For me it’s less effort because everything that I want just works out of the box. The totally of my configuration is under 10 lines. I don’t want to have to mess with nested config files each dozens to hundred of lines long most of which I will not understand just to code.

Also helix is different in that it uses the selection then action workflow. Vim is action then selection which is less nice for me.

In helix if I want to delete a function I would do: ESC -> space -> f -> d

Which means: Normal mode then lsp menu then next function then delete.

In vim I would have to delete then select what to delete which I don’t like.

To get to the point where I could feel like not an idiot maybe 3 hours of actual programming time.

To get to the point where I was a slow yet productive programmer it took maybe 12 hours of actual programming time.

To get faster than I was at Jetbrains IDEs that took like maybe ~24 hours of actual programming time.

I strongly recommend:

1. remapping caps lock to escape.
2. disabling the arrow keys in all modes.

After I did these two things, I got better faster. It’s frustrating but totally worth it. Now when I’m on my laptop I just use helix and qutebrowser under the sway desktop environment. It’s a 100% mouse free experience and it’s just faster and better in every way.

I know exactly how you feel. I did eventually end up finding an open source solution that worked for me though. After trying a few things I ended up on the helix text editor + the Rust LSP.

It took me a while to get to the point where I could code as fast as I could in Jetbrains IDEs but I got there and am now even faster than I used to be.

It was hard but very worth it.

At the cool network kids hate nat. 😤

I don’t think you have Stockholm syndrome. You just like what you already understand well. It’s a normal part of the human condition.

All those features of nat also work with IPV6 with no nat in the exact same way. When I want to open up a port I just make a new firewall rule. Plus you get the advantages of being able to address the ach host behind the firewall. It’s a huge win with no losses.

I think it’s worth taking the time to learn IPv6 property. If you have a good understanding of IPv4 it shouldn’t take you more than an afternoon.

Eliminating NAT and just using firewall rules (ie what NAT does behind your back) is incredibly freeing.

I don’t get people complaining about typing out IPs. I like to give all of my clients full FQDNs but you don’t have to. Just using mDNS would be enough to avoid typing a bunch of numbers.

You shouldn’t have to?? Maybe you might need to change the mask in your firewall settings if the ipv6 allocation block size changes but that should be it.

Everything else should just work as normal.

i am not commenting on the source. Just pointing out a strange pattern of behavior that I think should be noted. If look around on Lemmy you will see certain accounts that are weirdly into very specific sites.

If you look at the original posters account history you will see the same “very into a specific site” pattern.

People can look at your post history and judge for themselves.

1. The poster who submitted this has some sort of pro South China Morning Post (SCMP) agenda. So this post is likely some sort of attempt to normalize that newspaper.

2. I personally want Russia to lose their imperialist war and I want Trump to lose his election, but even with my biases this article is a huge stretch.

This is the most pretentious thing I have read in a long while. Imagine comparing the holocaust to a copy left software license that mega corps find less profitable.

To be fair the license is not meant to cause this and has never been enforced like this. The license was written for software tooling.

The ambiguity is a valid concern. Hopefully the next version addresses this a bit better. This being said mega corps will call anything they can’t abuse for profit “extreme”. So if they think it’s extreme that just means we are on the right track.

For the record. The SSPL that Redis switched to while technically not recognized by the OSI really isn’t bad at all.

It’s exactly like the AGPL except even more “powerful”. Under the SSPL if you host redis as a paid service you would have to open source the tooling you use to manage those hosted instances of redis.

I don’t see why anyone but hyper scalers would object. It’s a shame that the OSI didn’t adopt it.

If it’s a quote just use any news source that’s not a propaganda network. No need to use RT unless you have a 🤡 agenda. Ya know?

Are we really just posting RT articles like they’re news? 🤡
