What’s your reasoning for this?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

It does just work though, which is what other code editors need to get that kind of adoption, I’d love to be able to say I use vim or Emacs but get frustrated when I’m trying to get work done and things keep breaking, I finally feel I have everything configured and then realise I’m missing something else that took me 3.5 minutes to set up in VScode, half of that is due to the large community.

Zed works pretty well out of the box but is missing a lot of features that will make it a viable replacement for me. I am excited about Zed and the way it works, it’s super interesting and creative and id love to drive it daily someday, so much so that it’s the first project I’ve really considered contributing to myself.

I don’t like that VSCode is bloated, but I love that it takes five minutes to set up and contains nearly every feature I can think of.

Explain why

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I was skeptical at first, wondering why the hell I’d pay for search. I set up the trial of Kagi, and it’s fast like the pages load instantly, the result knockouts are almost always useful and the standard results are usually highly relevant and useful.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Second this, it’s fast and they have good privacy practices as far as I’m aware.

Arch ecause of the large amount of software available on the AUR.

I set it up with SwayFX, Alacritty Firefox & Sway Lock. Slap your favourite text editor on there and you’ve everything you need.

This kind of setup works best for me, a desktop environment with a tiling window manager on the top, that way I can use it like a normal desktop for most things and can hop back and forth between apps I use a lot all on the home row with the window manager.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

What does setting fstab do there?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Exactly this! I used to enjoy tinkering with my configuration a lot and then it got stressful as I kept finding new things to add or tweak and change and never ended up getting work done.

I love how simple sway is, even if I’ve added a few extra visual features with the fx version (at least it’s pretty to look at). The configuration is basically set your used apps to keybinds, choose how you want windows to look and be spaced, add a few key bindings.

Jeez, imagine.

It also resorted to masturbation for survival

Hehe, they’ll never know

What’s the current price roughly?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Not seen this low quality meme in years

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Guessing you’ve got some sort of raid setup going on. You could always get lower capacity SSDs and do some work on a revolutionary compression algo 😉

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Like Ninite for Windows but at the start not manually downloaded

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah I agree NeoVim being extensible is wonderful, and I believe Helix has the goal of adding a plugin system. It’s also super lightweight while including a lot of these core features we see repeated in nearly every NeoVim setup, the kind of thing like LSP & Tree Sitter which shows up so often it begs the question: Should this be built into the editor.

I am also terrified of relearning all the minds after years of vim use, although a lot of the base bindings are the same or similar. I guess if I could relearn the system keyboard shortcuts when I switched OS I can do the same here.

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah I’m guessing that’s Helix’s approach. Maybe the bind relearning is worth it or maybe it inspires NeoVim or other Vim-like editors to come with more of the consistently repeated stuff enabled by default.

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah I think since trying modal editors going back to GUI/Chorded Editors in a no go.

Honestly I can’t believe anyone uses a chorded editor? Am I just missing something or is it a lot of extra keys to press to achieve the same thing as a modal editor

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Weirdly I think Vim’s modal mindset is a much simpler grasp than the finger gymnastics presented by Emacs.

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Also see here for a video of the screenshot and a video of my configuration reload script.

Why thank you

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Honestly I never even considered configuring btop, thanks for the suggestion!

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I think I tagged it by accident

mac OP ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

That’s probably the best option for consistent colour scheming

mac OP ,

Thanks 😅

This was the thing that stopped me from hopping over in the first place, the vim binds just make too much sense

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

If it works for you. Go ahead

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

What does it carry over from your swim config? What are the benefits of using Nvidia inside of VSCode as opposed to just nvim?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Honestly I’m sure they are great but vim bindings are near ubiquitous amongst technologies now so it’s difficult to get everyone to move away from it.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Honestly it seems like you gain nothing but a slightly bloated electron wrapper around NeoVim.

All those features you listed either work out of the box or require minimal configuration in NeoVim.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Why? What’s wrong with your nano usage? Is it becoming a problem?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I checked my activity monitor earlier to see a ZSH session at like 40 hours or something.

@mac@infosec.pub avatar

The beauty of hibernation mode, I think it technically counts as the process still running!

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Lazy installation?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah I understand that but surely you have a list of hours you know you need almost every time?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Annoyingly there are still some good threads related to questions I’ve asked etc.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

It’s the exact same setup as code, if the extensions work in VSCode they work in Sodium except a select few Microsoft created.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Even copilot etc? I thought there was an issue with installing certain GitHub/Microsoft extensions.

I can’t speak for Flatpak as I haven’t tried it but nixpkgs are beautiful to work with and configuration of my system has become completely reproducible in a clean format.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah there are some issues with compatibility, I’ve found a couple of apps that error on my Mac.

How does it compare to Flatpak?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Something like Searx?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Ecosia is pretty sweet if you fancy helping the planet. It’s also privacy conscious as in does not sell or store any personally identifiable information. They also anonymize search data.

important to note that Ecosia does collect some non-personal information, such as search terms and click data, to improve search results and analyze usage patterns.

System configurations with Nix, I’ve got home-manager working on macOS now just to get nix-darwin and my Linux system up and running too.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

This is pretty clever actually

Why should I consider Qute over Firefox?
