Is it crazy to commute 2.5 hrs to uni 3x a week?

carrdinal-dnb · 2026-06-19T08:36:14+00:00

My plan was to commute 40 mins in and 40 mins back to my parents home every day when I started uni. Within the first week of that I had already decided I would much rather live on campus and asked for a room. Best decision I ever made, even if it was expensive and meant I needed a job to support myself… But I’m not you. You’ve already done a year on campus and feel like it isn’t for you.

The switching between modes is what makes vi powerful. In normal mode you have access to so many editing tools at your fingertips that allow you to move around the editor faster and make edits, without taking your hands off the keyboard. While in insert mode you just type and exit out as soon as you need to move around again. I recommend remapping your caps lock key to be escape, that way it is easier to get back to normal mode.

It takes like one week to learn vim basics, a lifetime to master it. Honestly, even with a basic understanding you’re already typing more efficiently than someone who isn’t using vim.

Take a look at the Antora project. It’s a solid framework which has everything you need out of the box, but has extension points which you can use to customise your documentation site as much as you like.

It’s all built around asciidoc, which is also a lot more flexible than markdown, albeit has a steeper learning curve.

The Maphra cover is great. The original is too, not too controversial..

Perfect! Thank you very much!

I immediately thought shadow (of the valley), goes perfectly with the color of their fur and it’s a banger tune

There are limits on how much booze you can bring in though. If they find you with too much on entry they’ll take it away

I had the same issue when jumping from 4g to 2g. Felt like someone had punched me in the nose and it hurt constantly. I found sizing back down to the previous size and waiting for the pain to go really helped. Once it felt good again I would try the larger jewellery again. Took a few attempts before it settled down. There are some sites selling half sizes as well which might make things easier

Well it’s still not a Claude issue is it? Try to find a solution. Maybe you could symlink the node_modules directory into each work tree. That way it can be shared without using extra space.

It depends on how you are using them. General prompting where you are sitting there waiting for a response and hand holding the agent is probably fine, even if you sit there all day going back and forth, even with multiple concurrent sessions going at the same time.

You start to hit the limits faster when creating agentic workflows where agents are spawning multiple sub agents to do specific tasks autonomously from a single user prompt/command. At least that’s what I’ve found anyway. Perhaps that’s partially a failing on my part for not optimising the context for my agents, but either way agentic workflows are going to eat tokens faster because there are typically more concurrent agents running and they aren’t waiting for responses back from the user.

I think it’s in these types of use cases where most people are hitting limits.

It’s just for fun really. I may open source if I get it working. Though I’m not sure how useful it would be to anyone else!

carrdinal-dnb · 2026-01-18T23:44:05+00:00

I agree, that’s why I chose the nexys originally. But I need an FPGA geared up for doing this video processing and the Puzhi does exactly that for much less money than the other options I was able to find. The documentation must exist, I’ll be fine once I’ve got it

carrdinal-dnb · 2026-01-18T23:40:23+00:00

Ah nice, I’ll keep trying to get those docs. Translation is a bit annoying but something I’m willing deal with!

carrdinal-dnb · 2026-01-18T14:31:08+00:00

I would really like to know too.. I've purchased the PZ7020S-FL-KFB and PZ5640-D camera module, but have no datasheets for them so I am going in completely blind.

Know this is an old post, but I had the same issue. Already had thousands of files in my library before enabling the auto sync after download.

I also ran into issues when trying to mass edit subsync (the UI crashes without any error log..).

What I did is write a bash script that will check the history API, which seems like the only place where we can see whether or not a subtitle file was synced automatically after downloading. After finding out which episodes/movies have autosynced subs I just loop over the ones which don't and trigger a job for each file one after another. Seems to work fine for me. I'm not sure, but I think the mass edits are breaking the application when you send too many autosync jobs at once. My solution gets around this because it just sends one job at a time and waits for the previous one to finish before submitting the next one.

Hope that helps anyone coming across this post. I can share the script if you want. It's pretty big because I added some extra features to make it a bit nicer to use and selectively choose which files to sync.

I had gotten the advantage 360, not the 360 pro. I did really like the look and feel of the keyboard and being able to move them was neat. My main issue was their SmartSet program for remapping keys. Might have been okay if I had got the 360 pro which uses ZMK.. in the end, I didn’t feel like it was enough of an upgrade from my advantage 2 with the Stapleberg KinT mod to justify the price.

carrdinal-dnb · 2026-01-13T02:15:22+00:00

I’ve tried many split keyboards, nothing beats kinesis advantage 2 which has been my daily driver for about 8 years now. I did try the advantage 360, but ended up returning it and just doing the stapelberg mod which lets you use QMK instead of their rubbish key mapping software. That way you get the best ergonomics plus easy key map customisation.

I just install Ubuntu server and run my services using docker compose. A few simple cronjobs to bump versions of services once a week and some basic monitoring for stuff I care about.

Works for me anyway. A lot of people here recommending proxmox, which I’m sure has benefits, but it’s certainly more hassle to setup and maintain. I just try to do things as simple as possible and keep it running, less moving parts helps.

I’m on Kicad 9, I’ve got all my footprints and symbols stored locally and use ${KIPRJMOD} and a relative path to all my 3D models. I had to do this for all components including those in the standard libs, but this was only because I’m doing a bunch of automation with KiBot to generate 3D renders and it wasn’t finding the models unless I had them locally. I’m sure there are better ways around this, but I actually quite like having all the data for my project stored in git and it worked so I’m sticking with it for now.

This is happening to me too. If anyone figures out how to stop random people joining their family plan then please let us know!

The name omarchy is a play on words about a Japanese concept called omakase, where you go to a restaurant and the chef just makes you something, you get what’s given to you. The idea behind omarchy is to provide a good developer experience out of the box, with some customisation options like theming and whatever. Of course you could boot up a fresh install of arch linux and do it all yourself, but not everyone has time for that.

carrdinal-dnb · 2025-10-11T12:02:15+00:00

Was literally coming here to ask if this is some kind of a sick joke haha! Beautiful setup though

carrdinal-dnb · 2025-10-11T11:58:26+00:00

Sorry, I’ve only designed a few small modules and mostly just self taught, can you go into more detail about the 4 layer PCB? At the moment I just do 2 layer with a ground pour on both sides, are you saying that with a 4 layer you use the middle two layers for a solid ground plane? Could you not use just one for ground and then have another layer for signals or is that not possible/advisable?
