we are talking Gnome devs here after all …
people still arguing about how much of MS-DOS was copied from CP/M
by the time he gets to the US, we’re getting the leftovers from the bottom of the bag
Steve Wozniak was the tech geek
Steve Jobs was the techbro

[labwc] baby steps with Alpine
(slrpnk.net)
slowly putting together a new system – I didn’t plan on it being a lightweight system, it’s just kinda ended up that way (and probably won’t be by the time I finish) – actually finding it kinda fun building up piece-by-piece
- Alpine Linux
- labwc (straight from tty, no DM yet)
- foot terminal
- Fira Sans and Fira Mono fonts
- fog_forest_alt_1 from Everforest Walls
- gruvbox-material-dark-blocks Openbox theme
- gruvbox-dark foot theme
- “Schneider is a known transphobe and anti-vaxxer”
- “a Canadian medical nonprofit”
- 🤨
- just how many red flags did they ignore?

- Mekanisk Klippe case in Ultramarine
- cinereus he PCB with assembly by JLC
- FR4 plate in JLC Blue (missing Ultramarine’s hint of green)
- Gateron Melodic switches
- MTNU Susu keycaps
- running Vial firmware
- a BIG thanks to Noah Kiser’s PCB design videos and JLC’s PCB fab and assembly services

tuk_tuk – a 42-key katana-stagger in a Minivan case
(slrpnk.net)
open source, files on Codeberg
this was a big learning experience, first time doing a proper PCB instead of using yet another Pro Micro equivalent – this would not have been possible without Noah Kiser’s tutorials on Youtube, all the work that went into QMK and Vial, and the ease of JLC’s assembly service (no way I was ever going to solder an RP2040)
shocked and giddy with how easy the whole process was – plugged in the fresh PCB and it went straight into bootloader mode – uploaded the *.uf2 and it worked first time!
- symmetric split-ergo style layout (6 × 3 + 3)
- katana stagger
- personally find this works really nicely and keeps the feel of an ortho or columnar board
- fits into Minivan case (12.75u × 4u)
- attempt to use as many existing mounting holes as possible (6/7)
- main issue was maintaining symmetric layout with two mounting points in bottom row
- personally find the resulting odd gap to be uncomfortable
- if I do an update, I would remove the awkward spacing and slide the whole bottom row to the left a smidge (resulting in an uncomfortably-asymmetric symmetric layout)
- learning to use JLC’s PCB assembly instead of a Pro Micro equivalent
- providing a proper Vial firmware
“because that prevents the creator from being rewarded for viewership”
not like Youtube rewards creators for viewership either (and then lying to the advertisers as well)
for many years now – stopped using them back when they started to ignore +include, -exclude, and "phrases"

cinereus alep
(slrpnk.net)
- a quick update from my post a few days back
- this was the first iteration (very barebones to check on fitting)
- everything up and running (QMK made the firmware incredibly easy)
- so far, thoroughly enjoying the experience
- and yes, it’s all open source
- main repository
- alep repository with gerbers, firmware, and KiCad PCB file
- and I’m already working on the next iteration
- reset switch
- re-adjusting some routing
- adding in a base (Plaid or Seigaiha style)
- I really like the plateless build

A fresh delivery from JLC is always fun
(slrpnk.net)
Have been working my way through FlatFootFox’s Let’s Design a Keyboard with Ergogen tutorial – this is just the first iteration
- number of keys of a Corne, aesthetics of Splaytaroid, less aggressive splay than A. dux
- next big challenge is dealing with the firmware
- deciding whether I want to keep it split or go monoblock (Reviung41 or Splaytaroid)
- following iterations with work with implementing the fancy features – switch plate, bottom plate, case of some sort, RGB, OLED
