aaronkjones··on Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
This sounds similar to BetterSnapTool, which I have been using happily for several years.
aaronkjones··on Should I replace my 56k modem with a 28.8K Modem? (2001)
My first job was with a local, rural ISP in 2001. I convinced the boss to let me have an additional account and I payed for a second phone line. Initially I used some software (on Windows 2000) to perform modem bonding (shotgun modem) with two modems. Then, eventually upgraded to Diamond Supra Sonic II 112k. It of course never reached 112k obviously but I was riding that high for quite a while.

Thanks for the reminder of that videos existence!
aaronkjones··on Blogscroll – an open-source directory of personal blogs and digital gardens
It would be great to have tags on each. Displaying a person's name isn't much help, unless I already know them. For example, if it had tags like "Software Developer", "Photography" to denote that blog might pertain to those topics of interest, it might draw me to check them out.
aaronkjones··on Nord: An arctic, north-bluish color palette
I have used Nord for years and added it in https://noobs-term.com (terminal configuration).

Coworkers commented on how nice my terminal looked and wanted to replicate it.

aaronkjones··on Show HN: A single command terminal configuration installer
The packages that get installed are: git curl wget zsh tmux neovim

It depends on what OS/platform you are using to uninstall a package.

The configuration files are in the ".dotfiles" directory of your home folder. You can remove one or all of them from there and restart your terminal.

Thank you. You summed up precisely my thinking. I think the “sensible” projects lay a foundation people can learn on. I just wrapped them up into a single package.

By safe do you mean there is something insecure with redirecting output in this manner or do you mean one shouldn’t sh -c $(wget... without first checking the source of what they’re downloading?

My thinking is it's easier to start out with a solid foundation that I think the "sensible" and oh-my-zsh projects give you.

Take tmux-sensible for example, https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible. Each configuration item is explained in detail.

So the goal here is to give new users a starting point that is well documented and explained, instead of finding joeschmo's dotfiles that has "set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l $SHELL"" with no explanation on what that does.

aaronkjones··on Firefox Lockbox
I am curious how it works, technically speaking.

I already have this capability with password-store (pass), that works for Firefox, Chrome and Safari on destop and mobile.

pass - https://www.passwordstore.org (core program)

passff - https://github.com/jvenant/passff (firefox desktop)

passforios - https://mssun.github.io/passforios (ios w/firefox mobile)

qtpass - http://qtpass.org (osx, linux, windows)
