You are leaving out other trade-offs, like the program crashing when something memory-unsafe is done. It is not simply a performance trade-off. Many folks would rather have the lan…

re: man page - It looks like there is no support for man pages from the snap infrastructure. So, there's not much I can do. The "stable" version of the snap is really old (circa 20…

Yep, I would say the stiffest competition for lnav is the old tools[1]. I would just hope folks could have an open mind and give "new" things a chance (although lnav has been on gi…

Speaking as the author, I too wish it was written in Rust. But, I started it in 2007 when I needed to get practice with C++ for work. At this point, there's so much code in lnav, r…

To elaborate on this, lnav ( https://lnav.org ) is always polling files to check for new data and will load it in automatically. It does not require the user to do anything. As far…

I tend to agree with ProZD's tier list[1] where "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Porco Rosso", and "Totoro" are at S rank. Those might also be a good introduction since they're pretty "…

The PRQL[1] syntax is built around pipelines and works pretty well. I added a similar "get results as you type" feature to the SQLite integration in the Logfile Navigator (lnav)[2]…

Nice work! The TUI looks really sharp and I like the histogram on top. Going to play with this today. TIL awk patterns can be more than just regexes and can be combined with boolea…

The article makes it sound like it uses various command-line tools (bash/awk/head/tail) to process the logs. So, I imagine it's not a huge leap to extend support to using journalct…
