Thanks for sharing. Haven't been up-to-date with Neovims development for about two years and my config is slowly falling apart - so this comes in handy for a starting point of a potential config-rewrite. I have still a lot of vimscript from when vim was my sole IDE, so probably migrate everything over to lua
Even though I've slowly migrated over to neovim throughout the past ~2 years or so, I still use vim as more of a "general purpose" text editor.
Neovim (mainly due to the amount of useful plugins + lsp support) is used by me as a full featured IDE, which I almost exclusively use for larger coding projects.
For quick scripting or editing of files I use my vim config, which is less bloated and very minimalistic.
The differentation probably doesn't make much sense, but for some reason I like using both.
great decision! Reddit sucks anyways (regardless of the current events) and will suck even more after the majority of Third-party apps are being cut-off.
Wouldn't this be solved by just choosing a random linux distros out there and use the options that come preinstalled? Unless one proactively looks for features of the alternative there won't ever be the situation where one has to deal with these kinds of things.
Other than that I think having options / alternatives is a great thing. And if option a) intends to replace option b), then there will be compatibility issues in various degrees.
It's not that different than with other computer components, like CPU architecture (ARM vs x86/x64), GPU chips (Nvidia vs. AMD) and many more. Choosing the most popular option will usually result in the least amount of potential compatibility issues, but any of those options will work well in most situations.
500,000 orders per minute on a $6/month server? Which language is able to achieve that?
RSS feeds are in my eyes the best way to follow cross-platform content in a single place without worrying about privacy.
It allows you to follow your favorite artists / content creators on instagram (via bibliogram), twitter (via nitter), youtube (via invidious), tiktok (via proxitok) etc. without having an actual account to these services or using obscure apps. You can also follow your favorite news site, subscribe to ebay search terms (if your looking for one specific thing), hacker news, blog posts and much more all following one standard on one platform.
By using a WireGuard VPN you could actually be connected to multiple endpoints at a time, if you are able to set the same tunnel IP for all endpoints. That would enable you to have that one connection open routing to different servers (Mullvad / Homelab / Offsite Lab / Work / etc ...) hence also using your own DNS resolver with a commercial VPN.
Good summary video! I think his TLDW (at around min ~13:50) is about the same as the general opinion regarding that conflict:
- Russia feeling threatened by NATO expansion
- Ukraine having plenty of natural ressources
- Building the infrastructure to harvest the natural ressources by western companies would mean closer ties to the west and accelerated EU / NATO membership talks and also less dependence of the west on Russias energy (or a direct competition)
I'm just wondering why Brave is mentioned and Firefox not, especially since they already mention Firefox (as Brave being an alterantive to it) It kinda implies Firefox not being open source
somehow stumbled across this HN post while searching for a pass-tomb alternative.
pass-coffin is a great utility! At home I'm using pass-tomb, which does the job pretty well, except the fact that the timer functionality is kinda broken (won't stop the timer when closing a tomb) and that entering sudo password for mounting is pretty annoying (so in total you've got to authenticate twice, one time for tomb and then for gpg decryption as well), especially when working with multiple password stores... My work laptop however is running Windows (no admin and no WSL), therefore pass-coffin is the only option and it's been doing a great job so far! I'm thinking of switching over my home setup to coffin as well
Brave is listed there as an open source alternative to Firefox (as well as Chrome and Edge). But isn't Firefox (which itself is not listed on this website) open source as well or am I missing something?
High inflation is actually a good thing, as it is result from wage increases
is it though? At least here in Europe high inflation is mainly caused by rapid increase in energy, logistic and food prices. Wages haven't even started to catch up, which will just cause more inflation in the short & mid-term.
I agree with your points of it not being worth it for most people and fixing lighting is a big factor -- however, even on zoom calls, using a proper camera / lens combo is very much noticeable compared to a regular webcam, regardless of the compression.
I've run a a6500/sigma 30 f/1.4 combo for a couple of months just for fun when COVID started and everyone noticed the quality difference. I ditched it in the end because it was way less convenient then to have a single usb webcam and nobody gives a shit about how you look.
This will require them to monitor and scan the communications of citizens en masse – even if they are still securely encrypted end-to-end so far.
how does this work though? Or do they want to force communication services to have backdoor into their encryption technology?
damn, your description is spot on and reading this triggered PTSD in me... Last time I had this feeling was two years ago when I destroyed one of our development servers because of a failed application update. I know exactly how I wished Ctrl + Z to exist in real life... We had backups of the machine, but it was still kind of a humiliating feeling to tell everybody and ask for restore from backup (everybody was cool though in the end)
was about to recommend the G14 as well.
Have my 2020 G14 since almost two years now and it's absolutely fabulous running arch as my daily driver.
afaik Jellyfin is a fork of Emby once the Emby Team decided to close source the project, which was very unfortunate for me to hear back then as a Emby user. However, I've tried Jellyfin two times since then and found it (also) to be the inferior product. This might have changed since my last adventure, so might give it another shot.
Wanted to cut down my reddit consumption anyways... :|
Isn't the FIRE person just delaying it's consumption? At some point the saved up money will be spent, therefore I wouldn't expect it to have a huge negative impact on economic growth
Isn't this a normal salary for highly skilled software engineers in the US?
I'm pretty sure the demand for a mobile computer like steam deck is way higher than any oculus quest competitor. How many of those exist right now that can play any steam game? Zero!
