Dear users,
Today, electricity is not just comfort for me — it is the ability to work and maintain this website. Due to the war, my home is without power for up to 18 hours a day. When electricity is gone, the internet is often unavailable, the refrigerator stops working, and much of the time I am forced to sit in darkness.
The only realistic solution is a power backup system — an inverter with batteries — costing about $2200.
Thanks to your support, $470 has already been raised — 21% of the goal.
This is an important step forward, and I am sincerely grateful to everyone who has already supported me.
I have taken a loan to start solving this problem, but covering the full cost on my own is very difficult. Every contribution brings stable working conditions closer.
If this project has been useful to you and you are able to help, I would be sincerely grateful for your support.
Support for Power Backup (Inverter + Batteries)

If you are looking for a handy tool to get information on your keystroke count or want to test your own dexterity, try our Keyboard Monitor Windows 10 gadget. With it, you will be able to view the number of total keystrokes, along with the current, average and maximum speed, measured in kps (keystrokes per second) in real time.

This tool contains a “Play/Pause” button in the center. With its help, you can run or pause the counter if required. Moreover, you can always manually reset all counters. Apart from that, if you double-click anywhere on the gadget’s main frame, it will open the “Keyboard Properties” window.

The gadget allows you to personalize for each element of the interface. Furthermore, you can assign a keyboard picture.
