My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I’m now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.

Have you used fish? The built-in fuzzy matching works pretty well for me. Wondering if there’s any reason to add atuin in. Sync seems like a negative to me more than a positive.

This is a fantastic write-up, thanks for sharing!

I use Jenkins for work, unfortunately, so I have plenty of experience

FYI, Jenkins has an endpoint to validate the pipeline without running it, and there’s a VSCode extension to do this without leaving the editor: https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2018/11/07/Validate-Jenkinsfile/

FYI you can (sorta) redirect searches from the start menu: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-let-google-handle-cortana-web-search-results-windows-10

Mine all go to DDG in FF

The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).

I feel the same way. Designing good, opinionated APIs is HARD, but it also provides the best experience for both the author and the consumer.

• Prettier is the undisputed king of JS formatters because it has no options by design. You set and forget.
• One of the reasons iOS is so successful is because they lock down their APIs and put strict standards on apps, making it hard to write something that doesn’t at least look good and slot into the OS well.

Among other examples.

In a world where your IDE and maybe also compiler should warn you about using unicode literals in source code, that’s not much of a concern.

VSCode (and I’m sure other modern IDEs, but haven’t tested) will call out if you’re using a Unicode char that could be confused with a source code symbol (e.g. i and ℹ️, which renders in some fonts as a styled lowercase i without color). I’m sure it does the same on the long equals sign.

Any compiler will complain (usually these days with a decent error message) if someone somehow accidentally inserts an invalid Unicode character instead of typing ==.

These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…

Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don’t use it personally but I hear great things

You mean like git sparse-checkout? Admittedly experimental but useful

What do people have against the Mach kernel?

Actually I’m guessing this is a localization failure

Also, I was just looking this morning at writing something like that Fitbit/influxDB integration for YNAB (You Need a Budget) for visualization in grafana!

I usually don’t pay much attention to the “new software” section, but PerPlexed looks pretty cool! It never occurred to me that it would be possible to create an alternative Plex UI from scratch like that

You should reach out to the authors! I have no clue how they create their “new” section

Also, that CLI trick is crazy! Never knew that and I’m a fairly proficient shell user.

Anyone use authentik? Seems useful, most of my homelab services are unsecured ATM (just local only/vpn)

The thought of colocating my homelab is intriguing… But also sounds like way too much effort and money
