Ironic, considering that FoodWishes has been on Blogspot forever. Blogspot (Google) could auto-generate it on the fly.

I had never tried footclient. Thank you for the correction.

This can be done through Nautilus scripts.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

ghostty --working-directory=$(pwd)

> cat ~/.config/nautilus/scripts-accels

<Ctrl><Shift>F4 Ghostty

- It looks good. Or more correctly, it is easy to make it look good. If one spends a lot of time in the Terminal emulator, it looking good has some positives.

- It uses plain text configuration that is easy to modify and version control.

Edit: - At least on Linux, foot's support for windows and tabs is limited to starting an entirely new process.

The D in DVCS working as expected.

The article is good, but I am more impressed by how the author has been posting every day since May 12th, 2008.
Re:Personal blogs are back, should niche blogs be next? on Saturday November 22, 2025 @06:21PM (#46019247)
My old blog posts come up in the first page of search results for niche topics a lot, and it is very satisfying when someone reaches out to say that they benefited from it.

On a side note, after writing frequently for ~12 years, I didn't write anything for the next 6. This discussion came at the right time - it nudged me to publish two posts yesterday.

Lodge, the American maker of cast-iron cookware is a possibility.

Their JS in not minified, you may want to take a look.

Re:Show HN: Gist Blog - Share gists as reader friendly pages on Tuesday October 01, 2013 @09:57PM (#6480178)
May be blog is not the right name for it. This is useful in a situation where you want to write something quickly without going to the lengths of publishing a full blog post and then want to share with someone who is not in to Gists and GitHub.

Also, see http://gist.io where I took the idea from.

Cheers.

This has existed for ages in the form of GNU Screen. (Or Byobu, if you want a variation with bells and whistles.)
Re:Your top 100 unix commands, for science on Sunday May 19, 2013 @03:00PM (#5734013)
I did history | grep -v "=" | .... to ensure that commands where I specified environment variables are ignored.
The method I have found to stop tracking is to use /etc/hosts to block all traffic to sites that I don't want anything to do with including Facebook and their CDNs. I based it around https://github.com/leto/Util/blob/master/config/etc/hosts.bl... and have added more tracker/advertisement domains as I have encountered them.
Re:Why developers are leaving the Facebook platform on Tuesday April 23, 2013 @01:42AM (#5593479)
I am curious to know in what way have you felt that the Facebook way of rendering your app in an iframe restricts the user experience?
Re:Facebook Home on Thursday April 04, 2013 @08:33PM (#5496167)
I have a Samsung Note 2, from Verizone. While it came with a lot of apps I don't want (like the NHL app), it did not have the FB app.

I got a <video> tag as well. Firefox on Mac OS X.
