Background

So I recently got my first ergomech keyboard: a used BastardKB TBKMini, 3x6+3 layout.

It came with the default keymap.

I have been crafting my own initial keymap, using some vim-based heuristics and Callum style one-shot mods.

Followed BastardKB's instructions and got my keymap to compile.

Then onto flashing. This is where the problem is.

The problem: flashing the board

Instructions: https://docs.bastardkb.com/fw/flashing.html

I managed to put the device into bootloader mode with both layer keys and the top-left key. Verified that it is in bootloader mode by checking that typing has no effect. Also lsusb shows "Atmega32u4 bootloader" instead of "BastardKB TBKMini keyboard".

But I don't get a disk device.

Things I tried

udev

I tried adding the udev rules that QMK docs recommend: https://docs.qmk.fm/faq_build#can-t-program-on-linux

But it still won't work.

OS

I even tried another pc with other OSes: same behavior on

• Fedora
• CachyOS
• and even Windows 10

Help me please! 😥

Any ideas on what is going wrong here or what I could try to work around this? I really want to start using my split ergomech with a proper keymap.

Looking forward to reading your suggestions tomorrow morning (in about 9 hours for me, I'm in Europe). I wanted to post this now because I hope the Americans will be able to help me.

EDIT: Thanks, with your help and the help of some kind volunteers on the bastardkb discord I figured out that I have the old v1 elitec version and I managed to flash it with an old version of the bastardkb firmware. I got the layers working, as well as the combo, but callum’s oneshot modifiers aren’t working yet: https://github.com/fhoekstra/bastardkb-qmk/tree/main/keyboards/bastardkb/tbkmini/keymaps/fhoekstra

EDIT2: I finally listened and just followed the upstream QMK instructions, and it all just works, with Callum-style modifiers, combos, and a custom caps word:

We've been wanting to set up Music Assistant and now since we started using ProtonVPN, Apple Music is constantly blocking our account.

Do you have any recommendations for a music service that works well with Music Assistant and from behind VPN?

I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they'll understand the why and the how.

Currently moving my partner and I from Google to the Proton Duo plan.

Mail import and forwarding is great, the calendar is decent (we only miss the month overview widget on Android), the missing Linux Drive client is a pain (I tried to mount a subfolder with rclone and am now getting 429-ed (rate limited).

Some unsolved usecases we have are on mobile:

• We use Google Keeps to share lists and take notes, and would like a mobile, non-Google, syncing notes app with a widget.Rsync is OK, we don't need it to constantly synchronize, daily is enough.

• We use Google Sheets on mobile to track things like board games and cat weight. Any ideas for a syncing mobile-friendly sheets app?

I've tried Standard Notes but it doesn't seem to have an Android widget.

Cryptpad UI is too cluttered on mobile.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Thank you for all the quality replies!! So far I've found Collabora Office to have an amazing Mobile UI. Unfortunately I can't edit files in Proton Drive in another app on Android, and manually downloading and uploading sucks. So I'll need to figure something out for sync.

In terms of notes: Standard Notes, Joplin and the Obsidian apps I found have no included widget. NotallyX does, and the styling feels a lot like Keep. There is a separate ObsidianToDoWidget app but it hasn't seen any update in 2 years. Dark Note looks nice but looks like it isn't open source.

So for now I'll go with NotallyX for the note widget.

Both Collabora Office and NotallyX will need an external app for sync so I'll check SyncThing For Android now.
