Also, this model i ordered does not have the usual blue Enter and ThinkVantage keys. And the keycaps cannot be replaced with the blue-kind keyboards (i tried).

I just spotted it when unboxing, since seller uses a generic stock photo with no details on the model of the keyboard. (And lists all compatible FRU/part numbers, rather than the FRU for this model in particular).

I've finally put a Japanese layout (JIS) keyboard on my Thinkpad T430 (I was planning this for months).

It features extra keys at the space-bar row (at the cost of a shorter space bar) that i am using as modifiers and those far-right keys that my pinky cannot reach.

I also took the moment to map arrow and scroll keys to the main key cluster (IJKL) while I keep the compose key pressed.

On my custom layout, the keys labelled “Control”, “BackSpace” and “Compose” on white stickers are actually double-keys set with xcape(1). When pressed together with another key, they act as modifier (control, alt and group-switch); but when pressed-and-released alone they produce regular keysyms (Esc, BackSpace, and Muti_key).

I am still trying to get used to this custom layout, and it is subject to change.

OpenBSD users, can you tell me your experience of full-disk encryption on a SSD?

Is the encryption overhead noticiable compared to plain SSD? Or is it as slow as HDD?
How often have you lost files due to a poweroff letting your partition on an inconsistent state?

2.5'' HDD accidentally the ground and got not working for mechanical reasons (disk cannot spun).

Self note: backup.
