To personalize your setup, is to deviate from the default config to better match your preferences - whatever those may be, however over the top those may be.

That doesn’t imply any optimization, unless it’s what you personally prefer.

I have yet to see a personalized setup with blurred window borders xD

Can’t people refer to it as their personalized setups? Or is that too hard to write?

It’s gotten to a point where I get “Sign-In to confirm you’re not a bot” on my residential ip(s).

Which I won’t, therefore no yt for me.

Luckily I’ve got better and more entertaining things to do.

You can already do so incredibly much by hooking up a few extra LSPs and keybinds (calling external scripts/programs)!

What I’m personally still missing though:

• Code Folding
• More refined subprocess handling, i.e. term-buffer switching or floating term (when excuting gitui via keybind for example)
• Emacs Org-Mode like context aware styling, for i.e. Bold or Italic text hints from LSP
  • Font changes (restricted through terminal)
  • Different Font/Line sizes for i.e. headings (restricted through terminal)
  • Inline images (sixel!)
• Dedicated optional client, a-la Neovide with cursor animations (helps orientation with jumps etc.), and to alleviate the previous terminal restrictions

I came to the conclusion that a fuzzy finder (SPC-f) + goto definition (g-d)/implementation (g-i) is better than a filetree in all my usecases…

I wanted to try to use this with yazi, to get the file picker without having to rely on zellij (or any other terminal multiplexer)…

I’m using rustic, a lock-free rust-written drop-in-replacement of restic, which (I’m referring to restic and therefore in extension to rustic) supports always-encrypted, deduplicating, compressed and easy backups without you needing to worry about whether to do a full- or incremental-backup.

All my machines run hourly backups of all mounted partitions to an append-only repo at borgbase. I have a file with ignore pattern globs to skip unwanted files and dirs (i.e.: **/.cache).

While I think borgbase is ok, ther’re just using hetzner storage boxes in the background, which are cheaper if you use them directly. I’m thinking of migrating my backups to a handfull of homelabs from trusted friends and family instead.

The backups have a randomized delay of 5m and typically take about 8-9s each (unless big new files need to be uploaded). They are triggered by persistent systemd-timers.

The backups have been running across my laptop, pc and server for about 6 months now and I’m at ~380 GiB storage usage total.

I’ve mounted backup snapshots on multiple occasions already to either get an old version of a file, or restore it entirely.

There is a tool called redu which is like ncdu but works on restic/rustic repos. This makes it easy to identify which files blow up your backup size.
