  • I always thought these kind of keys looked cool. Especially the resin ones that have “stuff” in them. But are they functional? Like can you really type with them? I have a mechanical keyboard that spent a lot of time and money with switches, o-rings, lube, special south-facing shine through keycaps, and probably several hundred hours coding in QMK. And then duplicated so I have one at home and work. But I probably spend 80-100 hours a week (work and play) in front of my keyboards so they have to be functional first. I was curious if anyone actually types on these.



  • Well technically everything is solar in some form or another.

    Fossil fuels - dead plants that got their energy from the sun Nuclear(fission) - Uses elements only created from the dying phases of a sun Hydro - Energy that’s created from the sun heating and moving water around Wind - same as above just air instead of water Geothermal - This one is trickier but planets are formed from dead stardust. I guess gravity fits in here somehow. Biomass - see fossil fuels but without as much waiting

    The only one I can think of that isn’t solar is nuclear fusion. And this is essentially recreating a star.









  • Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Some things it makes sense to host in your home. Things like large media, home automation, etc. Some things it doesn’t. Like DNS, service that require large amounts of egress (most home internet is very asymmetric), anything with a more public face.

    Generally it boils down to privacy and reliability. If it’s private, keep it home. If it needs more reliability, put it on a VPS.

    My home hardware is just not reliable enough to host something critical. I have redundant systems but it might take a bit to get stuff back.

    This idea of it not being self hosted because it’s on somebody else’s computer is just weird.
