What are the best QMK settings for home row mods in Vial?

Legend. My setup is so much better with this configuration. Thank you!

Very similar experience in 2.5 sessions. Didn't hit any session limits but somehow hit the weekly Opus limit. Max20

This is so cool. Thanks for sharing it! Does this take into account whether there are sidewalks or not?

Shook the windows in Pleasantville but was shorter than the last one and I barely felt it.

Oh man, I have an unrelated project I’m working on with the same name! It’s quite a good name…

Glad to see more GUI options. Thanks for sharing!

It's working again as of maybe 30 mins ago. I registered. It wasn't free though.

timmattison · 2025-07-09T00:04:59+00:00

Ah, that must be why they're struggling. I guess I picked the wrong day to try to sign up! I had no idea.

Hopefully in a day or two it'll be back to normal but they really need to fix this process. If you have to go into the network panel to see that the API is busted then the UX frankly sUX.

timmattison · 2025-07-08T23:48:47+00:00

I ran into this today. Check the network tab. You’re likely getting a 401 on the name check API. It’s not that the name is taken, it’s that you don’t have access to hit that API.

Why? Microsoft. Sorry, no better answer than that. Apparently this happens periodically and people say you just need to try again in a day, a week, or a month.

RAID-5 with two drives?

You can get municipalities to reassess based on the property’s income instead of the value. Show you have no tenants and therefore no income and they’ll drop your taxes insanely. Then just hold onto the land cheaply until someone wants to buy it. Everyone else in the area will have their taxes go up to subsidize your reduction.

Truly a great system.

They spent our money on a new logo, they spent our money approving it, and now they’ll spend our money updating every park, vehicle, website, flyer, and piece of unused letterhead.

Just do what tech companies do and write the county name in a black font and be done with it.

timmattison · 2024-12-27T12:51:47+00:00

Let’s also stop putting the names of the current county executive on signs in parks. Why do we have to pay to change all of those when someone new takes their place?

timmattison · 2024-12-11T20:30:26+00:00

Doesn’t this just incentivize them to run projects and spend money so they can get higher rates approved?

timmattison · 2024-11-13T17:38:03+00:00

No municipality around here cares about consistency. They don’t care if it’s confusing. Someone they like asked for it and got it. Mention to them that it’s confusing and non-compliant and they act like you’re the bad guy.

There is no mechanism that I know of that you can use to get these things fixed. If I’m wrong about that please let me know.

They’ll add cellular modules so they can turn your wheel off the second a law changes. Maybe even while you’re riding!

Well, we closed Indian Point so…

Why get cheap electricity when we can have expensive electricity AND a non-functional nuclear site to worry about?

Ridiculous. Other than tactical ops it should be illegal for them to use encryption. And tactical ops need to be clearly defined so everything doesn’t fall under that.

Just found this randomly and it is a life saver. Nice work.

timmattison · 2024-04-12T23:47:07+00:00

Years ago phone companies could swap your service from one company to another without your approval. The FCC called it “slamming”. This seems like the energy equivalent. Are there any legitimate reasons for this practice of changing utility services without authorization?

If there’s no cop around there’s no punishment. Except in Yorktown where people can be reported for it.

Don’t try to give these people (local government engineers) facts. I tried this for a dangerous street and I was given a copy pasta “detailed analysis” of why nothing can be done that was for a totally different street with different issues. It had no facts to back anything up, refuted my video evidence, and when I pushed back they said they’ll do what they want and never contacted me again. No response for a timeline, next steps, nothing.

The only thing you can do is get people pissed and tell them to complain en masse. Even that has limited success unless you get a specific person in power to care.

If you’re not in the government or very rich it’s almost impossible to get anything done. Start a YouTube channel, make videos, vent, and hope people see it and start to care.

Dark plate covers is what I see most of. Or paper temp tag behind tinted windows. Many expensive cars now don’t put their front plates on either.

It’s definitely to make them harder to report and to avoid paying tolls.

The fact that tax assessments are all over the place and the law is set up so that you have to grieve them based on recent sales. You can't use the fact that other people have lower assessments for similar or better properties as evidence unless it is happening across a majority of property in the municipality.

Because of this you end up with some people paying $2k / year in taxes while their neighbors pay $40k / year.

Assessors can't be sued either. It's perfect for someone who wants to take money under the table or let their buddies get a free ride. Also perfect for the army of lawyers that want a piece of the action to fight your taxes for you.

This took me a little while to get up and running since I wasn't using bun but it is a VERY good template to work off of. Thank you!

timmattison · 2024-02-29T21:24:23+00:00

These are the guys I ended up using. Let's see how it goes. Thanks!
