  • I mean… you can, but beyond the technical aspect of setting up the hardware/services/DNS, you also have to deal with the unknowable black boxes that are the major email services. As a very small server, you’re gonna run into deliverability issues and have absolutely no feedback or recourse from the giants. There’s a decent chance that you’ll end up with a perfectly configured mail server that, through no fault of your own, fails to actually get your messages to their recipients.

    (Sorry to be a bummer here! If you do go this route, I hope that everything works out well for you.)

  • I've always found game threads useful as a scoreboard and as a way to see which games were interesting and worth catching up on based on the number of comments. I hope this community can reach that level of engagement.

    For now, it probably doesn't make sense to have both game threads and post-game threads. Would it make sense to edit the game thread with the final score and stats once a game ends?

  • My wife and I got Nextmugs, which have no app and one single button that switches between warm/hot/piping/off. I tend to drink hot coffee slowly over the course of a couple of hours, and this has been a significant quality-of-life improvement.

  • Lily58 has regular keys in those spots by default (I think they're [ and ]), which is more straightforwardly useful than the rotary encoders. There are surely some great uses for the encoders, but I have yet to discover them

  • I just moved from a one-piece ergo keyboard (Truly Ergonomic) to a Sofle RGB after spending Way Too Long comparing the available options. It's pretty good so far. Some early thoughts in case they help:

    • Split design lets you put both pieces exactly where you want them
    • Number key row is right where you expect it, so you don't need to switch layers for commonly used punctuation
    • It's a popular keyboard, so it's not hard to find resources
    • Column stagger feels natural right off the bat
    • Rotary encoders don't seem very useful so far; I feel like Lily58 might have had this right
    • Modifier keys don't feel natural yet, especially those on the outside
    • I never thought about which thumb I used for the spacebar until this keyboard was staring at me

    All in all, I'm happy with the Sofle and anticipate using it for a long time.
