Why?In a d*ck move Spotify decided to impose restrcitions in their free version that they have for the rest of the world: 6 skips per hour, no add to queue, only shuffly playback and tons of annoying ads (earlier it was 1 ad per 30 mins).

Hi I am a backend developer for almost a decade and mostly work on Windows servers; when it comes to deploy the internal tools and web application. For redis we have to spin a another VM in hypervisor just to run Redis. For local development I have to install heavy ass docker desktop or run a parallel operating system(WSL) just to run teeny tiny redis server. Some alternatives exist already...

Re:Aurin: AUR Packages Installer from AUR Website in 1 Click on Monday January 31, 2022 @12:49PM (#30151236)
I am presenting the first working preview of the tool I created to install AUR packages directly from the AUR website. I named it Aurin and it adds an "Install Now" button on AUR package page to install it in a click.

After receiving a few suggestions on r/linux, I implemented it as an applciation handler protocol instead of a continuous running daemon. Also, the "Install Now" button is added to the View PKGBUILD page instead of the main, as some people pointed out that could be dangerous. So, you can now read the PKGBUILD before installing the package.
