Short SMART test, the drive is 5 years old at most. The most I’m doing on the drive is MB/s… So it should be fine
I’ll try to get a new drive, probably SSD. Can it be related to the drives card? I have an hardware RAID drive aggregator card, with a single disk on it (had 3 in the past and the 2 oldest ones just died at the same time, making scratching noises ; they were 10+ years old but SMART said everything is fine (short one, haven’t tried a long one as smartctl -a tells me it will take about 5-10 for all disks).
For todos, I’m currently trying out todoist. It’s like Todo+date (can be repeated like every day/week etc)+priorities and a few tags and stuff. I can’t say it works for me nor that it doesn’t work, it’s been a few weeks only, but a trick to somehow make it work (I mean like use the app to help you accomplish stuff and not delay it) is to write down everything: fold the laundry, wash the dishes… And then organize them when you feel like it, give them a date so that you do them when you need to. I look at the app every morning to know what I have to do, and just doing things to mark them as done feels good (tho I must admit that I let a few todos roll over multiple days because they are daunting tasks but at least I do them).
For notes I have had Google note but it was hard to organize them and find your way through. Now I use obsidian at work (miss colors and tags but there is markdown and folders), and notion for personal stuff. Notion is great but my database is growing quickly and even if I love organizing it and could spend days just putting tags, folders, colors, arranging everything to be perfect, I feel a bit overwhelmed because, well, it’s huge. I may need to make a central hub page with links to everything I use frequently?
Nothing, but keep in mind that maybe 95% or even 99% of the fediverse users are a bunch of nobodies. To have a stalker or someone trying to impersonate you, you would have to be extremely lucky (or unlucky)
I used books to put board over, quite adjustable, though not the best.
If it’s cheap enough to you, the z-tripod is only 25$ (you’ll need two). You could find even cheaper version were you just put the keyboard on it and rely on gravity to keep it from moving.
To give you an idea, manfrotto pocket tripod + magsafe adapter+magsafe rings is about 120€ (about the same in $ I would guess). To me that starts to qualify as expensive.
A very cheap version if you have a 3d printer (or a friend who owns one) would be to design your monoblock stand like this https://www.printables.com/model/311468-corne-tilt. There is the option to print legs too (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/corne-keyboard-tenting-mod). Jlcpcb or other manufacturers can print them for you (but mind the shipping and taxes).
