I got tired of my terminal being painfully bright at night and impossible to read in daylight, so I built this small utility for Guake Terminal. It lets you save different color schemes and switch between them with simple commands like day and night.The main frustration it solves is keeping LSD (ls-deluxe) readable - yellow text on white backgrounds is a nightmare.

Here are a bunch of easy ones:

1. Don't write your passwords on paper next to your PC 2. Don't push production passwords to VC 3. Set up an e-mail spam filter 4. Follow the principle of least privilege

There's probably a bunch more and any decent LLM can give you a good starter list.

I've essentially set mine once and never gave it another thought.

I'm curious, do you use your font just in the editor or system wide? If the former, is the font bothering you in other applications?

For home use I'm currently testing out AdGuard Home as it comes as pre installed with the Flint 2 router. I can't get it to work on my phone so I don't see myself switching away from NextDNS any time soon.

He is saying that these tools aren't improving his dev process and therefore are not better for him.

Better is also such a subjective feeling - please either quantify the improvement or don't present it as an objective truth.

He very explicitly stated what about the post was off-putting to him. You made a comment about being personally attacked while repeating the tool is better without any argument whatsoever. You're exactly proving the point of the comment.

This may be a stupid question, but how is any value above 100% possible?
