1 curl -I gabevenberg.com Dean Hansen, a dear friend of my family and of mine, died six months ago today.

Well, this article has been a long time coming… Originally this post was going to be about moving my homelab overseas and what that process looked like, yet my homelab is still stuck in the US.

TRRS (Tip Ring Ring Sleeve, or, as you may know it, “headphone jack with microphone support”) cables have long been the go to connector between split keyboard halves.

NixOS is really nice for self hosting.

The other day, I stumbled upon RMK, a keyboard firmware written in Rust.

Over the past few years, it seems like the rate at which new CLI tools are being written has picked back up again, accelerating after seeing relatively little activity between ~1995 and ~2015.

I’ve been experimenting with the tools I use on a regular basis lately – switching up my shell, terminal multiplexer, and even trying out other editors.

I’ve been using a split keyboard at home now for several years (specifically, the UHKv2, though nowadays I probably would have gone for something ortholinear) and I’ve always wanted one for the office.

I’ve been messing around with embedded rust recently, using the BBC micro:bit as a learning platform.

So I’ve been using git to managing my dotfiles since [checks git log]… 2018.

During the 5 or so years I’ve had Nextcloud, I’ve always been quite happy with the web client, but the device clients… need some work.

In the past 2 years or so, I have been using my caps lock key as a separate ctrl key on my desktop keyboard.

I’ve been using Arch Linux for several years now.
