ZTE G X760

The ZTE G X760 is also known as "Orange VEGAS". I use one branded "T-Mobile", byt unlocked. I use it to phone and as a backup modem. It's a GPRS (2G) phone. When plugged to a computer through the USB, the telephone promts if it will be connected as "Mass storage" or "COM Port". Depending on the usage, You've got to choose.

Blueline

Blueline is one of the best Internet Service provider in Madagascar. With their mobile telephone product, they have a Data service. I use it to access Internet, with my telephone (see above), on my Ubuntu and Debian laptop. The APN is "bluenet". No password required.

Connecting to Internet

After pluggin the phone and choosing "COM Port", the phone is then detected as a modem

         cdc_acm 3-2:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device         usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm         cdc_acm: v0.26:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters
Then, I had to setup several files:
/etc/chatscripts/bluenet 
       ABORT BUSY       ABORT 'NO CARRIER'       ABORT ERROR       REPORT CONNECT       TIMEOUT 10       "" "ATZ &F"       OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","bluenet"'       TIMEOUT 60       OK "ATD*99***1#"       CONNECT \d\c
/etc/ppp/peers/bluenet 
       hide-password       noauth       modem       connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/bluenet"       debug       /dev/ttyACM0       115200       defaultroute       noipdefault       user any       password any       remotename bluenet       ipparam bluenet       usepeerdns       novj       lcp-echo-interval 0
To connect to internet, just do: pon bluenet and tail your logs.

Undefined global vim

Defining vim as global outside of Neovim When developing plugins for Neovim, particularly in Lua, developers often encounter the "Undefined global vim" warning. This warning can be a nuisance and disrupt the development workflow. However, there is a straightforward solution to this problem by configuring the Lua Language Server Protocol (LSP) to recognize 'vim' as a global variable. Getting "Undefined global vim" warning when developing Neovim plugin While developing Neovim plugins using Lua, the Lua language server might not recognize the 'vim' namespace by default. This leads to warnings about 'vim' being an undefined global variable. These warnings are not just annoying but can also clutter the development environment with unnecessary alerts, potentially hiding other important warnings or errors. Defining vim as global in Lua LSP configuration to get rid of the warning To resolve the "Undefined global vi...

LazyGit AI Commit Message

Having AI‑generated commit messages directly integrated into LazyGit If you use LazyGit every day, you already know how it turns Git from a chore into something you can actually enjoy. But there is one part of the workflow that still tends to feel a bit tedious: writing good commit messages. In this post, I show how to plug OpenAI models directly into LazyGit using a tiny one‑file BASH script, so you can get AI‑generated commit messages based on your actual diffs, without waiting for external tools to catch up with the new OpenAI Responses API . The result is a minimal, focused tool you can drop into your setup today: lgaicm . It behaves like a mini aichat that does exactly one thing: generate commit messages from Git diffs, optimized for LazyGit. Why AI‑generated commit messages in LazyGit? Commit messages matter. They are the stor...

CopilotChat GlobFile Configuration

CopilotChat GlobFile Configuration Want to feed multiple files into GitHub Copilot Chat from Neovim without listing each one manually? Let's add a tiny feature that does exactly that: a file glob that includes full file contents . In this post, we'll walk through what CopilotChat.nvim offers out of the box, why the missing piece matters, and how to implement a custom #file_glob:<pattern> function to include the contents of all files matching a glob. Using Copilot Chat with Neovim CopilotChat.nvim brings GitHub Copilot's chat right into your editing flow. No context switching, no browser hopping — just type your prompt in a Neovim buffer and let the AI help you refactor code, write tests, or explain tricky functions. You can open the chat (for example) with a command like :CopilotChat , then provide extra context using built-in functions. That “extra context” is where the magic really happens. Built-in functio...
