  1. Как я превратил статус-лайн Claude Code в тренажёр ПДД за 60 строк bash

    Строка внизу терминала Claude Code показывает модель, ветку и проценты контекста. Я на неё смотрю сотни раз в день, пока агент думает. В какой-то момент стало жалко: такое внимание, а тратится на информацию, нужную дай бог раз в час. Заменил их на билеты ПДД и очередь непрочитанных статей. Ниже, как это устроено и что ещё туда кладут люди.

  2. #TIL that #Alacritty (the terminal) has a daemon mode.

    I put this in my ~/.xsession:

    export ALACRITTY_SOCKET=/tmp/rld/alacritty-socket
    [ -e "$ALACRITTY_SOCKET" ] && rm $ALACRITTY_SOCKET
    alacritty --daemon --socket $ALACRITTY_SOCKET &
    

    and this in my ~/.ctwmrc:

    menu "NetBSD"
    {
        "NetBSD"			f.title
        ""				f.separator
        #" Terminal"			!"uxterm &"
        " uxterm"			!"uxterm -ls &"
    	" lxterminal"       !"lxterminal -l &"
    	" Alacritty"        !"alacritty msg create-window &"
        ""				f.separator
    (...)
    #
    # "evilwm" style keyboard shortcuts
    #
    
    # it is useful to be able to spawn a terminal without clicking.
    "Return" = mod4     : all : !"alacritty msg create-window &"
    
  3. Tinted — то, из‑за чего ты захочешь использовать терминал

    Всем привет! Меня зовут Илья, я frontend‑разработчик. Но сегодня хочу поговорить не о JavaScript, а о терминале. Несмотря на то, что я уже много лет работаю разработчиком, активно пользоваться терминалом я начал всего около года назад. До этого терминал для меня был просто местом, где запускается сборка проекта, немного Git и иногда еще пара команд. Думаю, у многих так же. Обычно мысли о терминале вызывают ступор. Кажется, что это что‑то непонятное, черно‑зеленое и предназначенное только для «настоящих программистов», и на практике большинство ограничивается npm run dev , git status и на этом все. В этом гайде я хочу показать, как можно превратить терминал в красивую и удобную среду разработки, которая не уступает IDEA и другим редакторам. Сразу оговорюсь: речь пойдет исключительно о терминале, а не о NeoVim . NeoVim — это отдельная большая тема.

  4. Decided to add scroll velocity to as a nice QoL improvement for :

    github.com/alacritty/alacritty

    Hopefully this should help scrolling through big terminal backlogs without access to a mouse.

  5. Support in other applications is spotty: The #alacritty terminal emulator accepts input from multiple seats, #kitty doesn't.

    You can kinda browse the web together using #firefox, but only if you start it after the seats have been set up. #chromium doesn't seem to support multiple seats at all.

    I think writing end-user applications with great multi-seat support (or patching existing ones) is currently the lowest-hanging fruit!

  6. I’m going back to #Yakuake as my main #terminal app. For a longish while it had problems with global shortcut keys under #Wayland meaning it could only be activated if it already had the focus, but now everything seems to be all right again. Farewell #Alacritty, you are an excellent terminal emulator, but Yakuake is just always “there” at my fingertip. #KDEPlasma #KDE #FLOSS #Linux

  7. I've always been too afraid of tiling window managers and also too lazy to learn new behaviors. I've tried it many times but I failed again and again because of my laziness.

    Yesterday I've installed #herbstluftwm on #Xubuntu on a low end Fujitsu U727 notebook and played around for while with the configuration. Well, I think I fell in love this time. 😍 Very smooth! And I think replacing xterm with #alacritty was also a good idea.

    Is there anything I should definitely try?

    #windowmanager #tilingwindowmanager #linux

  8. Found this TODO list for on an old drive today:

    - reduce cell storage size (zerowidth)
    - Fix box drawing
    - Synchronized updates
    - Fix keybindings/VirtualKeyCodes
    - Use proc_pidinfo for SpawnNewInstance on macOS
    - Blinking cursor
    - Rework configuration
    - New VSync / Frame scheduling on macOS/Windows/X11
    - website
    - Tmux margins?
    - Regex URLs?
    -> Different launchers for different regexes?

    Nice to see that all of them (other than tmux margins) have been implemented.

  9. Normally I prefer using dark themes. When working on the terrace indeed light themes show better contrast. I've created a script that toggles dark/light mode in #alacritty and #kde / #plasma : gist.github.com/sarmbruster/41

    Just in case you might find that useful. #linux

  10. One of my favorite featues of is how it allows you to shrink its windows to any size, which allows you to use an Alacritty window as a ruler...

  11. наконец-то нормальные картинки в нормальном терминале, как же хорошо когда есть #guix

  12. Just saw that they open sourced warp (the terminal that turned into LLM slop) and decided to look at some of the remaining terminal emulation pieces.

    There's some *interesting* similarities in the terminal code I've looked at so far:

    Warp:
    github.com/warpdotdev/warp/blo

    Alacritty:
    github.com/alacritty/vte/blob/

    Interesting how quickly an Apache (and in parts MIT) license can turn into AGPL.

  13. Alacritty 0.17: aggiornamenti TOML 1.1 e nuove opzioni per Wayland

    Scopri le novità di Alacritty 0.17: aggiornamento a TOML 1.1, nuove binding per il mouse e miglioramenti per Wayland e macOS.

  14. Just released version 0.17.0 of Alacritty:
    github.com/alacritty/alacritty

    My personal highlight is the improvements to focus tracking for touch devices, which is very useful on Linux phones.

  15. Moved from #alacritty to #kitty this week. But I really needed a better icon.
    Picked the white one. 😺github.com/DinkDonk/kitty-icon

  16. @jnunemaker I see no mention of #Alacritty here. I switched to it form iTerm2 (which I had been sponsoring and using for years and years) when iTerm2 introduced AI features.

  17. @ruralocity @mitchellh after one week of usage I can tell I'm not going back to #alacritty, I will keep myself using #ghostty for the foreseeable future.

  18. I've been told your #Rails leader uses #Alacritty as his terminal emulator - part of their Linux "distribution"...

    That above has accelerated my _need_ to move to something else since I had some other issues - besides being kind-of-slow in my environment...

    So, starting today I'm changing to #Ghostty, by @mitchellh

    ghostty.org

    Ghostty is neat, and works perfectly with my current setup: #tmux + #ViM on both, macOS and Linux.

  19. Graphical apps like #Alacritty now works, it just needs something called #NixGL installed, and then you have to run the application from the terminal with nixGL, example:

    nixGL alacritty

    Which does mean you couldn't just launch it from its desktop entry/icon, since that'll run without
    nixGL and fail. I thought to update its .desktop file, and I found it at:
    ~/.nix-profile/share/applications/Alacritty.desktop

    but it seems that said file is meant to be read-only, so.. dk. Happy to see
    nixGL works tho!
