Chapeau!

Ich habe keine Ahnung, was auf Geekhack so passiert, die Seite habe ich schon vor dem unsäglichen Wurm nicht mehr aufgemacht. Für mich fällt der Begriff "Maker" definitiv auf Makerspaces und damit Bastler zu. Macker hat damit eigentlich nicht zu tun. Die Makerspaces sind einfach offene Werkstätten, ...

Seems like they didn't really change much

But is it true that they now can make Double Shot PBT caps? I'm still a sucker for the good ole Cherry Dye Subs…

I'm very interested as well. Bought two grab bags last year. Haven't really regretted it. The fun alone was worth the money. Although the customs and taxes were kinda shitty. So I'm all for buying one or two bags via a proxy / reseller.

Why is this in the Portuguese section though?

Aw crap. I would have loved discussing that. I've been reading several books on microtypography lately.

Well, due to these problems (especially the ADD) I failed the only exam I took this semester. Thing is, I haven't really felt in control of my life over the last two years. Just barely making it somehow. Being unable to plan anything, just doing things as they come and forgetting most of it along th...

:D Actually I was already taking pills, but they only worked against my panic attacks, not against the depression. In the hospital they switched meds, things got better, and I got another 6 weeks in a psychotherapy ward. Things really looked good then. I'm having a little setback currently, the meds...

Hi folks, I'm back once more. My life hasn't been treating me nicely to be honest, I've spent about one and a half months in a psychiatric hospital. I'll have to see if I somehow can get back into this community. Probably finally renew my club membership (sorry for not replying to those messages…). ...

I still need a vim keycap. Anyway: vim (vimwiki, airline) urxvt screen (I've never really seen the advantages of tmux) mpv (a mplayer fork, more features, more active development) mpd + ncmpcpp irssi redshift Evolution mosh dwb (the best lightweight browser I've tried so far. Customizability is amaz...

I am not a fan of Cherry ML. Compared to scissor switches, it binds on off-centre key presses, it lands hard and it is has a scratchy feel. The binding-issue is why most keys larger than 1×1 are "hat caps" -- all other keys larger than 1×1 have an additional stabilising wire. I suspect that the scr...

So another thing I've missed during my absence. The return of sixty.

It's really great reading words from you again!

Well, my father earns too much, so I don't receive the German government funded student loans. (You get a specific amount of money, based on your parent's income, and have to pay back half of it afterwards. The rest is basically a gift from the government) I have a total income of 700€ per month, ma...

Eh. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Yeah, I also missed all the Kishsavers. I'm a bit sad about that. I couldn't have afforded one anyway.

yeah, student life is also leaving me no money for keyboards, let alone keycaps. I guess otherwise I might have participated in the Granite GB. And apparently I missed the Unicomp announcement.

Hi everybody,

it's been quite a while since I've last been here. University doesn't leave me any spare time, but I thought I would pay you a visit again! How have you been?


RC

p.s. If any German students happen to visit the Konferenz der Informatikfachschaften, let me know, so we can meet!

Hmm. Duisburg is a bit far…

If you happen to come through Karlsruhe, let me know!

CM Switch Tester V2 Or membrane?? You're seriously asking this in a community dedicated to mechanical keyboards? :D But seriously, DIY would be cool, but I'm not sure how good it fits into this concept. I would definitely like to have it hardware-programmable, as in the programming is stored on the...

I'm really skeptical about the durability of this printing process. The big plus of dye-subbed keycaps is that the plastic is dyed, so the printing is as durable as the plastic itself. If only a pad printed base is being dyed I don't see any advantages over regular pad printing.

So yeah, as a user of the Neo-Layout I'm screwed. I need capslock as Mod3 to access the layer with punctuation signs.

This layout makes the keyboard practically unusable to me. Great.

So if my trusty T400 breaks down I might have to look into buying a used T430.

Yay!

I'll be available on DECT 5108 and (GSM) 5109.

In comparison to last year there are so many people I know, who're attending, it's gonna be amazing.

Hi everybody, I guess some of you might have notice me posting a lot less. That's probably the stress from university. If you're spending all time you have on mandatory exercise sheets and get about 4 hours of sleep during the week because of it, there isn't much time left. However I will have a bit...

I'm surprised matt3o isn't up there yet. He has organised multiple group buys from scratch, and has made some great contributions to building custom keyboards.

Cherry Dye Subs. They are still my favourites.

Is there a reason I got another email? I already paid the day I got the first one.

paid yesterday. Why did I pay via SEPA even though I could have used an ordinary non-international transfer? I saw your national data only when I already sent the money. Hope this works out.

I sent a PM. WHERE IS MY INVOICE? DID YOU SEND IT YET?

I want to pay while I still have money.

But I can't afford more

I would gladly pay more, but I still need to get and pay for the trailer license, and my bank account is at 50€…

Seeing how short on money I am, now that I got my driver's license, I couldn't afford more than 30€. But that I'm willing to pay.

Germany probably won't be the country to found a club in. It always depends on where you live, but here it's very complicated to become and stay a "eingetragener Verein". You need to have a member meeting at least yearly, where decisions are made and the new board is elected. You also need to send t...
