I like that this generates readable output that could pass as hand-written code: https://github.com/matejak/argbash/blob/master/resources/exa... The docopt.sh output looks as if it went through a JS

Benthos is a really cool tool when you want to take this idea to the next level. It can do the usual text/csv/json/yaml mangling you'd do with awk or jq (since it includes a version of those in addition to its own proce

I try to avoid the site as much as possible but I have a redirection rule to go to a Nitter instance in case I end up clicking on a link. The Nitter UI is nicer too and works fine without JS. https://github.com/einaregilsson

I believe this is a client issue. The Mastodon client API gives enough information to render a thread tree but most clients don't take advantage of it yet. Fedilab on Android has a nice tree-like thread view.

Simple composable components are especially important for complex projects. The larger the project the less likely that the assumptions made by the framework will be a good fit for it.

It's very easy to add exceptions for individual sites, for example letting youtube have f for full-screen. You just click on the Vimium icon on toolbar and it pops up the dialog for that. You can do it in 5 seconds even while you are r

It's open-source, about 10K lines of good quality self-contained JS code with no obfuscation so it's not that hard to go through it yourself. It moves fairly slowly these days so once you have done this once it's easy to stay

If you don't mind the drastically reduced feature set[1]. It works if you were using nothing but default settings but if you want custom filters or anything else that's not included in the bundled filter list then you are SOL. [1]

The world has also moved beyond just text 20 years ago and we were all supposed to switch to Jabber/XMPP. And yet here I am using IRC as much as ever. If I end up using Matrix it will probably be from my favorite IRC client through som

Long time Gentoo user for similar reasons: flexibility and transparency. Similar thoughts about Nix too. Messed around with it in limited ways but it's not a good match for how I like to run my systems and I don't find the extra l

Yeah, that's basically it but I use conservative CFLAGS, pretty much just "-O2" so no need to rebuild for CPU changes.

Huh, the last time I've done a "fresh install" was for the amd64 switch in 2008, my image has been rolling forward since then. I guess I am extremely lucky?

For those of us who prefer traditional keyword based searches are there any search engines left that actually respect your query instead of trying to guess what you mean? I don't want to have a conversation with my search engine, I wan

"AI features" will make search suck even more. I want my tools to be predictable, I want to be able to understand why they behave the way they do and I want to be able to customize them for my needs. This will be yet another step

Reddit has learned a lasting lesson from Digg's self-destruct, that's why old.reddit.com is still around too. It's been over a decade so they might be starting to forget but perhaps the Twitter meltdown will be a good refresh

Netbooted machines were not that uncommon in the past. I implemented and ran a large scale nfsroot build farm around 2010. The company was in the business of high end NFS storage so maximum dogfooding was a part of the goal. Prior to that a
