ghgrab is a TUI tool for downloading files from Git repos without cloning the whole repo. You can browse GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Forgejo repos, preview files, batch download folders, grab releases and more. Abhinav made ghgrab using @ratatui.rs & is Terminal Tool of the Week! ⭐️

Just added standard.site support to my own blog today. Also tried out pckt.blog, love the concept. I'm wondering if there's like an RSS reader equivalent for atproto-enabled blogs? Can we somehow bring back Google Reader and its social aspects with this?

Standard.site - One schema. Every platform.

Standard.site provides shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol. Making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere.

13 years ago today I made the first commit to the ESLint Git repo. It’s hard to believe that this project I cobbled together in my spare time over a couple of weeks is still going strong. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting over these years and the journey it’s been. A thread.

A birthday cake for ESLint, with candles of 1 and 3 at the top for 13 and the ESLint logo with "Happy birthday" on the side.

With the right skills, AI is great at finding vulnerabilities. Sentry developed Warden to automate this, and used Home Assistant as a test bed. Our admin/user role split has been a work in progress for years, and Warden just flagged all the places we missed. Neat! cra.mr/finding-vuln...

Finding Vulnerabilities with Warden

We found 100+ vulnerabilities with Warden across Sentry and a few big OSS repos—here’s how we scope skills, iterate locally, and run it on PRs.

I was looking for a way to reduce our binary size for Sentry CLI. It uses `bun --compile` which is quite large at ~100MB. After some research, realized that it ships with ~30MB ICU data for locale operations that we will never do.

Congress is debating a bill that would require platforms to police families’ online behavior, or face legal risk. The result will be more account lockouts, ID checks, and algorithmic mistakes—for both parents and kids.

Congress Wants To Hand Your Parenting to Big Tech

Instead of respecting how most parents guide their kids towards healthy and educational content, KOSMA hands the control panel to Big Tech. That’s right—this bill would take power away from parents, a...

Just realized I'm listening to 50-year old songs as my "teenager songs". Oh, it's 70s classical rock. Yup you feel old too now, I know.

Everytime I travel, I have to use my IEMs. Like them but finding good tips was always a struggle. I like foam tips the best but they get very itchy after a few hours and putting them in an out are a hassle. Foam tips are nice but they get slippy and fall out after 30 mins as my ears get warmer.

Next level DIY skill unlocked: modify an IKEA furniture using a hired mitre saw (which I have never used in my life), in my backyard. Complete with Crocs slippers and an old pair of Bose ANC headphones for ear protection.

Run `gh api -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" /repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PULL_ID/comments | jq '[ .[] | { diff_hunk, line, start_line, body } ]'` to get all comments. Build a todo list from these and finish it. Do not stop until you are done.

`spotlight mcp tools/list` `spotlight mcp tools/call get_local_errors --args '{"timeWindow": 60}'` Useful? Not useful? Don't even know what I'm talking about?
