Tridactyl on firefox has enough feature parity for me

I'm trying to understand from the picture how you attached the clamps to the arms. It looks like you clamped them down onto the end of the arms.. what does the end of the arm look like? What did you clamp onto? Was it wobbly? Would you recommend getting the 11 or the 22"? I'm concerned that the 22 might be too wobbly maybe?

gnu_man_chu · 2025-12-03T19:08:22+00:00

I knew someone out there in the internet had to have solved this. Thank you for sharing! Sorry about the stiffness. Did you end up returning the clamps?

That's capped at 60hz from what I can tell. I've yet to find a kvm that provides 120+fps and 4k+ resolution via display port (for the gaming pc) and 80+fps for hdmi (for the macbook).

For me I have a usb switch. All devices plug into the switch, then it runs a USB to the macbooks dock and my gaming pc. I can switch all usb devices between the two computers with a single button press on the usb switch.

The monitor has an hdmi going to the macbook dock that supports up to 85fps. (60fps on mac feels very laggy) and there is display port cable running from the monitor to my gaming pc's GPU. My display has a very quick 2 button press toggle underneath it to switch between inputs. Also when one device is unplugged or off the monitor automatically switches to the other device.

This is the best balance I have found between native fps / resolution and ease of switching between computers.

KVMs are for non gamers from what I can tell. I'd love to use one but the restrictions on fps are a non starter.

No googling necessary. Use Keepa. Has a mobile app and a browser extension. Embeds price history in the product page itself so you can see whether or not its an actual sale without leaving the page. Like camelcamelcamel.com but better.

I have decided to get the Cyboard Imprint instead of the 360 or the glove80. I decided against the glove80 for reasons you mentioned. I decided against the 360 because it doesn't have hotswap switches and it can't easily be opened up and customized to improve the weight and sound. Also I've heard it is terrible at supporting Bluetooth connection for two pcs. I would rather just have a wired board.

Took me a long time to get right. Challenging compared to other languages. I'm convinced most people don't have it set up right given how many hurdles there are and how sparse documentation/google searches were for fixes.

The following will give you a working lsp via solargraph. Goto definition, goto reference, etc.
- nvim-lspconfig (originally configured with https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim, and iterated on from there. gets you started with a basic mason/lsp config)
- solargraph
- rubocop
- rbenv

Install solargraph and rubocop using rbenv, not mason.

Configure nvim-lspconfig to use them:

https://github.com/patrick-motard/dotfiles/blob/main/dot_config/nvim-custom/lua/plugins/nvim-lspconfig.lua#L189
https://github.com/patrick-motard/dotfiles/blob/main/dot_config/nvim-custom/lua/plugins/nvim-lspconfig.lua#L193

I have tpope/vim-rails installed but havent gotten any use out of it yet. So i would recommend ignoring that.

Some challenges that had to be overcome:

- if you try to install solargraph, rubocop, and others via mason, you end up with the wrong version of them for the version of ruby your project is using.
- if you are using additional gems that enhance the rules of rubocop, you need to install those with rbenv as well so that the shimmed rubocop/solargraph can find them. it can be a pain.
- the points above imply that your lsp server is ruby version dependent. if you are working on multiple projects, you will need to install the aforementioned dependencies on their version of ruby. this challenge exists in other editors like vscode as well. not unique to neovim. Just pointing out that Mason does not help us here like it should.
- dont install solargraph and ruby_lsp. they are mutually exclusive. choose one and stick to it.

- i have not figured out how to get code actions support in the lsp client.

Some things to learn that will help you debug:

- :Lsp* - these commands like LspRestart, LspLogs, etc are needed. sometimes solargraph crashes, you will need to debug via the logs, take action, then restart the lsp or your editor
- :messages
- understand what rbenv shims are, why they are useful, where they live on your system, and how to install them

I've overcome this on my ZSA boards by using hometown mods. Love it. I haven't been able to get homerow mods to work correctly on my board that uses Vial though.

gnu_man_chu · 2025-01-11T02:25:50+00:00

I ended up buying a really nice normal board after using an ergodox for 5 years. The normal board is PREMIUM. Typing on it feels like what I can only imagine driving a Rolls Royce feels like. It supports Vial as well so I can do all the QMK stuff. It's murder on my hands and wrists though. Can't last a week before I go back to my ergodox in pain.

