There is a #neovim 0.11.6 maintenance release to lift up your mood during this time of the year. It mostly focuses on small fixes, but it is an honest work.

Je viens d’inventer une astuce #vim / #neovim pour les utilisateurs #ergol :
" Remap ctrl-a and ctrl-x to increment/decrement numbers in normal mode
noremap ± <C-a>
noremap ÷ <C-x>
De cette manière, vous incrémentez/décrémentez les chiffres avec maj+altgr+ + et maj+altgr + / (juste à côté, le maj+ - est une lettre morte malheureusement)
Pour celleux qui, comme moi, détestent la touche Ctrl et veulenl la bannir !

Besides, I am back with #Neovim and so I am suffering again from the world of multiple incompatible RE dialects. Grrr! Why, oh, why?
Thank you for using #neovim in 2025. All in all, it was an eventful year. Don't go anywhere, many cool things are planned for 2026!
There's nothing "mini" about mini.nvim.
@bbatsovBozhidar Batsov (a.k.a. Bug) I think it's a non-mini collection of mini modules? I've only recently switched from vim to #neovim, and I enabled two of its modules (https://github.com/maxjacobson/dotfiles/blob/main/config/nvim/lua/plugins/mini.nvim.lua) which feels mini enough (for me 🙂 )

On day 16 we have another pic from the tool stack I use in my home lab: Restic the free and open source backup solution. I use it to create incremental backup and store them in my self-hosted minIO instances. It's again one of those tool that just does its job without getting in your way.

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.
