Why learn actual skills when you can just look impressive instead?

Introducing rust-stakeholder - a CLI tool that generates absolutely meaningless but impressive-looking terminal output to convince everyone you're a coding genius without writing a single line of useful code.

Yesterday I learned that #ghostty, the terminal emulator supports custom shaders. So here is a little retro/crt shader: https://gist.github.com/lukad/d979a36ed9a83020bd6fa3fa0d5d7c89

blinry - I also learned that the "grep" command is called like that because it performs the same function as running "g/re/p" in the original editor "ed" (and "QED" before that, I think): It gets all lines from a file that match the regular expression "re", and prints them!

And through that same heritage, :g/re/p still works in my Neovim today! ^_^ I love learning stuff like this!~

This paper presents an indirect methodology to assess IRQ overhead by constructing preliminary approaches to reduce the impact of IRQs. While these approaches are not suitable for general deployment, their corresponding performance observations indirectly confirm the conjecture. Based on these findings, a small modification of a vanilla Linux system is devised that improves the efficiency and performance of traditional kernel-based networking significantly, resulting in up to 45% increased throughput without compromising tail latency

Glances is a cross-platform system monitoring tool written in Python

List system USB buses and devices; a lib and modern cross-platform lsusb that attempts to maintain compatibility with, but also add new features. Includes a macOS system_profiler SPUSBDataType parser module and libusb profiler for non-macOS systems/gathering more verbose information.

The project started as a quick replacement for the barely working lsusb script and a Rust project to keep me up to date! Like most fun projects, it quickly experienced feature creep as I developed it into a cross-platform replacement for lsusb.

Merge, tail, search, filter, and query log files with ease.

No server. No setup. Still featureful.

A data hoarder’s dream come true: bundle any web page into a single HTML file. You can finally replace that gazillion of open tabs with a gazillion of .html files stored somewhere on your precious little drive.

Unlike the conventional “Save page as”, monolith not only saves the target document, it embeds CSS, image, and JavaScript assets all at once, producing a single HTML5 document that is a joy to store and share.

If compared to saving websites with wget -mpk, this tool embeds all assets as data URLs and therefore lets browsers render the saved page exactly the way it was on the Internet, even when no network connection is available.

An interactive replacer for ripgrep.

This is an interactive command line tool to make find and replacement easy. It uses ripgrep to find, and then provides you with a simple interface to see the replacements in real-time and conditionally replace matches.

Some features:

⚡ Super fast search results
✨ Interactive interface for selecting which matches should be replaced or not
🕶️ Live preview of the replacements
🧠 Replace using capturing groups (e.g., when using /foo (\w+)/ replace with bar $1)
🦀 and more!

While some users prefer to use Git via CLI, they often rely on a GUI or feature-rich TUI to view commit logs. Others may find git log --graph sufficient.

Personally, I found the output from git log --graph difficult to read, even with additional options. Learning complex tools just to view logs seemed cumbersome.
Goals
Provide a rich git log --graph experience in the terminal.
Offer commit graph-centric browsing of Git repositories.

[diff is] the seed crystal of all workable open collaboration, and people living without it don’t even have the language to recognize how bad they’ve got it.

The Modern Port Scanner. Find ports quickly (3 seconds at its fastest). Run scripts through our scripting engine (Python, Lua, Shell supported).
✨ Features

Scans all 65k ports in 3 seconds.
Full scripting engine support. Automatically pipe results into Nmap, or use our scripts (or write your own) to do whatever you want.
Adaptive learning. RustScan improves the more you use it. No bloated machine learning here, just basic maths.
The usuals you would expect. IPv6, CIDR, file input and more.
Automatically pipes ports into Nmap.

conorh@mastodon.sdf.org - During lunch a friend mentioned that you can just supply a HTTP URL to vim on the command line and it would use curl to download that resource and allow you to edit the content. I jokingly asked whether if you enter :w it would then issue a HTTP POST back to the origin which is of course ridiculous.

It issues a PUT

„Also jemand hat einen Link geposted der über 7000 Zeichen lang war, was das theoretische Limit einer Datenbank-Indexierung weit überschreitet, doch Mastodon hat es als 23 Zeichen gewertet, weil es jeden Link als 23 Zeichen wertet, und bei der Version 4.1.x gab es noch kein maximales Link-Limit, weswegen das einfach so in die Datenbank geschrieben wurde, was der Fehler war an dem wir jetzt 7 Stunden arbeiten.”

Caligula is a user-friendly, lightweight TUI for imaging disks.

Small binary (few megabytes)
Cool graphs
Listing attached disks, and telling you their size and hardware model information
Rich confirmation dialogs so you don't accidentally nuke your filesystem
Decompressing your input file for a variety of formats, including gz, bz2, and xz
Validating your input file against a hash before burning, with support for md5, sha1, sha256, and more!
Running sudo/doas/su if you forgot to run as root earlier (it happens)
Verifying your disk after writing to make sure it was written correctly
Statically-linked on the Linux version
Did I mention cool graphs?

A fast, simple TUI for interacting with systemd services and their logs.

systemctl-tui can quickly browse service status and logs, and start/stop/restart services. It aims to do a small number of things well.

“do you know ascii code 7?”
“yea, that rings a bell.”

Well, today I learned that if you add the Ethernet header – 36 bytes – then an MTU of 1500 plus that header is 1536 bytes, which is 12288 bits, which takes 2^12 microseconds to transmit at 3Mb/second, and because the Xerox Alto computer for which Ethernet was invented had an internal data path that ran at 3Mhz, then you could just write the bits into the Alto’s memory at the precise speed at which they arrived, saving the very-expensive-then cost of extra silicon for an interface or any buffering hardware.
