Oh, that colemakclub one is more pleasant to use than colemak.academy which I used before. I'll also certainly check out they Keyzen one, there might be something to that as well.

These tips are all solid, and reflect my setup. Database (MariaDB) and PHP files on the SSD, data storage on spinny bois. Don't underestimate the importance of a recent enough version of PHP, OpCache, enabled, and so on.
There's a whole chapter on performance tuning in the manual, and the "Security & setup warnings" part of the administration settings should point out some configuration issues, when it finds them.
My setup might actually take a (smallish) performance hit because I use btrfs for all my filesystems. Just don't get roped into the whole "wsl on Windows" thing, that's just not going to work out, it's a kludge that MS offers to not bleed users to Linux too much, but it's certainly not meant for server workloads.
The hardware should not be the bottleneck at all, the 1265 in OPs machine should not be significantly slower than the 1280 in mine.
Eh, my gen8 is chugging happily along with Nextcloud, Synapse, Jellyfin and friends, docker-mailserver, a GoToSocial instance, Home Assistant in a VM, and so on. I don't know what else is running on your server (and, admittedly, I've added some RAM and stuck in a somewhat beefier Xeon CPU), but it should have no problems running a web app like Nextcloud, especially if you stay away from the more intensive stuff like office apps.
That aside, I've gone through a fair amount of note taking apps, and so far I like Joplin best, too bad it doesn't seem to work out for you. Not sure when you last checked out the Android app, but I do know there's been some changes in the editor it uses recently-ish, it might be worth it to check again.
I really enjoy the board, but the thumbs are waaaay too tucky for me
Yeah... I took one look at that image and my thumbs started cramping up right away. ;)
It does look very snazzy, though!
Ha, kinda the same story for me.
For my first ergo split, I wanted to build a Corne, but ended up building a Lily due to not being able to order the Corne and being somewhat uncertain of "just 3 rows". Now my mapping has gravitated to something that'd fit on a Corne, I don't use the outermost thumbs and am weaning myself off of the num row. Still considering whether I should try and work with 5 columns instead of 6, but there's some useful keys there — for now.
I can see myself building another split in the future (something that's slightly more travel-friendly than the Lily), and it's probably going to be a Corne. The Lily's thumb cluster is slightly to far to the outer edge for my comfort.
Or being forced to find a headset somewhere because my hearing is shit and I can't make out what they're saying (and don't get me started on the auto-generated sub's).
Also, not having ads waved in my face on YouTube is a plus.
Also, I read a lot faster than the average youtuber talks.
Some things benefit from video, but tech articles tend to not fall under that category.
That is completely wild, hats off!
It's a different kind of effort, one that doesn't give you RSI or at least improves your situation. And as explained, that mental effort is temporary, it gets engrained in your muscle memory quite quick.
I'm kinda curious about those caps, as well! The layout looks Colemak-ish, is it far off?
The layout looks Colemak-ish, so I'd expect the E to be the key labeled 5 on the right half.
Smaller keyboards like this use layers to reuse certain keys, rather than adding more. The idea is to minimize finger/hand/arm movement. Things like choosing a more efficient layout (QWERTY is actuality pretty bad in that regard), using home row mods (so the letter keys under your index fingers double as Shift when held, for example), and so on.
It takes some getting used to, but it actually quickly becomes second nature.
Go RJ45 or go home! ;) With a Japanese duplex matrix you should have plenty of wires to have that layout working, I think. And if you go with two MCUs it's even less of an issue.
Fun writeup, and you ended up with a functioning keyboard as a bonus! How's the double row of thumb keys working out for you? Or do you only use your thumbs for the lower two and index/middle for the other ones, or...? I've never tried a board with two rows of thumb keys and somehow I don't see myself liking them, but I see them around enough to give me FOMO.
