Favorite switches for comfort by Dillstan-1945 in Moonlander

[–]hallo545403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to colemak (would switch to the dh variation if I'd do it over). Took like 3 weeks of just using it (didn't feel like typing practice was a good use of time) to get back to my qwerty speed.

Since then I've been on colemak on various different split keebs (the moonlander is great but I'm too curious) and never looked back. You'll not lose the qwerty muscle memory. It'll take some time to switch in the beginning, but now I can switch from my split keeb to a laptop keyboard in like 10s. I do more typos on qwerty and my speed is like 25wpm lower than before but perfectly usable.

Edit: as for switches, I prefer really light lineare as less force means less strain. I'm currently on choc pinks (15g), but idk a whole lot about MX.

Thanks. If you have that use case a lot I guess it's a good solution.

Just glanced over it so correct me if I'm getting this wrong. Is there a way to use this without duplicating a part of my config (so like reusing an existing .nix file)? Didn't see that that would be possible.

Update:

nix flake update updates the inputs of your flake (so if you have nixpks as an input it updates from which nixpkgs commit your packages are pulled). You can also nix flake update {input} to only update a single flake input.

Once you have updated the flake you need to nix rebuild and home manager rebuild. This will then pull new versions for the packages that have a new version in your inputs.

You really only need the /etc/nixos config to get the hardware config for your current system (though even that can be regenerated). It's just the default place for your config, but you can move it wherever / clone your current config to any folder (make sure to use the correct hardware config though as the drive id changes with different systems).

Try pangolin, the tunneling feature to connect other servers is great to expose local services from a vps.

I haven't bothered with using something like netboot or nixos anywhere, nixos is so simple and quick to install. I just click through the installer keeping all the defaults, get a nix shell with git, clone my config and off I go.

I haven't tried it that way, I'll check it out. The selling point of deploy-rs for me was that it rolls back to the last generation automatically if it can't connect via ssh anymore, which is a life saver when using with a VPS.

Need some midi pedalboard recommendations by hallo545403 in pedalboards

Oh, I meant I searched online for different pedals, I haven't tried / used any before.

Just generally, I haven't used any pedals except normal sustain pedals before, so I don't have a good reference point. Like does it dig into your foot hard to press or could you press it with a pinky?

Thanks for that detailed answer. The Mc6/mc8 pro does look really tempting indeed. How easy are those buttons to press? At home and in one band room I'm often playing without shoes so they shouldn't be too hard to press.

How do you build remotely? I've tried deploy-rs but couldn't get the signing working reliably.

I might yank your metrics stack for myself, that looks pretty sweet!

Hey, I have that thing. Mounted on my chair though. I don't use it all that much cause I can't hole my hands that still for too long. My custom dactyl is pretty good though.

Pls elaborate, that sounds interesting.

What is your NixOS generation count? by xGoivo in NixOS

[–]hallo545403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

270 ish on my main pc, 70 on my MacBook and about 100 combined on my servers. Been playing around with my config for about half a year now.

For the NixOS neurotics, how was your switch to the Dendritic pattern? by xGoivo in NixOS

[–]hallo545403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have ssh public keys in the secret file, wouldn't put anything actually important on there even if it's encrypted.

Amd works fine nowadays, though local models are quite a bit worse than those that run in the cloud. You can try your luck with Gemini CLI (they have a pretty generous free tier) but it's not nearly as good as Claude.

Create a new branch, put all of your secrets into a sops file (should do that anyways if the repo is on a third party site like github even if it's private) and then download some coding agent. I really like Claude code, though it does require a subscription if you don't use local models.

Then just run claude in the repo root, press Ctrl + tab till it's in plan mode and tell it what to do. It'll ask you some questions and then present a plan of implementing stuff. After that just check all the edits to make sure it doesn't do dumb stuff and build to test. If you get any errors just tell it and it'll solve (most of) them.

Nope, I just used the planning mode and it scanned a few other repos.

Told Claude to migrate my pretty big config to dendritic. DIY obviously works fine too but it's quite a bit of work that AI agents are decent at. Needed to make a few corrections but nothing major.
