wdym, all these things are on the left

v137 on KDE, there’s no minimize or close to tray option in the settings, like some screenshots suggest.

Thunderbird extensions for that don’t work on recent versions, and KDocker - which I used for a couple of years - doesn’t seem to work on Wayland. So the only option on some DEs seems to migrate to Betterbird.

yeah, I use Thunderbird, but it bothers me how slow it feels and the frequent little UI bugs with unread flags not updating and the delay of messages to show up in the unified inbox.

It’s nice that Betterbird has a system tray (I can’t believe how a standalone desktop app for emails neglects this, like TB does), but it still inherits a lot of the problems TB has.

Your Outie is skilled at compiling software from source.

I have the typeface, but didn’t know that was an option at all

there are many fonts that I mostly like, but then there’s just one or a couple letters like g or l vs I that don’t align with my preference and ruins it to use as a daily driver.

good time to not have a ~/Documents and keep backups encrypted off site

yeah, overall it’s a bad idea to not update a browser for an entire year. It’s not 2010 anymore.

That’s an interesting project.

I’ll add to anyone who doesn’t already know it, that most people not using something like Pijul probably should be using a noreply email for git commits to prevent the spam, and that GitHub and potentially others already have it:

• your-github-user@users.noreply.github.com

I think for development processes not centered around emails this is a must have.

hey, at least it’s a --force-with-lease, we’re not animals

Quillpad has an interface like Google Keep - which for mobile it’s one of the best ones out there IMO. It’s also markdown-based, local-first, open source, gluten-free, vegan, etc

ok, that’s it, I’m donating monthly

Never, but I recently switched to Zen so idk if I’ll find myself doing that in a few weeks/months too.

ah, this filter by timestamp might be very useful to me, thanks

last year I had over 1TB freed by docker system prune on a dev VM. If you’re building images often, that’s a mandatory command to run once in a while.

6. What are you talking about, it’s always better.

But seriously, I don’t have much Rust proficiency and I still pick software in Rust because 1. installing and updating rust itself and things installed with it is a bliss; and 2. the CLI experience of Rust programs tends to be much better than alternatives.

Contrasting that with installing something with Go, which is a common alternative for things written in Rust:

• First, I need Go. So if I chose to install it via another package manager - perhaps with the exception of pacman - I may end up with an out of date version that may cause issues when compiling newer code. I had this happen a few times.
• If I chose to build it myself, first I need an older version of Go to compile a newer Go. Very fun.
• If I chose to install it via their website, it’s a manual .tar.gz download and extraction of an executable that doesn’t self-update, so next time I not only have to repeat this, but I need to remember it.
• Then there’s the gvm project, which promises to resolve some of this friction, and it was my method of choice, but I’m not sure it’s maintained anymore and I always have to look up their commands because of things like: gvm list works, but to list versions for download it’s gvm listall instead of gvm list --all)

Now for Rust:

• curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
• optional cargo install cargo-update to update everything else with cargo install-update -a

Things I already have:

• rebind ctrl-r and up (configurable) to a full screen history search UI
• old history file is not replaced

Things I could find useful once in a while:

• switch filter modes via ctrl-r; search history just from the current session, directory, or globally

Things I don’t care about and probably wouldn’t use:

• back up and sync encrypted shell history
• log exit code, cwd, hostname, session, command duration, etc
• calculate statistics such as “most used command”
• quick-jump to previous items with Alt-<num>
• enter to execute a command, tab to edit

I really don’t want:

• the same history across terminals, across sessions, and across machines

Not really a feature:

• store shell history in a sqlite database

I just sync my bash history with dotfiles and use FZF for recalling it. I’m not sold on it.

Also, the same history on different machines would be something I definitely do NOT want. I heavily rely on recent history to re-run commands on different machines with different projects and configurations. Mixing all that would be a mess.

Same, that’s why I stopped using rethink a while ago, even though I loved it.

I don’t think you can. But if it’s open source and popular, there might be a chance it will have a maintained fork should that happen.

Freemium feature creep might be a sign things are changing for the worst, as in, if more and more features are being added to the premium plan and the free version is stagnating; to the point the target public of the premium version is creeping to average users instead of aiming at commercial or power users.

Same. And I was a Nova pro user years ago.
