Blade CLI is a nice find. I saw a past iteration of this a while back in nsrosenqvist/blade-cli. Basically, it’s a cli for kinda rendering blade templates. Don’t ask why..

name: {{ $name }}
type: {{ $type }}

blade render data.yaml --name="name" --type="type"

The Syncthing developers have added support for synchronizing ownership and extended attributes. If enabled, root might be needed and the bidirectional sensitivity/conditions for file conflicts might increase dramatically. From perusing the commits, versions after 1.22.1 should stabilize these features.

Sometimes the source code is the ultimate documentation. If you’re creating color schemes based on chroma, nothing beats types.go for finding out what each token means.

cgit is good. I’ve added a small note on using git maintenance with cgit.

Kiwi Browser (download) is a Chromium derivative on Android that can directly expose the built–in dev tools on device. Remote debugging is my preference, but it makes quick web development debugging on Chrome for Android just a touch easier.

Larnyx/Rhasspy is an excellent/fast offline text to speech program. There’s approximately 50 voice samples.

It would be trivial to turn this into an API that reads articles/posts, but it’s on Python so packaging it “directly” (there’s a docker container) is way harder than actually using it.

Delta Chat is the premier waiting room to be in until the big boys end their chat app/protocol wars. What does it do? It turns your email into a full blown chat application. Yes.. it’s an email messenger.

I was finally able to smoothly convert my last Signal contact. To persuade others, first prioritize email communication — ruthlessly. Then say: “Who in the world wants 10+ chat apps to talk to everyone?” If there’s agreement — you win ;-)

HTML Sucks Completely (HSC) is a fitting name for what might be one of the first of many static site generators (SSG).

Check out this really nice approach to rendering fully static LaTeX with hugo by caching remote fetches from a quick and simple KaTeX API. Really clever — glad to see that someone tried it. Custom output formats and remote fetching at compile time are two very important features.

If you’re not familiar with deno, try out the api with the command deno run.

$ deno run --allow-net main.ts

yj is handy for converting between YAML, TOML, JSON, and HCL. yes.

yj -yj -i < config.yaml > config.json
yj -yt -i < config.yaml > config.toml
yj -yc    < config.yaml > config.hcl
