Archivy is a self-hosted knowledge repository that allows you to safely preserve useful content that contributes to your knowledge bank.

Features:

If you add bookmarks, their webpages contents' will be saved to ensure that you will always have access to it, in sync with the idea of digital preservation.
Allows you to sync up with Pocket to gather bookmarks from there too.
Everything is a file! For ease of access and editing, all the content is stored in markdown files with yaml front matter.

I apologize to @natoscott and @fasterit who tried to contact me; I understand that forking the project must not have been an easy decision to make, and any response of mine might have made it a little easier.

I want to thank you all of you for taking on this initiative, starting from @afontenot for opening up this topic. I am extremely grateful for all the amazing feedback I've received for htop over the years. This has been by far my most successful project, it has brought me many many great things, and I think it's indeed flattering to see it forked

We've just released htop-3.0.0 with over two years worth of bug fixes
and features. Enjoy!

What's new in version 3.0.0

• New maintainers - after a prolonged period of inactivity
  from Hisham, the creator and original maintainer, a team
  of community maintainers have volunteered to take over
  a fork at https://htop.dev and https://github.com/htop-dev
  to keep the project going.

GLab is an open source Gitlab Cli tool written in Go (golang) to help work seamlessly with Gitlab from the command line.

« usbkill » is an anti-forensic kill-switch that waits for a change on your USB ports and then immediately shuts down your computer.

JSON is everywhere on the Internet. Servers spend a lot of time parsing it. We need a fresh approach. The simdjson library uses commonly available SIMD instructions and microparallel algorithms to parse JSON 2.5x faster than anything else out there.

A while back I bought a DYMO LabelManager Plug N Play Label Maker to help organize things. Before I bought it I had done some cursory searching and saw there were Linux drivers, and I set up CUPS, fixed permissions (of course), and installed the DYMO drivers, but nothing was showing up.

Well, turns out there’s a reason for that – the LabelManager PnP actually labels itself as a HID device, not a printer! (lsusb -v to peep the details)…

Luckily, with a bit of searching, I found a nice little Python 3 script called dymoprint (github) that reverse-engineered the USB protocol and works perfectly. Another dev subsequently wrote a Perl script that generates 64px tall bitmaps to the printer. (I have lots of existing image generation code to build a Python version of this, but honestly, the first dymoprint script does just about everything I want, which is just to print some simple labels).

I saw that someone else did get it to run on CUPS – it looks like you have to set up modeswitching, but I haven’t tested that personally.

ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) is a disk utility for Unix systems. Its name refers to its similar purpose to the du utility, but ncdu uses a text-based user interface under the [n]curses programming library.[2] Users can navigate the list using the arrow keys and delete files that are taking up too much space by pressing the 'd' key. Version 1.09 and later can export the file listing in JSON format.

Shuf is a Linux and Unix command-line utility that puts its input text in random order to generate output consisting of random permutations of the input. In simple terms, it just shuffles the input of either text file or standard input passed through the command line.

10 years ago, systemd was announced and swiftly rose to become one of the most persistently controversial and polarizing pieces of software in recent history, and especially in the GNU/Linux world. The quality and nature of debate has not improved in the least from the major flame wars around 2012-2014, and systemd still remains poorly understood and understudied from both a technical and social level despite paradoxically having disproportionate levels of attention focused on it.

I am writing this essay both for my own solace, so I can finally lay it to rest, but also with the hopes that my analysis can provide some context to what has been a decade-long farce, and not, as in Benno Rice’s now famous characterization, tragedy.

A new way to see and navigate directory trees

The proc filesystem is an important feature of Linux that you can't ignore. proc is a pseudo or virtual filesystem that provides an interface to kernel data structures. In other words, proc isn't an actual filesystem in the real-world sense; rather, it resides only in memory and not on a disk. It is automatically mounted by the system.

Most of its contents are regular files and directories, so you can use most regular Linux tools to navigate the proc filesystem. The examples in this article should run the same on any Linux distribution.

Did you ever want to match a regex, but all you had was a fat32 driver? Ever wanted to serialize your regex DFAs into one of the most widely supported formats used by over 3 billion devices? Are directory loops your thing?

Worry no more, with regex2fat this has become easier than ever before! With just a little regex2fat '[YOUR] F{4}VOUR{1,7}E (R[^E]G)*EX HERE.' /dev/whatever, you will have a fat32 regex DFA of your favourite regex. For example, to see whether the string 'Y FFFFVOURRE EX HEREM' would match, just mount it and check if '/Y/SPACE/F/F/F/F/V/O/U/R/R/E/SPACE/E/X/SPACE/H/E/R/E/M/MATCH' exists.

If you’re trying to learn Docker you will first have to master its various terminal commands. This guide aims to help you get started with basic docker commands.

systemd has become a mainstay for the Linux world, but one of the things that still seems to stick around is cron jobs. It’s understandable, as cron is a tool that we have been using for a long time. Change is hard, but I think systemd Timers make the change well worth it. Here are a few reasons why…

I've now learned that grep can, halfway through grepping in a file, think
the file is suddenly binary and stop returning results.

xsv is a command line program for indexing, slicing, analyzing, splitting and joining CSV files. Commands should be simple, fast and composable:

Simple tasks should be easy.
Performance trade offs should be exposed in the CLI interface.
Composition should not come at the expense of performance.
