Same energy as blaming an intern for dropping your production table. If one entity can delete all your data, that’s on your systems not them
I use brave browser on iOS which has a feature to block YouTube shorts. It’s clearly a cat and mouse as YouTube keeps changing the selector but works 95% of the time
Re:Rift: Better Alternative to Git Worktrees on Monday June 01, 2026 @06:43AM (#48355052)
Digging in I now see how btrfs will also copy over non git tracked files, e.g. target/ dir. this is super nice actually.
Re:Rift: Better Alternative to Git Worktrees on Monday June 01, 2026 @06:34AM (#48354978)
Currently it just sounds like an alternative to work trees, but with no explanation on how it’s better. Seems early stages, use of btrfs is cool, but unsure why I’d use this right now
Re:Omarchy Is Not A Distro on Sunday May 24, 2026 @12:57PM (#48258957)
Strongly disagree with this post. And I am not a DHH fan.

The biggest problem with Linux as a desktop gaining more popularity is the learning curve. In our bubble, you might not want any software installed and want your first install to barely have a desktop environment, but the average Joe wants their browser, music player and password manager ready to go. If omarchy is nothing but a gateway drug to making leaving windows much easier then I am all for it, even if we bikeshed about whether or not it’s a distributed (I agree it’s not). Once you have it installed you can customise just as much as you would any other “distribution”, it just makes that first step that bit easier. Linux, if it wants to win the war, needs to make it easier for new folks to onboard. The winning desktop distributions (omarchy, cachyos etc) make onboarding easy.

Show HN: Pertmux – A TUI to unify your coding agents, MRs and worktrees

https://github.com/rupert648/pertmux

Hey HN!Since terminal coding agents took over my workflow, I've been juggling more worktrees and MRs than ever — constantly switching between GitLab/GitHub dashboards, tmux sessions, and git worktrees. Agents would sit idle, MRs needed rebasing, and I'd miss it all while focused on my main task.Hence I built Pertmux. It's a Rust TUI (shout out to ratatui — http://ratatui.rs) that links...

this will have to compile to something tho? So there will always be code
very nice, lovely tui. Does it support viewing the diff of unstaged files? I tend to do a lot of commit amending locally so would be nice if I could see the status of these before I amend the commit

Show HN: I made a mini site to see timezone shifts

https://tz.pert.dev

Hey HN. I made a micro site one recent evening to see upcoming (and recent past) timezone transitions. At my job, we have some timezone specific code where we often see spikes in metrics due to random timezone shifts around the world. Just for fun, I wanted a way to easily see where and what this timezone shift might have been, so built this mini site to do so.Its fully clientside and works by...

Re:You might not need tmux on Friday August 01, 2025 @06:06AM (#44754827)
This doesn’t sound like a “you might not need tmux” argument. It more just argues than tmux is a pita on the terminal ecosystem which I’m sure is true. But the workarounds described are just reimplementing tmux features by taping together a bunch of tools. A better argument I think is - a lot of people do need tmux, so perhaps we should rethink protocols etc to make many of these features more native
Re:Willdolater.dev – find ancient todo comments on Saturday April 12, 2025 @12:59PM (#43666106)
Hey HN!

I recently spent a weekend building this fun little project when a friend and I were comparing legacy codebases we'd worked on. I had the sudden idea that it would be funny to compile old TODO comments to see who else procrastinates tech debt as much as some we've seen.

The site is pretty slow; namely cloning and git blaming on repos with a large git history is naturally slow. If anyone has any fun hacks to make this more efficient - the code for this is open source! https://github.com/rupert648/willdolater.dev

Show HN: Reqbin.zip, minimalist and developer friendly pastebin

https://www.reqbin.zip/

Hey HN! I built a modern pastebin because I got tired of pastebins that look like they were designed when Myspace was still cool. ReqBin is built on the T3 Stack (Next.js, Tailwind, tRPC, Prisma) with encryption at rest and a clean UI that won't make your eyes bleed. It also features multiple shortcuts with the hope of making using the website a smoother experience. Feedback is appreciated!I...

its an open source alternative to github, not git
