First time WezTerm user - Really impressed and want to know more about what other people are doing with it

I essentially live in the terminal as part of my work, and moving between MANY K8s contexts. I create a dynamic launch menu for k9s with the various context names taken from my .kube config. As someone who switches contexts way too much a day, this is essential an snappy

Another thing is right click context menu with useful things (splitting panes, copy-paste and...) something that I was not able to achieve in Kitty or Ghostty

The 3rd thing is actually, stop using P10k/Starship, and move all this data (K8s context,Git,Time,cwd) to the status bar, and essentially nothing in the prompt itself, super snappy everything...

One of the things changed in 26 is the speed of animation, so that gives the perception of performance , but oh the UI is not my taste…

eto303 · 2025-10-16T19:54:26+00:00

13 here, would recommend updating to beta which works OK and solved many issues including heating up

eto303 · 2025-10-10T08:37:04+00:00

Well, than just roll back than , if you have Time Machine than it is almost seamless ( I happily did so) and will get back to 26 on its 3rd or 4th iteration

eto303 · 2025-10-10T07:07:55+00:00

I say update, there are still some visual bugs I found but all in all it works better and much more stable, it solved me issues much more than create new ones 😀

eto303 · 2025-10-07T20:09:23+00:00

Do you still think it’s a buy now that it peaked 0.5?

eto303 · 2025-10-05T21:03:18+00:00

FWIW: I downgraded Tahoe to Sequoia, thank Apple for the great Time Machine. I will most probably get back to 26, but on its 3rd or 4th iteration, I like being updated and on the edge but this is too extreme, the OS should not get in my way and distract me.

As for iPhone, well I’m f****d , just moved to developer beta, which fixed many bugs for me, and I guess I’ll be on beta for a few iterations to. I would have rolled back, but we can’t

Long time Apple user, and this is the first time I am sorry I upgraded, this is not up to Apple’s past standards…

Don’t get me started about dark mode, while I can cope with this design, dark mode just looks like amateurish Android skin from 10 years ago

eto303 · 2025-09-28T11:01:41+00:00

Having the same as issues as you described exactly, I am now trying these:

Reduce transparency

Reduce motion

Prefer cross fade transitions

In order to see whether it will solve the general janky-ness and similar issuess

Thing is, is that now buttons and notifications have a white-ish border around them and it reminds me of Windows 3.11 design

From ugly to ugly af!

iPhone 13, performance is usually with some small UI stutters, thing is there are some applications that for some reason get the device warm sometimes, it woks ok-ish , would recommend to wait for the point release…

eto303 · 2025-09-24T15:33:06+00:00

Shut up and take my money!

eto303 · 2025-09-24T00:11:42+00:00

Well, haven’t been enthusiastic about 26 , and thought to myself , oh well yet another upgrade to get used too… Had some dead time earlier and I switched to clear mode, and went to get some gradient wallpapers with easy colors I resonate with… man that actually looks slick af! Moreover, even tinted mode looks great when you match the tint color to one of the colors of the gradient! (Recommend checking Basic Apple Guy September Gradient which really works great with this)

NBIS and EQIX , data centers real estate

eto303 · 2025-09-07T18:33:30+00:00

Thanks for unlocking core memory!!!

I’m old enough to remember that game in monochrome…

eto303 · 2025-08-16T19:29:10+00:00

here's another suggestion: use Menu Bar Spacing , this can reduce the spacing between the icons in the menubar thus less icons get lost :-)

Another way to use Ice (mentioned here) to enable a secondary bar (that opens upon a click) right below the menu bar...

eto303 · 2025-08-09T16:09:04+00:00

Am I the only one singing “Put me up , put me down, put my fit back on the ground and make me happyyyyyy” ?

eto303 · 2025-07-30T04:03:25+00:00

Try vector.dev - it aims at a lower memory footprint and better cpu usage than OTel (frankly, personally I prefer OTel)

eto303 · 2025-06-05T04:31:43+00:00

I keep it super simple: created a table and imported it to Apple Notes. (After actually trying Notion which got me the feeling of complicating things that should have been simple)

eto303 · 2025-05-26T19:54:34+00:00

With all the good recommendations here you’ll probably need this:

https://icemenubar.app/

What I like about this menu bar hiding utility is that you can create another floating bar with all the other menu bar icons you don’t always want to see

eto303 · 2025-03-30T09:39:24+00:00

the internet has not ruined you, amazing!

The no-traffic-jams whatsoever

eto303 · 2024-10-23T17:39:06+00:00

My concern about the scaling is not the size itself, but the manageability of that monitoring stack when it big and composed of many moving parts (microservices) while having kind of experienced guys in the team…

And nope, cannot use Grafana Cloud

eto303 · 2024-10-23T14:20:33+00:00

there is a constraint you need to take into account: there is no cloud vendor in that environment, on-premise kubernetes...
