pecheny··on Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open
Oh wow :) thank you for cmux, it's a great project!

The code is here: https://code.pecheny.me/pecheny/cmux or if you prefer github, https://github.com/alexander-pecheny/cmux

I think I only added two features, pasting images over mosh (ssh already worked but not mosh) and a compact version of sidebar.

The story behind the fork is: I had a bug with raycast, filed a PR that fixed it for me https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/pull/2435, a different fix made it into next release that for me didn't work. Maybe the problem was on my side, but at this point it was easier to fork the working version than debug further.

Not sarcasm at all. I think you might overestimate the time and effort needed for this. When you maintain a _personal_ fork with no users except yourself, you only ever need to change something when you encounter a bug or need a new feature.

E.g. I have personal forks of mosh and cmux, each took maybe 1 hour of my time total?

I found this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49156111 resonating with me, except I obviously don't do stuff like "nightly cron to sync with main", I just never touch the code unless it breaks or I want a new feature.

why “find” an alternative? if you’re a herdr user you’re perfectly capable of maintaining a fork just for yourself :)
pecheny··on How uv got so fast
The content is nice and insightful! But God I wish people stopped using LLMs to 'improve' their prose... Ironically, some day we might employ LLMs to re-humanize texts that had been already massacred.

To get rid of pointers, you can add

to your uBlock Origin's custom filters list.
pecheny··on Cracking encrypted LastPass vaults
Sorry, I don't get it. The secret key has to be stored somewhere, right? If it's on the server, the attacker gets it together with the vault. If it's on the client, then you lose your phone → you lose your passwords, which is, while secure, very risky and I wouldn't expect it from a company focused on regular customers.
pecheny··on Show HN: Readwise Reader, an all-in-one reading app
Imported an EPUB into the app. Really nice typography, so props to you on that!

The internal links seem to be not working, though. I mostly read books with a lot of footnotes, so I won't be able to try it as my daily reading driver right now, but good luck! There's not a single one good reading app out there, so the market is yours to take.
