I share your views on company policies. After the Ender S1, I went with the Ender K1C and can honestly recommend it.

Glad you found something interesting :)

I've seen your tool box. I've shared some that may be good additions to your shop ;)

Waiting for you to join ;)

I can see how this can fail but you can only fail if you try so I'll be optimistic for once and give it a try. At least I'll create an account in the hope to not stay alone for too long. I'd love to feel the old forum vibes again. A place where people have real engaging discussions and where we help each others while learning from these interactions is all I hope for. Other options to date don't entirely fill the bill for me. A come back from the etiquette would be wonderful as well.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one 🎶. Or am I?

Alot has been built around notmuch so its integration is better. On a daily use, I've never noticed any issues or latency with notmuch in neomutt though. I was considering Alot as well when looking for a terminal email client but my understanding was that it doesn't allow for IMAP folders creation within the app. You have to use mbsync and that would slightly friction with my work email workflow. Please let me know if this has changed or if I've misinterpreted things. Also, while the neomutt documentation can be quite intimidating, I felt the Alot one to be too limited.

For calendar invites I use mutt-ics to display them nicely and a keybinding associated to a simple khal to seamlessly add them to my calendar. For contacts I use abook.

After years in Neomutt I'm still open to other tools though. Why would you recommend that Alot over Neomutt?

3D printing is one of those rabbit holes where you never stop learning, and that usually means upgrading or switching machines at some point :) People buy what makes sense for their needs, their values, and their budget. It’s definitely night and day between an old Ender 3 and newer printers from any brand. I want to make it clear again before someone doesn't read the entire post and turns it into a sterile debate: I’m not saying one brand is better than another, but I think it’s fair to push back on misconceptions ("people saying if you just want plug n play - go Bambu") - especially when influencers are paid to promote products. Feature-wise and setup-wise, comparable models from both manufacturers are extremely close.

I'm genuinely glad you've found your new toy :) Have a lot of fun with it ! Make sure to follow some very good advice posted by others in here Re: upgrades and filaments.

Not trying to start another flame war, but I was just talking with someone who runs a small print farm and had a similar misconception about Creality setup. Contrary to what people often think, Creality printers are plug-and-play these days too. Nothing against Bambu (at least on that front ^^), but they’re way more pushed by influencers, which makes it seem like Creality hasn’t evolved. Honestly, both are very close in terms of hardware, performance, and ease of use.

Enjoy your new printer!

Sorry, I will not talk about browsers in your list because I've tried them and my personal preference goes to chawan for these reasons:

• has CSS layout support
• has HTML5 support with various encodings
• can display Inline images in terminals that support Sixel or Kitty protocols (opt-in feature)
• offers basic JavaScript support via QuickJS (opt-in)
• supports HTTP(S), SFTP, FTP, Gopher, Gemini...
• has built-in viewers for Markdown, man pages, and directory listings
• has Incremental loading
• uses multi-processing, so several buffers can be loaded at once
• offer mouse support, bookmarks, and protocol handling extensible by users

If you want to check another option, there's also brow.sh.

Hope this helps in your web terminal journey :)

Bmm may be a viable option: https://github.com/dhth/bmm
I'm just not sure it can handle folders, but you could use tags as folder names to replicate this behavior ;)

Creality Helper Script is a must have. My K1C has run it through the very first second. Getting as much open source (for a reasonable budget) and control on my marines is the main decision factor for my purchases.

In case it can save you few more lines, here is what I use to automatically save the cursor position when a buffer is closed:

 vim.cmd [[ augroup save_cursor_position

    
autocmd!
autocmd BufReadPost * call setpos(".", getpos("'\""))
augroup END
]]

Ok. I didn't find anything specific for Kobra 3 v2 (though I didn't spend more than 5 minutes ^^), but I came across this profile for Kobra 3. Maybe you'll get lucky with it... https://www.printables.com/model/982339-anycubic-kobra-3-orca-profile-v2-tested-verified-w

With the number of (custom) printers supported by Orca you picked my interest :) What's your printer?

Drawing the line between each category indeed takes some time. Our brain is not use to this approach anymore. Perseverance is key, but it's kind of a commitment.

Your organization will vary with your usage. If you're looking for something suitable for work, I would highly recommend the PARA approach. https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/

I've tweaked it to my needs. Combined with fzf, it makes my workflow so smooth and efficient. https://www-gem.codeberg.page/sys_stay_organized/

It didn't scare me more than "Zathura" ^^ Hope it will eventually get the love it deserves.

Thanks! I think Sioyek is really overlooked.

Unless you have already made a decision and feel strong about Zathura, I'd like to mention Sioyek. It’s definitely an underrated pick for terminal PDF readers. It works just as well as Zathura, and can even go wayyyy beyond it.

I've carefully reviewed your post, and I may have overlooked the reasons why some believe you're using Wayland, especially since you're currently using i3. Anyway, I'll talk about X11 ans Wayland options.

i3 is indeed capable of launching programs via keybindings and supports full mouse functionality. However, it does require significant configuration. To be frank, all tiling WMs necessitate customization. Additionally, many tiling WMs benefit from the installation of a separate tool to serve as a panel bar. Tiling WMs share the concept of shipping with a functional minimal configuration, allowing users to tailor their setup precisely to their preferences.

Here are - to my humble personal opinion - the "easiest" tiling WMs for X11:

• i3: you know it
• awesomewm: comes with a panel, menu, and widgets out of the box.
• bspwm: very lightweight and minimalist. Unlike others, it will require the use of sxhkd to define keybindings. The config is shell-script based, which may feel easier to some compared to lua. This was my preferred option before moving to Wayland and having tried awesomewm, i3, and dwm for years.

And for Wayland:

• sway: drop-in replacement for i3. It uses the same keybindings/config style as i3.
• niri: this one technically uses a “scrollable tiling” model (windows arranged in columns on an infinite strip) rather than the traditional tiling resizing. Due to this model approach, it could be intimated to you but it can achieve great things and may be just what you need for a 11" screen because you can have an infinite number of full/half screen windows that you can scroll horizontally or vertically (thanks to stackable windows and infinite workspaces number).

Talking only about tiling WMs I've used, but there may be great/better options out there. You can quickly check the list of features on their respective github page and watch videos to see what each of them can offer. Detailing all their features here would not be digestible.

Edit: except very few tiling WMs (I can think of two), they all fully support the mouse to click or move/resize windows.
