I’ve been using a lot of Gitea. Or perhaps I’ve been rediscovering the repos I’ve starred, readme-patched (I’m SORRY!) and probably otherwise drive-by-commited to over the years. Woah. Things have changed a bit. Entire whatever model and harness you use these days and point them at a codebase, they can generally do a pretty good …

Disable Natural Scrolling in macOS Catalina
This is perhaps the first thing I do on all OSX machines: set the scroll to match my Linux and Windows computers. No judgement call as to which way is “right”, I’m simply used to this by now, and instead of changing it on two other operating systems, scripting it on only one seemed easier. …

Tada 68 Pro Akko x Maxkey on MacOS
Interesting name for a “Tada 68” board, but it looks like this has a non-programmable PCB, unlike the “Saber 68” (new Tada 68). That being said, it has most of what you want aside from the ability to set up function combos to send the four-key keyboard shortcuts. The easiest change is the alt/Windows key …
Flashing HHKB Jp Controller Mac Layout Hex
Having recently received Hasu’s fantastic HHKB JP Bluetooth Controller, I noticed one irksome thing: the alt and command keys were reversed on the left hand side, and the kana key that I typically remap to right command was reverted. This is normal: the keyboard targets Windows users primarily, but one thing you lose when upgrading …

Getting Started with Salt Stack Windows Minions
This how-to on Windows Salt minions will just scratch the surface of the power behind Salt, and will cover remote execution, installation and management. Please note: I’m new to Salt, and I’m a recovering Windows syasdamin from the 2000-2013 era. This means I probably have a bunch of out-moded ways of working with Windows. To …

Flashing an AMJPad with QMK
Thanks to the hard work of /u/TerryMatthews on Reddit, there’s now a port of QMK for the AMJ numpad! In order to get QMK on the number pad, however, a bit of work will need to be done, though none of it is insurmountable. First off, I’ve compiled the AMJ Pad QMK default layout hex …
Stop Windows 10 Update Notifications from Interrupting Your Games
I had taken quite the hiatus from Windows gaming while I worked on certification, but got a chance to have some quick Overwatch sessions last night, only to have one of the competitive matches interrupted by a popup that took me out of the game (I was able to alt-tab back in) that stated the …

New Zeal60 Keyboard Layout – Split Backspace, Split Right Shift, ANSI
I’ve really been enjoying the programmable firmware on the Zeal60 keyboard PCB from ZealPC. It’s definitely not all the bells and whistles, this layout gives you 62 keys in total, though you might need a keycap set that supports all of these keys. I’m currently using the Originative Co  Modern Beige set, though I hear …
