It was pretty great, wasn't it?

Although I must say. I eventually landed on neovim. Steep, steep learning curve, but now I would not switch back again.

I gave it serious consideration when the death of Atom was announced and I was unsure where to move on to.

Looks like in the meantime a lot has been done (as far as I remember, TreeSitter and LSP weren't built in back then...? Not sure though), but the lack of a plugin system is still killing it for me.

TBH it looks like it has 75% of the features you want from a codeditor, which is much more than the use-case for Nano, but no way to go the remaining 25% of the way.

 

Basically, the title. After years of inactivty, I'll be taking music (cello) lessons again, with my teacher of yesteryear, from whom I've moved half a country away.

She has suggested Zoom but is open to alternatives. I don't particularly like Zoom, plus I have a feeling better quality can be had through a custom solution - but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what exactly would be a good fit for this project.

Maybe Jitsi? Does someone here have experience with it and could tell me if it's possible to set something like a "target" audio quality?

For hardware, I basically have two options. Both are already in use, for different things, and have sufficient processing capabilities - albeit no GPU:

  • host everything at home. Plus: lowest possible latency from me to the server. Not sure how much that is worth though.
  • root server in the Hetzner cloud: much faster network speed. Again though, not sure how beneficial that is, the ultimate bottleneck will always be my upload speed (40Mbit)

OK, I realize that this post is a but of a random assortment of thoughts. I'd be really happy about suggestions and / or hearing about other's experiences with similar use-cases!

No science, no meme, only the flimsiest strawman I've ever seen and pure bigotry.

Edit: from a brand new account. How courageous, lmfao

👀 (to both of those statements)

Yeah, getting LSP + Linter + Formatter for basically any language set up is very straightforward with NvChad.

Debuggers/testing framework can be a little more work, but if that's not required for you, all the better :D

I bet there's also plugins available that help with integrating Unity and nvim (I know there are for Godot).

Good luck, and have fun with this rabbithole 😄

I had multiple failed starts with (n)vim, always getting frustrated way before I had a usable setup, until I just used NvChad. It's basically a preconfigured version, with all the plugins, keybinds,... you could probably want.

It gave me something usable right out of the box. I continued tinkering with it for almost two years before moving on to my completely custom configuration.

IMO the people that say you should start with bare (n)vim in order to learn everything from the ground up are delusional. There's no reason you can't learn all that stuff after you've actually experienced how nice the entire thing can be.

NixOS on my Laptop, Desktop, Gaming Machine, and around 10 servers.

Still have two servers on Arch, waiting to be migrated, and I'm really itching to but NixOS on the Steam Deck as well.

Oh, absolutely. In case it wasn't clear, I'm against chatcontrol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (3 children)

They don't actually have to enforce that though. Rather, it's a neat trick: if you do use encrypted chats, well, you're purposefully doing something illegal! To hide information, no less! That surely means you have more to hide, and since you've already broken a law, let's investigate further!

To be clear: I'm not saying this is the intended effect. But it is a frighteningly possible one. Anyone who has reason to hide their communication (regime critical activists, opposition politicians, investigative journalists,...) either have to

  • accept that their communication will be scanned, making it trivial to spy on them and use that information (legally, no less!) to hinder/stop them, or
  • do something illegal, giving pretext for hindering/stopping them since they've now committed a crime

Didn't know about this, but sounds like a good cause.

Is there any legal risk involved with this? Is it recommended to run behind a VPN?
