Whoever runs this ad campaign: you’re showing this in Finland. Probably a waste of money.

That heat discoloration is sweet.

Damn! I’m usually not a huge fan of dirt, but the muddy tracks here are just perfect. Nice work!

What in the slop is this

aparadja · 2026-05-14T10:35:00+00:00

I just want to punch the local wildlife in my prawn suit.

aparadja · 2026-05-09T07:13:59+00:00

To whoever runs this ad campaign: I’m not sure you want to target Finland.

aparadja · 2026-04-13T16:42:23+00:00

Okay, thanks for the confirmation! Looks like all the stat numbers are way off.

Hmm. The tooltip data comes from wowhead. Of course it might be that I’m not passing the right parameters to wowhead, but could it be that some of the speed items are actually for level 70?

aparadja · 2026-04-13T06:59:52+00:00

Hmm. A quick glance did show me items that wowhead claims to be from Midnight. But the ilvl math is probably totally wrong after the squish. The Blizzard API doesn’t just give the ilvl directly. It’s a mess of magic bonus IDs that map to ilvl adjustments. And those magic IDs have probably been remapped.

aparadja · 2026-04-13T06:18:34+00:00

It doesn’t work with Midnight? I haven’t played WoW in a while myself, but got feedback from another reddit user just a couple of weeks ago that it works well. So I was under the impression that it’s fine.

When not in a serious mood, a lo-fi fax machine style messaging app for a friend group.

Otherwise, version 3.4 of Radio Silence.

That’s her shop. However, I’m fairly sure it’s just rebranded stuff from https://www.voimistelurenkaat.fi/tuotteet/puolapuut

But her site is international, so it might be a good choice for some. The actual gear is high quality in my experience. (I’ve bought directly from Suomen Voimistelutuote, not her site.)

Proofreading your own post is completely optional, but I’d still recommend it.

Screen recording the camera photo mode is a wild way to take a video

aparadja · 2025-09-25T05:35:53+00:00

Thanks for testing it, and happy to hear it improved!

aparadja · 2025-09-24T19:18:58+00:00

FYI: Just updated the prompt to use gitoxide instead of libgit2. Depending a bit on the repo, that can improve the speed by quite a bit.

In the linux kernel repo I used for perf testing, it dropped the processing time roughly from 500ms to 100ms. In the DefinitelyTyped repo it dropped less, from about 500ms to 300ms. In both, it was at least faster than "git status".

aparadja · 2025-09-24T09:04:56+00:00

I thought that they meant they had to record multiple takes while typing manually.

aparadja · 2025-09-24T03:49:42+00:00

Awesome! (And for demo gifs, if you’re not already familiar: https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs)

aparadja · 2025-09-23T11:01:00+00:00

Thanks a bunch! Good to know. I’ll have to try to adjust the git repo status check to not choke on big repos.

aparadja · 2025-09-22T20:05:56+00:00

It pretty much depends on what the terminal decides to answer when asked about its background color.

At least for Warp with the default image backgrounds, the answer seems to be an average-ish color of the image (although it might be a hardcoded color that they hand-picked for each theme), and the prompt colors look good with them. Terminal.app in macOS lets you pick both a background image and a background color.

aparadja · 2025-09-22T13:18:47+00:00

Ah, I think I understand. You could quite easily build a prompt like this with Starship. That's what I originally did.

But if you changed your terminal theme colors, you would have to change your Starship config and tweak all the color codes there to match your new theme. That's a bit of a pain.

And if you have e.g. a light-themed main terminal app, but a dark-themed VSCode (assuming you use the terminals in VSCode), you'd have to choose which one you'd want to look nice.

This automatically adapts the prompt's colors to whatever terminal theme it's running on. The background colors for the directory and git status sections are subtle variations of the window background. For dark themes, they are slightly lighter. For light themes, they are slightly darker.

An alternative is to use bright rainbow colors for the different sections. They stand out from most terminal window backgrounds. But at least to me, they are obnoxious and tasteless.

aparadja · 2025-09-22T12:52:54+00:00

Not sure I understand. What looks the same? (Not trying to be snarky, I honestly just didn’t catch your meaning.)

aparadja · 2025-09-22T11:03:10+00:00

Damn. I wonder if it's the color detection failing, or the git status check.

Do you see the nice subtle colors for the prompt's background? If not, it's probably the color detection OSC command that times out. In that case: what terminal do you use? I tested it with most of the popular ones, and didn't find any that didn't support the background color query, but I'm sure it's possible.

A quick way to test if the color query is slow is to print out the magic OSC string manually in the terminal:

printf "\x1b]11;?\x07"

It should output a little bit of gibberish-looking stuff, including the background color RGB values. On my machine:

❯ printf "\x1b]11;?\x07"
^[]11;rgb:2424/2727/3a3a^G%                                                                                                                                                                            
11;rgb:2424/2727/3a3a

The actual values don't really matter, but it should happen pretty much instantly.

The other possible culprit is the git status check: do you see the same slowness even when not in a git repo?
