hi!

i'm webmaster aka gorm. i've been into coding for a great time and like to mixture with things, homebrew and host stuff. i'm also a privacy geek and can appreciate politics.

i don't quite remember how i found this place, i think i was snooping around in some server and clicked a link but i instantly fell in love with this forum >:) it looks nice, feels nice and is new and the fact that it has a tech and privacy focus just makes it excellent. i look forward to seeing it grow.

i use arch btw with hyprland btw with the dvorak keyboard layout btw but i also use my rooted android phone as a linux machine lol. fun fact is i wrote this on my phone.

my native language is lua as i started as a roblox scripter, but i know a bit of everything. i'm also into art and modeling and such.

cya around!

stay silly

I guess we're all coming here from all sorts of places. Maybe it's something that's destined, and attracts all of us here for what sums down to the same reason. That's interesting.

We all have the same common interests. I like that. I hope it'll really help to make us all bond together here.

>dvorak keyboard layout
What's that? I've never heard of that but I really would not want to spoil it by using a search engine to find out. Is there a difference between that and QWERTY?

>i also use my rooted android phone as a linux machine
An entire Linux machine? Do you run any DEs or WMs on it, or is it more of a server, or something else entirely? That's pretty interesting.

Hello! gorm!
Cool website you got there. I love the little cat running around, chasing the cursor.

@bradtober hey hello thanks for your welcoming! The Dvorak layout is optimized for typing faster (more common keys at more accessible locations) unlike QWERTY which is in fact made so that common keys are AS FAR AWAY from each other as possible as this was useful on old writing machines where pressing two coherent keys easily makes them stuck pressed down.

I can run DE and stuff on it, practically anything is possible but it's very much work and not very effective, thus I mostly do terminal based stuff aka without window manager.

@Dr.R thank you very much! It's called oneko and is a shimeji aka thing which lives on computer and interacts with user. The skin for it is ripped off from hacker maia arson crimew's wepsite as well as pretty much everything because sharing is caring but copying is love ^-^

the dvorak layout sounds interesting. howd long did it take you to learn and do you think it was worth it? (i may be tryna improve my typing lol)

> wepmaster says:

It takes some time, but after about a month of using it I was able to write on it flawlessly. I've been' using it for a few years now and I can say it was definetly worth it. I write incredibly much faster and it's just super statisfying comparing to QWERTY, which I look back at with disgust if I have to use it.

I'd say to not start using it for more serious matters such as school projects or long texts first as this will slow you down a lot, but if you've got free time I'd recommend trying it.

Also worth mentioning is that you'll probabry switch to a custom virtual layout at first, which means you won't be able to see which key is where when looking at the keyboard. This is what I did at first and it helped me learn writing without looking at my keyboard, though nowdays I've got a mechanical keyboard where I physically switched places of the keys. You could also DIY it, e.g. taping paper on the keys or smth.
