Welcome to my digital garden – a space dedicated to exploring technology and sharing what I’ve been learning. This site reflects my passion for continuous learning and open-source software, wherein I document my journey, offer insights, and dive into miscellaneous topics that reflect my interest. My goal is to maintain a corner of the Web for self-expression focused on valuable, distraction-free content. I believe in the power of the Open Web as a platform for sharing knowledge.

Problem statement: the Keychron K2 (C3, stock firmware) disconnects from macOS after ~10 minutes idle — and there’s no way to prevent it. I spent some time looking for a fix. The usual suggestions: Disable Bluetooth auto-sleep in macOS?...
