for those interested, the git server i'm using is legit by icyphox: https://github.com/icyphox/legit

i talk with icyphox sometimes & he's great. i'll bring this up & see if there's interest!!

could you elaborate on this a bit? it sounds like an interesting idea but i’m afraid i couldn’t grasp it

feels like an AI generated article, has a ton of listicle-like content. has a ton of references to paid software. just gonna ignore this one

to anyone doubting: kagi really is that good. it has completely replaced my google usage - i haven't used google.com to search for anything in months. feels so good!!

damn bro u out here just dropping names like this for free??? that's a $10k idea

this is a good example of a preemptive design choice. it's almost always better to optimize for success today, not for success in the future. imo a name like "slab", or even literally "dumb tv" would be much more effective.

what an incoherent article. the points about child abuse and climate change came out of nowhere, and suck from the energy of their main idea. it felt meandering, and fear-mongering. i wish they'd have spent more time on "what we don't know about how AI is trained."

a mental exercise for the doomsayers: if stackoverflow + search engines were invented today, would you be saying the same stuff? it's clear to me that chatgpt is an programmer accelerator, not a replacement. it's just another tool - a very good one at that.

90% of programming is communicating with other people - chatgpt can't talk to people.

glad u like it! :3

writing code is like 10% of what most people in tech do. this will impact startups the most. but GPT-N can't have a conversation for you.

> I figured if people are going to get angry at me, I might as well get paid for it.

omg i know right, every time a post of mine winds up on the hn frontpage for a second the comments are all like "actually you're wrong and this thing you worked so hard on is very stupid, please delete this now, also please feel bad, thank you for absolutely nothing"

it reminds me of playing magic the gathering in 2008 - the 14 year olds at the shop (of which i was one) would always talk this way (arrogant & mean) about each others decks.

having a confident contrarian opinion is fun. and everyone loves an underdog. but it's extreme here :/

shell is loose and offers a lot of power per line, so it’s pretty easy to make a spaghetti nightmare. but it’s very possible to write nice shell.

i dunno about testing it, i feel like that’s getting pretty close to the barrier of shell’s utility

this is just an ad tbh

this is just an app popularity list. the more popular an app is, the more ppl will want to delete it. don't draw weird conclusions about the data

curious: did you recently monetize your blog? i just got an ad, i’m pretty sure that hasn’t happened before.

this has been known forever, very inflammatory article imo.

> So I really should of complained that this fact was not made very clear to the user

how could i have made this more clear? what would you like to see?

yep! pa has absolutely no problem with that.

wow, extremely cool, ty! i'm excited to play with kbs2 when i find a little free time.

very true, and thank you for pointing this out. this is an intentional design decision - you can see me rationale here: https://j3s.sh/thought/storing-passwords-with-age.html

it boils down to exactly what you noted - disk access is game over in most cases anyways, and i like the convenience of plaintext on the disk.

i will be exploring the yubikey model that filippo recently outlined though https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/passage/ - so stay tuned! :D

for what it's worth, the pa -> browser input "integration" feels a lot better than you'd think, but takes a little bit of effort to setup.

check out the contrib/ dir for some supported programs - get one of those in your $PATH, and set up a hotkey to launch it.

now, whenever you press the hotkey, a list of your passwords will show up, which you may type to filter. when you press return, the password you selected will be automatically typed into whatever you have highlighted, whether it's a password field in a browser, or vim. the neat thing is that the password never touches your clipboard since it's typed directly by either wtype or xdotool.

the workflow really only takes a second or two once you have it setup, and feels very nice, imo!

I use a git repo to keep my passwords synced - then I have a shell alias that makes a commit and pushes it. pretty simple!

I have thought about adding git support directly to pa, but I think it's out of scope.

this made me laugh, thank you :D

thx for the feedback, i may try to be more subtle about sentence placement in my next post.

aww, thank you! sorry it wasn't quite what you were after, but i'm glad i gave you a little joy.

thank you! :3

.io domains = bad is something that has come up over and over again in my tech circles. i thought it'd be nice to have a sort of poetic & fun overview about why people feel the way they do. i had fun writing it too!

wow, thanks a lot for this! i'll look into it later - i didn't know that you could specify character width with the max-width param. neat!

tbh, i hope so!
