Most AUR helpers (well, the ones I've used at least, those being yay and pacaur) include the option to show a diff of PKGBUILD (and other provided files) for AUR package upgrades

Yea I was pleasantly surprised by how simple the code is when I read it. Honestly a great example of what termbox2 is capable of. Very nice! And now I know about termbox2, which lo…

This one does not have a sign-up wall no, however some of their other articles do (e.g. https://www.404media.co/inside-the-telegram-channel-jailbrea... , also from today)

I've asked dang about this before and he answered that it gets killed automatically because of the sign-up wall on some of their articles and that their articles weren't considered…

What about changing the committer timestamp slightly until you find a match like https://github.com/mattbaker/git-vanity-sha ? That would make it entirely invisible

I totally agree! This is actually a very good summary of the value prop for atproto honestly. Definitely saving this. ("credible edit" -> "credible exit" I'm assuming.) It certainl…

On that note there's also https://tangled.org built on atproto which (kind of?) solves that. You have one identity (the same one for all atproto apps) which you use to interact wit…

Blacksky's AppView did get a mention in his 2025 predictions review[1], but perhaps it's not exactly considered "self-sustainable" yet? I haven't kept up with it in a while either …

Woah that's actually huge. I've been very interested in tangled from an atproto perspective but I had no idea it had that as well. Wonder why that isn't talked about more. Seems li…

I wonder why npm doesn't block pre/postinstall scripts by default, which pnpm and Bun (and I imagine others) already do. EDIT: oh I scrolled down a bit further and see you said the…

Isn't that what lockfiles are for? By default `npm i` downloads exactly the versions specified in your lockfile, and only resolves the latest versions matching the ranges specified…

These days compromised packages are often detected automatically by software that scans all packages uploaded to npm like https://socket.dev or https://snyk.io . So I imagine it's …

there's apparently an npm RFC from 2022 proposing a similar (but potentially slightly better?) solution https://github.com/npm/rfcs/issues/646

I've used sendme a few times after coming across Iroh on Bluesky. It's honestly great. Just Works™, very fast, supports files and folders, resumable transfers, one sender to many r…

One issue I always run into with browser-based terminal emulators or remote desktop clients is that common keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl-W might be used by the browser instead. Acci…

Massively agreed. I've had this problem for years and always have hundreds, sometimes thousands of tabs open, spread across a couple dozen windows. Memory usage is actually pretty …

It's worth noting that the actual sync engine is C++. https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring-Sync

Oh! You're right. I suppose I just missed the fact that there's now a skip button/text on the set up screen. Thanks for the correction. And yea its Linux/cross-platform support is …

I've tried a ton of email clients over the years and always end up coming back to Mailspring. Started using ever since it used to be Nylas N1 years ago (which later rebranded to Ny…

Once atproto has first party support for private records I'm definitely expecting a massive increase in interest. It would open so many doors and is probably the main thing holding…

This is the original article (as mentioned by Gizmodo) which I submitted to HN yesterday, but it got killed immediately because of the signup wall. It went into the second chance p…
