Keycap Cut Away

I was curious how/if my custom keycap design was hitting my switches. So I set out to find out what the fitup inside of this assembly looks like, but not theoretically, a fully sliced view into their fit up in the flesh. The set up # [1] To setup for this cut, I flooded the edge of a 2x4 with hot glue, and inserted the cap such that the step was tangent with the edge. This way I could use the edge as a guide to cut one side off and leave the stem in tact. I took a handsaw to it and filed it smooth. [2] Removal was applying some isopropyl alcohol and it popped right off. Results # [3] Actually the results aren’t that interesting. I found that the pictures turned out really good, but nothing was touching and it sits in the stem exactly as I thought it did. I had a thought, what if the cap is not allowing the switch to reach it’s full travel, and had no way to know, but now I know.

Knife Sharpener Small Upgrade

I’ve used this knife sharpener that I printed for a few years now. I thought that it was based on the Russian designed TSPROF, but in looking through the history it looks very similar to the USA Edge Pro Inc Apex designs that goes back to the 1990’s. The angle isn’t quite holding like it used to. I’ve got a lot of ideas for my own model, but for now I’m going to print some spacers to help get repeatable angles.

vim noa
Vim :noa is a command that runs what you call without autocommands on. This is typically used when you have some BufWritePre commands for formatting, most auto formatters are implemented this way in vim. It can be super useful if you have something like a yaml/json file that you have crafted perfectly how you want it, maybe it has some source code for a small script or sql embeded and your formatter wants to turn it into one line. You could get a better formatter, but for these one off cases that aren’t a big bother to me I run :noa w. :noa w

Repository Mirrors | Forgejo – Beyond coding. We forge. forgejo.org [1] Forgejo supports repository mirrors, I think this is how I am going to handle migrating all of my github repos into forgejo. over time I’ll probably go through and delete a bunch of unnecessary one from github, ones that might have a user or two I might keep on github. I have such small scale projects with almost no users I am not sure that It really matters for me or not. Note This post is a thought [2].

Vertical combos are dumb, this makes way more sense. · WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block@48c30d2 Contribute to WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] This commit to my keymap gets rid of vertical combos, those were a bad idea to me. Maybe I didnt give it a shot, but hitting two keys at once on purpose with the same finger is a skill, one that I don’t have. This change maps those symbols so that they work as a combo or layer switch, so getting the layer key in first does it by layer, but pressing them at the same time gives me the combo, kinda feels genius. We will see how it goes. Note This post is a thought [2].

💭 This Bothers Me - YouTube www.youtube.com
- I’m playing through peak right now with Wyatt and it is a great game, a small wholesome indiegame that is legit hard, but fun with the simplest concept. You are a scout who has crashlanded on an island, your goal is to get to the peak with your friends. You must manage hunger, stamina, weight, health and energy. You have limited resources and must help everyone to the top, if someone is low on stamina, they are going to need a helping hand or a stonger climber to go up and set pitons and ropes. Its a fantastic collaborative play game PEAK - 2025-08-27 8-49-54 PM.mp4 [1] a short clip of me playing with wyatt, I did not have anything great to add, but this is just a random clip Ripped off # [2] It was insta-ripped off by roblox with microtransactions pay to win garbage. It looks one for one the same damn models and interface, they spared nothing at making it look exactly like the original. They let you buy a golden apple assuming it gives you crazy stamina to climb with ease, and it costs goddam robux. As Big A says here theres nothing they can really do, the roblox platform just lets this happen, and if they didn’t they would loose huge revenue because this is so prevelant....
