Ask HN: What rabbit hole(s) did you dive into recently?
gs (ghostscript), mutool, ocrmypdf...
To add/remove: mutool merge -h
To split PDF pages: mutool poster -h
I made a script here that I use frequently for scanned documents: https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/bin/pdf_...
Shrink PDFs: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf
(or switch prepress to ebook to shrink more)
or to really shrink, b&w only:
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray -sColorConversionStrategy=Gray -dDownsampleColorImages=true -dOverrideICC -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dColorImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dColorImageResolution=120 -dGrayImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dGrayImageResolution=120 -dMonoImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dMonoImageResolution=120 -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf

Ask HN: Why does GNU Stow (et al.) exist?
I've been putting my whole home folder under git for almost a year [1].
I haven't seen any other repos on GitHub with a similar layout. Why do people rely on GNU Stow and other complicated tools to essentially do what git does? I haven't noticed any performance problems with just using git.

My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information
The problem with a lot of these tools is there is no incremental escape hatch. I had 25,000 tabs last year which I saved as a line delimited text file.
Then every day I automate opening 7 tabs and I force myself to get through them. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour. Sometimes it ends with me adding 50 more links to the text file. Sometimes the tabs are garbage but often they are worthwhile.

https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/...
But over the past year I've gone through 2,555 tabs! So it seems like it is working. Maybe in 10 years I'll reach tab zero

Yet another yt-dlp linux script
I started doing this with my phone and it made formatting my phone painless. The hardest part is getting started. I still haven't added all my config files to git; I have a daily script that will remove one line from my home directory gitignore so I can incrementally add config files. And it has already brought me a lot of peace of mind even if I'm only like 30% of the way done on the desktop.

AI-generated content, other unfavorable practices get CNET on Wikipedia banlist
In the days before "google it" was a synonym for "find it", we had different curated link sites, and even pyhsical magazines with hand-curated lists of links that people interested in a certain topic might find interesting. This still exists today in some forms, for example the "awesome lists" that you see for some programming topics, for example https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome .
Just like there was a time when 90%-99% of all email traffic was viagra spam, I imagine in the future most of the internet by volume will be AI-generated trash, and those in the know will still circulate lists of where the other 1% can be found.
An even brighter scenario is that someone, maybe a kid tinkering in their garage, figures out how to make a search engine that finds the good stuff, doesn't immediately die to AI bot farms' SEO efforts, and is financially viable.

Artist for Hire?
I have an awesome list GitHub repository that needs a few icons & a banner made. I was wondering if any students in graphic design would be willing to commission a few for me? I'm willing to pay either hourly, or by the project and can pay cash or venmo. Note that the art will end up as CC0, so you'd essentially be waiving any right to the artwork.

Pulling my site from Google over AI training
yah, come to think of it in the curated space, this reminds me of that awesome X family of github pages. Looks like someone compiled a bunch of them here https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome#databases. I have found those to be highly valuable treasure troves pregnant with rich and relevant information.
