Yeah same here! I dont pay them any money but I still have an account there. For awhile I let my domains sit there until I realized that it was cheaper to move them to Cloudflare
Re:Omarchy Is Not A Distro on Sunday May 24, 2026 @01:14PM (#48259113)
For those here that are old enough to remember Knoppix I think there are some similar things happening here. There were similar theads about Knoppix not being a distro for those who installed to their hdd using the live cd. But there was also clear demand for what it offered.

I for one really liked the out-of-box Omarchy experience and wouldn't know the first thing right now about how to customize arch so that it feels the same as Omarchy. Maybe it's trivial? But honestly I don't care I just like Omarchy's default opinion design way better than any other distro I've tried so far.

I created https://github.com/jarv/newsgoat which is very similar to newsboat
It's more typical of that country and especially the balkans.

I've been hacking on a terminal-based RSS reader that is very similar to Newsboat but written in Go http://github.com/jarv/newsgoat
Re:Notes on Switching to Helix from Vim on Saturday October 11, 2025 @02:50PM (#45551609)
interesting! yeah I think the one file concept is really neat. Here are some more details about my config with the modular fork if you are curious https://jarv.org/posts/neovim-config/

The bloat of the neovim distributions are real and what I would suggest for anyone who is a long time vim user is to check out kickstart. https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim , specifically the modular fork https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim which will give you a great (minimal) starting point
Re:A deep dive into the RSS feed reader landscape on Wednesday October 08, 2025 @03:07PM (#45519487)
Here is a terminal based reader that I recently created as an alternative to newsboat https://github.com/jarv/newsgoat

It has some features that I felt was missing from the terminal based readers out there already.

This looks great, would definitely use it for testing if websocket support ever gets added https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl/issues/1096

very cool, I'll keep an eye on that project and try to connect with the author too
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025) on Monday May 26, 2025 @05:03AM (#44095446)
For fun over the weekend I started an ambitious project of creating a "pocket size" space trading game, inspired by a classic BBS door game called Trade Wars that I really loved as a kid. I'm keeping a development log to keep myself motivated and wrote the first post about it here https://jarv.org/posts/stardewar-v01/.
