    Thanks for your effort! I also think having examples of raw output before vs after using lowfat would be useful as well

    For Seoul, I think this is an interesting observation: Seoul is not a pretty city, at least not by most Western standards of beauty. It is a sprawling, haphazard mix with little ap…

    I bet there might be something but you can probably create your own by using ImageMagick[1] and some manipulations. For ex. for images, I would create a temp file or use a process …

    This snippet for zsh still has some rough edges but works for the majority of cases. Automatically extends any global alias when space is pressed in zsh. For ex. I have `alias -G G…

    Can someone please explain how one would tell LLM to use such a CLI over a natively supported MCP server? Do you need to add the info about CLI into persistent memory(ex. AGENTS.md…

    Thank you, this seems like a very good intro to newcomers! Would be cool if you could continue these series with a few more advanced lessons as well

    Valid points, I learned something new today. Thanks, you were right. If using -ic flags I am getting around 300 ms... Interesting how I never noticed, guess I don't open many termi…

    Omg, this is so great, that you so much! Gonna set up a bunch of A320 warning sounds to scare me in case I am idle for too long :)

    That's where I actually did it, by coincidence

    Like many other people, I use oh-my-zsh for default setup and that's it. I literally use a single plugin for git and very actively autoload my custom functions to avoid startup del…

    True. To combat that you can define a variable LESS with default options in your config file. In my case, I have export LESS='-R --quit-if-one-screen -i' (interpret escape sequence…

    Imho, we should let people experiment as much as they want. Having more examples is better than less. Still, thanks for the link for the course, this is a top-notch one

    Don't forget that you can enable syntax highlighting/file rendering(like pdf, markdown) in less with lesspipe https://github.com/wofr06/lesspipe . It is exteremely useful and impro…

    Yeah, exactly, like Ctrl+Alt+T opening Xterm in Ubuntu. If I am not mistaken, if you have a file explorer open it will automatically open terminal in that specific folder(i.e. kind…

    The only thing I am missing now from Ghostty is being able to open it in any open Finder folder with a keyboard shortcut(like standard Ubuntu terminal). Ghostty already provides Fi…

    Lol, mb, but I don't believe that's the case for Alacritty. As for the Apple Terminal, it is not great

    I have been pretty happy with Alacritty for a while but just tried Ghostty and am a little bit mind-blown. The fact that it has a built-in theme picker is insanely convenient for p…

    As a heads up, you might soon need a JS runtime to make it work[1]. You might have to tweak even more (: [1] https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404

    This is great, congrats for such a huge accomplishment! My only wish is if asciinema natively supported saving into svg or gif. This would allow you to easily add it to markdown fi…

    This is so cool, thanks for sharing! Having this on a Mac would be great but I understand that this might be a huge undertaking :)