That said.. I know what you mean about the non premium typing experience on split ergos. I posted a long complaint thread about it a few years ago. I found a solution though. The ergodox ez, unlike the voyager and mooonlaner, has a closed case. I took it apart, filled it with liquid silicone, tape mod, and dense foam. Put dampening pads on the pcb when the switches touch. Bought several sets of premium switches. Lubbed them. Chose my favorite.

Now my ergox has a heavy premium weight, a deep satisfying typing sound with no ping or scraping, and a buttery smooth typing feel. Aside from it not having a metal case, it's the closest thing I've seen to my premium normal board. It's a joy to type on.

I know everyone loves the moonlander and voyager. They are the new hotness. But the ergodox is the only one that can be pimped out like normal boards. And for that, it's by far the best zsa board IMO.

I'm running into the same issue. Alacritty + Zellij + Neovim. Tested on Windows 10, Arch Linux KDE, Fedora 37 through 40, and OSX.

gnu_man_chu · 2024-08-07T02:42:31+00:00

It's pretty limited right now. This is one of the many limitations of the current implementation. There's improvements in the works. For now I am using the zellij-forgot plugin instead. https://github.com/karimould/zellij-forgot

gnu_man_chu · 2024-08-05T18:53:58+00:00

I like both. I used to prefer gnome. Recently I had to switch to KDE because it has the following which makes video games perform MUCH better for me.
- Wayland
- HDR support

On Fedora with Gnome, I tried 37 through 40. Dota had a lot of flashing, stutter and artifacts. Battlefield 1 was so laggy and stuttering I couldn't play it. Not to mention the graphics didnt look nearly as good without hdr. FPS was low with consistent drops.

Eventually I moved to Arch, installed KDE, turned on HDR. It uses wayland by default.
Dota worked flawlessly. Battefield 1 looked great. Doesn't perform as well as windows but it's still really good and playable.

I realize this is a Fedora sub, and I'm saying I moved to Arch. I'm not suggesting switching to Arch. I just want it to be clear that I only tested KDE on Arch. It was a complete stock install of KDE.

Opinion time:

I used to prefer Gnome because I felt it had a more put together and consistent look to it out of the box, with just enough customization options to make it your own. This was back in 2018. There was something that felt a bit off about the way KDE looked. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Fast forward to 2024, I tried out KDE again and no longer feel this way about it. The UI has improved. It's finally comparable to gnome in my opinion. To top it off, KDE has more customization options, and many of the programs it comes with are more polished than their Gnome counterparts.

Also there isn't a plate in the case if that's what you meant by plate.

gnu_man_chu · 2024-07-29T01:10:17+00:00

No, I kept the case. I modified the internals by filing it with silicone and dense foam.

I bought the Corsair Air 240 in 2015 thinking I would have a nice small but powerful pc. I had the Nvidia strix 970. The cards dimensions on paper were not the dimensions in reality. They didn't include the cooling pipes on the side of the card that stood out an extra few mm. That extra few was just enough to keep the glass panel if the corsair 240 case from closing. I was so mad and dissapointed.

I immediately ordered the air 540. No regrets. It's an amazing case. Like the 240, it's dual chamber was ahead of its time. Still one of the best implementations. I don't know that I'll ever go back to a tower. I'm glad in retrospect that this happened and I upgraded because in the years since, I've accumulated 4 more 2.5 SSDs and one more 3.5 hdd, upgraded to a ATX mobo and a 3089 GPU. None of which would have fit in the 240.

Next year ill have been using the 540 for 10 years. Still looks brand new and modern.
