I add all videos that I want to watch to a playlist and then run a script on my machine to download the videos. It will only download each video once as it keep tracks of downloade…

Shameless plug: https://github.com/danisztls/fzfx It tries to solve the "now what" part.

Basically I use Git, ln and a setup script that I wrote. https://github.com/danisztls/dotfiles > primarily that I'd have to try to share it between professional and personal comput…

I write data that makes sense to have as normalized in YAML format even if I'm not parsing it in any program because I may do so in the future and YAML is ergonomic. But for things…

I had a similar insight some years ago. I write my TODOs mixed with text in markdown notes and use a CLI to do nice things like exploration and journaling. It purposefully doesn't …

Have zero trust. Use E2E encryption.

Syncthing frequently stops syncing on my phone and requires me to delete everything and resync. I'm using receive-only folders. I think I'm an exception but it's been a pain in the…

Using Borg for more than a year I haven't had an issue yet. In the past I used a similar tool that had error-correction capability but the tool was buggy and slow when compared to …

Suggestion: You can use pass to securely store and pipe your password, no superuser required.

It kind is, simple but effective. For comparison, take a look at my over-engineered backup script: https://github.com/danisztls/arbie/blob/main/arbie

I do something similar but using Borg (backup), gocryptfs (encryption) and rclone (sync) for cloud backup. No cascade.

find and grep are mandatory tools of the Linux toolbox but I use fd and ripgrep most of the time.

I use a similar trick but with aliases. If I want to cd to let's say "~/work/john/some-project" I just type 'fcd' on the console and then "w j s" and "ENTER". Most of the times it …

I wrote it to improve my shell scripting but I've found myself using it it on a daily basis.
