    You can already do so incredibly much by hooking up a few extra LSPs and keybinds (calling external scripts/programs)!

    What I’m personally still missing though:

    • Code Folding
    • More refined subprocess handling, i.e. term-buffer switching or floating term (when excuting gitui via keybind for example)
    • Emacs Org-Mode like context aware styling, for i.e. Bold or Italic text hints from LSP
      • Font changes (restricted through terminal)
      • Different Font/Line sizes for i.e. headings (restricted through terminal)
      • Inline images (sixel!)
    • Dedicated optional client, a-la Neovide with cursor animations (helps orientation with jumps etc.), and to alleviate the previous terminal restrictions

    Dear Discord Privacy Team!

    I’m writing to you to inform you that your platform (mobile, desktop, browser) can enforce the user to verify their account with a phone number, after the user has changed their E-Mail adress. This is a serios privacy problem! I’d like you to verify that you don’t intend on providing other (more privacy friendly) means of account verification apart from providing the phone number. I suddenly cannot use my Discord account due to this and I object to providing a phone number.

    Kind regards, ~sntx

    I’m using rustic, a lock-free rust-written drop-in-replacement of restic, which (I’m referring to restic and therefore in extension to rustic) supports always-encrypted, deduplicating, compressed and easy backups without you needing to worry about whether to do a full- or incremental-backup.

    All my machines run hourly backups of all mounted partitions to an append-only repo at borgbase. I have a file with ignore pattern globs to skip unwanted files and dirs (i.e.: **/.cache).

    While I think borgbase is ok, ther’re just using hetzner storage boxes in the background, which are cheaper if you use them directly. I’m thinking of migrating my backups to a handfull of homelabs from trusted friends and family instead.

    The backups have a randomized delay of 5m and typically take about 8-9s each (unless big new files need to be uploaded). They are triggered by persistent systemd-timers.

    The backups have been running across my laptop, pc and server for about 6 months now and I’m at ~380 GiB storage usage total.

    I’ve mounted backup snapshots on multiple occasions already to either get an old version of a file, or restore it entirely.

    There is a tool called redu which is like ncdu but works on restic/rustic repos. This makes it easy to identify which files blow up your backup size.

    If you connect to the network and open firefox, it will display a toast to open the corresponding captive portals page. You can then login through that. Given that your VPN isn’t blocking unencrypted connections etc.

    Extrapolation of partial knowledge warning

    I assume the network advertises a captive portals url and identifies you based on your MAC address.

    The config is server-side (router).
