You sound like Chyrosran22 :P

The main reason why I didn't get those vintage switches is that they, AFAIK, are usually on the heavier side, and I have weak fingers uwu. (Availability is also an issue, getting stuff from abroad in Taiwan is sorta hard.) (There's also the lack of QMK...)

I don't dislike clicky switches, though I do hate the high-pitched sounds that blues and clones make. That being said, my roommates are probably gonna kill me for using clicky.

I really want to get buckling springs though, even just for the classic-ness of it.

@freemo

The testing configuration seems to indicate that gigabit ethernet cards are used?

@sjw

Is this a test to see whether I'm "cultured enough"? :P

Seriously though, I think Cherry Browns are... not as fun as some of the more tactile switchs, but they are great for typing for long periods of time.

BTW, I've only tried Gateron Browns on switch testers, and they seem to be a lot smoother than Cherrys. Not sure whether I would prefer it on a real board though.

@freemo

Yeah, but since the G in GbE stands for gigabit, I've always assumed it to be 1000Mb/s. So I have no idea where the >1000 numbers in the links come from :/

@freemo

I guess my question is more about gigabit versus gibibit, if that makes any sense.

Should get some fruit later...

I've always assumed that the gigabit in GbE meant 1000Mbps.

But https://www.wireguard.com/performance/ shows numbers higher than that, and https://blog.ipfire.org/post/why-not-wireguard, which criticizes the methodology of the first link, also seems to assume 1024Mbps?

I'm in Taipei, though I also go to Kaohsiung quite a lot.

Interestingly, one of my first toots here actually got a pretty swift reply in traditional Chinese from @snow (and my original post wasn't even in Chinese lol).

Turns out the "Error while parsing template... No such file or directory" issue I encountered on #OpenWrt just needed a reboot to be fixed.

@SlowRain

Yep :)

The boards on KBDFans looks awesome! Can't believe I missed it before.

Saw the 65% board from your profile. Seems real nice :)

@10X @techit @hund@linuxrocks.online

Used to use Mint before switching to Qubes and Arch.

Ever since the website breach, people seems to be bring up issues with the security practices of Mint though (e.g., security update related). Not sure if they have been fixed.

Installed Pop OS for a relative a while ago, and it was pretty nice. Still Ubuntu-based though.

My (pretty short) exposure with Fedora and openSuse is also quite positive (except yum/dnf being somewhat slow IMO).

@hund@linuxrocks.online @deviaan@fosstodon.org

Cool, always wanted to try custom switches, but seems like a ton of work :)

I would love to have a hotswap board, but I can't really find solutions that support QMK. (Even the hotswap sockets I find does not seem to support conventional 60% PCBs.)

I'm aware of the Massdrop CTRL and Ergodox EZ, but the former is a bit hard to get in Taiwan, and the latter is really pricey :(

Top X annoyances in dorm shower stalls:

- People singing horribly
- People crapping right in the shower

Seriously, WTF?

@hund@linuxrocks.online @deviaan@fosstodon.org

I also have (had?) another board with Gateron Clears, and the lightness is awesome :)

That being said, the board was self-soldered, and due to horrible soldering skills, the original PCB went a bit janky. The attempt to swap in a new PCB resulted in a few unresponsive keys, and I never had the time to finish fixing it :(

@hund@linuxrocks.online @deviaan@fosstodon.org

I actually used to have another V60 (non-R) with Matias Quiet switches (as opposed to the current typeR with browns.)

Unfortunately, I happened to get it when Matias had terrible QC (at least that's what I read), so I had to send it back a couple of times over the years. (Good thing I live in Taiwan, I guess.)

Still eventually sold the board to a friend because the switches were a bit heavy for my tastes though.

@hund@linuxrocks.online @deviaan@fosstodon.org

Never used the Anne, but can recommend the KBP V60, especially the type R, which you can install QMK firmware on.

(Typing this on a V60TypeR BTW :) )
