The normal complaint new Zellij users have is that it has a lot of keybindings which are likely to conflict with programs like nvim or Helix that use a lot themselves. Before, the workflow was to lock Zellij with ctrl-g which let input go through to the focused shell/program.

The new mode has most of the keybindings behind the ctrl-g lock, e.g. a new tab is ctrl-g t n (instead of ctrl-t n). You can still use alt-(cursor) for changing focus and alt-n/alt-f for a new tiled/floating pane, but all other key presses get passed along.

You can switch between default and unlock-first (non-colliding) modes so if you need those alt shortcuts you can lock everything as before.

Plus some other nice features like being able to change modifier keys while running (via the Kitty Keyboard Protocol), and autoloading the new config when you edit the file.

TL;DW:

Does It Make Sense To Put Data Centers In Space?

At some point in the future, yes.

Can They Really Cost Less To Operate?

In theory, yes.

Scott expresses concerns that current startups have not adequately addressed some of the practical challenges, such as cooling.

This channel is about architecture, and this video (from Nov 2023*) is about Solar Punk and covers some of the history and real-life attempts.

I was amused that shortly after talking about Solar Punk's rejection of consumerism she did the sponsor section, but that's Youtube for you.

I ask Google Bard "What's the difference between Funtoo and Gentoo?"

Bard replies: Both Funtoo and Gentoo are Arch Linux-based distributions known for their source-based installation and high degree of customization. While they share a lot of similarities, there are some key differences to consider:

I checked, and both Gentoo and Arch initially released in March 2002, although Arch is older by 20 days.

Veteran film collector John Franklin believes the answer is for the BBC to announce an immediate general amnesty on missing film footage.

This would reassure British amateur collectors that their private archives will not be confiscated if they come forward and that they will be safe from prosecution for having stored stolen BBC property, something several fear.

“Some of these collectors are terrified,” said Franklin, who knows the location of the two missing Doctor Who episodes, along with several other newly discovered TV treasures, including an episode of the The Basil Brush Show, the second to be unearthed this autumn. “We now need to catalogue and save the significant television shows that are out there. If we are not careful they will eventually be dumped again in house clearances, because a lot of the owners of these important collections are now in their 80s and are very wary,” he added.

Discarded TV film was secretly salvaged from bins and skips by staff and contractors who worked at the BBC between 1967 and 1978, when the corporation had a policy of throwing out old reels. And Hartnell’s Doctor Who episodes were far from the only ones to go. Many popular shows were lost and other Doctor Who adventures starring Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee were either jettisoned or erased. A missing early episode of the long-running sitcom Sykes, starring Eric Sykes and Hattie Jacques, has also been rediscovered in private hands in the last few weeks.

...

The BBC said it was ready to talk to anyone with lost episodes. “We welcome members of the public contacting us regarding programmes they believe are lost archive recordings, and are happy to work with them to restore lost or missing programmes to the BBC archives,” it said.

Whether this will be enough to prompt nervous collectors to come forward is doubtful. While collectors are in no real danger, the infamous arrest of comedian Bob Monkhouse in 1978 has not been forgotten, Franklin suspects: “Monkhouse was a private collector and was accused of pirating videos. He even had some of his archive seized. Sadly people still believe they could have their films confiscated.”
