+1 for Minetest both client and server too; we run one locally for the kiddos :)
I'm currently wearing a continuous glucose monitor. Does that count? I'm all for anything voluntary especially if it improves quality of life without impeding on others.
Yep, this is what I've started doing and actually works better for my work flow as I use Wireguard for work related tasks as well.
This is near exactly me; only difference is that I do not play things out ahead of time.
- Watch video (Watch It Played)
- Read rulebook
- Play with group
Here's a 60-day free trial to tinker with as well: https://www.linode.com/tux
I'm currently self hosting:
- Jellyfin: TV shows for kiddos
- Minetest: gaming with kiddos
- Supertuxkart: more gaming with kiddos
- Pi-hole: DNS with several filters
- Tiny Tiny RSS: feed reader
- Nextcloud: phone sync and project management
- Gitea: code tracking and version control
- JSketcher: CAD drawing
- Stable Diffusion: AI art
The last two are local-network only and the most recent additions; still just tinkering with them at this point.
My favorite of the list is probably TT-RSS which I use for podcasts and to keep tabs on a few sub-reddits I had participated in before moving to Lemmy.
Cool concept! And congrats on getting it up and running :)
Thanks; quite a few have recommended this one which is nice to see
Very cool design; how well do they stay put on the desk? My last split keyboard would nudge slowly during use and had to be moved back which I found annoying.
^ This. I also like alternate creative work that keeps me learning tech without the stress of feeling like it's work. I personally like to write simple scripts to aid in tabletop game design or tinkering with cool projects like SpaceTraders or Minetest mods.
The Advantage 2 looks pretty good; bit pricey though I expected as much. Thank you!
I'm looking to replace my Logitech Wave with an ergonomic mechanical keyboard and would appreciate any recommendations from the community here.
Prefer cherry brown or red switches and a single piece design (not a fan of the 2-piece keyboards). Also prefer a number pad though not required as I can always add one separately if needed.
Yeah, bigger solutions like Azure, AWS, etc. have some cool features especially for scaling but... that comes with its own headaches.
For earlier stages I personally much prefer a simple VPS where I can freely do what I want with it including total wipes, snapshots / rollbacks, etc.
If you're comfortable working on a local VM then perhaps a VPS such as Linode or Digital Ocean would be a good place to start; they're essentially VMs hosted in cloud you have total control of so you can install whatever you want just like a local VM. Even the cheapest VPS option is plenty for this sort of testing.
These have free trials too such as: https://www.linode.com/tux
