Re:Atuin Threads: All your agent sessions on every machine on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @04:46PM (#50265551)
Love to hear that!

> Do you summarize the session, or convert it to the target harness's native format?

We convert to the native format. Our goal is to capture and convert as much data as we can.

> Is there a way to delete sessions, or exclude some from being stored in the first place?

Not currently, but we will have this very soon! I want to make sure it’s very clear to use and can be configured for a broad range of uses

If you give it a try, please let me know if you have any feedback or issues <3

Re:Show HN: Ledge.sh – Runnable Markdown Notes on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @04:50PM (#49914235)
(hi! I worked a lot on atuin desktop)

we saw a bunch of issues with desktop, in no particular order

1. authoring runbooks is difficult, most people barely document their work let alone make it executable

2. keeping runbooks up to date is difficult, they are error-prone across systems

3. agents are now pretty good at a number of the tasks these ideas solve for, and are good at working around issues caused by docs becoming out of date/etc

all these tools are great for your own notes, but are very difficult to scale

we actually have an mcp built on top of this that you can use, no problem!
Re:Small Programming Tricks on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @11:04PM (#49735935)
Ahh yes, we’ve done a lot of performance optimisation since then. We regularly test on >1m records and have no issues

Make sure you’re using the daemon (the install script will handle this) and you should be good to go

Very happy to help if you have any problems. Ellie at Atuin dot sh

yes, it's improved a lot in the last couple of years! what in particular bothered you?

Re:Thunderbird Littering My Home on Monday June 08, 2026 @05:33PM (#48452462)
Personally I have never been bothered by programs using my home folder. I don’t regularly ls the contents of it, and just browse by path from my shell anyway, so the clutter is barely visible to me
sure, but with unsafe Rust you have a very clear marking for the section of code that requires additional care and attention. it is also customary to include a "SAFETY" comment outlining why using unsafe is OK here

I wish it was easier to know which projects are in desperate need of funding because I love pgbackrest and totally would have donated here, and I suspect many others would have too :/
Re:Parallel Agents in Zed on Wednesday April 22, 2026 @02:44PM (#47867606)
> I imagine this will push some new users away

I suspect it will gain them more users than it will lose

Most other tools doing this are heavy, buggy, and built on electron

So Atuin actually runs postgresql on the server only - the part that handles sync for many users

On the client, it uses sqlite. As of recently, it also keeps an in-memory Nucleo index to make fuzzy searching much faster

> Codeberg is a German-based nonprofit organization, and it’s hard to imagine going wrong with this choice.

I like what they're doing, however Codeberg's 14 day uptime is _97.05%_. I've heard from many that downtime is normal there, and is worse than GitHub (which is already... bad). This makes them a non-starter imo, until that improves.

With the current trend of things going down all the time, the best way to compete is just to be available.

I’m not sure what you mean here - we never supported fzf, other than a super early prototype in like 2021

This release actually adds support for nucleo, which matches with the same algorithm as fzf and was a common request

Re:Waymo 13x safer than human drivers on Thursday March 19, 2026 @05:24PM (#47446396)
as a motorcyclist I often feel more comfortable riding near waymos

at this point I trust that they have seen me, know that I'm there, and won't behave unpredictably

this happens to me so often that I wonder if it's something YC suggest people do

40% battery for 4hrs of real work is better than pretty much any linux supported laptop I've ever used

Re:Atuin’s New Runbook Execution Engine on Sunday November 30, 2025 @07:08PM (#46101854)
The main difference otherwise is that Atuin stores much more data + syncs it

We shelled out to fzf in the very early days, but found the initial indexing to be a bit slower + add latency vs SQLite

Re:Atuin’s New Runbook Execution Engine on Friday November 28, 2025 @06:19PM (#46083685)
One of the main things we’re aiming to do here is make these manual processes much less manual! I’m a big believer in automating things gradually, which runbooks enable
