It’s wild that one of the problems is that the kernel doesn’t use floating point numbers.

In my opinion yes, Debian is the best choice for server machines, especially on the homelab scale.

How does this even work? I get the redirection part, but how is the command executed in a detached state?

I do run vim on the GPU, through a GPU-rendered terminal emulator like kitty. And yes, it scrolls noticeably smoother than on other terminals.

To be fair, nowadays the Linux kernel does rely quite a bit on resources from major software (and hardware) companies.

All offices within the EU administration will be supplied with the officially modified flavors of eumacs and neuvim.

That was so eye-opening for me when I figured out you can just grep a block device for files unlinked by the file system but not yet physically overwritten. Magically reanimating lost files can be such an incredibly simple operation.

Even still I find this a bit shortsighted. You never know if in the future there might be more than 4 billion bus lines and you run out of numbers.

Default Plasma is just good.

Borgbackup solves this problem very well. It’s what I use to make encrypted remote backups of my Nextcloud.

I prefered the previous chart.

I’m all for having the ability to do these shenanigans in principle, but prefer if they are guarded in an unsafe block.

Remember that in 2023 RedHat restricted access to the source code of RHEL packages, which had a big impact to lots of server distros. This article explains really well why that’s problematic:
