This is my third time in last 15 years I face issues with RSI. Do you have any tips on how to make the situation better and have less pain?
For the context: I'm on dvorak layout and have jis keyboard with heavy use of thumbs. 8 years ago I switched from evil to vanilla Emacs keybindings.
I also have a wanderer constraint at the moment: I have only one backpack for all my belongings.

How about switching to a truly ergonomic keyboard with split halfs or extended width, finger wells and ortholinear layout?

Israel and Its Lobby Dragging Trump’s Regime Deeper into Illegal War
counterpunch.org/2025/06/23/is…
"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the truth about Tyrant Trump the other day regarding Trump’s war with Israel against Iran. She said, “The President hears all voices across the country, and he makes decisions based on his instincts.”
His instincts are wrapped around his ego, his fantasies, and his
‘The war with #Iran is very bad news, and introduces a number of profoundly destabilising scenarios:
Regime change with no day-after plan, leaving a large cadre of armed military and security forces in play; the amassing in the region of western military forces that could become targets…or simply a prolonged war of attrition that would seize up the region’

Western leaders call for diplomacy, but they won’t stop this war – they refuse to even name its cause
The political centre sees the US and Israel’s war on Iran as a crisis to be managed, while the gap between their detached politics and bloody rhetoric widens, says Guardian columnist Nesrine MalikNesrine Malik (The Guardian)

That cohort inc the UK and EU.

Die Streusel haben eine charakteristische Rillenstruktur und sind in verschiedenen Größen zerkleinert. Die Glasbox steht auf einem weißen Tisch, und im Hintergrund sind vertikale Rollläden zu sehen, die auf eine Fensterfront hinweisen. Ein paar Streuselkrümel sind auf dem Tisch verteilt. Die Box scheint mit den Streuseln gefüllt zu sein, und es gibt ein paar Streuselkrümel am Rand der Box.
