  • I have been working on a Wayland Tiling WM and have thought about expanding more into the DE space. While it’s finally starting to get to a good spot, it’s pretty daunting to consider all of the other items that need to be developed for a fully-featured DE. Especially when it’s something I’m doing as a side project after my day job. I think for anything bigger it’d require financial backing, for which open source projects are still struggling to find a good solution.


  • It’s hard to tell if it’s a similar cause, but I had issues with double-inputs and occasionally keys would work intermittently on my Dactyl Manuform.

    After getting frustrated enough having resoldered it several times, I hot-glued the PCBs to the case. The thinking that small movements during a key press was causing the contacts to be broken. Everything has been working great ever since!

    If you want to be cautious and have a multimeter, you could also check the connections between the keys. That might help isolate where to focus your efforts.




  • I think a more apt description would be proxy cards. It’s relatively new, but it lets you create cards that are linked to your primary without ever issuing a plastic card. This way if fraud happens you only need to replace it for the services it was used on. Or if you happen to lose your physical card, you can have it replaced without affecting the others.
