https://vilkeliskis.com/ - rebooting as of recently to a self-hosted solution from under my desk.

Btw, https://nownownow.com/ is a great place to discover people. This project is somewhat similar to what you're doing.

I'm thinking about trying something similar to this on top of AWS SES. They make it fairly trivial to accept email and store it to S3. So email forwarding would be straight to S3 backup. But still would need a system to backup these emails to some local storage.

Not sure what's the best way to handle this, I had my gmail account since the early days and it's baked into so many important accounts. It definitely crosses my mind what it'd be really difficult if I were blocked out somehow.

Just start going through your accounts gradually over several years and you won't experience much friction.

i've been ~15 years in the tech industry, working as swe. I recently purchased 15 books on from proofs, calculus, linear algebra, real analysis combinatorics, diff equations to self-study math. Yes, you almost never need to use anything beyond basic math, but there's so many things to learn. And math is fun, I miss my university days.

I don't understand. I don't even know what exercism is.

You created a site that has 2 million users and don't know how to monetize? Just charge people $5 a month to use. It will solve all your problems.

you can easily run 8b yi coder on 4090 rtx. Probably could do on a smaller gpu (16GB). I have 24gb, and run it through ollama.

great. rtx 4090 works out of the box after installing drivers from non-free. That's on debian bookworm.

They ship it straight from lithuania. I got one recently myself. Made it Lithuania also.

Then use this device to make Kugelis.

I get 4-pack espresso from sams for $10 that lasts me a month. I stopped getting "lattes" and other fancy stuff long time ago.

It's been a while since I started using vim. I can see some similarities. Though, I didn't really do much configuration in the early days. Currently, I have pretty much no configs when it comes to key maps or some custom or shortcuts. I only add plugins for code completion and highlighting. Nothing else.

Honestly I'm the same, my .vimrc is mainly set commands for line numbers, highlighting matches, basic folding and setting backup/undo/swap directories.

I work as a JS Dev on a large(ish) React project with Vim, so I realised I did want modern facilities such as Coc.nvim and denite.nvim which are my two weaknesses. I tried using `set wildmenu` for a while but I found it difficult to use compared with my denite leader+r using rg.

Other than that I have four Tim Pope plugins (vinegar, fugitive, surround, and commentary). Fugitive I could live without as I rarely use it but I could not live without surround - I'd say it's my most useful plugin and doing the same in Vim was awkward.

The added benefit of this is portability, as in your weird shortcuts aren’t burnt into muscle memory, so you can easily use Vim on any computer.

Exactly! I like being able to log in to any server and use vim/vi without any issues.

I've noticed similar pattern with other tools, e.g. git. I've seen coworkers add all kinds off aliases to simplify git commands, and I'm very much against it since I prefer portability.

The portability aspect seems overstated, or perhaps your use cases are just different. I can already log in to any server with my custom configs; Ansible is what configures my user already, so I just have it dump out my configs. If I can access it, it has my configs.

Admittedly, it does get annoying when I'm sudo-ed to another user, but it's vanishingly rare for me that I am both sudo-ed to another user, and doing enough editing that I really want those configs. Usually a sudo-ed vi for me is just updating a couple lines in a config, I don't need a full config for that

Instead of `sudo vi`, you can use `sudo -e` (or its equivalent, `sudoedit`) to run the editor as your user.

How many times does one remote into a server and then spend significant amounts of time editing files? Usually I make small enough edits that I don’t miss my custom keymaps

I've been using arch for the past several years. Decided to get it installed after buying a new desktop. Overall it's good (and I've used it before), I have very simple setup and I don't really need much. Just dev tools.

The issue I'm having is (I think) hardware related. I'm a bit afraid to update systemd since by doing it several times before I got a kernel crash during install which left the system in an odd place. requiring me to boot up from usb to correct the installation. I can deal with it, but this is not something I particularly enjoy. I currently have almost 2GB of pending updates because of this, which I think defeats the purpose of rolling release distro.

I was actually thinking about trying out some other distros, maybe debian. With hopes that it will fix the kernel crashes. Another thought that I had, was to switch to FreeBSD, the only thing currently preventing me is the lack of Docker.

If you're risk aware of updates, you might want to try something like nixos where you can always rollback the entire state of the OS at boot time. So upgrades are basically creating a new snapshot with the upgrades, then reboot to check if everything is working. If everything is working, delete old snapshot. If things are not working, reboot to previous state. Makes the risks very small for even the most destructive upgrades.
