That does help. One of the things on my to do list was setting up a backup system anyway, so maybe I'll play with that. Thanks!

Thanks, that's really helpful. It can be hard to tell between commands and acronyms in conversation with familiarity

This is looking like a good option, thanks!

The old drives are fine, just either too small or too slow, so it sounds like it may be an option

Any help with the acronyms? I'm still pretty new to Linux

That's fair, if you're just looking for RGB control and don't care about mechanical switches or macro keys and stuff, then I would check out what @JTheFox@lemmy.world said about openrgb and see what works and is a decent price.

I'm partial to corsair right now, and have had Razer stuff in the past. Both are fine, though still probably (at least slightly) overpriced for what you get. Either way, I don't think you'll regret any of the big makers.

Keyboards in general? Or RGB keyboards? I think all keyboards work fine for core functionality. It depends on what you are looking for out of a "gaming" keyboard. The big makers mostly have alternative software to program rgb and re-keybinds for keys as far as I've seen. I know corsair has a good alt software for both binds and rgb, Razer obviously from this post, and I think steelseries has one but can't remember off the top of my head

I have a mix of a roubo and an anarchist bench. I use the leg vise way more than I ever thought I would, and bench dogs are king for me. The tail vise gets a fair amount of use too. I didn't add a sliding deadman to mine, and I regret it (I have some dog holes in the right leg, but want some closer for smaller stuff). Its my first bench, so I've learned a bit making it as well as using it, so maybe in 5 years I'll make an updated one (which should go easier since I'd have a bench to build the bench on lol)

Yeah, that's exactly it. Even if is made of saw dust, it's (at least in part) real wood in some sense. I would agree that's nonsense.

Yeah, when I build stuff, I always just say the timber it's made out of, but I was talking with someone about an old dresser. They mentioned it was "solid wood", but the case was made out of an old press board. Which led to this question. I wanted to make sure I wasn't confused.

Someone else may be, but I was/am genuinely curious as to what others thought. I have a pretty "purist" view myself and wanted to see if I was in the minority or not.

Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information
