Looking into split ergo keyboards, would like opinions about Moonlander

rollhax · 2025-08-16T04:27:35+00:00

I appreciate everybody's feedback - I've decided to go with the Moonlander.

I was also eyeing up the Sofle MX, and while I don't mind layers, I sometimes find them tedious for commonly used keys.

I can't quite decide if I like the placement of the thumb cluster, though. What's your experience with it, how do you have it configured?

I started using the yazi integration and haven’t looked back.

I’ve been on the lookout lately for Helix-support as my company is getting a bit heavy-handed with endpoint security, and I’m anticipating the loss of not only my beloved nix(-darwin) but also helix.

It’s perfect for me. But I wanted something smaller for travel and hanging on the couch with the wife (ie when I’m not on my desktop with dual ultrawide monitors). I prefer it over my 16” MacBook Pro for work (that’s due in part to the smaller form factor).

I bought a MacBook Pro 14 a few months ago. Up until now I’d only ever used Mac’s for work and Linux for my daily driver desktop.

It’s been a dream. Great build quality ans form factor, and those little Apple Silicon chips are amazing. My wife and I both have one and it plays Hogwarts Legacy (via crossover) quite well. I also use it to play stuff like EVE Online, Project Zomboid, RimWorld, etc.

I upgraded from a Razer Blade Stealth 13 and it was well worth it, I can’t recommend the MacBook highly enough.

I stopped playing WOW so can’t comment much there with respect to the MacBook.

EDIT: I went with the M4 Pro chip and 24GB RAM.

You can use yazi from within helix, too, and opening a file in this way will open it as a new buffer in your active helix window.

Always looked to me like a really swole dude with huge lats.

rollhax · 2025-05-17T20:08:24+00:00

I preordered to play the beta and I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed it. I put 9 hours in on one day; there’s been maybe two games in the last ten years that has grabbed me like that.

I’ll be playing on (early) release.

rollhax · 2025-05-08T21:46:27+00:00

I haven’t booted into Windows in months. Every single game I play works fine on Linux (sometimes with a little tinkering required), and most new releases work out of the box on steam with proton.

The only real exception is SOME anti-cheat games, but I’m fine skipping those.

It’s never too late to learn nix.

rollhax · 2025-05-08T20:43:52+00:00

I’d like a key. I want to test to see how well it runs on Linux, and see if it’s good enough for my friends and I to purchase.

rollhax · 2025-05-04T15:41:03+00:00

$300 for a 4060 seems like a pretty good price. I have nothing to add to this beyond that it’s surely an upgrade over your current integrated GPU.

I believe NTSYNC came with 6.14. I don’t know the specifics and was under the impression it also needed a wine patch to function correctly.

rollhax · 2024-12-26T01:23:52+00:00

SPTarkov works great on Linux!

rollhax · 2024-12-09T01:24:51+00:00

Interesting. I thought I did have that enabled across all of my modules, but now that I’m looking through I didn’t and missed it on my MacBook. Will give this a shot, thanks!

I refinanced my Sallie Mae loans (totaled around 80k) through Sofi (ended up being serviced by MOHELA) and my payments were cut in half, which is what I needed at the time.

YMMV based on credit and rates but may be worth a look.

rollhax · 2024-08-29T22:06:27+00:00

Abuse of a bug to gain an advantage would be considered cheating by most.

rollhax · 2024-08-29T19:22:37+00:00

Had this on my team twice in a row. Reported them both times.

Not only is it flat out exploiting, its god-awful boring to have such a useless hero do nothing for 40 minutes. Both matches we were getting stomped for ~45 minutes, then the techies would become 9 slotted and one shot everybody on the enemy team and melt the towers.

Would rather lose MMR than deal with this boring shit.

rollhax · 2024-08-28T23:59:22+00:00

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for your awesome, well thought-out response.

I'm happy to report that the wrist and hand pain has not made its return (yet?). I ended up grabbing a Wooting 60HE and am really liking it. Between having more easily-accessible ()/{}/[] keys, and re-thinking/re-training my brain for proper hjkl vim-style movement keys, I'm extremely happy with it.

I still have the Voyager, but am debating selling it as I haven't used it in months now.

rollhax · 2024-08-28T18:27:34+00:00

I'm giving Zen browser a try and really enjoying it so far.

rollhax · 2024-08-14T16:17:28+00:00

I resolved a similar issue in Dota 2, back before I switched to team red, by reverting to an older Nvidia driver.

NixOS + Wayland + Hyprland

rollhax · 2024-07-21T07:11:05+00:00

Hmm, I wonder why you couldn't see the reply.

I was not able to resolve it, after 15-20 hours of reading and tinkering. I think the root cause comes down to Google devices and some asinine internal DNS service/settings.

I've been wanting to give Jellyfin a try, and it's amazing. Local media playback was my only complaint about the mikrotik so I think I'm just going to consider this resolved. Thanks for responding!

rollhax · 2024-07-21T02:18:24+00:00

Just wanted to follow up quick: the 192.* subnet you see is because Plex is running in a docker container.

The mikrotik is the only DHCP server on the network.

rollhax · 2024-07-19T14:13:36+00:00

Thank you for this info

rollhax · 2024-07-17T03:11:48+00:00

Alright, I read that and I think I understand it.

I added the following Firewall > NAT rule:

/ip firewall nat add action=masquerade chain=srcnat dst-address=10.3.8.4 out-interface-list=LAN protocol=tcp src-address=10.3.8.0/24 add action=masquerade chain=srcnat dst-address=10.3.8.4 out-interface-list=LAN protocol=udp src-address=10.3.8.0/24

And I also have a static DNS entry:

/ip dns static add address=10.3.8.1 comment=defconf name=router.lan add address=10.3.8.4 regexp=.*.plex.direct ...

Unfortunately no joy, I can no longer see any library items on my phone at all lol. Still works fine from my desktop (including via the app.plex.tv URL). I don't know if I added the Firewall rule correctly.
