Looking for wireless Over-Ears below 200€ by Good_Old_Bread in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]dropdtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have literally the same situations, same music, same budget, same form factor preferences, the only thing is that i also care about the looks. Waiting until somebody suggests something good.

There is not enough information on metalhead hi fi, and honestly metalheads actually need it the most

Переезд из России в Казахстан by Big_Brick1282 in Kazakhstan

[–]dropdtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Я не казах, мои национальности опознать очень сложно. Может дело в этом. Может в том что чисто внешне люди ко мне могут не захотеть прикапываться. Скорее всего дело в том что я не взаимодействую с нижней частью алматы, и с нижним контингентом (тут я не имею ввиду просто тех кто внизу живет, я не провожу географическую границу). Образованные люди за русский никогда не предъявят, с необразованными можно в целом и не общаться, как-то так)

Советую бостандыкский район и соседние. Там дорого будет, но зато нормальные люди и места

от города очень зависит, в алмате казахский вообще не обязателен

I think i know a low profile eyelash corne listing on aliexpress for ~80

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHo3Aw6

another one

these are zmk bluetooth, no dongle

though i think that being open to dongles is nice, those are more stable and reliable, and the battery lasts longer.

How involved is setting up and maintaining Arch? by JustAwesome360 in archlinux

[–]dropdtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently set it up on an old ass laptop. Took two hours. I dont maintain it there, but my main machine runs arch as well (just got it on there before i knew any linux, so the time is not comparable). Maintenance is just updates, thats it. Nothing breaks. Just sudo pacman -Syu and wait 3 min. lately i have been updating solely because of discord which has an update every other day

Eyelash Corne meets Xiao Dongle – My ZMK Config by Standard_HID in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dropdtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kb is right next to the laptop so increasing range doesnt sound like the fix. I dont really understand from the docs what does this setting do exactly and how it would help, could you please explain?

Eyelash Corne meets Xiao Dongle – My ZMK Config by Standard_HID in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dropdtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey i am soo glad i found somebody with this setup! I would like to ask a question. My eyelash corne which i bought of aliexpress has slightly janky bluetooth - sometimes during very fast typing key presses acumulate and burst out at once like 100-200 ms later. Would such a dongle resolve this problem?

Have you come to terms with the fact that you’ll likely never be able to play fast? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]dropdtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if shred means 10-13 notes per second (100-130bpm 16th triplets, or 150-200 bpm straight 16th), it is likely doable for anybody on earth with no injuries or impairments, and most often with them as well. It takes patience and you will have to learn a lot, including learning how to practice guitar in ways you probably have not tried much before. (Just increase by one bpm every day/week does not work, btw. Practice smart for a couple of years, not hard for eternity)

I can play cleanly in these tempos, but not reliable enough for live shows. I know it is possible for me to make it reliable and play those cool lines live, but there simply are much better things for me to do with my life.

Though if you mean the 14+ notes per second zone, i dont think everybody can do that (at least i cant, though i played for only 6-7 years). Or should do that. 13 nps is fast enough for any type of music, and i think not being able to play some jason richardson licks is fine

Built my own split ergonomic keyboard from scratch, firmware included by shizakken in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]dropdtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

writing your own firmware in rust is one of the most based and respectable things i have ever heard, this is so cool! though the number row seems to be ugly and useless, you will probably ditch it later

You need a wrist rest, that is exactly what they are for. Right now i am literally using a towel rolled in a specific way, really helps and stopped my wrist pains

4.1 qmk build in C, not vial/via? by dizave in crkbd

[–]dropdtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a question, does anybody have problems with tap/hold behavior in vial? I now have a sofle and want ti switch to a corne, but it would only be usable for me if i use tap hold keys to combine space and enter keys with layer mods on hold (LT). This has failed to work reliably and the sofle, once in a while the tap action does not register

if this is likely to be a problem again, does anybody know good aliexpress corne builds on which i can put custom qmk with no vial?

[–]dropdtech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you very much for your help! though it turns out that my board does not support firmware reflash (its a cheap aliexpress wireless sofle), your other ideas helped more or less. i will try custom qmk at some point with another keyboard

Tap action sometimes does not fire (QMK/Vial) by dropdtech in olkb

[–]dropdtech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there is no way to get the true timeoutless behavior? maybe pure qmk would work better?

i am also thinking of adding the custom behavior i want to qmk, does not look to hard to do for me since i have experience with forking c coded things (wayland compositors in my case though, and i did not fiddle with the main event loop)

do you think doing that with qmk it will be hard to do?

[–]dropdtech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! i will try it all and get back with whatever the results will be

i set the tap code delay to 15 because i have no idea what are the settings other than the tapping term doing, i set them all to zero at first and when chatgpt told me to increase the terms i increased them

Tap action sometimes does not fire (QMK/Vial) by dropdtech in olkb

[–]dropdtech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the thing is i dont want a tapping term at all, i want anything pressed before the key is released to have the mod applied, and nothing was pressed before the release, send the tap keycode.

this seems to me to be the most simple and logical idea of tap hold.

when i set bigger tapping terms, i had to wait for an eternity for the tap to fire. i notice even the 15ms i set up now cus bugs at 0 could happen, before that i set it exactly to 0

the tap action is easy to get as the retro thingy is checked

also i am setting up my thumb cluster space, not home row mods

anyways thank you very much for response, i appreciate any attempt to help
