  • Go for the fun, but your issue is a non issue. I use Zola (built with Rust) and it is very very fast. A full build of ~200 pages takes ~2s and in dev mode, changes are reflected almost instantly.

  • Is it me, or does Linux Mint have terrible file search?

    Jump

  • If you're a GUI guy, catfish is good. If you're a term guy, fzf, rg, fd are very fast and powerful. I search for files in / (meaning EVERYTHING) and tge results are there in less than 10 seconds.

    This blog post has some example usages, read the entries for fzf, rg and fd.

  • I always do it. Getting thrown into another website forces you to switch context entirely, and also is a privacy and security right of the user to know they are going to be moved somewhere else.

  • I dont know how these work, but why do they never use kiosk for these? They boot up a whole operating system with everything just to loop a video?

  • Movim is also an option. Based on XAMPP.

  • Well... I am a very hairy nerdy guy. What does the collaboration workflow look like? The end result should be simple because my teammates aren't hairy nerdy guys :))

  • Thank you! Sorry for the cloud error, the server's origin website is hosted in my country Iran, which is currently in a semi-blackout and very bad internet distruptions. Very sad.

    You might see the blog if you try a couple times more, I can see it with most VPNs.

    I completely agree with your points. I'm stating the same sentiment in the blog.

    I prefer GUIs for two things:

    1. Things that are inherently graphical (gimp, blender, etc)
    2. Things that I don't use very often, and the GUI is too simple to be bothered with a cli.

  • I love babashka and the clojure ecosystem so much. Truly amazing.

    I also love cli and tuis! So this might be heaven!

  • Nobody likes to talk about how almost everything is blocked from Iran. Not just as of late, but for years.

    sanctioning intellectual resources and knowledge really must be illegal. I can understand it for proprietary things. But FOSS stuff being unavailable? That is pure hypocrisie.

  • This is quite vague to be honest. What does it do?

  • Ooh thanks! I was really looking to forward to such additions!

  • Totally agreed!

  • Exactly. I'm on the exact same boat, the blog post is the proof! :D

  • Yeah browsers are the main GUI I use. w3m is great for reading blogs and those types of things but like you say, not the best experience for most things. And we can't really blame it on them, the modern web is horribly written most of the time.

  • Oh yeah that is a VERY BIG rabbit hole :))

    One hour only scratches the surface though. But I really like the git email workflow. It's so simple (not easy) and pure. If my colleagues could get on board with me I would definitely be using it at work.

  • Great point. But to be honest I already have an emulator open 99% of the time. So there's no particular overhead for me. But I will include your point in the update. Thank you for your time!
