  • Oh, yes we have. Gitlab, Codeberg, Notabug, etc. You can even host your own Gitea or Forgejo instance if you want.

    Self-hosting is right out for most people. It’s pretty expensive to even get started without compromising your home network (router with VLAN, switch, multiple servers (at least thinclients)), and then on top of that you need to maintain it, and can’t really ever max out your download/upload speeds because people are depending on your internet to interact with the repo.

    Gitlab is also for-profit, but also has blackouts and devs going rm -rf on the production DB. It’s often in the news for bad things, so I’ve generally avoided it.

    Codeberg is great for personal repos, but most smaller git hosting services have horrible SEO. Like I’ve had issues finding repos when searching for their exact name, if I had to use general search terms I’d only see github repos.









  • That’s great! The keyboard is meant to be stationary, indeed.

    Try it with your current one first. I’ve only installed it through nix and guix, so it might be a possible issue for you if it’s not easily available.

    I’d love to, but where? Are there stores that stock them?

    No clue. If you can’t find that keyboard in the area, look for keyboards using the same switches. It’s not the only factor, but probably the most relevant.


  • You can use kmonad to configure keys, layers, layouts, etc. on any keyboard. AFAIK unless you’re going to use the keyboard on random computers, it can replicate all of the functionality you’d want.

    For sound:

    • find a physical model to try out
    • order one of those switch samplers
    • find info from reviewers

    Additional food for thought: get a keyboard with hot-swappable switches to possibly replace them with quieter ones. Also there are tricks to make it quieter like adding o-rings and a shock absorber for the bottom plate.
