I'm not struggling with vim since I sticked to nano. Personally to me vim appears kinda legacy, it's not bad if one uses it, but I just have nano. It is like oldschool phone keyboard - it still does the job perfectly, but I'm not using it. However, some people argue, that vim is still the only available text editor on some setups, so it is highly recommended to know it.

Do you use vim? (sh.itjust.works)

Do you use vim as your default text editor? If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?

It used to try IPv6 but I've disabled it in some config. It worked for one time, but the next session it stopped (but it still connects via IPv4) Btw going to debian.map.fastlydns.net from a browser (as if it was a website) returns "unkown domain", while pinging it works. This seems weird.

I can't install anything because connection to debian.map.fastlydns.net is stuck at 0%. However, pinging it does work. I suppose it is caused by my ISP since. So, what should I do to fix that? Is switching to a mirror going to help?

Absolutely same, but I've been switching from Opera. I was kind-of veteran Firefox user but my primary browser for many years was Opera. By 2025, Firefox became slow and bloated as hell, even it's visual design (on mobile at least). I've tried a couple of forks, but they were either slow or ugly in my opinion. But Waterfox was not slow and it's look is exactly what I need: modern but not bloated. So I switched immediately.

I tried Librewolf too, and I just disliked the design, and it was also very slow for no reason.

Accidentaly broken USB (sh.itjust.works)

I've formatted a USB after it was used for an iso with ventoy, and now the usb doesn't work. Google says I have to clear the USB, create a primary partition and format it to fat32 (via diskpart) but I'm stuck with "no volume for this partition". "Create volume" doesn't help: it says the disk isn't dynamic What should I do?

Firefox forks (sh.itjust.works)

Do you use any forks instead of default Firefox? If yes, which ones and why?

I lack friends to discuss interests with. I want to study programming but have no peers in the field. They say "Hang around five billionaires, and you'll become the sixth", and I believe this statement is a crucial thing about personal development. Networking is not my strong point, and communities often gatekeep unexperienced newbies. So, how do I actually find interest-based buddies?

I've switched some default apps in Android 9, but they're occasionally resetting back to the preinstalled system options. How do I prevent it and why does it even happen?
