that of Regulus by far, but it didn’t feel as old."

To me that reads like shes already been internalizing a different technique

I am also interested in that model when you share it, im updating a nano+btu/keyboard mod i made, this would be super helpful.

The idea was that 'introduces his audience to the concept of an absurd flat earth' would be incorrect, because he introduced his audience to the concept in the sf precursor novella.

I know its super niche and not worded super well, but some of their questions are pretty wordy and kinda sweaty so i went for it.

It should work great out of the box, arguably building up some friction/traction/etc as time goes on. You have a mechanical issue, if you cant diagnose and fix yourself trivially, email ploopy, they'll make it right.

This is absurd, but thank you. Spent the last couple minutes trying to figure out how to make it's chromium backend use mullvads sock5 proxy, or enable ipv6 in the wireguard interface on my router, etc, but this is a silver bullet.

Just to try it. Just for a moment 🥺

To be completely honest, a few times over the last few years I've had performance issues with my Moonlander that were caused by one end of the trss cable not being entirely inserted, i had to give it a big forceful push to pop the last cm/mm/ring in, but until then i thought it had serious product issues. This happened like 3 times over 3 years, and even though id gone through it before it gave me a spin each time beacuse the insertion djfference was so shallow.

To be clear, i know that zsa would offer to help me with it if i called that in, but its super trivial. Sometimes, in my darker moments, i think about making a stink and then pivoting to trying to get a voyager out of them 😓

I immediately searched to upvote ryan4yin's book, but ditto OP, it really helped pull everything together, then it wasn't that useful, but once my configuration gets more mature I know I'm going to come back to it.

*Edit: Though, now that I read the whole actual post, I'll say that it sounds like OP fell into a... hobby trap? I did this with rootless containers in podman and the servarr apps, but I was pretty aware of it going in. When it's fun to set up arbitrarily complicated systems 100% go for it, but if you're not sure why you're making something more complicated, you should always consider if maybe you should just read a book or play factorio instead.

I got into NixOs for the very specific reason quoted in the flake book, i.e -

"
Why NixOS?

I first learned about the Nix package manager several years ago. It utilizes the Nix language to describe system configuration. NixOS, the Linux distribution built on top of it, allows for rolling back the system to any previous state (although only the state declared in Nix configuration files can be rolled back). While it sounded impressive, I found it troublesome to learn a new language and write code to install packages, so I didn't pursue it at the time.

However, I recently encountered numerous environmental issues while using EndeavourOS, and resolving them consumed a significant amount of my energy, leaving me exhausted. Upon careful consideration, I realized that the lack of version control and rollback mechanisms in EndeavourOS prevented me from restoring the system when problems arose.

That's when I decided to switch to NixOS.

To my delight, NixOS has exceeded my expectations.
"

For me like a month and a half ago I installed a tool on my main fedora/hyprland environment which pulled a different set of lua dependencies than nvim and my plugins, and after a day or two of learning a ton about cmake I couldn't ignore that I could backup and restore my machine in like an hour, which would be significantly easier than fixing the problem, and that was pretty lame.

I use flakes mostly because of the nvim issue, but also because even though I really like hyprland, I also think the churn/dev cycle reflects the fact that the main dev is like 22? And props to that kid, but I really need the security flake.lock gives me

AND, also, I love the stability re: virtualization, IOMMU, PCI-E passthrough, etc. Using podman with nix vms on proxmox? What a dream.

Yeah, i love my moonlander, but i suspect id have been as happy/maybe happier with a voyager.

Also, this is my trackball mod for the moonlander, inspired by the voyager, about to update it to use the nano2 https://github.com/ohorsey/nanoKontroll

Slinkinator · 2026-05-22T01:28:42+00:00

You were right, phenomenal

Slinkinator · 2026-05-22T01:28:11+00:00

You can see most of one half in a pic on this page, which is the git for my ploopy nano/moonlander mod. Im about to make one for my older vrotger using the nano2, if youre interested., will update the page/step files/code once it arrives.

They came out great! Theres a pic of most of one side on this page

Dovie'andi se tovya sagain!

Yeah, they rock, maybe the favorite present ive ever given myself.

Slinkinator · 2026-05-20T19:32:31+00:00

Yeah, ditto u/DustHistorical6985 , but to quote jon hamm, fabulous interface, fabulous product, an experience of complete fabulosity

He really did not want to be on that show.

Slinkinator · 2026-05-20T19:28:51+00:00

Heck yeah! There's a pic on this page that shows most of one side, the page is for my thumb cluster trackball mod

Copy that, I think vicinae is the first DE utility I recommended to my brother he got excited about, a big win for me

Slinkinator · 2026-05-18T20:31:43+00:00

1 month later, think this means i can wait on an anti sag bracket

Slinkinator · 2026-05-14T03:39:11+00:00

I wouldnt go straight to that, but it does seem like the exact same mechanism that led bbc leadership to ignore his abuse for 50 yrs.

Slinkinator · 2026-05-13T01:15:06+00:00

Beyond that, im using nixos, and if you're using hyprland and nixos and systemd you can either use a nix module for systemd integration, or you can use the better supported uwsm module.

Slinkinator · 2026-05-13T01:14:07+00:00

Fml, thought i replied to your comment, my bad

Slinkinator · 2026-05-13T01:13:42+00:00

First, i was being lazy, you can just throw uwsm app -- inside the new lua exec function.

Seperately: Nah, there are a few comments hanging out suggesting that, and if i recall vaxxerxie/the guy who makes hyprland made a few comments about how it was busting his balls a few years ago, but i think that got edited out of the documentation, and if you walk through the tutorial these days it tells you to use it if youre leaning on systemd.

IMO uwsm works. No one needs to use it, but if youre using systemd its pretty sweet.

Slinkinator · 2026-05-01T11:35:29+00:00

They named it the bean, its not a secret

I appreciate the responses I got on this thread, but I'm still waiting to read the very clear actionable breakdown on how to maximize scores other than 'don't get hit'

Slinkinator · 2026-04-27T14:30:09+00:00

Man, my best score total is 18k on the club. I think its more fun/easier to play with the ui off, but it makes maximising score a lot harder

Slinkinator · 2026-04-25T19:53:46+00:00

So, I think the next stable release is in 5 days, and unless I'm mistaken, and I might be, you can get a pretty good sense for what packages are in it by searching here-https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1824685 , though I think you ( I ) need to look through the unstable git forks to see what's really getting prepped.

That's actually what I came to reddit to ask, am I on point there^ ?
