I recommend trying out Redragon Horus K261, it took a while to get used to but I like it a lot now. It's a low profile keyb.

You could try participating in Advent of SQL[0]! It's a bit rough around the edges but fun nonetheless. [0] - https://adventofsql.com/
I think it just auto opens a container according to the URL. So if url == 'amazon.com' then switch container of tab to shopping.

Nice site! Only pet peeve is that I wish I could revisit/save a specific set or maybe open the HN comments on a new page?

How do you define "learning linux" though? Just learning vim and general unix tools?

My youtube recommendations on my laptop are just short videos(all are below 3 mins with a few exceptions ;-;) I get so much better recommendations by using youtube tv but it sucks that they don't let us switch preferences. But well results in me spending less time on youtube so a win heh

This is the first time I'm seeing a comment section that uses ssh for submitting comments which is pretty cool! I think it'll be a nice addition for any blog (along with a moderation system probably)

Hello, what would be your recommendations for someone who wants to take the next step from basics of C to contributing to FOSS repos (for ex: FFMPEG or VLC or mpv)? I have been working my way through [Modern C](https://inria.hal.science/hal-02383654/file/ModernC.pdf) but I can't seem to figure out how does one start with making(/contributing to) non trivial projects.

Hey, is it bad to breathe through your mouth while running/jogging? I had a badminton coach who advised us not to do it unless it was unavoidable. But I really struggled with it so was wondering if breathing through nose was fundamentally better for whatever reason.
