morjom··on LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking
Post title isn't exactly accurate since it is aimed at mostly math (personally, technical writing isn't only math/equations).
morjom··on An accessible one-handed keyboard, inspired by FrogPad
There's many accessibility focused input devices that lets you use your mouth/tongue. There's also foot pedals, voice activation software etc.
morjom··on Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI
It'd be neat and somewhat funny if there was a privacytests.org equivalent but just Firefox forks.
morjom··on OutRun – Open-source, privacy oriented, outdoor fitness tracker
There's also the Ultrahuman Ring Air which is around the same price but requires no subscription as far as I can tell.

morjom··on Authy is shutting down its desktop app
Android: Aegis or ente

iOS: ente

PC: 1Password, Bitwarden, KeePass

morjom··on Ask HN: How many of you are consciously downsizing your devices/going retro?
I would like to downsize my tower but GPU and Water Cooling takes space. There is a 5-10C degree difference between an air cooler and a good AIO.

As for Phone I use grapheneOS, and upgrade once it drops out of support cycle (previously 4a 5G, now 7a).

I have a Steam Deck and that's all my smart devices.

morjom··on Ask HN: What's the most exiciting thing happening in your niche?
I don't have a niche and I'm not really excited for anything in particular. One could also say I'm in too many niches at once, thus spread thin and not managing to follow any specific one.

Which is to say I'm not fun at parties I guess ;)

morjom··on Does Wayland really break everything?
I'm relatively new to Linux but I used x11 for the first few months and switched to Wayland when re-installing/distrohopping and I really couldn't tell the difference other than screensharing, which is now fixed for my usecase.

All this to say that Wayland might be the new go-to for new users since they can't tell the difference? Idk.

morjom··on EVE Online – Down the Rabbit Hole [video]
Fredrik recently started vtubing under Merryweather Media / Astraline, might have something to do with the removal of pictures?

..and yeah, that is indeed just the way he talks.

morjom··on Used Coffee Grounds Hold Potential Key to Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases
My mother uses the used up filtered coffee grounds for some of her indoor plants. I can imagine there's something useful for the brain in that aswell. Weird relation to make maybe.
morjom··on Firefox for Android will soon support extensions
Isn't Firefox still behind on the whole container/secutity thing or is that past winters snow?
morjom··on Why is it so hard to make digital fire look good?
Or for a more stylized option, Sea of Thieves (video game by Rare)
morjom··on Impacts of lack of sleep
As a narcoleptic these always remind me that I'm kind of screwed on many fronts. I still try to do the good things (been going for morning walks, slowly getting to the point I don't have my phone with me in bed, drinking lots of water).

Sorry kind of a rant.

morjom··on CD Projekt Red devs unionise after its third round of layoffs in three months
Check the game again, they updated the game recently that revamped and added a lot of features (Cop AI, vehicular combat, clothes arent armor) that should've been there at the start.
morjom··on Ask HN: What software did you purchase that positively impacted your family life
Care to detail it a bit more? How much did you use frameworks if at all etc (you did say you wrote it yourself so probably no framework, or?)
morjom··on Say (an encrypted) hello to a more private internet
Next up, more DNSSEC adoption?
morjom··on Raspberry Pi 5
I used my 3B+ as a Vaultwarden server and PiHole.
morjom··on My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards
My journey so far has been (24yo):

The keyboard on my dads HP laptop

Generic keyboard that came with my familys first home computer (WinXP)

A Logitech Ergo version who knows

Logitech G110

Logitech G15

Razer Arctosa

Razer Blackwidow 2013 (first mechanical)

Misc. Tesoro brand keyboard

Mistel Barocco MD600 (split)

ROG Claymore (removable and sideswappable numpad)

Keychron K3v2 <- now

Next might be a printed -dactyl or moonlander.

morjom··on My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards
Keyboards with numpads on the opposite side exist. Sometimes called a left handed keyboard or in the mechanical keyboard world, "southpaw".
morjom··on Freelancers aren’t happy with Japan’s new invoice system
https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Tallinn
morjom··on Platform that enables Windows driver development in Rust
(Sitting here running Wayland aswell, where the mouse feels just fine)
morjom··on Tech Independence
Probably the reason its working is because its been running for two decades.
morjom··on Expert Beginners
I feel like I get stuck on expert beginner in most things. There arent many things I've gotten to Competent, if at all. Maybe low self esteem playing into it but I think my gut feeling is accurate on this.
morjom··on Introduction to Immutable Linux Systems
Introducing, BTRFS + Snapper.
morjom··on Thinking in a foreign language improves decision-making
As a Finnish person who almost fluked Swedish class I wish I would've taken it more seriously. Knowing a language or three at that seems like a big up in life.
morjom··on Tails is a portable OS that protects against surveillance and censorship
>why not more ppl switched to alpine

I think one reason might be musl and its compatibility.

morjom··on There are now two types of PayPal dollars, and one is better than the other
What are the alternatives to PayPal?
morjom··on Reasons to not use your own domain for email
Privacy is when it is known somebody is doing something but not knowing what/how.

Anonimity is when it is known something is being done but not knowing by who.

morjom··on uBlock-Origin – 1.52.0
I think ublock lite got released on Safari recently.
morjom··on Graphics card generation is over and it was mostly trash
Then I guess you should sign up somewhere in the VR sector.
