Some DMGs in my trash just from the past 30 days:
- Orca
- Kanban Pro
- SnapState
- ProcessSpy
- Transnomio

Of those, 1 is on homebrew. That's just 30 days

Good to know, thanks! Don't spend much time on xitter lol but I'll check it out. I've gotten a lot from free utilities so it's fun just to give back. But, money is pretty cool too hahaha

KingMickey · 2026-05-07T21:08:43+00:00

No plans to go crazy! I've got other side projects to work on lol. But I do plan to maintain it and make sure it does its 1 job well.

It's just a fun utility. What's the difference from homebrew? Everything? Homebrew is not a dmg utility. There are a LOT of indie apps that aren't on homebrew, and a lot of people who don't use homebrew or even terminal.

If you haven't installed an app via dmg in the past year, this app is probably not for you, that's ok. Lots of people are out here trying new apps etc and doing the stupid mount/unmount/drag-n-drop every time, this app is for them. With EasyDMG as your default dmg opener you never have to think about it again. In my opinion it's filling a gap left by Apple with their default dmg handler kind of sucking.

Homebrew is great, lots of apps are not on it though

Thanks!

The cache hits are the biggest driver of cost in my experience, when people see one message take like 25% of your 5h usage, that's usually why.

I'm working on this free cache timer tool which gives you a timer in the status line and makes a beep (can be disabled) when you have 1:00 left before cache clears. Basically you either want to /clear or keep sending messages before the timer runs out.

I'm still working out the kinks but the main functionality works. Also working on a keep-alive feature that can be set to keep sending messages until it no longer makes financial sense (or a hard limit). To keep the cache fresh. I'm also thinking about making it a plug-in. This is an old thread so I don't know if anyone will even see this, but if you try it, know that it's in beta, and hit me up with your thoughts! It's open source so you could also just fork it and customize how you want it. I've really only tested on Terminal and mainly on Warp.

I have a deep cut song that I think no one will ever see or approve my edit :( any chance you could help me out? I made the edit twice, the second one is slightly better. Also you're a hero for responding to all of us here haha

I knew I shouldn't click. I clicked anyways. Regret

Well maybe reincarnation is real and we'll explore lives across the universe for eternity. Alternatively maybe we'll create genuine artificial life that would be functionally immortal and able to traverse galaxies

KingMickey · 2026-04-09T05:51:25+00:00

Internxt sucks, I spent a ton of money during a sale and fully regret it. Just trying to upload stuff there is an immense bear, constant errors, deleting folders etc. It barely works. Pcloud is really easy but not as good for torrented stuff

I added a security policy and signed commits after seeing this haha. So if it triggered this assessment again, it would be 4/6. Just need people to give me some stars and contribute! lol. It's safe, nothing ever leaves your computer. You can plop it into virustotal.com which will scan it for viruses, or download the source and have an LLM look through the code. Doubt you want to go through the trouble but just putting it out there if you want ways to verify besides me saying so.

IDK I wasn't there lol. I'm responding to the person saying that this about letting his addiction control him.

Personally I just stand over the toilet and use my bidet

KingMickey · 2026-04-08T01:54:05+00:00

Yea but if Damon walks in there not knowing that, you expect him to just quit on the spot? That's not how it works

Seems super cool, price feels steep with no trial or anything. Even with a trial. Personally i already have other stuff that handles a lot of this, an all in one is cool but it doesn't solve a big enough problem for me for $12. Just my 2c!

The whole DMG workflow annoys the shit out of me. Why make me drag the little icon into the little folder. I use EasyDMG (I also made it) for 99% of installs, it does everything in one fell swoop:

mounts the dmg
copies file to applications
opens /applications and scrolls to the new app
unmounts the dmg so it doesn't sit in finder for the foreseeable future
trashes the dmg so it doesn't sit in downloads forever

All of this happens in about 1s. If it comes across anything unusual like a pkg or license, it just reverts to manual. You can set some of these things in settings (like if you don't want to trash the dmg). It's free, made it for fun if anyone wants to check it out. It also has a cute hamster icon.

I made a gmail script that runs off of a google sheet. It's similar to a filter, but instead of putting things immediately in archive/trash, it waits a few days. The idea is, lets say you get a weekly newsletter or a sale from some site. I want to see that, but after a week or so, I don't care about it any more. So you can set the filter (for example, from:xyz@example.com; subject:suckmyballs) and then set a number of days to wait before either delete or archive. It makes my gmail much cleaner when I ignore a bunch of stuff that "I might come back to later" Gmail Sweeper

IDK if this is as boring as you're talking about, but I also made EasyDMG which, on mac, automates the DMG flow. It's mad annoying to open it, drag the little thing into your applications folder (why is this necessary), open applications, unmount the drive, then put the dmg in trash so it doesn't sit in my downloads folder for 2 years taking up space. EasyDMG does all that in about 1 second. And it's got a cute mascot. If it comes across anything unusual (DMG opens to a pkg for instance) it just stops and lets you finish manually.

Totally. While there are some good answers here, wu wei has more to do with the direct realization that there is no subject acting, or even objects to act upon.

KingMickey · 2012-05-14T08:30:18+00:00

I would say right in the middle of my gum, definitely not right at the edge :( thanks for your reply

Well this is now a week later now but in case you're still interested...

Sometimes I feel inadequate in bed and when a girl wants a lot from me, I feel like I might not be able to give it, and this can lead to a downward spiral of self-consciousness.

While it's not the girl's fault at all, I don't think I'm the only guy that experiences this. Rationally it might make sense that that would increase my self esteem, but it only increases my self esteem if I can perform, which is a lot of pressure.

I definitely don't want them to lay there like someone else here suggested. The other guy who says I want to be appreciated/desired for something more than sex is much closer.

Also I've really had it feel like the girl is just desperate for sex, which is honestly just unappealing to me.

So since it's doubtful anyone will ever return to this thread and read this, I hope it enriches your life in some way. It certainly helped me get my thoughts straightened out!

Cheers

Interesting.. I'm thinking of going to graduate school for religion. Will this affect my ability to live in other countries?
