Die Menschen: schwitzen

Thanks for the insight on how you manage with the switch! Like you said, it’s about comfort and the feel while you type. 80 or 100 wpm will not make or break it. In particular with programming. 100% with you on the US layout, it’s just way better in just about everything.

Almost went for a ZSA board, but the ortho pushed me away. I already struggle with switching mentaly, because most layouts around here are ISO not ANSI

It’s not like I went crazy, but did not want to blame it on manufacturing. Luckily there’s some people on YouTube and it was quickly fixed

Thanks :)

Interesting thought, but I never considered it. It’s not for me but I am sure it would have some benefit to someone. This would make for some unique cages for sure - have not seen anything like that out there yet.

I was wondering: is there something like cross posting? Would’be liked to post it in a bikepacking community as well, but the only way I found was recreate the same post. Or make a post with just a link I guess

Like stated above: I have no idea what I’m doing, so take this with a grain of salt.

Regarding welding, I am lucky enough to have someone close by that does it for a day job. Therefor I have the chance to get some educated input, as well as access to professional equipment. This is how I ‘learned’ MIG welding. I am sure there are courses around (at least where I live, but you would have to google that yourself), but I just went ahead with a project in mind and it worked out. In contrast to wood, you get plenty of chances to ‘make it right’. The saying “filler and paint make me the welder I ain’t” has some truth to it. Just prepare for lots of grinding and sanding and you should be alright.

With all that said: I don’t like welding very much. It smells and I would always make sure to have proper ventilation. Also make sure you are well covered to avoid burns from weld spatter.

Cooles Projekt und Respekt fürs machen! Grüße von jemandem, der auch bestimmt 10 offene Projekte rumliegen hat 😬

Thank you very much!

Oh wow, that looks very promising! Will deploy it on my server and have a good look!
