Not gp but I really like the sound of my GK Kuntens and 7Hz Zero2s. Both have a rather V-shaped sound signature, some like it and some don't. Though unfortunately the Zero2s feel a bit uncomfortable in my ears when using them for longer
I'd guess the speed improvement in those cases likely came from learning a better technique, like touch typing and using more of your fingers. Afaik a lot, if not most, of the fastest typists are still on qwerty.
That "officially supported" comes with a huge asterisk though. Security bulletins for old android versions already only include backports of high severity patches. On top of that the device also gets no security patches for firmware or kernel, as the hardware and kernel are eol. The FP5 is also on an eol kernel after less than 3 years, not that they were providing kernel updates in the first place. https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devices-lacking-stand...
I think it could be interesting to explore Universal Blue based distros such as Bazzite for this kind of use cases. The OS comes from a standard OCI container image, which means you can create your own customized one by layering changes on top of an upstream base image.
I feel bad for the unsolicited distro plug though especially since you already have a solution that works well and you are familiar with, but I thought it might still be useful to mention it. I'm not sure if uBlue would even be better vs your current setup. Seems like netboot would still be needed to get the latest version without an extra reboot.
> For a lot stuff on my local network I don’t want the hassle and there are loads of use cases in local networks for normal people to just have port 80 no certs on something like 192.x.x.x because there is no easy way to set up public certificates for that and I don’t want everything hostem on cloud - some stuff I want to still host for myself in my local network.
Tbh I don't see what's hard about this. All you need is an A record pointing to your 192.x.x.x, acme capable dns host and a modern reverse proxy. You can even use a free ddns service if you want. Wouldn't bother with this for development, but anything hosted for longer than a few days absolutely yes. Imo not getting browser warnings is alone worth the few minutes it takes nowadays.
I like that Zig allows using relaxed floating point rules with per block granularity to reduce the risk of breaking something else where IEEE compliance does matter. I think OpenMP simd pragmas can be used similarly for C/C++, but that's non-standard.
I have used this setup for 6 years or so with KeePassXC and it's fine. Just being mindful of not editing stuff on other devices before the first one has had the chance to sync has been enough to avoid pretty much all sync conflicts. I have only had to resolve those a few times so far, iirc my android client was misconfigured at the time or something.
I still recommend Bitwarden for password management for any "laypeople" since it will just work. Also worth noting that the basic functionality is free.
Do you have an opinion on the keyboard firmware ZMK? They seem to use LESC but MITM during pairing is still a concern: https://zmk.dev/docs/features/bluetooth
