@Argus You can read about it here: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Mechanical_keyboard

I just found out about the Switchcracker, a tool that lets you easily open the housing on MX switches. It even supports the new BOX switches from Kailh. A must have tool for anyone who's into modding switches. :)

@morii It looks good!

@artixx @matt Debian is a bit underestimated if you want something stable and beginner friendly.

@kelbot @ChrisWere @MereLinuxMortal @dpreacher Keyboard waffles are the best waffles!

@artixx There a rock band called Mastodon as well. :)

@artixx I moved some time ago, but I'm considering runner my own instance instead. :)

@matt @Ghosty The last time I bought one I got 1GB for ≈€20. And I still have it! :D

@ChrisTalleras I have been hoping for a change for some time now, as I find it ironic to host your source code for your open source projects on a proprietary hosting service like GitHub – when we have alternatives like GitLab that's libre and open source. :)

@ChrisTalleras Sure, GitHub could change the license to something libre, but I highly doubt that will ever happen. But we already have several good options for hosting Git repositories that's based on open source software anyway. :)

@christopher GitLab Community Edition is licensed under the MIT license.

@dar13 @ChrisWere Thanks! I'll look into it. :) And yes, the freezes is apparently a common issue. And since I run my servers on it, it's been extra annoying. :/

I have high hopes on Linux 4.17. I really hope it makes my second generation Ryzen computer stable once and for all, because random freezes gets a bit tedious after several months.

@omnipotens It's up and running!

@robots All users in one place is also not a very good idea. I know I can see and communicate with everyone from other instances here as well, but with different instances and different themes you do get the chance to shield yourself from things you're not interested in.

If I follow a person from a Linux theme instance, I know what to expect. On Twitter you could follow some developer and suddenly see some serious talk about politics.

@brandon I've been using Solarized for a long time now. I don't even bother trying new colours these days.
