Nowadays terminals and other text views can get rendered with GPU acceleration support, like the kitty terminal that I use.
🤔 That means we could get bloom, chromatic aberration, distortion, depth of field and other post process effects into our terminals, what are we waiting for?
Pour cette 13ème édition de la journée mondiale de sensibilisation à l'accessibilité #a11y, ARN, @hackstub et le groupe a11y-libre, propose à toutes les personnes qui pratiquent la ligne de commande, un hackaton « asynchrone » sur le thème « ligne de commande et cécité » !

Watch out if you use iTerm2 on a mac. The latest version (3.5.x) integrates OpenAI/ChatGPT. It looks like you have to set keys to use it, but I don't want it even in the mix so I'm sticking with the 3.4.x release.
Did you know that you can have a #SQLite CLI config file? Pretty handy for changing the default memory limit, output format, or even print a nice banner.
It allows SQLite to use up to 1 GiB of page cache, uses nice Unicode box drawing characters, and tracks the runtime of queries by default. It also reminds me of how to turn these things off again.
(Pro tip: Set .timer on last, else it will print the stats for each of the start-up commands … 😬)
Talking to someone about git's UI, and they compared it to vim and GUI IDEs.
When replying with how vi was basically a GUI of its time over more CLI editing with ed/ex ...
it struck me that it is perhaps glaring that we don't have a "vgit": A more visual/TUI tool that supplanted and erased git from memory apart from the "git compatibility mode" still available in "vgit".
I may be off here, but is this emblematic of the cultish worship of unix tooling in the "linux" era?
Nous cherchons des personnes #mal-voyantes ou #aveugles qui s'intéressent à la ligne de commande #bash, pour voir si elle seraient prêtes à essayer notre librairie pour son #accessibilite.
Il y a déjà 13 commandes à tester.
Au delà des problèmes de vue, cette librairie peut faciliter la vie d'un public plus large, puisqu'elle filtre les sorties de commandes pour les réduire à l'essentiel.
The Microsoft #devskim project looks great, but it could use some #dev activity.
There is a great opportunity to improve the #vscode plugin or the #cli tool or to improve it's current default ruleset. You can use this tool for #security in your code, or common best practices.
Will you help me popularize it's usage? For me it's a serious contestant for the sluggish #sonarcube if it gets a bit more love 🩷
🐍 aprxc — A #Python#CLI tool to approximate the number of distinct values in a file/iterable using the Chakraborty/Vinodchandran/Meel’s (‘coin flip’) #algorithm¹.
TIL: You can ask GNU tar(1) to change the file names while extracting. (And you can limit tar to only extract specific files, but I knew that already.)
For example, I'm using this command to extract the static binary "resticprofile" from the release tarball, but give it a versioned file name (e.g. "resticprofile-0.26.0"):
VERSION=0.26.0
tar -xf resticprofile_$VERSION_linux_amd64.tar.gz --no-same-owner --transform "s,$,-$VERSION," resticprofile
