  • Every now and then my MX ergo would feel like that, I take it apart and place the plastic ball holder (just the actual plastic part, removing all electronics) in hot soapy water for a few minutes. It has 3 little ceramic bearings that even with regular cleanup end up gunking up. While wet, i use the ball to jog the bearings around, then rinse with isopropyl and let it dry. Feels as good as new.


  • I used to constantly run the jetpack with heavy armor and a laswr cannon.

    I would jump in a base as my friends were circling a base, cut down the chaff around the entrance, switch to scorcher and take a priority target.

    Worked really well but damn those rocket troops… They normally had the precision of a storm trooper, but they would curiously snipe me mid-flight with a missile to the chest and ragdoll me out of the base



  • I dragged my feet for over 2 years after building my homelab and not putting proxmox. I highly recommend you start out with proxmox right away. It has its quirks and learning curve, but it’s been a breeze after “getting it”.

    At first I didn’t want the files inside LXC filesystems because I was used to manually poking at folders and such. But the periodic backup and restoration that gives you its the best, bar none.

    I rebuilt my setup after a faulty data cable destroyed my btrfs raid0 filesystem (I know, I knew it was dumb, but I had 8tb at my disposal and I wanted to use it dangit!). Long story short, my borg-based Nextcloud AIO backups were borked and took like 3 days of research and external drive juggling to get some of the stuff out of them. With proxmox it’s a single click to get the whole thing back up and running.

    Also you can use helper scripts as a sort of appstore, including turnkey appliances
