Why does Pandoc get updated nearly every day?

I think it has to do with the way the Haskell packages are disturbed. So if you installed the pandoc from extra repository, and there was an update for any of the Haskell packages that pandoc depended on, then pandoc will have to be updated again. Meaning, instead of pandoc forcing Haskell updates, it is the other way around.

If you only use pandoc and don't normally program in Haskell, check out pandoc-bin. This way you will only get updates for pandoc itself and its dependencies won't force an update.

Saturday APPreciation thread (Jul 1 2023) - Your weekly app recommendation/request thread!

If you are trying to switch from Chrome, then just use regular Firefox with the ublock extension (and maybe some of the other privacy extension officially supported). If you are a "power user" and want modify/access about:config and other settings then you need Firefox Nightly. The Fennec and Fenix (iirc) are just stripped down Firefox that either only have private mode or additional settings for privacy (that are already present in regular version, but way not be enabled by default). Hope that helps.

The notice on packer suggested to use either lazy or pckr

NOTICE:

This repository is currently unmaintained. For the time being (as of August, 2023), it is recommended to use one of the following plugin managers instead:

lazy.nvim: Most stable and maintained plugin manager for Nvim.

pckr.nvim: Spiritual successor of packer.nvim. Functional but not as stable as lazy.nvim.

Making telescope.nvim find_files show hidden files by default - Following ThePrimeagen's guide

If you have fd installed, telescope uses it's settings including ignore files (including .ignore and .gitignore etc). So if have the default settings for fd to show hidden files, telescope will respect that.

Otherwise, if you want to have hidden files only in telescope without changing the default behavior of fd , when using your key binding, change it as follows:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ff",  function() builtin.find_files({hidden=true}) end, {})

Edit: Change to keybind format Edit2: Wrap builtin in function call

It's LSP portable?

LSP maybe portable with it's config if the LSP themselves are independent. Checkout Mason which seems to make it easier to bundle neovim and "portable" LSP. There was another project similar to Mason with some more features, but I forgot it's name. So search around to see if that fits your requirements.

Making telescope.nvim find_files show hidden files by default - Following ThePrimeagen's guide

Reply in thread

Sorry, I missed the previous message. Glad you got it working with the help of @[email protected].

Regarding the massive list, yeah that is expected. If you haven't got fd or rg installed in you system, telescope falls back to regular find. Find doesn't have any sort of builtin ignore list, so it just lists all the files. If you are using the builtin.find_files normally, I think it executes (at least something close to)

find -not -path "*/.*" -type f

With the hidden=true, it does something along the lines of

find . -type f

Both of these commands are executed from the cwd (normally the directory you started nvim in). If you want it only show to a certain depth, you can use the telescope's setup to change the default find_command

telescope.setup({
  pickers = {
    find_files = {
      find_command = { "find", "-maxdepth", "3", ".", "-type", "f"},
    },
  },
}

Modify that to your requirement and then use the keymap to call builtin.find_files() and it should work.

Pulseaudio start sink on startup/login

Reply in thread

Initially, I used HDMI -> Soundbar -> Monitor. The soundbar handles the sound and forwards the video signal to the monitor. Right now, it's the same, except it is using display port for Laptop to Soundbar connection. Hope I understood the question correctly. If you ever figure out the delay, please do update with a solution.

Pulseaudio start sink on startup/login

Reply in thread

I guess that's one way to fix it. Thanks for letting me know.

However, I think I will keep searching for a different fix. Playing a sound constantly will keep on nagging me, even though it shouldn't. Also I am worried about what will happen when an application like mpv wants full access to the device, but there is an ongoing stream there.

On a side note, since this came up and I have been paying attention, I noticed that some of the system notification sound that I keep missing are caused due to this delay :(

On the plus side, since I almost constantly listen to some music at low volume, I might actually be doing your fix in a round about manual way. This was how I noticed that system notification played fine, if music was already playing, but not otherwise.

Display freezes leaving only the mouse movement

I used to get these random freezes where mouse movements are still possible, but everything else seems to freeze. Haven't got any recently and it occured very rarely.

However, if I switch to another tty, using ctr + alt + f key and then switch back to the original tty, it seems to fix itself. It might not be related, but worth trying it out.

How to save comment sorting and hide read post?

Reply in thread

The general setting sort option only seem to effect the post sorting method and not the comment. Am I missing something?

For the "show read post", I am unchecking. But whenever I try to save, it throws an exception and nothing gets changed. I will try to set it from the web to see if that can work.

Pulseaudio start sink on startup/login

I have noticed this too on pipewire. Everytime a new audio stream starts , even from a paused state, there is a small delay before it is heard. Not a syncing problem as the audio is synced, but a delayed start. I thought it might have something do with the sound bar I had routed the audio through. Based on your experience, seems not. I did experience the same delay when using HDMI port instead of DisplayPort too (IIRC). So it might be something else not related to port.

How to debug command failure? (gc for comment with mini.comment plugin)

Reply in thread

Like I said, I haven't used mini.comment, but having both gc and gcc mapping may cause problems. If I remember correctly, in these situations, neovim waits after receiving gc command to figure out if you are trying to execute comment last or gcc with comment line. Depending on timelen (or timeout, forgot the exact name) setting the command you actually execute will defer based on the key pressed/not pressed after gc.

Also, if gc is mapped to comment last, and there was no last comment action performed, it might do nothing (maybe check the readme to be sure). So maybe try changing the mapping to see if that helps.

The Zuck suck is in full swing.

There is also this official extension. IIRC, this also makes sure that all the meta owned sites are not able to interact with other sites, but can work fine with each other. It also makes sure that any links leading to their sites also only open in the container, maybe also sanitized to remove the tracker from original link. The last part I am not sure, as I might be confusing it with a different extension. But if you are using any of the Meta sites, I would recommend it.
