Satechi X1 Slim
I bought a Satechi X1 Slim for dad’s iPad about a year ago. It’s a 60%
scissor switch Bluetooth keyboard that you can use wired (USB-C), too
(Fn + Eject). The feel is rather close to the Apple Magic Keyboard.
Yeah, not even mechanical! I know, I know.

VPS troubles and the weekend
This weekend I went to the cottage with P on Friday. I hoped I would
have a nice weekend reading in front of the wood stove, but I had also
planned to spend at least a few hours trying to configure Maddy as the
new mail server for hack.org et al.
Then the web server I moved to the new VPS died. Again. I connected to
the VNC console and, like before, the Linux kernel couldn’t find its
root disk. A simple:
# mount /dev/vda2 /sysroot; exit
in the emergency shell solved thi … ⌘ Read more

i started a little thing on my dreamwidth and called it a flash prompt box. basically it's a limited time thing where people can prompt me for stuff i'm offering, like short fanfiction, photoshop-edited user icons, music recs, and a bit more! i'm having sooo much fun with it so far it's been a blast just making stuff for friends :)
