It has been around a year since I changed both #keyboardLayout to #Dvorak and converted to a #splitKeyboard from a conventional #qwerty full size.
From time to time, I took some #MonkeyType #tests, to see the progress in my #typing speeds and accuracy. I thought that sharing my stats might help someone which is wondering if they should take a similar road
For reference, I was before typing at a speed around 100-120 wpm, but my wrist was hurting so much that I was fearing I couldn't longer type in the long run... so it is a win for me, even if now I'm (for the moment) slower Unfortunately, I started using MonkeyType with an account only after I changed the keyboard, and didn't think of taking a screenshot before... I regret it so much, so if you are doing something similar, please take at least a screen of your previous data but having a fresh account gives a bit of dopamine when it shoots confetti to notify you of an improvement It's more like wanting to improve, and less about trying to compete with your older self.
#Keyboard is a #ZSA #Moonlander in Dvorak layout, tilted and rotated to the outside instead of the usual inside (i find it more comfortable and natural) and with the halves widely spaced.
I use the computer e.day, for most of the day doing video-editing, 3D, moderation, some coding, a lot of chatting, study... needless to say, I have exercised every day for the past year
And yes, I can still use a qwerty keyboard (maybe because of the shock therapy change), but don't like typing on it!
I would love to hear your story too!!

I was rendering a project on #DavinciResolve, when I decided to raise the #CPU #scheduler from #schedutil to #performance.
Interesting how the #GPU utilization went up the exact moment I've done it, and remained high afterward!
CPU: threadripper 2950X, quad-channel DDR4 @3.6 Ghz
GPUs: nvidia 3060+3070
GPU affected: only the 3070.
#ListenBrainz has finally elaborated my #scrobbles from 2008!

Recently I've restarted using #Duolingo again, and... This week I didn't notice, but I've actually spent over 260 minutes studying!
Might not be the best way to learn a language, but surely keeps you on the 'books' instead of wasting time... and that's overall a win, I guess

Today I've been surprised by seeing my #artwork on the #SafeCreative's newsletter!
It is the one well.. with my name on it XD
It has an effect on your day, believe me

How nice to start the #Sunday with a dead external #HDD... blobcatmeltcry:
In its defense, it was the one where I was backupping the #BTRFS snapshots all these years.... No important #data was lost, but now I am 4TB short
#GoodMorning #hardware #computers #Linux #backup
Just discovered the #3D mode of #ORUI ( org-roam-ui of #emacs )!
#MindBoggling
I know that probably has been there for a while, but have never activated it!
Do you also use #orgRoam ?
This is a core node with an index, not sure if I should use it or link nodes differently.. but comes handy and can always disable it with filters

Since mid October 2023, noticing I was starting to have more and more #wristPain, which were lasting days instead of hours... I opted to give those fancy #ergonomic #splitKeyboards a chance, and after several research hours, I opted for the #ZSA #Moonlander, there were alternatives, but too far from what I was used to, was unsure and this was my final choice. (also found a good local used deal)
Since I was changing keyboard, why not use also a more ergonomic layout? So, I opted for a #shockTherapy and went with #Dvorak and used this combination ever since! My first days were quite.... a going back to when I was 7 years old, sub 10 wpm XD but after a couple of weeks, typing was not as humiliating as before and my speeds increased :)
From time to time, I recorded my progress on #Monkeytype and these at the bottom are 4 months of data, from a classical full size #qwerty at 110ish wpm to currently 60ish, with a constant increase week after week. I am not in a hurry, as my wrist pain vanished, and that was the final goal.. So I'm okay with half the speed and -95%ish pains :)
Hope this might prove useful to someone that is also considering this #journey or have this kind of #pain ^^

#Meta "describes" the #fediverse to the general public as a new type of #socialMedia, during the #threads signup
I wonder if I should take it as a good or bad news.. surely a bit disinformative
Almost ready to go 🔴 #LIVE - #Switches change to #CherryMX #SilentRed, from #Kailh #BoxBrown
I found that the Kailh Box Brown switches were a little bit too #noisy and hard for my #tastes, so I've opted for the Cherry MX #Silent Red instead.
On this #LiveStream, I'm changing them and testing the new #sound and feel.

Needed to compress a directory, and noticed that my script was lacking the ability to perform that action... so I've added a directory check [to the xz9 compress script](https://github.com/FraYoshi/fura-utils/commit/26299f31f49c7df22d5859e6aa6f49d495df5216) 💫
It should work, if you encounter problems, let me know ^^
It creates an `.xz` in case of file and `.tar.xz` in case of directory 📦

V2 of the [holder for the Solar Powered Fountain](https://qoto.org/@frayoshi/110832657222094856)
Since on the bottom part of the #fountain there are 3 suction cups, I thought of a design more dynamic and that would use less printing material.
Still have to print it, hope it will work once materialized

Just found out about #KhanAcademy, #mindBlowing!
#Amazing #scholar resources!
Just signed up, restarted studying #math, or better.. restarted it, as over a decade has passed since the last time I studied it, and noticed that I do not recall far too many things 😅
Take a look if you are into #learning like I am! :3
#waves, I too think they are one of the best answers to the energy problem ^^
What do you think? Is the #ocean the best answer to the semi-elimination of the #oil from the #energy generation process?
I personally think the answer is in the fusion reaction, but is still not ready, 2nd answer I think are either #wave or #fission.

I was replaying #DarkCloud for the #PS2, didn't remember this scene
maybe because I visited Claud's house at night okay the cheese, but didn't remember the soap as gift... I don't know if I want to use that soap, tho!
