  • I am a big fan of Ducky, and I’d recommend you to look at their popular One 3, or Shine series.

    I have not used a Shine in many years, but I am daily driving the One 2 series, the One 3 has replacable switches, RGB and a good design.

    As for what switch you should get…

    MX Brown are tactile, so no deliberate click, but just about any mechanical keyboard will make some noise depending on how you type.

    With replacable switches you can get other switches if you find the default not to be to your liking.







  • I have boycotted Logitech since they started pushing Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update, as soon as you plug a Logitech device into your Windows computer you get the program Logitech Downlod Assitant that you can’t uninstall or easily stop running.

    So I got myself a Xtrfy M4 and later the Xtrfy M4 Wireless, they require zero program to configure it, it’s brilliant!

    Last week I got myself a Pulsar Xlite V3, it needs a program to configure it, but it is manually installed, require no internet connection and saves the config to the mouse.

    As for keyboards, I am a huge fan of Ducky keyboards, they just work for me.

    For my audio, I use a Röde Videomic Go II, no software needed, but Röde central is used to configure it, it acts as a soundcard that I connect my Philips X2HR Fidelio headphones to.

    It works brilliantly!


  • There is no golden rule for this, just like any social media, laws vary in different countries.

    You should block all NSFW instances and all NSFW communities on general instances if you are concerned about breaking the law, doing that shows that you are intentionally blocking content that is seen as questionable.

    My blocklist is huge, I tend to browse all, and add instances or communities to the list constantly. Most of the stuff is things I find annoying, ourt of sight, out of mind, other times it is hard NSFW and I don’t want to get porn by randomly browsing Lemmy, if that is what I am after I will use a dedicated account.

    You can also just subscribe to communities you want to read and only browse those.



  • I feel like I belong to one of the last generations that had to figure stuff out on our own when it came to computers back when I was a kid.

    I was born in 87, my first computer ran Windows 3.11, I remember installing Windows 95 from floppy disks.

    The whole “it just works” part of tech is both fantastic and horrible, fantastic in that it works, horrible in that when it doesn’t you get way fewer tools to work with.
