Hello, I would like to buy a keyboard that will last for many years so I thought about buying an original Model M. I have never owned a Model M so I would like some advice from an expert before purchasing. I have no particular budget limits. I am looking for a US layout keyboard in excellent/restore...

Wow this thread is pretty cool, let me see which images aren't in the roster of headers images and add them.

Maybe fix everything else that’s wrong with the site first you sweaty bellend.

I sincerely apologize if I missed something in the manual or in this forum thread. I've spent quite some time reading this thread but I haven't found any reference to my issue. I received my compact F104 a few months ago and the LED overlays don't light up when using Linux. They work perfectly when ...

I offered this to Pablo in Discord but I will fix DT if OneCommerce pay me in actual money and not guacamole. Perhaps this makes me a sucker (though that's my own problem, and not anybody else's to concern themselves with), but I offered to look at it for free. They didn't take me up on my offer, e...

I'd somehow managed to gloss over the comment about the monthly costs of an adequate server equipped with "64GB" of RAM and a "2023 ... processor". For sure DT doesn't need anything that heavy specs-wise; good grief. Talk about overkill. It has been many moons since I've shopped around for one so co...

Thanks for your support thefarside. My interest check for this is because the current ownership is expected to end quite soon according to their own statements and outside of someone outright buying it or gathering funds, the next owners are not obliged to keep the site running in its current form,...

Thanks NathanA. The readme txt file link does not seem to be working. Oops; thanks, fixed. I'd done some re-arranging of files after putting the index page together & forgot to update it. Also in the newfxx-vial-package_r5p1 file, would you mind including the pandrew utility source code and build i...

Something like 150 of complete 7690 systems were every assembled, with parts for a few thousand more. They never saw commercial production and sale. It uses SKCM brown for most keys and SKCL compact green for any of the smaller ones like the arrow keys, the f row and fn. Sheeesh, and I thought 5140...

I was thinking of attending the Den Haag ClackyCon on April 6th, 2024. Will there be anyone else from the DT community? It could be an opportunity to meet and have a together. Just for sharing some talks about our hobby. Please let me know. Ciao

Domain and IP reputation. Seems like a reasonable assumption. But Google will never tell you whether you are warm or cold. https://support.google.com/a/answer/9981691 I'll have to check this out. I wonder when they added this. Back in 2014, I ran into an issue with delivery to Gmail, and they absol...

I'm an email admin (been doing my own mail for 17 years, did it for a university before we went Google) and yeah this is stupidly easy to fix. But, it might not fix Gmail delivery completely as they are finicky as all get out (Sendgrid makes good money for a reason). I do see a SPF record, but no D...

Everything I've ever experienced with gmail is if you don't have SPF and DKIM you're going nowhere. I think my domains that I don't care about as much where I haven't added DMARC records are still deliverable with just that. I've was a pretty early adopter of all three and Gmail still sometimes bin...

…but continued free use…

Optimistic assumption! Nah, there would be fundraisers after a while and eventual flipping to someone else, I’m sure. You’re buying nothing. Literally.

You’re probably right. Bring on the ads!

I disagree with the posts above based on my experience with ellipse, and I don’t think he has any bad intentions. I trust he wants to keep the site as-is. I think he’s truly passionate about vintage IBM keyboards and I’m glad he’s producing them. I think debating about what his intentions are isn’t...

I’m in between. I don’t think he’s evil but I do think he should cough up 100% of the funds to buy it. He’s made plenty of money off Deskthority, more than anyone else* ever has by orders of magnitude. 100% of the ownership ->100% of the investment. Fair’s fair. * And really, besides Ellipse and “$O...

They look like typewriter caps i think - loads of typewriters used that mount. someone else might be able to tell you what typewriter they're from, though

I feel I have been completely forthright for my plans to keep things exactly the same outside of any bug fixes or other legal issues that need addressing for a site moving to US ownership. The benefit is for those who want the site to be kept exactly the same. As folks have discussed here before, a...

Please discuss matters regarding the DT site in the appropriate thread (or at least also post there) I moved one post NathanA posted here to the thread "Future of DT": https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=518792#p518792 It read: I have just made an additional blog post regarding a potential group...

I have just made an additional blog post regarding a potential group buy for the Deskthority site: Interesting proposal. I'm not entirely sure how some people here might take to the idea of contributing monetarily to a group-buy where they don't end up owning some kind of stake, or where the owners...

I’m thinking this topic is in quite the wrong place. (Originally posted in DT Talk.) The Workshop, perhaps? Are you sure you want to start a production line for something new that nobody has even been asked about? And if you just want someone else to make it, what’s stopping you from reaching out to...

Hey there, good people of Deskthority! I won't lie to you - I like old computers. Maybe because I'm no longer a spring chicken myself, but that's always the look I go for. After building myself a keyboard (Vortex PC66 with MT3 /dev/tty keycaps) it looks pretty cool, but my problem is the slightly no...

Hello. I just purchased a F62 Kishsaver. If you have one, care to share your layout ? I am curious how you handled the ESC, `/~ key and of course the arrow keys.. Thanks Caps lock+escape for the key that's usually to the right of the 1-key. Arrows is caps lock+HJKL but if the vi-arrows don't come n...
