laktak··on Stop Making TUIs
tmux
laktak··on Getting syntax highlighting wrong
yellow? had to go back to check - Try Darkreader :)
laktak··on LineageOS 23
I'd love to see a hybrid phone with an embedded stock android for banking, pay and government apps and a regular LinageOS or Linux OS that runs on a separate partition/hw/vm.

Like "gluing" two phones together - just better ;)

It would be great to run an open OS but having to carry a separate phone for banking/paying is not really a viable option.

laktak··on How I use my terminal
Not to forget

https://github.com/laktak/extrakto

(similar to copycat) and

laktak··on Show HN: Empty Enter Expander – Type less in the terminal with this tool
I think there are a lot of different takes on this. Mine uses playbooks, if you are interested https://github.com/laktak/tome
laktak··on fd: A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
I used sql instead of flags to make it easier to remember - see https://github.com/laktak/zfind
laktak··on Yash: Yet Another Shell
Tome does exactly that by replacing the history with playbooks

https://github.com/laktak/tome

laktak··on Some terminal frustrations
I find the history much too unorganized to be useful. That's why I made playbooks https://github.com/laktak/tome

ymmv but I prefer this to searching.

laktak··on I miss Vim
I meant a text UI, something like lf or ranger that displays a TUI. The nvim terminal does not work 100% for that use case.

In vim I can just run lf to select a file and then return to vim.

laktak··on I miss Vim
neovim does not support running external programs that have an UI with `!`

So, no.

laktak··on Intel and AMD's different approaches to gluing together CPUs
I've edited the title. The original was generated by the HN scriptlet
laktak··on Firefox update added more sponsored content on new-tab page
Saw the same with some new sponsored shortcuts that were previously disabled.
laktak··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I rewrote https://github.com/laktak/chkbit in Go because Python packaging was so frustrating. With Go you can just build for any platform without spinning up multiple VMs.
laktak··on Ask HN: Is it possible to buy a ANSI US Laptop in Europe?
perfect, thank you!
laktak··on Ask HN: Is it possible to buy a ANSI US Laptop in Europe?
The selection isn't the best but at least they have the option to filter! Thanks
laktak··on Ask HN: Is it possible to buy a ANSI US Laptop in Europe?
It's not that easy as the keys on the keyboards are entirely different. The enter key is vertical and when you hit \ you execute a command instead.
laktak··on Ask HN: Is it possible to buy a ANSI US Laptop in Europe?
Thanks but UK keyboards have a vertical enter key, so no.
laktak··on Ask HN: Is it possible to buy a ANSI US Laptop in Europe?
I don't care about the paint but the keys are different, on US keyboards the enter his horizontal while on others it's vertial.

laktak··on Show HN: YTHunt, App for recommending/discovering interesting videos
I liked this enough to keep a tab open ;) but now it's been down for a few days - what happened?
laktak··on What You Get After Running an SSH Honeypot for 30 Days
What does `echo -e "\x6F\x6B"` do?
laktak··on Show HN: zfind – CLI like find but using SQL syntax and also does tar/zip
also does 7zip and rar now
laktak··on Show HN: zfind – CLI like find but using SQL syntax and also does tar/zip
Thanks, good point. I'll make sure to add it.
laktak··on Show HN: zfind – CLI like find but using SQL syntax and also does tar/zip
The bare args are for the path(s) to search.

zfind -w 'size>20k and name="foo"'

I could consider having the first arg reserved for -w

zfind 'size>20k and name="foo"'

but I much prefer the quotes and being allowed to write > instead of gt.

laktak··on Show HN: zfind – CLI like find but using SQL syntax and also does tar/zip
tbh, I probably wouldn't have written zfind if I had known about this.

fselect still takes the SQL analogy a bit too far for my taste, still cool though :)

Oh and fselect doesn't do tar.

laktak··on What's New in Neovim 0.10
Yes, ! has the same issues as system() which I'd need to integrate with lf.
laktak··on What's New in Neovim 0.10
I tried to switch to nvim but quickly discovered that there are breaking changes that just don't work for me, like system() not being interactive and having to use term.

nvim might be great for some but it's not a vim replacement, it's a different editor with different drawbacks.

laktak··on Ask HN: What do you do with your old Intel MacBooks?
> should work

Do you have any links on what's the best way to get all drivers? I have a 2015/2017 MacbookPro. I've tried this a few times but there was always something missing and most of the "How to" sites appear to be abandoned after a few years.

laktak··on Ask HN: Any tool for managing large and variable command lines?
See https://github.com/laktak/tome

It lets you manage playbooks, interactive scripts that keep your recurring commands (or what you would otherwise search for in the bash history).

laktak··on Keep your phone number private with Signal usernames
You may be able to install something like https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android in the EU ... eventually.
