    Interesting comparision with NeoVim, given that it was basically created to provide a better default (config) experience than classic vim. We might be close to PostNeoVim (or is he…

    Has anybody experience with using this with strong dialects, like e.g. bavarian-family (German) based ones? Or other languages one too, as I'd figure basic behavior and approaches …

    It's because all the frequent comment that this pelican is in the trainings set now also got into the trainings set and models adapt. /joking (I hope)

    Interesting to read. I actually did not really looked into the rest of Italy's fibre build out state, but FWIW here in South Tyrol - basically the other end of the country - there'…

    Sure, but Qualcomm upstreaming their support to mainline would also have broad benefits for them and be a win-win. Their C-suits & bean counters are seemingly just not getting that…

    FWWI, we did evaluate and benchmark microVMs back in 2020. Back then it was not really seen worth it the maintenance cost compared to what it brought to the table, but it makes sen…

    Sure, if you're fine with double standards, every issue from Windows is a non-issue, even something simple as using a local account-or being forced to view ads even after paying (!…

    I cannot even install a Windows system with a local account anymore without having to open the terminal and enter some obscure commands. A modern Debian or Fedora with KDE is a bre…

    At work, we do what I wrote frequently, and it works very well and adaptions are rather the outlier than the norm, especially as we focus on backporting only important bug fixes an…

    In that case one can just branch off a stable-x.y branch from the respective X.Y release tag as needed. It really depends on the whole development workflow, but in my experience it…

    PVE itself is still made of a lot of perl, but nowadays, we actually do almost everything new in rust. We already support CPUsets and pinning for Container VMs, but definitively ca…

    It makes no sense to add an extra layer, and we definitively do not want to make us and our users dependent of docker project. There exist many OCI runtimes, and our container tool…

    Correction: In Proxmox VE we're not using virsh/libvirt at all, rather we have our own stack for driving QEMU on a low-level, our in-depth integration, especially with live local s…

    For that purpose Sweet Home 3D might be easier to use, especially if one has not that much CAD experience. https://www.sweethome3d.com/
