@Boris_yo Go big or go home :-) how large is the ball in the Orbit? While aready there are people would would never like a trackball, and so you can only test and see if it works for you. If the ball in the top of this particualr design i am using was smaller i would not like it. I measure it at 2" . In this design i am soewhat "palming" the whole thing with 2-3 finger resting on top of it

With much contact with the human hand , like a mouse is all hand grabbed, that is completly different from rolling with a finger , like a good index finger, or thumb rolling which to me does not feel like there is precision control.

with a large body contact area (and me being generally jittery to begin with) tweaking it with a single finger it is all over the place. Rolling with a thumb was not as bad at all, but you have to think about how far you can roll then, before your "picking up the mouse" again repositioning the thumb to roll more.

There were 3 things I changed on the expert almost immediataly too, as i had always hacked up even regular mices to get the feel i wanted. "However, the trackball housing itself is constructed on a very steep incline." the angle is terrible, i use a shim to prop up the side close to me.
The scroll wheel, in an awkward position around the ball which i though was better than rotating the ball itself (Slim) which induces curser movment. I dissasembled it immediatly and silicon lubricated the whole of that, for 2X better movement.

A vast improved design would have actual ball bearings supporting the ball , even though that would require more cleaning. Instead they use tiny ruby balls that the ball rides on. Putting in a Tackpad scrolling on the left and right, so a sweep of the thumb or pinkey does scroll

Trackpad type scolling (only thing i loved about trackpads) was put into a apple "magic mouse" or some name, I was temped to try one of these new finger sencing apple mouses until many many people on an apple were not to thrilled with it.

a quote from magic mouse amazon comment that rates it low "The scrolling action on it just rules. I keep using it just for that."

I suppose someone will figure this out before i try it, but i too would like to Hop between the 2 (using seperate disk and hardware boot menu) Until the one is settled and filled with programs, and customised, and assuredly works without any fails. I guess flat out buying it would solve that.

Know any ssh key management tool ?

Something that adds, removes and verifies keys

@Bob punishment for not using the search :-)

Bob

@HackToHell depends which OS

you've got your basic ssh agents

you can also import ssh keys into keepass

HackToHell

Not client side, but server side. It's annoying to manually add a key

And then set permissions, etc and shuff

Q: Managing authorized_keys on a large number of hosts

What is the easiest way to manage the authorized_keys file for openssh across a large number of hosts? If I need to add or revoke a new key to an account on 10 hosts say, I must login and add the public key manually, or through a clumsy shell script, which is time consuming. Ideally there would...

Q: SSH key / authorized_keys management tool

@Bob I'm asking namecheap's DNS server for all TXT records regarding patosainz.cl, they answer with two TXT records, the long one which is the one I set and I want and the shorter one which is automatically added by them with the Email Forwarding feature and is conflicting with my own SPF policy

I originally used Zoho mail and a cumbersome IMAP and SMTP but gmail would only check incoming mail once in every hour unless I flooded myself from spam so gmail's "clever" algorithm deduced that checking more often would be better

Xirtarg in steam.

It is refreshing and rather surprising that on steam , when handed a game for FREE , they still go ahead and compare it against $200 million doller ones :-)

good clue that a game might not be worthy of buying, the youtube playthrough videos only make it to 1st or 2nd video .

I know the monitors much of my stuff will be displayed on will be backlight with 2cent china blue leds. But if this color is normal looking to anyone, or even has color anywhere in the video , then my own stuff must look horrible when put on those same monitors

Not to mention that the "grafics" would be good for minecraft :-)
