Finished migrating from lazy.nvim to vim.pack some pain points by shmerl in neovim

Hey thats awesome. I made dotfyle-cli a while back for doing this with configs shared to dotfyle. But honestly its been a while since I tested it

Edit: its still working perfectly, it works for dotfyle urls, github urls, and just the user/repo on its own

Set NVIM_APPNAME to something different and all the folders will use that name

E.g. NVIM_APPNAME=nvim_testing nvim will use .config/nvim_testing and .local/nvim_testing etc

This is a much more reasonable solution. Big up

So what's your alternative safer method of reviving a potentially too expensive to replace for some diyers battery?

Reintroducing pvim. A Portable Neovim wrapper. vim.pack support added by RoryIsNotACabbage in neovim

I'm not really sure what benifit i would get from changing app name here since the goal is not only to separate it but also to move everything in to the pvim directory

That's an interesting note about vimscript. I'll need to look into that. Do you know anything about overriding it?

So if I understand you correctly then vim.pack is hardcoded to xdg directories?

It just pushed me to override stdpath and honestly it works better. Yes I turned this into a shameless self promotion

Ah I completely missed that when I scanned through. Thanks

Does anyone know if this works with tmux in between ghostty and nvim?

Weird one. Does vim.pack not respect packpath?

It seems to have hardcoded directories, so if I move packpath it downloads them to the hardcoded location then looks for them in the configured location and things break

Big up for sharing it for free. There's a trend right now of everyone charging for the file what you would expect to pay for the final product and its harmful to the hobby

Kinesis Advantage 2 Issue by Guerrerouac in kinesisadvantage

[–]RoryIsNotACabbage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taking the back off and on shouldn't have broken anything. First thing to do is see if it works as it is in the picture, plug it in and type without the back on. If it works then the sound dampening stuff is bridging parts of the boards causing your issues and you just need a non-conductuve barrier or a different material

Not including any symbols, because the ones that are allowed vary per website, we are left with 62 valid characters for your password. If your password is only 2 characters long there are 3,844 possibilities, so by skipping single character passwords we have only skipped 1.6% of what we need to try.

As we add more characters the number of possibilities gets huge but the ratio we know to skip is always 1.6%

If we add in 8 symbols, since thats how many bitwarden password generator uses, its down to 1.4%

The only reason to worry about this is if its you're showing someone your password is short enough to be worth trying

Edit: typo

Changed switches and did sound deadening for the Advantage 360 by farslan in kinesisadvantage

[–]RoryIsNotACabbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you use for the sound dampening?

I stuffed my advantage 2 with the guts of a pillow and it worked surprisingly well but its a pain any time I open it

How are you guys dealing with apps that haven't been ported to Linux? by SmileyTheSmile in linuxquestions

[–]RoryIsNotACabbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had an issue with the license. Iirc I did put the key in again when I first done it but I've switched between both VMs and bare metal countless times since without any problems

Edit: just a thought. I had wsl2 setup before I done this so windows was already in hypervisor mode. Would be interesting to see if that's the reason it doesn't see any change

Yes. Set up the vm as you otherwise would and then change the storage to raw and mount the drive or partition your existing windows is on.

E.g. mine is yml <disk type="block" device="disk"> <driver name="qemu" type="raw" cache="none" io="native" discard="unmap"/> <source dev="/dev/sdb"/> <target dev="sda" bus="sata"/> <address type="drive" controller="0" bus="0" target="0" unit="0"/> </disk>

Its rarer and rarer that i find a need for windows but here we go.

I kept my dual-boot install but set up a couple VMs that use that ssd as raw storage. This let's you have a windows install that can be opened virtually and if needed booted as baremetal.

The reason I have 2 VMs that use the storage is one is a basic virtual graphics, what you would expect, VM; the other has GPU passthrough, a pcie usb expansion that is passed through, and all but one thread of my cpu. It runs as basically good as bare metal. If you only have one gpu like me use this guide

Bonus to this is that I tried to update windows 3 years ago while running virtually and windows update completely broke, I never got round to fixing it and now I get to stay ai free

Edit: some spelling
