I'm dipping into Elixir/Phoenix once more!
This ecosystem is so nice for building web thingies really quickly

A little bit more about Atuin Desktop 👀
What if runbooks could run?
We could build them from shell history, avoid endless copy-paste-edit, and share them with our team
All locally, on a developer's laptop:

I really wish GitHub issues/Discord had the moderation features of a early 2000s phpbb forum

Hello Ghostty!
Looks pretty nice out of the box
I can already tell that the inspector is going to be INCREDIBLY useful 😍😍😍

>10,000 users syncing ~150mil lines of shell history 🚀
Less than 18 months ago, we didn't even have 1000 users. Let's see what the next 18mo brings!

"Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live"
- overused
- negative
- unnecessarily violent
"Always code as if your code will be showcased in a prominent blog"
- fresh perspective
- motivating instead of terrifying
- pleasant and wholesome
A fantastic post from Julia Evans here! https://jvns.ca/blog/2024/07/08/readline/
I never thought that giant ugly match thing Atuin has would be linked to from a famous blog 😂

I now block several known LLM crawlers from my site

If you ever find yourself writing an issue comment like
> any news?
> plz add
> this is a dealbreaker
Please... don't. Give the op a 👍, and move on. It'll show up when maintainers sort by reactions, and avoids mildly unpleasant emails in our inboxes.

2024-04-23 10:09:22

More than 110m lines of shell history stored in @npub1vwh…szjh cloud 🤯
Over 40% of it from the past 3 months 🚀

Atuin v18.2 is out now!
https://blog.atuin.sh/atuin-v18-2/
This release is a little lighter than 18.1, partly because I was out sick, and partly because we've been focusing on something big for a later release.
I've put a sneak peek at the bottom of the post!

2024-04-05 14:03:52

it's my birthday on Monday and I'm pretty sure my last birthday was only a couple of months ago? what happened 😭

2024-03-27 11:27:27

I’ve had flu recently and am still at home, recovering. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this tired and crappy before

@npub1a8d…d7w3 maybe imapsync? I think that can work with gmail if you enable IMAP in settings

2024-03-13 12:25:21

Serverless replaced servers ✅
Crypto replaced money ✅
LLMs replaced developers ✅
Will tech go to the gym for me next?

@npub1a8d…d7w3 I've definitely been thinking of Homebrew here! Thanks for all the prior art :D

2024-03-12 11:45:52

touchy subject! but does anyone have any examples of telemetry in open source projects that has been done well?
success criteria:
1. allow the project to allocate time to things people actually use
2. identify issues people may have, as not everyone files issues or can effectively report a bug
3. preserves privacy + anonymity, and isn't creepy
eg right now I'd love to know what config/features people actually use, so I can stop maintaining what isn't necessary

@npub198t…hasj I read that as modern cats, and spent a good few seconds wondering why a Honda Jazz was more cat-proof than the alternative
I think I should log off for the day 🤣

A new version of Atuin is out now!
https://blog.atuin.sh/release-v18-1/
v18.1 brings
- shell alias syncing
- search by regex
- history prune
- ...much more
thank you so much to everyone who contributed, you're the best :atuin: @npub1vwh…szjh #atuin

Blows my mind how many people identify a solution and then try to discover a problem they can fit it to

2024-03-01 10:07:56

It’s pretty cool to be using a social thing that’s probably still going to be around in a similar form, 10yrs from now
Especially one that isn’t trying to become a 15s-video-addiction-machine 🙏

I once lost a keyboard to a can of redbull and I really hope that never happens again 😭

“What’s the benefit of split keyboards”
This. This is the main one.

this thingy is cool!
borrowing from a friend right now to compare it with my moonlander, but I like how small it is.
I think I prefer it, but will know for sure in a couple weeks

2024-02-28 08:39:38

can anyone who recently learned to code recommend any resources?
I get asked by friends and family often, but I was making my first steps quite a while ago now.
The resources available today are very different, and I didn't learn in a particularly structured way anyway.
Maybe if all these interactive courses/etc had been around I'd have done it differently

@npub188q…3jlx very nice! I was wondering where all the new Atuin users were coming from

2024-02-25 12:47:34

I’d love it if AI made my life easier, but so far
1. Package managers that are straight up misrepresenting my work
2. Chat bots advising people how to use my software incorrectly
3. PRs that just don’t quite feel right

2024-02-23 22:36:18

I’m definitely not the nerdiest in my family 🤣
Just got to my parents house and dad shows me this 🤩

It saddens me how much knowledge is locked away in Discord servers, and will absolutely vanish within 5yrs
Forums from 20yrs ago still show up as useful for me from time to time

2023-12-19 23:04:57

I was wondering where all the signups were coming from, and it seems @npub1vwh…szjh got a mention in @npub1e6x…zd8d's "coolest code" for July ❤️

Would anyone like to read my copy of this book? I’m happy to post it to you, at no cost. I very much enjoyed it!
My only request is that once you’re finished with it, you pass it on to someone else. And request that they do the same (and so on)!

honestly out of all the possible opinions I thought I'd get for a generic “418" handler on atuin server, this is not one of them
