Ghostty – The Fast GPU-Accelerated Terminal Emulator for Linux and macOS

2025-01-012025-01-01 Danie
The image shows a computer screen displaying system information and code. In the foreground, various system metrics are shown, including CPU and memory usage, network activity, and running processes. The background shows a terminal window with what seems to be a JSON configuration file, along with other system-related information, including the operating system version and kernel details. The overall theme is dark, with a colour scheme predominantly consisting of dark greys and greens. The terminal screen is also divided into different panes, with different information inside each pane.

Ghostty is an open source and cross-platform terminal emulator created by Mitchell Hashimoto, the co-founder of HashiCorp. Hashimoto’s goal with Ghostty was clear: to build a terminal emulator that is fast, feature-rich, and provides a […]

Most users don’t own their social profiles nor domain names or any other presence on the Internet

2025-01-012025-01-01 Danie
The image shows a house key being offered and being accepted by another. There is a large red circle and line superimposed on the image, symbolizing a prohibition or cancellation of such a transaction. In the foreground are two hands, one offering a key with a small house charm, and the other trying to receive it. The background features a blurry but clearly visible "SOLD" sign, suggesting a real estate transaction. The colour of the “SOLD” sign seems to be purposefully off, giving it a faded look, as if it's been there for a while.

I’m busy listening to episode 147 Tornado of the Darknet Diaries podcast, where there was some interesting commentary about what we think we “own”, especially on the Internet. We register a profile on X, Facebook, […]

If Online Grammar Checks Concern You, Run Your Own Private Grammarly Clone Using Docker and LanguageTool

2025-01-012025-01-01 Danie
The image shows a robot sitting at a typewriter inside what appears to be a futuristic vehicle or control station. The background is a plain, light gray wall, suggesting a sterile, possibly industrial setting. The foreground is dominated by the robot and its workstation, with a small, dark gray floor visible at the bottom. The vehicle itself seems to be made of a light-colored, possibly metallic material. There is a small gray cabinet to the left of the robot, and a smooth, curved console to the right.

I can’t see any feature advantages with this apart from all your checking being done locally. So for really privacy conscious folks, this may be a big plus to host this service on your own […]

5 reasons you should use Markdown for documentation and notetaking

2025-01-012025-01-01 Danie
The image shows a spiral notebook with lined paper. In the foreground, there's a cartoon hand holding a pencil, seemingly about to write something on the notebook. To the right, there's another pencil and the word 'NOTES' playfully written. The background features a soft gradient of purple and pink, reminiscent of a dreamy, pastel sky, with some small stars scattered across it. The 'M' symbol combined with the downward arrow inside the box is a symbol for Markdown.

A good reminder again about the future-proofed nature of Markdown format notes. They are essentially plain text and will be read my many apps well into the future. Also true that Markdown’s “shortcuts” for headings, […]

Bringing OpenStreetMap Data Into Minecraft

2024-12-312024-12-31 Danie
The image shows a city scene, in the style of a Minecraft video game. In the foreground, there is a wide road with crosswalks and what looks like a bus stop or a small transit station. The background is dominated by skyscrapers of varying heights and colors, showcasing a mix of architectural styles. There are green spaces visible between some of the buildings, hinting at parks or planned landscaping.

Over the years, dedicated gamers have created incredible recreations of real (and not so real) locations and structures within the confines of Minecraft. Thanks to their efforts, you can explore everything from New York City […]

Microsoft claims its new Windows 11 Xbox popups aren’t ads, merely “options you can purchase”

2024-12-312024-12-31 Danie
A Lenovo laptop is open on a light brown wooden table, showcasing a webpage about Windows 10's 10th anniversary. The background subtly reveals a portion of a living room, including what seems to be a grey couch and a wooden floor. In the foreground, besides the laptop, there is also a red Nintendo-branded water bottle with a slightly worn-out label.

With Windows 11 slowly receiving more and more ads across its system, people are getting a little tired of seeing new ones pop up. Over the past few days, some users have spotted ad pop-ups […]

Dolibarr is open source ERP and CRM for businesses

2024-12-282024-12-28 Danie
The image shows a dashboard with various charts and graphs related to business data. The foreground is dominated by a detailed overview of sales orders, invoices, projects, and other business metrics. The background shows a menu bar with options like 'Home', 'Members', 'Products', and 'Services', along with a user profile picture in the top right corner suggesting a business management or accounting software interface. The dashboard seems to be used for monitoring and managing various aspects of a company's business operations, including sales performance, project management, and financial data. The details are quite granular, down to the number of pending invoices and project phases.

Dolibarr ERP & CRM is a modern software package that helps manage your organisation’s activities (contacts, quotes, invoices, loan management, orders, stocks, agenda, human resources, ECM, manufacturing, point of sale, payment platforms linking, reporting…). It’s […]

How to test if a self-hosted Alby Hub wallet is connected, and to get an alert if not

2024-12-272024-12-27 Danie
The image shows a computer screen displaying a configuration interface, for setting up a service monitor. The foreground is dominated by various input fields and dropdown menus related to HTTP requests, JSON queries, and notification settings. In the background, there are sections for setting up proxy servers and notification preferences. The overall design is dark-themed and clean. The URL in the input field suggests an interaction with an API related to Alby Wallet.

For those using a self-hosted Alby Hub that hosts their Lightning Network Wallet to send/receive sats on the Nostr network, it is crucial that the connected wallet stays online. If not, the user cannot make […]

Absolute Essentials You Need to Know to Survive Vi Editor

2024-12-262024-12-26 Danie
The image shows a computer screen displaying a VIM editor. The foreground is dominated by text providing information about VIM, its version, and a plea to help children in Uganda. The background consists of a dark-colored theme with a simple menu bar at the top, showing standard options like 'New Tab', 'Split View', 'Copy', and 'Paste'. The overall setting appears to be a text-based interface, typical of a Linux or Unix-like operating system.

The most common question most people ask about the vi editor is: How do I exit vi? The joke answer goes: “You don’t. You learn to live with it.” but the serious answer is to […]

LosslessCut is an open source cross-platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video and audio files

2024-12-262024-12-26 Danie
Screenshot of a video editing screen showing an image in the centre. Below it is a timeline with a number of cuts on it. The image shows a breathtaking view of a serene coastal landscape, likely somewhere in Norway, judging by the rugged cliffs and clear water. In the foreground, a person sits alone on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. The background features a picturesque bay, with mountains rising majestically in the distance. The water is a calm, light blue, and the land is a mix of green vegetation and bare rock.

LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross-platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle, and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and […]
