alacritty's default terminal is indeed still quite foreign to most machines but it can fallback to xterm compatibility by overriding the TERM variable in your alacritty.yml:

  env:
    TERM: xterm-256color

I tried adding the wireguard module to my loader.conf this morning and my VM bombed horribly on reboot. I'm not sure if it's some ordering issue or something else, but use some caution when doing this.

Kinesis Advantage 2 10 years ago

The Atreus is a fun project to build and the fact that the controller source code is freely available is great fun. I've built mine with Matias keys and they do feel better than the wobbly and less smooth action found in the Cherry brown keys.

I have a few Advantage keyboards as well and in my mind they serve different purposes.

The Atreus is a great portable lapboard and works really well when you use it in that regard. FYI: The lack of extra keys lend this keyboard to Emacs programmers; You'll be chording on this keyboard significantly more than you might expect.

For a non-portable ergonomic keyboard, the size of the Advantage and extra keys offer a more comfortable typing experience when used on a desk. These keyboards are pretty damn huge though and will fill a backpack without any extra help.

Hey Kinesis, if you're reading here, I'd love to see a controller upgrade for the original Advantage to get around the sticky keys bug. It's not even a problem to lose the built-in USB hub. My two old Advantage keyboards are trucking along just fine otherwise!

Quicklisp (http://quicklisp.org/) is a great resource for Common Lisp libraries. While it doesn't have the huge volume of libraries that's available for Clojure, it's a quality, curated, easy to use source. Combining Quicklisp and SBCL give you a great toolset for getting started with Common Lisp development.

UEFI is an overly complex standard leaving ambiguities for implementations. The gains from moving to UEFI almost don't seem worth the added complexity.
