  • It’s hard to tell if it’s a similar cause, but I had issues with double-inputs and occasionally keys would work intermittently on my Dactyl Manuform.

    After getting frustrated enough having resoldered it several times, I hot-glued the PCBs to the case. The thinking that small movements during a key press was causing the contacts to be broken. Everything has been working great ever since!

    If you want to be cautious and have a multimeter, you could also check the connections between the keys. That might help isolate where to focus your efforts.









  • In a similar vein, I’ve seen a lot of auto moderator implementations created. If instead of creating yet another project, people started contributing to existing ones we’d have a good core set of functionality that could be shared across instances. Competing implementations are fine, but at some point the efforts get spread so thin that progress is limited.








  • The server itself is running nothing but the hypervisor. I have a few VMs running on it that makes it easy provision isolated environments. Additionally, it’s made it easy to snapshot a VM before performing maintenance in case I need to roll back. The containers provide isolation from the environment itself in the event of a service gone awry.

    Coming from cloud environments where everything is a VM, I’m not sure what issues you’re referring to. The performance penalty is almost non-existent while the benefits are plenty.
