Really have been satisfied on moving to Fastmail for personal, kernel.org account etc. It scales the best from iPhone to mutt with no glitches.

Just learned how to update OVMF_VARS.fd offline before running QEMU:

 virt-fw-vars \
    --input "$OUTPUT/OVMF_VARS.fd" \
    --output "$OUTPUT/OVMF_VARS.fd" \
    --append-boot-filepath /EFI/debian/grubx64.efi

E.g., in Debian the package containing virt-fw-vars is python3-virt-firmware but it is also available from PIP: https://pypi.org/project/virt-firmware/

IMHO still the best "top". atop has especially come handy over the years in kernel debugging given the vast amounts of detailed proc data it shows: https://atoptool.nl/

Going to observe and learn Azure and Intune attestation at work next week :-) Got a tenant to play with. Also nice chance to use Wireshark, which I don't use that often.

@mpdesouza It is still definitely objective strength of Vim over how good or bad text editor it is: its command language has a track record of translating to a number of applications (text editors, file managers and even web sites). Helix as an ecosystem needs grow a bit ;-) Anyhow, I wish best for the project. It is actually innovative Rust based application project in my books ...

@mpdesouza I've been using Sublime Text on side of Vim for number of years (maybe something like eight'ish) for meetings and similar situations, and one obstacle was the lack of helix bindings. This lack of ubiquity among other software than helix itself was the main bottleneck really. Years will show if Helix becomes similar language of interaction (there's extension for VSCode already at least).

@mpdesouza I now remember what started to hit me: it started to be confusing that universal vim bindings work elsewhere (even in many sites), and it started to distract too much and was somehow just too confusing (i.e. to change the mindset)...

Renewed +3 years of Sublime Text and Merge.

I use 80% of time vim but if I really need GUI editor (e.g., for presenting in a meeting) I use Sublime Text (with a Vim emulation plugin). It has one single advantage over VSCode, Zed and many other modern GUI editor: OpenGL rasterizer AND a hand-crafted software rasterizer optimized for actually decent performance with zero glitches. It’s a life-saver, when the GPU driver does not work ;-)

For what it is worth, this is how a file creation can be backtracked:

$ git -P log --diff-filter=A --follow 1.24.0 -- src/plugins/intel/mm-plugin-intel.c
commit 40c791e293c9c58106a256ec0b251f28ebcd068a
Author: som <somashekhar.puttagangaiah@intel.com>
Date:   Sun Feb 6 23:19:57 2022 +0100

    intel: new plugin for PCI devices with vendor id 0x8086
    
    For now, just detecting the device and creating generic MBIM or AT
    based modems.

Given --follow, it also takes renames into account.

Reminder to myself ;-)
