@bx Yeah iirc it's one of these. https://www.tindie.com/products/arturo182/bb-q20-keyboard-with-trackpad-usbi2cpmod/ tbh it wouldn't be an issue if my steam deck had more than one usb port :P

If jacking into the net could flatline you we'd probably have a different relarionship to doomscrolling.

@bx what sort if typing do you usually do tbw? I mostly code and do dms for work stuff. Usually I just use STT if I have something long to say

@bx Yes absolutely I get what you mean. I use a mini keyboard as my primary input device and the ps4 mini keyboard is just so much less confortable. A pal of mine gifted me a mini blackberry keyboard which I'm curious to try using for a while, but it being wired makes it a bit harder to set up

@futurebird @thepoliticalcat All the fun of spray painting too!

@bx Yessss. Big same about a steam deck based controller. I like the ps4 controller but the deck is so much nicer. Tho the typing thing is still nagging at me. Tbh the on screen keyboard on the deck isn't too bad with the dual trackpad typing.

@em @teal Oh mood yeah. Kinda wish it had a way to "bring your own keys"

@em @teal What makes you say that they can't? I use signed fetches as auth for the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox and it's pretty straightforward. There's the issue of CORS headers not being availabke on a lot of instances tho.

@teal Yeah defs gonna experiment with this in yhe AP client I'm plabbing to make for #DistributedPress

@bx oooo! What is the model name? I have been hoping for a bluetooth trackball

@sundew Yes! Pretty high on my todo list. Main thing that's been holding me back is figuring out how to get it into url formats to retrieve content in my p2p browser @agregore

The system seems pretty neat tho.

@forestjohnson @teal @em Big mood. The hyper-modularity and dynamic nature of libp2p and ipfs makes things hard. I generally stick ti reading source code when I want to know what's going on.

Regarding centralization, these days dht nodes can be used for rendevous and packet forwarding which is pretty handy. Would be cool if there was a webrtc enabled dht that could do stun and turn on any node with a stable ip.

@em @forestjohnson Yeah! FWIW the libp2p ecosystem seems to be abstracting over all these details so apps can focus on "dialing" into peers based on public key, and it figures out the transport and relaying.

@bx One thing about the ps4 controller, I really like being able to use the touchpad as a mouse/scroll wheel as well as a "middle click". I've been able to do all my desktop navigation thanks to that fact.

Also now I'm looking at this open source ble gamepad with esp32 which is probs easy enough to program keyboard output into. >:) https://www.tindie.com/products/electropoint/esp32-ble-gamepad/

@bx Just tried out 8vim myself. Seems pretty neat. Could see it being handy once one has enough muscle memory. I think it *might* be possible to do with virtual menus and "mode switching" but it'd be janky as heck. Probably easier to just write code which listens on the inputs and uses xdotool to generate input events.

Joycons sound great actually. I've been using my ps4 controller but maybe I should give those a shot too. :o

@em @forestjohnson Yeah webtransport is defs going to make it easier for browsers to connect to dhts and "native" networks. I worry that it still doesn't give us enough however.

It doesn't (yet?) give a way to host servers listening on incoming connections. It can't do UPNP and other negotiations with the router, and it can't do multicast UDP for local peer discovery.

Still a good step though!
