  Today I finally learn about vim undofile/undodir and how to set the swap dir to somewhere else. Now it all nicely lives in ~/.cache/vim/ and with an mkdir -p call in there too, so I don't forget on my next machine those have to be created.

  New boring tech thing. Not only did I make my August dotfiles update at the end of August this time, I finally started a repo for my "bin" directory. Initial state populated, and now dropping things I'd kept for vague reference, just in case, or laziness.

  Here's a just now "AI is dumb, actually". Original: "se reunió con la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum en la Ciudad de México.". Google Translated: "met with Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum.".

  Does anyone have examples of using Gitlab (or some other CI) to build multi-platform containers, in a way that doesn't seem to just QEMU the non-native part? https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/docker/using_buildkit/#build-multi-platform-images-in-rootless-mode to me reads like it will just do everything on whatever runner gets the job.

  If you read the U-Boot mailing lists via gmail, please note that you've likely been unsubscribed today due to "excessive bounces" from the mailing list point of view, and because Google did something annoying I assume, in reality.

  (Not tagging everyone) So now that I know what to again try for setting up SyncThing on my phone, I need to find a simple markdown editor, again, as the last one I was using isn't on the store anymore it seems. Recs welcome :)

  The U-Boot mailing list server had an outage for the last two days or so, but is back now. If you're not getting emails again sometime today, please see if you were unsubscribed due to bounces or similar (which, our problem this time, not google/etc). Sorry and thanks! (boosts appreciated)

  Didn't commit my personal dotfile changes for Feb, but have for Feb + March, which goes with Dec + Jan being the last commit. This was largely finalizing a switch to Konsole and so a bunch of solarized (or at least coloring) related changes.
