What are some good Overleaf (Latex) alternatives?
  • I use VScodium with some plugins. But writing in any editor and running the typst executable with the "watch" argument is also an option. That way as soon as you overwrite the source file a new PDF is generated. In that case I use Okular which auto refreshes when the open document changes.

    Just started my ergo adventure, but I have questions...
    1. It hasn't affected my ability to use a normal keyboard. Using my laptop to type occasionally probably helps with this.
    2. Can't help you, I stuck with QWERTY
    3. My favorite feature of my ergo keyboard is the fact that it is split, so I could see the appeal of a split but otherwise normal keyboard. But, I would recommend sticking with the Moonlander. It took me 2 weeks until I was comfortable typing after I switched. Not fast mind you, just comfortable. Then maybe another month until I didn't have to look down for special keys. Definitely a time investment, but worth it in my opinion.

    What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?
  • I tend to use glass jars for this. They are reusable and recyclable, you can see what's in them, they protect what's inside from getting crushed, and they're free if you repurpose jars that food came in.

    Autocad alternatives
  • LibreCAD could be worth considering. I don't think it's possible to update dimensions in it though so I expect it would be tedious in a large project like a home remodel.

    [Solved] I want to ditch Nextcloud notes
  • There are other note apps that can sync with Nextcloud. I settled on Quillpad because of its checklist functionality, though admittedly it's not perfect.

    Handwired Skeletyl powered by FAK
  • I've got a Keyboardio that has the main layer change key as one that you press with your palm. I'm glad it's there, thumb keys are too precious to waste on that.

    NEMD: Thanks to this community, I may finally learn to touch-type!
  • It took me about two weeks to get fully comfortable going from a normal keyboard to a Keyboardio. It was a long two weeks but I'm really glad I did it. And so are my fingers.

    Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ?
  • One Pi Zero 2W runs NodeRed to control a few lights in the house. Another used to run Octoprint until it recently stopped responding. I haven't gotten around to troubleshooting it yet.

    What's your favorite Enigma / Riddle / Sentence Puzzle?
  • Sure, asking for a single dollar isn't the best use of the question. You could ask for anything, not that the recipient would actually deliver on it.

    What's your favorite Enigma / Riddle / Sentence Puzzle?
  • It doesn't lead to a destination, and maybe isn't even a riddle, but a sentence I like is:

    Is your answer to this question the same as if I had asked you to give me a dollar?

    Used Ergo-keyboard Market (Question/Discussion)
  • This isn't a full answer to your question, but as for where secondhand keyboards are bought/sold, I bought one from eBay a while back.

    Eye glasses wearers in the US, where do you buy your glasses from these days?
  • I bought from Walmart before. As far as I know they don't use Luxottica. Both pairs I had from there lasted me many years and were cheap. I can't say I recommend them though since it would be supporting Walmart.

    Well, I guess I'm making a controller then
  • I don't understand the issues that prompted you to develop this, can you explain them a bit more? What hot-swap connector are you using this with?

    Of course making a cool new board can simply be motivated be a desire to do so 😀.
