Re:Stinkpot: SQLite-Backed Shell History on Sunday July 26, 2026 @04:01AM (#49055790)
is there a particular reason why i'd want sqlite-backed shell history? i mean sure it works but why not a text file? (which i'd assume is somewhat faster because you can just append)

i guess you could say it's because you may want dates for each command but for that you can just use a CSV or TSV file no?

does it have to do with the searching?

seems to only have session agnostic history and a TUI for searching it, because the author didn't want all the features atuin offers. only 400 LOC too, pretty neat

I’ve never heard of a metacompressor before, what others exist?
I generally think stuff like that make the web much more interesting.

In this case it was distracting though.
