Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent?

Only you can answer this. How many days of data are you prepared to lose? What are the downsides of running your backup scripts more frequently?

While I was looking for a Christ the Redeemer keycap (posted pic in another comment) I came across another statue keycap that is even pointier than the one in the original post:

source: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1830835231/statue-of-liberty-keycap3d-printing

It looks like someone has done it at some point! Though with a blocky head and in bronze colour for some reason. It turned up in image results and looks like it is from a deleted Etsy listing, so it’s not available any more.

There’s plenty of Christ the Redeemer 3D models available (eg. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3636051), which should be pretty easy to adapt to keycap for anyone who can do 3D modelling.

The same company actually sells two other licensed 40k keycaps that would be quite impractical, just not as much as the statue. The two pointy helmets make the other helmets and the macrocannons look comfortable by comparison.

That would be awesome 😆

EDIT: This fucker developed a short within like an hour of my closing the case back up. Now I have to either use my multi-meter to learn the entire 130-key matrix, or I have to desolder all the switches and kill the calculator function to turn the board into a hand-wired custom, though that would allow the left side function keys to be different from the top-row ones. Sigh.

Damn it! From a historical preservation perspective I hope you try to restore the original electronics, but I realise that could be a lot of hassle. Good luck whatever route you choose!

Unicomp still makes this extra-chunky layout in a buckling spring: https://www.pckeyboard.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=UB40B5A

Why would you event need a mouse with that many arrow keys!?

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it!

I assume you have got it by now? I certainly hope so! xD

Have you been enjoying it?

I’m considering buying a Shinobi - I’m inclined towards having dedicated function keys - so I’d love to know what you think about the Shura compared to the Shinobi.

HP, as well as being hostile to its customers, is also complicit in the Israeli occupation, and is a major target of the BDS movement: https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp

Don’t buy HP products.

That is so much better 👍

Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache

Go as the Blue Screen of Death: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death

Now that’s spooky! 🟦😱

Wear all blue clothes, and get a copy of the screen printed (not on your home printer) to wear on your chest.

if this is to protect kids on your network

Sadly, I suspect this is to protect adults on the network…

where the port is rotated 180 degrees so the push is between the plug and the back of the screen

That ought to be a crime! I would be getting fed up with that pretty quickly and making some improvised modifications to disable the retention clips!

a plug that claws itself in place

Just FYI, you can get DP cables without the retention clips. I too find them unnecessary and annoying.
