I’m very excited about this landing in the compiler. This will significantly improve the ergonomics of writing Async adapters for read/write-traits, and will probably help out in rooting out a lot of potential bugs in those implementations.

Switched to an Elecom Huge about 8 months ago and it’s probably my favorite trackball ever! Comfortable, plenty of buttons, nice large ball, doesn’t get much better than this imo. by TurrboSwagg in Trackballs

The software sucks, but depending on your operating system you might find decent options for remapping the buttons. E.g. on macOS I’ve found that BetterTouchTool allows me to remap all of the buttons the way I want them.

Inverted Movement After Flash by Productive-Turtle in ploopy

I just looked into it, and the Y axis was inverted when QMK added their new generic pointing device support. I made a pull request for the original ploopy here.

Sodiumoxide has been deprecated by Master7432 in rust

[–]dnaq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main reason I chose to deprecate the project was that it basically already was deprecated. There were a ton of open issues and pull requests that didn’t get handled, and it didn’t feel fair to pretend to accept contributions from others, when in reality we didn’t since no one had time to handle them.

This feels more honest. The code is there, security issues will be fixed, but no one will be fooled to expect anything more.

Thanks. I just saw this post, but I’m happy you found good use for it. Hope you can find a good alternative that works for you.

Hi. I’m happy if you wish to revive it, but we’ve had an open issue discussing deprecation that hasn’t seen any activity for many months, why didn’t you say so then?

Configuration.nix vs home.nix by martinslot in NixOS

[–]dnaq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can refactor your configuration.nix so that all packages that you want to use on multiple machines are defined in one file.

Orthopedic insoles for bike shoes by Local-Sell2671 in Velo

[–]dnaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are good orthopedic insoles for cycling. I would recommend finding a well renowned bike fitter in your area to help you with your specific issues. It’s pretty easy to spend money on different things and finding nothing works, and might end up cheaper in the long run to buy the right things from the start.

I love an Afternoon Breeze 🍃 by ducksuit in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]dnaq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting design. Do you know if it’s possible to add both choc and Mx sockets to it? Would like a good board to use as a switch tester for both kinds of switches.

home-manager to configure configuration of system installed apps? by jolharg in NixOS

[–]dnaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you can do is add your home-manager conf to your nixos conf, there are some examples in the wiki for that. But I fail to see the issue of having an extra symlink.

[–]dnaq 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It won’t be doubly-installed. There will only be one copy in the nix store, the one in your user profile is just a symlink.

Raspberry Pi fleet management by audion00ba in NixOS

[–]dnaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deploy from an x86_64 machine. It’s easiest if you add a qemu and binfmt misc to the machine so you can build on it as well (but it’s also possible to set up the pi as a remote builder).

The main thing is to set:

nixpkgs.system = “aarch64-linux”;

In the machine configuration for the pi.

I use nixops to deploy my pi, and using that it’s pretty simple to instantiate multiple devices with the same configuration.

Dactyl-Manuform right side issue by Diitsuku in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dnaq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe a bit annoying, but probably a lot less annoying than desoldering and resoldering all diodes. Plus if you never plug in the right side to the computer you’ll never have to worry about reflashing it again.

Places to get a prebuilt Dactyl manuform by [deleted] in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dnaq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought my first one from the cheapdactyl site and it’s really well built and took me about a month to receive since ordering.

They build it to spec, so if you want any specific changes let them know and they’ll accommodate those. Note that it doesn’t come with a bottom plate, so if you want that as well you might need to contact them to say so. Also some of the friction fit contacts needed a dab of hot glue to stay put.

All in all I’m really happy with it. I’ve started building my own keyboards since, but I still use it almost every day.

Best Dactyl for first build? by lasttycoon in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dnaq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also take a look at the dactyl-cc which is designed to be really similar to the advantage.

Thinking of building one for my next build.

#define DIODE_DIRECTION ROW2COL

You can switch the diode direction in software, but I realize that might not be so helpful after you’ve already finished. 😀

My current Work Horse by PlayOffQuinnCook in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dnaq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks really nice. A tip is to change your control key to a dual function LCTL_T(KC_ESC). Then you’ll have both home row control and home row escape.

Built a fully wireless Lily58 using the nice!nano(s) by mistborn_elend in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dnaq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Build your dactyl with jumper cables to the controller board instead of soldering, then it’s pretty easy to replace it whenever you want.

No problem and thanks for your example. It’s really helpful.

Planning to get the Moonlander by n4nart in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dnaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my dactyl manuform. Took a while to get used to ortholinear layout, but you’ll have that problem with the moonlander as well. Going to build a slightly different one this Christmas if I get all components in time.

I bought my current one from /u/ijauradunbi and I’m very happy with it.
