🇪🇺 #Europe plans to develop a #robotic lunar lander to secure European access to the moon 🌙. #Argonaut will have a height of 6 meters, a diameter of 4.5 m and a launch mass of nearly 10,000 kg,. It can carry roughly 1,500 kg, such as food 🍽️ and water💧 for future #astronauts, to the lunar surface. The first mission is scheduled for 📆 2030 https://www.space.com/astronomy/moon/europe-picks-companies-to-help-build-argonaut-moon-lander
#Moonlander
Teaser.
I’m gonna sell a #ZSA #Moonlander, with choice of blank or lettered caps, and choice between three types of switches.
Will come with the tenting platform.
Stay tuned.
In the limited time before January 2029, it might be possible to develop another lunar 🌙 lander, but not from scratch. A new lander for #Artemis III could cost 💰more than what #NASA is paying #SpaceX or #BlueOrigin https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/science/nasa-moon-lander-spacex.html
#Starship issues are the need for many refuelings ⛽ and its height, making it difficult to land on uneven terrain. #NASA does not need Starship's incredible capability, it needs fewer than 10 tons for initial human 🧑🚀 missions.
#BlueOrigin's #Mark1 lander is scheduled to launch in early 📆 2026. It will be the largest vehicle to ever land on the #Moon. A modified version could land #humans on the Moon 🌙 this decade https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/10/how-america-fell-behind-china-in-the-lunar-space-race-and-how-it-can-catch-back-up

TFW your fancy #Moonlander keyboard whose #QMK firmware you recompile/flash every few months grew a backwards compatibility issue sometime between last April and today 😱
but also, chalk one up for obsessive holding-onto of previous firmwares for literally any device I ever flash; rolled back for now and the day was saved!
UPDATE: I talked myself out of it and into a #voyager with choc red switches
I'm thinking about getting an #ergodox #moonlander
Anyone wanna talk me out of it? @adamhsparks @snystrom
@farcaller@hdev.im #ZSA is great and their newsletter is one of a handful that I actually read.
Would love to have the same attachment for my #Moonlander!!
Still have to use an #ElecomHuge #Trackball between the Moonlander halves.
Ergonomically it's the best setup I've had, but not having to take my right hand of the keyboard would be neat!
My wife got me a ZXA #Moonlander keyboard for my birthday. Black, printed keycaps, cherry MX brown switches.
I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm super excited :)

How I converted my #zsa #moonlander into a low-profile keyboard
It takes time and I’m still so damn slow but I can feel a substantial improvement in typing speed and accuracy after 3 days. And on the way I’m learning to use 10 fingers for typing and hell of a lot of shortcuts. #keyboard #zsa #moonlander #typing #mechanicalkeyboard #ergokeyboard #ergonomics
Monkeytype https://seerlite.github.io/monkeytype/ is a good, open source, alternative to #ZSA's type.ing https://typ.ing/ , but my problem is that both of them focus on sentences of text. Most of what I do is code and restructuring, with lots of copy/cut/paste and modifier keys. So they're not really great practice for what I need most with my #MoonLander.

Business idea!
Cybercriminals resell proxy services powered by hacked routers:
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/police-dismantles-botnet-selling-hacked-routers-as-residential-proxies/
Consumer PCs and Androids phone costs are driven down by pre-loaded bloatware, TVs made cheap by ads and pre-loaded apps.
How about a line super-cheap consumer routers, subsidized with 3rd party proxy software built into the terms of service? No need to hack into consumer routers, this could be run as an above board business (...with shady customers)
Are TRRS coiled cables really that expensive to manufacture, or is it a case of "these cables are mostly bought by keyboard geeks who don't hesitate to drop a good amount of cash for this stuff" that makes them overpriced?
If you know of a seller with good quality/price, let me know please! I'm looking for a cable for my Moonlander.
I think I finally found a split #keyboard I love and can used without spending hours and hours of training while being slow…
The dygma raise 2 is a great keyboard I love it!
I know ortholinear keyboard are supposed to be the best but I didn't mange to use my #zsa #moonlander so instead I sold it and try the #dygma raise2 instead of felt in love with it instead!
I tried a lot of time to use my zsa moonlander without success, only one try of the dygma raise 2 and I was sold!
So the next thing is to start using keyboard shortcuts to switch browser tabs. Ctrl+num on most browsers and operating systems (although weirdly it's alt+num on Ubuntu).
I'm already using my zsa #moonlander to make shortcuts, so that all applications are an easy chord with my left hand. My thumb switches to my navigation layer, and the most common applications are keys QWERTG mapped to meta+(1-6).
Put the keyboard angle up another notch and whew it's intense, must be pushing 45 degrees now
