Thank you

I just had to say thank you to the developers for such an awesome Lemmy client.

I am still clutching on to the remnants of Sync for Reddit, and bits are slowly breaking over time. But having Summit and slowly becoming more active with Lemmy has been a godsend.

I guess there are no plans for a Reddit port of Summit? 馃ゲ

ipod路iPodbyCora

iPod of Theseus

This is my original iPod Classic that I bought in 2007 in high school. It was originally an 80GB silver 6th gen classic.

I first replaced the battery in 2012 during college, and mangled it so badly it was held together with duck tape.

In 2015 after college I replaced the battery again and got a new back and front plate (still silver).

In 2019 I replaced the battery with a 2,000mah battery, purple front plate and thick back. I also swapped the screen with a new one since the original broke, and added a black clickwheel. This was also when I first flash-modded it with an iFlash board and SD card.

In 2024 I replaced the back again, upgraded to a new 3,000mah battery, and got a new headphone port.

The only original parts left are the board and frame. 馃槀

thinkpad路ThinkPadbyCora

ThinkPad X13s with Ubuntu

I originally got this ARM ThinkPad to install Linux onto it, but support for the Snapdragon 8cx processor, and other hardware hasn't been supported until recently. I read a thread just the other day that it was now working on the Ubuntu Concept ISO built specifically for the X13s, and thought that I'd give it a try!

Since I got it, I've been running Windows 11 on it waiting until the Linux firmware was ready, and the experience has been less than fantastic.

Recently on Windows 11 Pro, the ThinkPad has had bluetooth headphones cutting out, and refusing to connect until it has been rebooted, as well as constant Windows Explorer crashes upon logging in (huge icons, icon spacing on Desktop is stretched out, Explorer doesn't start and it just shows the wallpaper with nothing else, etc). I haven't yet had any of these issues on Ubuntu yet!

To get the system up-to-date with everything working (sound, bluetooth, Wifi, etc.) I ran the following commands in this order after the fresh install. I have heard updating everything without doing the firmware first broke some things on others' machines.

  1. sudo apt update
  2. sudo apt install --upgrade-only linux-firmware
  3. sudo apt dist-upgrade
  4. Reboot

I'll be using this computer on Ubuntu now that everything is working! This post is written from it as well! :D

ergomechkeyboards路ErgoMechKeyboardsbyCora

My first split keyboard!

I just built this Ergodone over the weekend to replace the JJ40 Planck that I use at work. I really needed the number / symbol row, since I still have trouble remembering where the symbols are even after using the Planck for two years.

I actually use the Colemak layout, but I leave the keycaps as qwerty, since admin level powershell only likes qwerty, and some of the remote servers I go into don't retain my keyboard settings. Then I can just look down and see where the keys are.
