You say that as if it’s the only option while being on a platform that explicitly isn’t a single organization hosting the entire thing. There’s no way this is a serious comment.

Of course, and that’s why something like PeerTube works differently.

Oh yeah I should have said, it’s certainly not something you should do a lot or keep it like that haha. They’re definitely not designed to be in that position.

It holds on the one corner until you push it back in.

Oh, I didn’t know that. Thanks!

For the past month I’m paying around 30% more than I was in July 2022, and 10% more than I was in April 2022. (I just picked two random months from where I wasn’t yet either too lazy or busy to track everything I bought on the computer. Really need to catch up on that tbh because I haven’t updated the file for more than a year.)

The amount of stupid bullshit such as energy drinks I buy varies so to get any actually usable stats I’d have to average it over a longer time frame but it seems fine to me.

Why, how bad is it elsewhere?

Malevolent!

Plot summary:

Arkham Private Investigator Arthur Lester wakes up with no memory of who he is or what has happened, only a nameless, eerie voice guiding him through the darkness.

Blind, terrified, and confused, his journey will lead him towards a series of mysteries in the hopes of understanding the truth of what has transpired.

As cosmic horrors seep into the world around, Arthur must ask himself whether this entity truly seeks to help him, or are its intentions more…

Malevolent

It uses the podcast medium so well with the main character being blind and the resulting dialogue between him and the voice in his head that he needs to see the world around him, like the listener, and in general is incredibly well written. Harlan Guthrie is a genius.

Could you perhaps give some examples so that I can better understand/grasp why you feel that’s the case?

Hmm, one I guess is that it is not “permanent” and deactivates after one command (in Kakoune, you have to explicitly do ‘;’ to collapse the selection to its end (which you can flip with the start using ‘alt+;’) or move around without extending the selection). That’s really the only thing I can think of at the moment and I feel like often it really doesn’t matter tbh, so maybe I was just talking out of my ass there a bit lmao.

Apparently you can quickly reselect it in vim with ‘gv’ though, which I never checked until now. That’s useful to know.

One thing I’m really missing from vim though is that it can list directories, has a hex editor, and can read a bunch of other file formats. I think it can even edit remote files over sftp, but maybe I’m confusing that with Emacs. Kakoune just does local text files (though you can of course do stuff like ‘%|xxd’ to pipe the file through xxd to get a hex view, edit and then ‘%|xxd -r’ and save but that feels very very sketchy).

I kinda do for how ubiquitous Vim keybindings are.

Yeah, that’s a great reason to stick with it. It’s unfortunate that nothing really has Kakoune bindings other than Kakoune.

I think preference is generally subjective.

Of course, I know preference is subjective. That’s why I didn’t say “it’s better” :P Could very well be that vim works better for you.

The big reason I like them more is the concept of selections. Basically instead of a cursor you have a set of selections with start and end position (which could be the same position for a normal cursor), instead of having the object to delete as a parameter. For example, to delete two words it’s ‘d2w’ in vim, while it’s ’2wd’ in Kakoune. And after you type the ‘2w’, the selection shows what you’re about to delete, because it’s a separate command. It’s more useful when you’re operating on larger blocks of text, of course, or chain multiple commands together to create the selection you want. Sure, you can use visual mode in vim but it feels like an afterthought in a lot of ways.

I’ve already mentioned it but you can also have multiple selections at the same time, which I don’t think vim really does (I could be wrong though). This makes bulk operations really easy since they work exactly the same as operations on a single selection. For example, if you want to prepend let’s say “foo” to the next 10 lines, in Kakoune it would be ‘9CIfoo<esc>’ where C creates a selection one line under the current one, and I works the same as in vim. I believe you’d have to use macros for that in vim, something like ‘qqIfoo<esc>jq9@q’.

Those two are I think the main reasons I like Kakoune.

Doesn’t that disrupt muscle memory?

I haven’t really had problems with it, at least. Maybe because I’ve used vim for a long time before Kakoune. TBH I also don’t really use vim a lot anymore except on one remote machine that isn’t mine.

As you’ve touched upon it; Helix’ keybindings and ‘sentence-structures’ are different to those found on Vi(m).

Unless you really want vim bindings, try them out. At least Helix is based on the Kakoune editing model which is the editor I use, and I much prefer the way Kakoune works over vim, while still being close enough so that you can pick it up quickly if you already know vim and the other way around.

Seconding what others have already said. You should ABSOLUTELY NOT directly back up /var/lib/postgresql if that’s what you’re doing right now. Instead, use pg_dump: www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup-dump.html

This should also give you smaller and probably more compressible backup sizes.

If the app uses OpenGL in any way, you need to use nixGL: github.com/nix-community/nixGL

2xsaiko, 1 year ago

First thing I’d try is to use a “period-correct” nixpkgs commit for the libraries. It might even have the package already.

the answer for “what can unpack this archive” is pretty much always: bsdtar from libarchive

edit: sorry, I can’t read. libarchive unfortunately can’t write RAR archives.

KDE uses QT, a pretty open source friendly tool kit, but IIRC not actually open source itself.

Qt is absolutely open source. It’s dual licensed as either LGPL or some commercial license.

but that requires paying for a domain

You say that as if (normal) domains are expensive. You’re gonna be paying a lot more for electricity for your NAS than a domain. If you don’t need anything recognizable which you just want to use for yourself, you can even get a 1.111B class domain (000000.xyz - 999999999.xyz) which are just $1 per year. It’s a much better option than a dyndns service because you can actually do whatever you need to with the domain.

2xsaiko, 1 year ago

The 1.111B class domains? gen.xyz/register

2xsaiko, 1 year ago

No, that one is in the search as well. It’s a normal option. search.nixos.org/options?show=security.pam.servic…

What isn’t and also isn’t in the manual is the rules options. Those are all internal.

2xsaiko, 1 year ago

Arbitrary options are internal so are not shown in the options search. They’re at security.pam.services.<name>.rules.

Here’s the options that get added using the public options including fprintAuth: github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/…/pam.nix#L621

So on one hand, it’s a good thing that Apple is getting RCS this year, but it’ll likely remain either the at the basic Universal Profile level, or some proprietary Apple stuff thrown in, both of which aren’t really ideal.

No, I would say the first is the best option. It would create incentive for actually improving the Universal Profile. The “bad ending” would be Apple adopting Google’s proprietary extensions.
