  • LazyVim: The Neovim Distro I Wish I'd Started With

    Jump

  • Neovim still feels pretty obscure to new users, which is a shame considering how powerful it is. That’s part of why distros got so popular, and also because we’ve gotten used to plug-and-play setups.

    The downside is that, while they’re efficient and usually good enough, they don’t really teach you how Neovim works. So when something breaks or you want to do something specific, you can get stuck. The community also has tons of great plugins, and even if some look similar, they’re built for different needs. With distros, you might not get the one that fits you best.

    Setting up Neovim from scratch takes effort, but in the end, you get something perfectly tailored to your needs. Nonetheless if you can be guided by an experienced user, you can get on track within only two hours. That said, a lot of people are fine with basic features and just adapt to their tools. Personally, I like that Linux adapts to me instead.

  • I can see how this can fail but you can only fail if you try so I'll be optimistic for once and give it a try. At least I'll create an account in the hope to not stay alone for too long. I'd love to feel the old forum vibes again. A place where people have real engaging discussions and where we help each others while learning from these interactions is all I hope for. Other options to date don't entirely fill the bill for me. A come back from the etiquette would be wonderful as well.

    You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one 🎶. Or am I?

  • Why do you use the terminal?

    Jump

  • Alot has been built around notmuch so its integration is better. On a daily use, I've never noticed any issues or latency with notmuch in neomutt though. I was considering Alot as well when looking for a terminal email client but my understanding was that it doesn't allow for IMAP folders creation within the app. You have to use mbsync and that would slightly friction with my work email workflow. Please let me know if this has changed or if I've misinterpreted things. Also, while the neomutt documentation can be quite intimidating, I felt the Alot one to be too limited.

    For calendar invites I use mutt-ics to display them nicely and a keybinding associated to a simple khal to seamlessly add them to my calendar. For contacts I use abook.

    After years in Neomutt I'm still open to other tools though. Why would you recommend that Alot over Neomutt?

  • Sitting here waiting for my first Bambu A1 print...

    Jump

  • 3D printing is one of those rabbit holes where you never stop learning, and that usually means upgrading or switching machines at some point :) People buy what makes sense for their needs, their values, and their budget. It’s definitely night and day between an old Ender 3 and newer printers from any brand. I want to make it clear again before someone doesn't read the entire post and turns it into a sterile debate: I’m not saying one brand is better than another, but I think it’s fair to push back on misconceptions ("people saying if you just want plug n play - go Bambu") - especially when influencers are paid to promote products. Feature-wise and setup-wise, comparable models from both manufacturers are extremely close.

    I'm genuinely glad you've found your new toy :) Have a lot of fun with it ! Make sure to follow some very good advice posted by others in here Re: upgrades and filaments.

  • Sitting here waiting for my first Bambu A1 print...

    Jump

  • Not trying to start another flame war, but I was just talking with someone who runs a small print farm and had a similar misconception about Creality setup. Contrary to what people often think, Creality printers are plug-and-play these days too. Nothing against Bambu (at least on that front ^^), but they’re way more pushed by influencers, which makes it seem like Creality hasn’t evolved. Honestly, both are very close in terms of hardware, performance, and ease of use.

    Enjoy your new printer!

  • Sorry, I will not talk about browsers in your list because I've tried them and my personal preference goes to chawan for these reasons:

    • has CSS layout support
    • has HTML5 support with various encodings
    • can display Inline images in terminals that support Sixel or Kitty protocols (opt-in feature)
    • offers basic JavaScript support via QuickJS (opt-in)
    • supports HTTP(S), SFTP, FTP, Gopher, Gemini...
    • has built-in viewers for Markdown, man pages, and directory listings
    • has Incremental loading
    • uses multi-processing, so several buffers can be loaded at once
    • offer mouse support, bookmarks, and protocol handling extensible by users

    If you want to check another option, there's also brow.sh.

    Hope this helps in your web terminal journey :)

  • Bookmark vault/archive links tool that is outside the browser

    Jump

  • There's actually dedicated tools for this specific need like bmm and buku. Browser-agnostic bookmark managers are very nice for different purposes like multi browsers use. The idea is not to use browsers offline but to manage bookmarks outside of the browser as mentioned by OP.

    Comparing to other tools they have the advantage to be dedicated to bookmark management, meaning they offer all features inherent to such task.

  • Yeah, there's always a trend (like syncing everything and storing everything in a cloud), but fortunately there's also always less known alternatives for the "weird" people :D

  • Bmm may be a viable option: https://github.com/dhth/bmmI'm just not sure it can handle folders, but you could use tags as folder names to replicate this behavior ;)

  • Creality Helper Script is a must have. My K1C has run it through the very first second. Getting as much open source (for a reasonable budget) and control on my marines is the main decision factor for my purchases.

  • Persistent Arglist with Native Neovim Sessions: Replacing Harpoon in 60 Lines

  • In case it can save you few more lines, here is what I use to automatically save the cursor position when a buffer is closed: 

     vim.cmd [[ augroup save_cursor_position
        
autocmd!
autocmd BufReadPost * call setpos(".", getpos("'\""))
augroup END
]]
