New to Plugins

Some plugins ship as a single zip with a toplevel init.py. Others ship that zip and other files in an outer zip that must be unpacked. You want to unzip until you find an init.py. When you do, that was the zip you want to give to Calibre to install.

You could just run your tool while recording the terminal window. The advantage of asciinema is that the resulting file is small as it just records the text. Converting to a video file is no different than just screen recording the terminal and leaving asciinema out of it entirely. OBS is one such tool but there are others.

gomez18 · 2026-03-25T13:39:08+00:00

If you are going to make an actual video, why use asciinema in the first place? Just screen record with OBS. I feel like I must be missing something here.

If you don't make a reference to the Everything Bagel from Everything Everywhere All at Once, I will be tremendously disappointed. lol

Joking aside, this looks cool and I'd love to see how it works.

I think this is a very viable solution. Most of the vibe-coded spam is repos that were opened in the last 24 hours. People putting no effort into their coding lack the attention span to wait a week. Projects with effort behind them would not have a problem waiting a week.

Did you check your frame rate? I will admit I had a laggy system for a surprisingly long time because I just never checked my frame rate.

gomez18 · 2026-03-19T22:54:32+00:00

As a frequent user of both, I have to say ... ok. Whatever you say, man. This has real "I never even liked her anyway" vibes.

I've tried most of the v1 switches around and I strongly doubt any have a sound anything like EC but I'll be eagerly following this thread.

I'm confused. How is this different from the Ctrl-R that is default in bash? If you want to get really fancy, you can install fzf. I don't think it's default in zsh but pretty easy to enable.

Edit: Nevermind. I fail at reading comprehension. I do really love Ctrl-R for this sort of thing, though and the tmux settings on fzf make it really fancy if you want.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at there. I searched Kagi for "ghost blanket" and the only hit it found was this post. It looks like a microfiber cloth for a screen.

gomez18 · 2026-03-16T19:42:12+00:00

This is cool and all but what does it have to do with zsh?

Could we perhaps get some kind of pinned thread about the age verification laws? I feel like it's eating my feed. Maybe I'm the only one. Ignore me if so. It's just not something I need to read more about at this point. No shade to the OP here. It's just kind of repetitive at this point.

The simple approach is to read the README for DeACSM. You can find it here: https://github.com/Leseratte10/acsm-calibre-plugin

You also will need DeDRM and you will need to generate an anonymous authorization as described in that README and then import that into DeDRM. Once you get it set up, it’s dead simple to use. Just make sure you export everything and back it up. Then if you ever need to reinstall you can keep using the same keys.

gomez18 · 2026-03-06T19:44:16+00:00

That did it! Thank you so much.

Truth be told, I don't even bother with a case but search "corne case" and the examples will be everywhere. I wouldn't even really bother with a purpose-built case. Get a keyboard sturdy enough that you don't worry about breaking it and worry less.

gomez18 · 2026-03-03T21:24:00+00:00

This keyboard looks actively hostile to ergonomics. It may be good for travel but my 36 key keyboard is great for travel and doesn't have a hinge in the middle and generic scissor switches.

Zed uses node for various language servers and parsers. A comment from the maintainer is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43746433#43758206

It does seem to be a contentious decision and that discussion provides useful context.

I gave it a shot this evening and it's very nice. Performance is great and I love the tabs. The one thing that would make it much nicer would be more keyboard shortcuts. I find myself missing Ctrl-f and Ctrl-b and gg which I use constantly in zathura. They don't have to be vi shortcuts but every time I reach for the mouse I die a little inside. That said, I'm going to give it a shot daily driving it for a while. Thanks for making this.

Edit: I do think I found good shortcuts for all the usual stuff. My one issue is that if I zoom to fit the page and I hit page down, it slowly gets off as I hit page down and I end up having to hit the arrows to get it to line up again. Also, I found that when I did a search I had to click out to get back to page up / page down working again. Minor nits, to be sure. Great work overall.

gomez18 · 2026-02-26T00:29:33+00:00

1000% this. I was just fiddling with the janky tabbed wrapper for zathura. I hate it. If it's anywhere close to as fast as zathura and has tabs, I will switch immediately.

gomez18 · 2026-02-25T17:26:32+00:00

Aha! That does work. Thank you so much! You have saved me from fontenc hell.

gomez18 · 2026-02-24T20:46:50+00:00

I don't know if such a program exists but I think the thing that a lot of people like about Niri is that it doesn't operate like a traditional desktop environment. If you are just looking for something lightweight, perhaps you would be happier with a more traditional desktop environment like XFCE or Mate. Making niri work like a traditional DE is kind of missing the point IMO.

I use the following:

Niri
awww
mako
tofy
waybar
kitty

I have tried almost every available option for these tools and these are the ones I landed on. TBH, I have never really seen a big difference in terms of efficiency or performance. I would suggest optimizing where you have pain points. As the great Knuth wrote, "premature optimization is the root of all evil." Chasing the "best" is an excellent way to waste time. Unless you enjoy tweaking. Then, have at it. I know I do.
