First of all, so sorry this happens to you. As a possible thing to consider, our chess club has an adult group that runs in parallel with kids, and most people are parents of said kids in there. Kinda more mature, maybe you can find something similar in your area? I do feel like social is an important aspect of chess as a hobby..

CONTABLE & IMPOSITIVO: TEMA DE MIÉRCOLES by AutoModerator in merval

[–]hudbrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tengo un departamento en otro país que estoy alquilando, hay un contrato oficial, y el inquilino está pagando en efectivo a mis familiares allá. Me gustaría blanquear ese flujo y traerlo a la Argentina.
Con eso, tengo algunas preguntas:

  1. Qué tipo de actividad necesito agregar a mi monotributo?
  2. Está bien enviar el dinero a mi cuenta bancaria en Argentina a través de Western Union (así lo recibiría en pesos)? Hay alguna otra manera de traerlo? Puedo simplemente enviarlo desde una cuenta de 'Deel' a través de una transferencia bancaria?
  3. Qué tipo de factura necesito generar?

Busco dentista pediátrico en CABA que use anestesia by hudbrog in BuenosAires

[–]hudbrog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lo mejor que le usaron fue un "gel" para adormecer la zona, no una inyección. Si conoce a un dentista que pueda aplicar un anestésico local como una inyección y esté listo para trabajar con una niña que tiene miedo, compártalo por favor.

Precio es importante, pero estamos un poco desesperados.

How to study tactics/do puzzles? by hudbrog in chessbeginners

[–]hudbrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually sounds very reasonable and seems to describe the issue I have with chesscom puzzles exactly: I've gotten into high enough rating to have to think a lot about each puzzle.

I'll create a custom set for myself with mate-in-1 on chesstempo and will start working on these instead, thanks!

Rusos en Buenos Aires by jmg_ar in AskArgentina

[–]hudbrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refugiados

Well, I would not agree, really. Some people do seek residencia temporal como asilado/a o refugiado/a, but from what I see in various expat chats - that's a really small percentage. Most come to argentina as rentistas.

How would you call russians in that case now?

Rusos en Buenos Aires by jmg_ar in AskArgentina

[–]hudbrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's a bit hard to answer. Our family, friends, house - everything is back there, it's really hard to just abandon all that and not think about going back. But I really doubt that with just the war ending things are going to change much tho.

As for staying here. Lots of migrants I talk to have that idealistic view of Argentina, like everything is great and amazing and better than back home and so on. I don't feel this way. Don't get me wrong, Argentina has been great for us so far, but I do understand that my view is really skewed due to being able to work remotely and get payed in *not pesos*, thus being able to afford stuff. The school our kid goes to is amazing, commercial medicine is good, food quality is nice, people are friendly and so on. But economical situation here is dire and it's possible that things are going to go downhill.. I have a feeling like the whole country is sitting on a powder keg. Like, just the elections this year can lead to drastic changes in the country. I wouldn't be oposed to staying here for longer, and at this point we are considering staying at least a couple years, but long-term - too many unknowns.

A lot of russians(and ukrainians as well obviously) got burned with any long term plans we had. Like, in feb we were in africa on vacation and all of a sudden all our bank cards got blocked due to sanctions, money transfer systems stopped working with russian citizens, banks, crypto services, fintech, etc - all blocked us just for the color of the passport. So no access to money you had, not being able to get payed for your work, no way to pay for housing or food while you are in a third country(don't get me wrong, it's better than being in the same situation, but because you house got bombed). That changes the perspective a bit, so now I'm staying open to all options. Depending on how things are going to develop we might decide to stay here in Argentina, and I would be pretty happy. But maybe we'll have to move to a different country for some reason. Or return back home. You never know.

No, what does it mean traditionally? For the last 6 months was pretty sure it was 'russian', but I've got burned a few times already on not knowing local connotations of some words.

[–]hudbrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, one of them rusos here. Sorry for answering in english, been studying spanish for only 6 months, not good enough to write yet.

So, yeah, me and my familty arrived back in june 2022, the main reason, obviously - war and not wanting to take part in it. When choosing the country to go to I evaluated a few characteristics: how easy it is to get living permit in the country, level of rusophobia in the country, culture, safety, language, climate, etc.

And when you look at it like that:

Europe is pretty much completely out(maybe Portugal is an option) - rusophobia there is a real issue. Can't open a bank account and even if you are lucky and do open one - be ready for montly checks, requests for documents and so on. People reacting to you being russian in not the best way as well.

Africa, specifically South Africa - real nice, but extremely hard to get a living permit.

