Vortex, the keyboard

The Vortex Pok3r is a 60% keyboard that I got as a gift from a friend. It’s a solid keyboard but the firmware is proprietary and quite restrictive; I like to set the arrows keys to follow the vi keybindings (h,j,k,l), this is not possible with the stock firmware, besides that I also use the caps lock key as left control, this is possible, but it is always better to have full control of all the keys.

Mining on a Raspberry PI4

I have an extra Raspberry Pi4 doing basically nothing, and with the Nano R4S on its way to replace my router I’d soon have 2 Pi4 doing nothing, so until I find a purpose for them, why not get them to mine a bit! I’ve been a huge fan of Monero, I like everything of it, from the name (in Esperanto, a language that I have been slowly trying to learn) to its superb privacy.
