The wiki login uses this extension, the bug should be related to that:

As it gives a blank page when logged in, there's probably a PHP error which can be found in the PHP error log.

Yeah yeah Ellipse did the unimaginable horror of... *checks notes* ... creating a small business to sell new F and beamspring keyboards to enthousiasts. And he offered hosting with like a working wiki. You are really good in picking your battles. So the conclusion is you rather wanted DT to die than ...

Shame you campaigned against Ellipse taking over. How did that work out for you, eh? Good job.

Heavy F62 HHKB user, almost 4 years daily driver, still going strong.

Massdrop was different because they are a 3rd party. This fight is way over the top - Ellipse is a single person small business who works hard, he is not a big company like IBM in its former glory. It's like attacking your local bakery as if it were an evil big corp. And if you disagree, there's a ...

You just posted a private message and ridiculed it.

Great find! Business must have been tight at the knight rider foundation. The beggars had to use a cheap IBM terminal clone.

I don't know, but it's funny that they also used it with a IBM 3270, with like a fucking monitor inside the monitor?

Following up on my super-informal poll from several weeks back, regardless of what you choose to change it to, which of those two keys do you expect you would change: the far-left one, or the far-right one?


Those HHKB "fans" who use a FSSK or F104 should be excommunicated from the Church ...

It seems they set up load balancing but it was only tested on the forum.

So the previous new owners couldn't pay rent, and sold to the landlord to settle it? That doesn't bode well.

Unicomp GA LLC had net sales of $0.7 million and a net loss of $0.2 million before the sale.

Ooh that's pitiful. I started a small webshop two years ago and closing in on that (minus the ...

Should have been called Lord Of The Pings.

Yes, would trade for B62 HHKB!

F62 HHKB still going strong after over 4 years of heavy daily use.

I still need to buy one of your beamsprings, Ellipse.

I managed to replace the cable - it ended up being an odd interaction with Unicomp. I hadn't heard back from them after several days, so put in an order and listed the model number of the keyboard. I quickly got a shipping confirmation email, and some time later got a reply to my initial query ...

The photographs with those stickers under under the dot-matrix versions are certainly interesting!

Still (playing devil's advocate)... why would these keyboards before "general availability" have a sticker with a vendor code on it? Isn't "12 26/10" like 26 december 2010 in American date format? Why ...

I like it, except for the blue sticker. As far as I know IBM never used stickers like that, certainly not in the eighties. It has inspection date 9 10 10. It reeks of 3rd party service company.

Still waiting for my flying car and voluptuous AI robot butler.

The trick is not to say it is shit (which it is), but to point to source it is shit.

Seems like a reasonable assumption. But Google will never tell you whether you are warm or cold.

Seems scientifically accurate.

Domain and IP reputation.

Just reply back with another AI.

There once was a keyboard so sleek,
CNC Magic, not mild but unique.
Glitter65 R1, with a gapless shell,
Typing on it was like a spell.
But beware, it might make you speak in antique!

In the realm of forums where keyboards abound,
A tale unfolds, with a business sound.

Decided to embark on a new terrain.

With passion and keystrokes, a community grew,
But change was on the horizon, a different view.
OneCommerce emerged, a venture to ...

In the realm of keys, where clicks create a song,
There lies a collector, with a passion strong.
Webwit of Deskthority, a maestro of keys,
His keyboard collection, a symphony that appease.

Mechanical wonders, in a chorus they stand,
Each key a melody, crafted by hand.
From vintage classics to ...

What happened to OTD? That inspired the Deskthority name.

OTD became quieter and quieter over time, with a huge drop-off happening between 2013 and 2014. It still had sporadic posts as late as 2017, but at that point it was clearly no longer the busy, tight-knit community it once was. To put ...