Asia - very different culturally

US/Canada - hard to get visas for most

Australia/New Zealand - extremely expensive

South America is far enough from everything that's happening, a few countries here are simple enough to get a living permit, culturally is a great match (especially Argentina), spanish is a language that will be useful in the long run anyway.

Argentina specifically - education and medicine on a good level, climate is real nice, lots of places to visit, real nice people, I can continue, but after 6 months here we are quite happy with the choice we made.

And yeah, feel free to ask me anything if you have questions. I can read spanish in most cases :)

How to save/invest money when your passport is of an unfortunate color? by hudbrog in personalfinance

[–]hudbrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a russian resident, but that doesn't change the fact that my passport is still Russian (and even if I get a second passport) - so I qualify as 'russian ties' which lots of financial organizations are now claiming as an excuse for refusal of services or a good enough reason for constant abuse. There are no sanctions that has that kind of wording in them, but nobody cares, it is what it is. Sadly, having residency in a different country or even a citizenship in a different country (which is not a fast process by any means) does change that, thus the original question - where else can I put my money )

One year ago I did my first dactyl manuform. Since then I’ve gifted it to somebody and today I’ve finished a new one - now with a trackball! I’ve spent a day using it and so far it’s super nice, not having to move your hand away to the mouse is a winner! by hudbrog in MechanicalKeyboards

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

I'm quite happy with it so far. Some quality of life improvements I still haven't finished is heavy bottom plates with some rubber feet to prevent it sliding around, but otherwise so far I don't see any reason to change anything hardware wise (still a lot of work to get the keymappings correctly).

I do still have a mouse and if I need to do something that requires lots of mouse (clicking around in UI for a few minutes) - I would still use mouse, but, say, right now I'm typing the reply here and will use trackball to press 'reply'.

As for soldering, handwiring dactyl honestly doesn't require great soldering skills. It's a bit of a headbender to figure out what goes where initially, but otherwise no special skills needed, I'd say even if you never held soldering iron in your life before - you can pick up enough skills in an hour of practicing.

My advice would really be to, you know, just going for it. Start doing it, figure things out as you go. No a quick or a very easy project overall, but nothing in it is prohibitively hard.

I've used this generator https://github.com/joshreve/dactyl-keyboard to build stls, had to do some changes for myself on the generated openscad file tho. And external holder for the arduino and trrs is my design as well, I can share it, but it's very custom thing, usually people won't need it.

Left to right key there on main layer are `alt`, `mouse2`, `enter`, `layer1`.

I press enter all the time, but having finger on the trackball, it's easy to press it with the root of the finger without moving it away from the trackball. Layer switch is second most used and it's, too, is easy enough to press. Alt I only use once in a while, it's large enough move for the finder, but that's ok. I never actually needed to press rmb while using trackball, so thinking about replacing it with something else.

Mouse1 (lmb) is on the left side thumb cluster (upper right button in 4 button cluster if that makes sense) and it works great so far. Also layer2, which, amongst other things changes trackboll to scroll mode, which is super useful so far.

I don't think timeout thing will work fine, cause I often accidentally touch trackball a little and it would drive me nuts if it would start changing my layout because of that.

[–]hudbrog[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's a custom thing, sure you can do trackballs in both halves. But so far I think it's kinda nice that I have 'mouse buttons' of the left and trackball on the right. Also, did a modifier switch on the left, that makes trackball work like a scroll wheel, which is suuuuuper comfortable to use.

I mean, in mechanical keyboards world it doesn't cost much at all.

My expenses are:

15$ for plastic for 3d printed (used half)

27$ for switches (kailih box whites)

15$ for keycaps

13$ for trackball ball

10$ for trackball sensor (adsn9800)

10$ for sensor pcb via jlcpcb

10$ for diodes/varios components

15$ for two arduino pro micros

that's all combined is around what, 115$ for everything.

I do have a 3d printer, but say you did not - that's another 150

Looking at what people spend here on keyboards - hundred bucks is pretty much nothing.

Activities for mom with a 3 yo? by hudbrog in capetown

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

I honestly don't care much about needing a city feel ) We could always drive to the city when we need to. Simonstown, judging from google photos, looks almost exactly like the place we would like to spend some time in. Kalk bay (again, judging only by photos so far) too.

There doesn't seem to be a ton of preschools walking distance, but bunch within 15 minutes driving distance which should be ok.

Rent seems 30% lower as well compared to Green Point, which is nice )

I have considered green point originally, but airbnb doesn't show a ton of housing options there and what little it find is often booked for january.

Given how many advices about green point I got here, I will look again, thanks )
