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.

> Yes, not every random app and feature you use on Xorg will have a Wayland equivalent. Deal with it.
This attitude right here is why I don't use desktop Linux anymore. I'm tired of caring about my system components, instead of just using them.
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.
> It can handle more than 500,000 orders per month
Hilarious because other languages are capable of that per minute not per month
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.
cntrl commented on Gambling and Adult content DNS blocking using Mullvad VPN mullvad.net/en/blog/2022/... · Posted by u/amirmasoudabdol
Someone else posted that this isn't a feature they would look for in a VPN, and I'd mostly agree except for one big problem: VPNs are the only way to effectively block things in iOS and (un-rooted) Android, and you can only have one VPN active at a time. This means that you have to choose between either having a proper VPN connected or a fake one to block content you don't like. Mullvad's ads, trackers and malware blocking DNS has been awesome when I'm on my iPhone and don't want to deal with ads in apps. I'm sure some other people who have dependence issues with gambling or adult content would appreciate being able to use their preferred VPN while also blocking content.
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.
RealLifeLore published a very well documented, and propaganda-free, video about why Russia is invading Ukraine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If61baWF4GE
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)
Are you implying it's not both an alternative and open-source? ;)
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
