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. …

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 …

Getting Started with the ZealPC Zeal60 Keyboard PCB
Recently I picked up a Zeal 60 printed circuit board from BC-based ZealPC, and I couldn’t be happier! The board supports a few layouts for now, though it’s open source, and you can either fork it to add your own, or add a pull request to share with the community. The first thing you’ll want …

It’s been almost 4 years since I’ve rounded up VMs used on a daily basis, so it’s high time I take another kick at the can and make an update list. My workflows have changed quite a bit over the years, with more focus being on the Windows side of things. That said, I havent …
Top 10 Chrome Applications I Can’t Live Without
I’ve been trying to become as agile as possible when it comes to personal data in order to be able to run and test any platform of my choosing. To that end, I usually resort to web applications. That said, Chrome and its open source cousin Chromium can only be run on many (but not …
