Helix is “it just works” but it actually does, without having to get lost in the (config) sauce.

It’ll be unstoppable once they finalize and ship the plugin system.

Edit: and I haven’t even mentioned the descriptions above commands, the command palette-like functionality in <Space-?>, nor the tutor yet. It’s just so much more beginner-friendly.

The Unix principle of piping between two or even multiple programs, together with “all data should be in the simplest common format possible” (that is, largely unformatted strings), was a really clever invention to be popularized. As proven by the fact it is still so useful decades later on a myriad of computers unimaginably more powerful than what they had back then.

It’s not perfect by any means (alternative title: why something like Nushell exists), but it’s pretty good all things considered I dare say.

• Traffic

• Phone (CarPlay/Android Auto (yes I know Tesla doesn’t have them, a garbage decision you’ll have to live with if you bought one))

• Remote (app) features

• Don’t care/want/need, plus security risk. If you really can’t do without, use WiFi when at home, and no-idea-what for when on the go.

• Music

• See point 1, also “dumb” media devices via Bluetooth/USB should be possible.

Yeah I realize that. My go-to comparison would be PDF. Where Firefox has PDF.js (I think?), Chromium just… implements basically seemingly the entire (exhaustive!) standard.

Thanks for these explanations, that makes a lot more sense now. I didn’t even think to consider browsers might be using something else than an off-the-shelf implementation for image/other file formats…, lol

Honest question, since I have no clue about web/browser engines other than being able to maybe name 4-5 of them (Ladybird, Servo, Webkit, Gecko, … shit, what was Chromium’s called again?):

What makes browsers/browser engines so difficult that they need millions upon millions of LOC?

Naively thinking, it’s “just” XML + CSS + JS, right? (Edit: and then the networking stack/hyperlinks)

So what am I missing? (Since I’m obviously either forgetting something and/or underestimating how difficult engines for the aforementioned three are to build…)

Damn. Thanks for the link!

Reminder. :P

Thanks! I’ve only known the on-device installable Adguard apps until now (which obviously won’t work for something like roommate’s Apple TV, for example), so this is new stuff to me. Interesting!

Does Adguard work on “smart devices” like a TV?

Why does it compare against $1 for the string match? Wouldn’t kudasai be at the end of something like $*?

No kitty graphics protocol? 🤨😔

At this point, TOML is my favorite since it basically amounts to an attempt at standardizing the .ini/.conf style of config “language”/files. It’s still simple enough, but pretty powerful, and was seemingly good for the Rust and Python projects to be convinced to choose it as a default…

Server (Linux) and personal machine (non-Linux Macbook) with the same general shell config (aliases etc.), but different applications/CLI tools installed.

No idea how it compares against the Nix paradigms, but I like the ease of use in setting up a new machine. It’ll copy all files to their intended destinations and will be able to fill in credentials from templates using e.g. rbw (third-party Bitwarden, i.e. password manager, CLI tool), meaning, once all fields have been templated, you can make it public without even worrying about leaking a personal email address (I use different ones for git vs. other accounts vs. even other stuff).

Yeah, and then you start to configure any edge case, and then you’re basically already at the point where chezmoi would be useful. Lol, I’ve been there

Chezmoi my beloved

Oooh. That makes more sense, thank you.

I somehow thought you’d meant your global IP addresses, lol

Do the private IPs not change at all? Or can you handle that automatically?

I have next to no experience, but I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t work for me since my IP changes? Idk

Could you elaborate a little on the LXC, please?

I was thinking about looking into Paperless after seeing it gleefully mentioned so much in this post, but lack of easy/accessible backups seems strange for something you wanna use to eventually destroy your only other copy of it (the physical letter).

If you don’t mind me asking, how/on which criteria does auto-sort and -categorization work? Scanning file name and contents? But then you’d have to pre-define some sort of keywords, no?
