[2023-08-29T01:14:52Z] <midfavila`> going to see if i can upgrade from gas station attendant to medical scribe [2023-08-29T01:15:01Z] <midfavila`> hoping all those hours shitposting and arguing on IRC are going to pay off here [2023-08-29T01:15:23Z] <sad_plan> fingers crossed midfavila` [2023-08-29T01:19:20Z] <midfavila`> there we go [2023-08-29T01:19:22Z] <midfavila`> not terrible [2023-08-29T01:19:27Z] <midfavila`> 94wpm with 100% accuracy [2023-08-29T01:23:51Z] <sad_plan> I think thats rather decent. I see other people get way higher, and I just cant fathom how theyre typing that fast [2023-08-29T01:24:11Z] <midfavila`> it depends on whether you're measuring burst or sustained [2023-08-29T01:24:19Z] <midfavila`> i can burst up to 110-120wpm with 98% accuracy [2023-08-29T01:24:31Z] <midfavila`> i've clocked as high as 150wpm under extreme circumstances [2023-08-29T01:24:53Z] <midfavila`> most people only measure burst speeds using those online typing tests [2023-08-29T01:25:01Z] <sad_plan> well, sure yeah, but some people seem to be somewhat consistent with 120-150 ish or something. which I dont get.. [2023-08-29T01:25:07Z] <sad_plan> yeah, probabably [2023-08-29T01:25:16Z] <midfavila`> most people would only be able to do that with a specialized keyboard [2023-08-29T01:25:21Z] <midfavila`> i can't recall what they're actually called [2023-08-29T01:25:29Z] <midfavila`> but they're the ones where each key corresponds to a phenome [2023-08-29T01:25:37Z] <sad_plan> I see [2023-08-29T01:25:49Z] <midfavila`> i use a standard QWERTY buckling spring with ~75g weight so [2023-08-29T01:25:58Z] <midfavila`> if you were able to use a lighter weight switch, you could get a faster timing [2023-08-29T01:26:03Z] <midfavila`> but i can't type as accurately on a lighter-weight switch [2023-08-29T01:26:19Z] <midfavila`> i have this weird technique where i use the rebound of the springs to bounce from key to key [2023-08-29T01:26:28Z] <midfavila`> i don't think a modern switch would be able to work for me [2023-08-29T01:26:47Z] <sad_plan> right. I just use the shitty keyboard on my laptop. I get somewhat decent speeds imo, but nothing impressive [2023-08-29T01:26:59Z] * midfavila` nods [2023-08-29T01:27:09Z] <midfavila`> keyboard matters a lot [2023-08-29T01:27:10Z] <midfavila`> go figure [2023-08-29T01:27:17Z] <midfavila`> if it's not the right board for you, you won't be able to do well [2023-08-29T01:27:29Z] <sad_plan> theres alooot of switches. so I suppose if you built yourself a new keyboard, you should probabably find a set of switches which would suit you quite well, if not better. [2023-08-29T01:27:39Z] <sad_plan> seeing as technology has gotten better over the years [2023-08-29T01:27:50Z] <midfavila`> technology has gotten *cheaper* over the years [2023-08-29T01:27:57Z] <sad_plan> touche [2023-08-29T01:27:58Z] <midfavila`> not unilaterally better [2023-08-29T01:28:05Z] <midfavila`> i consider springs to be far superior to all modern switches [2023-08-29T01:28:40Z] <midfavila`> i'm excited to experience the keys on the MNT Reform though [2023-08-29T01:28:45Z] <midfavila`> Kalih Choc Brown low-profile by default [2023-08-29T01:29:59Z] <sad_plan> ive heard of that keyboard. dunno where though [2023-08-29T01:30:36Z] <sad_plan> I have a ducky 60% at home. its ok if you ask me. im happy with it. I did initially wanted a 40% ortho though, but theyre harder to come by [2023-08-29T01:30:59Z] <midfavila`> i won't use less than a standard format keyboard if i have a choice [2023-08-29T01:31:04Z] <midfavila`> i *need* a numpad [2023-08-29T01:31:16Z] <midfavila`> i'm one of like three people that uses one on a daily basis [2023-08-29T01:32:47Z] <sad_plan> I get that. numpads are usefull for sure. I just wanted a 40% because I find them amusing. not saying theyre practical in any sense [2023-08-29T01:33:13Z] <sad_plan> I have a numpad on my laptop, and I use it quite frequintly [2023-08-29T01:33:41Z] <sad_plan> always kinda hated laptop which didnt have one. which is somewhat strange, seeing as I want a keybaord without it [2023-08-29T03:18:09Z] <midfavila`> https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=ckZlj2p8W9M [2023-08-29T03:18:16Z] <midfavila`> sitting here lifting to the beat [2023-08-29T03:18:27Z] <midfavila`> pretty excited to be able to go back to the gym [2023-08-29T03:18:43Z] <midfavila`> found out i can leg press in excess of 500lbs recently [2023-08-29T03:59:26Z] <sad_plan> is noone else having issues with zlib 1.3? gzip breaks, and openssh will complain about zlib version being below 1.2.3 [2023-08-29T04:00:25Z] <sad_plan> I had this issue earlier last week, but I reverted zlib to 1.2.13. which fixed the issue for me. now oasis updated zlib aswell, and it broke there aswell imidiatly [2023-08-29T04:07:58Z] <sad_plan> it seems if I alter the version in zlib.h from 1.3, to 1.3.0, openssh now wont complain about it atleast [2023-08-29T11:32:49Z] <phoebos> sad_plan: nope [2023-08-29T11:33:24Z] <phoebos> the most I get is "checking for possibly buggy zlib... yes \ configure: WARNING: zlib version may have security problems" but no errors [2023-08-29T11:38:16Z] <sewn> midfavila`: personally i've been looking at some white switches with a 38g operating force cuz reds are getting boring and im not a heavy typer [2023-08-29T11:38:33Z] <sewn> considering you have a buckling spring keyboard it makes sense since if you actually went into mechanical keyboards you would be very broke [2023-08-29T11:38:39Z] <sewn> idk what they're like but they sound cool [2023-08-29T20:23:53Z] <sad_plan> phoebos: strange.. and no issues with pigz if you rebuild with zlib 1.3 either? [2023-08-29T21:05:13Z] <phoebos> nope [2023-08-29T21:46:27Z] <sad_plan> hm, ok
