Version 5.2.5 is coming! It includes backend and frontend component upgrade and help for regression testing is much welcome.
In spite of many hours of testing, our small team doesn't cover all the configurations and all the use cases.
If you're willing to give a hand, please have a look at this forum post for more details: https://framacolibri.org/t/besoin-daide-pour-les-tests-de-la-nouvelle-version/32866

set undodir=${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/vim/undo//

set backupdir=${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/vim/backup//
set undofile
set undolevels=1000
set undoreload=10000

I also have:

set autoread

This automatically reloads the file if something else changes it and I have no unsaved changes (e.g. if I run clang-format over all files in the directory while I have vim open). The undoreload setting makes sure that this works with undo nicely: if I discover that some auto formatting tool, or git stash (or a partial commit or something), has screwed up the file, I can undo to the last version that vim saved (and prior versions that vim saved).

My .cache/vim directory is about 200 MiB. On the first machine I used vim on, that would have been a huge chunk of the total disk, but today it's a rounding error.

Public Transport shouldn't make a profit. The reason Public Transport exists is because a business can't make a profit. But the shops and markets that profit from riders of Transit do. It maintains a vibrant healthy village or town center at low cost. London would probably be abandoned without Public Transit.

The people at Byline Times take a closer look and find many gaps in the UKs legalization of #pluginpv: https://bylinetimes.com/2026/08/27/the-small-print-ministers-left-out-of-the-plug-in-solar-announcement/

- no batteries
- only seven kits can be sold legally in Britain today, to plug-in without an electrician’s approval, all from the same company
- there is nothing in the legislation ensuring that tenants have a right to install it
- no panels allowed on anything wooden

La copertina del nuovo album degli #Interpol è un capolavoro.

@randahl The reason is usually "because one can't afford not to be there". Because there's an audience. And of course, a lot of that audience is there because politicians who can't afford not to be there are there. Deadlock if we ever saw one.

@aral @EUCommission The safest TLD is nearly always going to be the ccTLD from your own country of residence. For instance, as a Brazilian I can use a .net.br or .com.br domain (.org.br is restricted to registered non-profits), pay with Boleto Bancário (a traditional local payment method) or PIX (the very popular new local instant payment method), and only be subject to Brazilian laws and courts (which I already am subject to, since I live here).
