there is a newcomer into the terminal file managers arena that looks like it's going to be what I was looking for https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi (sort of ranger/vifm written in rust, lots of momentum)


Hm. That sixel support does look really nice. It’s something I miss with vifm.


I had a project of baking in sixel support into nnn, but got too busy with other things :(


I just harvested my first mushrooms ever yesterday. This was not some fancy lab stuff, just put the mycelium in some got a couple of sq meters in my garden (dried leaves and such), keep it moist, and got a nice harvest. Like this guy does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TERv85b9krI


Anybody has some extension to change colors when background is black and text is white? I don't know if this is common or not, but I just cannot look at that for more than a few seconds, my eyes burn. I never found an extension for Chrome that fixed this.


Yes, you want DarkReader which is an extension available on most web browsers. Aside from being able to dark mode websites it has ways to complete customise the background and text colours. I am writing this with high contrast orange text on dark brown background on ios safari.

https://darkreader.org/


I'm using Reader mode on such sites, but some sites are structured in a way that only part of the text, if any, shows up in the Reader view.

I'm just hoping that sites with a fixed dark-mode design stay the minority because many of those that I've seen are horribly bad and literally hurt my eyes.


I’m not totally sure if this fully addresses your issue; but safari reader mode on all devices uses a gray text on black or dark grey backgrounds.


can you save different 'layouts' so you can load a different one in diff context?


No. It's pretty bare-bones. Save before a disconnect, restore after re-connect.

And it's hWnd based, so if the window handle ever changes it won't work. Also won't work for admin windows, unless run as an admin.

But it worked well enough for me.


Oh wow, the hwnd approach is an awesome idea! I suffer from a different issue - my monitor has a displayport and 2 hdmi inputs, and when you activate one of the hdmi inputs, the other sends a "monitor disconnected" signal to its host, which messes up the layout. It would be awesome to have an app that constantly remembers the layout, and once it detects a change in the number of monitors, or a resolution change, it stops doing it until the monitor returns, and it does, it restores windows to the saved places. Sounds easy enouch, and I'll probably create this app myself based on examples from your code.


I had wanted to do that, but when I created it I was using a proprietary ThinkPad dock and Windows 7, and I couldn't find an easy way to detect when connected/disconnected. Might be a way now with Win10 and Type-C docks.


I see you use multiple monitors, does Sizer play well with them? I discarded it cause I thought it did not support multimonitor setups well. My main use case is setting up some complex layout (in multimonitor), and be able to save it, and restore it when needed.


> I see you use multiple monitors, does Sizer play well with them?

It supports them well.

It has a drop down box where you can define the monitor you want for a specific entry and then window positions will be relative to that monitor.

Alternatively you can also set a window's position to any X / Y coordinate. So if you had let's say 2x 2560x14440 monitors and you wanted to position a window to the 2nd monitor you can tell Sizer to move it to X coordinate 3050 and it would be +500 pixels into the 2nd monitor. You just need to enable the checkbox "allow move outside screen bounds". That could be useful I guess if you wanted a window to span more than 1 monitor and you have super thin bezels.


I would mention Total commander and Quick Access Popup as two well known ones, but two gems that I see are undiscovered are:

- TouchCursor https://martin-stone.github.io/touchcursor/ the only one I found that allows you to use Space as modifier key, and works flawlesly (with other ahk scripts handling hotkeys running simultaneously). Praying it does not stop working with some Win10 update, as it is not being worked one, it seems

- https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck for more mouse free operation of any program.


Interesting link about TouchCursor.

Personally I prefer to use left alt key instead of space key, as I can hold down the left alt with minimal effort (right alt takes over the duty of left). For this to cause minimal conflict, I use Sharpkey to remap physical left alt to e.g. F16 at the OS level, then define the desired behavior for F16 in ahk.


used consolas so far, tried Iosevka but felt like something was off, this Agave thing is great!! Thanks!


not just 'someone', the creator of Elasticsearch


Color me embarassed heh.

Pretty awesome though.


I used the web version to track swimming, workout etc, now it's gone. They let you export your data (waiting for mine)...anyone knows of a good replacement (with web version), that ideally allows to import Runtastic data?


my setup is two 27" vertical monitors for the desktop, and to the left a 19" vertical for the laptop, and then the laptop. Couldn't be happier
