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.

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.

YouTube artificially slows down video load times when using Firefox
Most of those features are available in OSS tools as well. And for those that are not, there are alternative solutions that might take a bit of work to implement.
I'm not claiming that the OSS tools have feature parity with 1st party frontends, or that they won't require some sacrifices, or effort adjusting. I just think that the trade-off of losing some of the convenience in return for not being tracked and manipulated is well worth it to me, though I can see how it might not be worth it for others.
I do actually think that OSS tools provide a better UX. I can download the media and consume it offline, using any player of choice, on any device, at any time. I find YouTube's recommendations a nuisance, and I can turn those off in Invidious and Piped. Scrubbing in mpv is instantaneous for me for local files and even those served on the LAN, though there is a slight delay when playing directly from YT. There is also a solution for generating thumbnails[1], though I had some issues with it, and didn't end up using it.
At the end of the day, it's a personal choice depending on what you value most, and I'm not trying to convince anyone my choice is inherently better. Thanks for providing your perspective.

is there anyway I can add this feature in MPV where I can press an arrow to play the next file?The screenshot is from MPV.net btw and I wondered if I could do the same in MPV proper.
Check out uosc, it has a button for the next file.

Anything like mpv.net that is still being updated?
uosc adds a customisable ui, making mpv more accessible to beginners.

I want to start using mpv. What do I need to know?
