That’s a coincidence, I was drooling over this exact keyboard just this morning. I like a numeric keypad in the office but most keyboards are just a little too wide. Hope you enjoy it. Which switches did you go for?

Veeam Agent going to a NAS on-site and the NAS is backed up nightly to IDrive because it’s the cheapest cloud backup service I could find with Linux support. It’s a bit slow, very CPU-bound, but it’s robust and their support is pretty responsive.

Exactly that. Royal Kludge makes one.

I think it’s a good layout. I have a tenkeyless at home and for some tasks I definitely miss the number pad more than I’d miss the arrow keys, especially since the number pad by design doubles as arrow keys and always has. I’ve seen even smaller keyboards that have numpads but not the number row, which would also be sweet. Reclaim some vertical deskspace as well as horizontal.

You can still get some mechanical keyboards with numpads but not arrow keys, though since these are variations on compact layouts they tend to omit the numlock key as well.

Looks fine to me. When you type it, you see ILoveBeans42!! because it’s your password, but I just see **************.

Huh. I guess you must have the same password.

Nah because if you type in your password it will show as stars.

******* see?

I downvoted the beans and I don’t care who knows about it. I’d do it again.

This is useful to know though, thanks. I guess assume everything is public short of your password (unless your admin is particularly nefarious and has altered the code to store passwords in plaintext for some reason).

Yeah. I run my own FreshRSS server and use FeedMe to access it. It’s mostly just a bunch of UK newspapers and tech news sites because I realised I was getting all my news from Twitter and I wanted to cut back my use of Twitter. It’s fine. The great thing about getting my news from social media was that I’d follow a load of people with similar interests to me so I’d mostly just see articles that interested me regardless of the source. Now it takes more scrolling to get past the articles I don’t care about to find the ones I want to read. It means I get a broader overview of news that isn’t effectively curated for me, either by other people or by algorithm, but it’s not as engaging. It is the right choice though if you’re looking to see more outside of what you’re usually shown, as you say.
