If you're on android I can highly recommend Eternity. Open source and a fork of Infinity for Reddit; which is still going as a paid service post Reddit API débâcle. I loved Infinity prior to Reddit being a bitch and Eternity is just as great

having to do a firmware update on my soldering iron

You don't. It works perfectly fine OOTB. Can't speak for the Pinecil v2 with Bluetooth and the companion app but I have v1 and the software been stable and bug-free enough I've never even given a thought to updating the firmware on it

Me. $350 off and $100 worth of storage upgrades on a Pixel 9 pro was worth it for me. Phones now are expensive as fuck but getting a ~40% discount on a brand new product made it easier to accept.

Thanks for the info! Just struggling to find a suitable tempered glass protector now since the pixel 9s moved to the ultrasonic style fingerprint reader.

Pixel 9? If so, what screen protector did you go with?

Just got one and the screen protector I bought doesn't work with the new style fingerprint sensor, so looking for a known-working brand

Telegram's server side software is closed source, owned and ran by them exclusively so they really have no room to talk. WhatsApp doesn't even have OSS clients so they're even worse in that regard

Can you help me fill in the blanks on your waybar layout? from what I can tell (left to right):

  • logo/app launcher
  • workspace indicator
  • window title
  • clock
  • ??? - notifications?
  • system tray
  • ??? - maybe network connectivity/data transferred?
  • volume
  • mic ? - privacy indicator/mic muted?
  • picture ? - maybe change background?
  • power

Wow those are some nice keycaps.

Seems he's revealing that he is either Bruce Wayne or Bane. As they're the only two to ever escape from the pit; historically speaking.

Since you're in EU you have quite a few options for vendors. Here is a good list.
I looked through most of these vendors before and it's unlikely that you'll find everything you need to build a fully custom keyboard from a single vendor, but with 2 or more you should be able to source all the pieces you need.
Some vendors that have a decent selection:

Another option of you don't mind the potentially long shipping time is to buy all the components from Aliexpress. They will likely have an expansive selection and lower price compared with EU retailers, but you may or may not end up paying tax, and the shipping time will be longer on everything.

I managed to figure out an ugly way of getting the keyboard matrix down to 20 pins, but a much better option to using a pro-micro would be to go with an Elite-Pi or Helios Microcontroller Since it has 23 GPIO pins, and there won't be a hacky workaround like with the pro-micro.

One thing I forgot to mention is key switch preference, the two main types are MX (high profile) and Choc (low profile). MX switches are both easier to find and have much larger variety of both switches and keycaps. Choc is nice because it has a lower profile similar to laptop keyboards, but the selection of switches and keycaps are much more limited. There are other low profile switch types like Choc mini (PG1232), Choc V2(PG1353), and Notebook X(PG1425) switches, but they're even harder to source than the Choc V1(PG1350).

Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but for my personal use I just set up a repo in my git forge (gitea in my case) with a bunch of markdown files in various folders and a Hugo theme.

Every time I want to update a document I can click the link at the bottom of the "Wiki" page and edit it in Gitea's WYSIWYG editor. Similar process if I want to make a new document. When I save the changes I have a CI job (native to Gitea/Github) that uses Hugo to build the markdown docs into a full website and sync it to a folder on one of my servers where it's picked up by a web server.

Sounds complicated when I type it all out, but the only thing that I can reasonably expect to be a deal breaker is the Hugo software, of which there are archived versions, and even if there wasn't Hugo's input is just markdown, so I can repurpose however I see fit.

You could probably do something similar with other SSG's or even use Github's pages feature, though that does add a failure point if/when they decide to sunset or monetize the feature.

I have a few mechanical keyboard projects that I need to print cases for and a chassis for a compact NAS build that I'm almost done tweaking and need to print eventually. Just functional stuff really
