Oh wow :) thank you for cmux, it's a great project!

The code is here: https://code.pecheny.me/pecheny/cmux or if you prefer github, https://github.com/alexander-pecheny/cmux

I think I only added two features, pasting images over mosh (ssh already worked but not mosh) and a compact version of sidebar.

The story behind the fork is: I had a bug with raycast, filed a PR that fixed it for me https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/pull/2435, a different fix made it into next release that for me didn't work. Maybe the problem was on my side, but at this point it was easier to fork the working version than debug further.

Not sarcasm at all. I think you might overestimate the time and effort needed for this. When you maintain a _personal_ fork with no users except yourself, you only ever need to change something when you encounter a bug or need a new feature.

E.g. I have personal forks of mosh and cmux, each took maybe 1 hour of my time total?

I found this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49156111 resonating with me, except I obviously don't do stuff like "nightly cron to sync with main", I just never touch the code unless it breaks or I want a new feature.

why “find” an alternative? if you’re a herdr user you’re perfectly capable of maintaining a fork just for yourself :)

The content is nice and insightful! But God I wish people stopped using LLMs to 'improve' their prose... Ironically, some day we might employ LLMs to re-humanize texts that had been already massacred.

To get rid of pointers, you can add

  tonsky.me##div.pointers
to your uBlock Origin's custom filters list.

Sorry, I don't get it. The secret key has to be stored somewhere, right? If it's on the server, the attacker gets it together with the vault. If it's on the client, then you lose your phone → you lose your passwords, which is, while secure, very risky and I wouldn't expect it from a company focused on regular customers.
