product review website with canadian models/prices/links? (ala Wirecutter) (lemmy.ca)
 

I like the wirecutter when researching some kind of consumer product.

Problem is that the available models and their pricing is often radically different compared to Canada. If they recommend a certain item as US$20 on amazon.com, the identical item on amazon.ca could be $100, or completely unavailable.

Any alternative websites?

remapping keychron v3 via/qmk on linux? how to upgrade/reset the firmware? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So you mean it would have no effect, yes? On restart it will have the same settings and firmware it did prior to pressing the reset button?

I looked at the QMK docs to see about using it from the terminal. But I am not clear about how to get around the issue of the firmware not being up to date.

I don't quite trust various bits and pieces I've found about how to use it around the web. Like the configurator page for this device says

Reset Key: Hold down the key located at K00, commonly programmed as Esc while plugging in the keyboard.

compared to the keychron docs I linked to in the OP which says

reset the keyboard by pressing fn + J + Z (for 4 seconds)

And also describes an actual reset button located under the space bar.

Why are they different...? It seems like keychron probab knows how to reset their own device. So I wonder if it is a good idea to load anything from this qmk page using methods I don't understand well because I'd never be able to get myself out of a mess.

remapping keychron v3 via/qmk on linux? how to upgrade/reset the firmware? (lemmy.ca)
 

I have a keychron v3 (official docs which of course I have looked through) keyboard with a knob. I would like to upgrade the firmware so I can map the knob.

I am using VIA v 3.0.0 AppImage on Manjaro linux. I did the udev thing and it seems to pretty much work.

The factory reset instructions on the keychron website only explain Mac/Windows and I don't know how to transfer them to Linux. Actually I am not sure if this is even the required procedure to upgrade the firmware but it's the closet I can find.

What if I use the hardware reset without the software running on the computer?

Any other tips for mapping this keyboard with linux... I am having a hard time generally as it is apparently undocumented. I can't access their facebook group.

is a separate firewall required or does openwrt include that? (lemmy.ca)

For a while I have been planning to switch from an all-in-one wifi router to having separate devices because that way they can be upgraded piece by piece instead of having to replace the whole thing.

I am confused about the role of the firewall.

If I have a router running OpenWRT, does it have a firewall included? Either by default or by installing certain packages?

Or is it required to have a separate firewall running opnsense/pfsense?

If not required, what would be the benefits that would lean in favour of separate firewall?

use case: small home network 2-3 users. some internal self hosting and maybe one day external self hosting.

ETA: The best internet I could subscribe to where I’m at is 1024 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up. So don’t worry about wasting fibre speeds. :(

My assembled components so far are: router, WAPs, switches, ethernet cable and cable modem.

Thanks for any advice.
