How to make sure an Xbox disc is 100% readable ?
As an example, one of the main tools for dumping that you will find on their guide (MPF) even has an option to dump the disc twice and compare the hashes because sometimes due to a variety of reasons, like scratches, aged laser diode, copy protection shenanigans, etc. the disc won't be read correctly so the hashes won't match.

How do I rip bluray/dvd’s/ps2 games? And what is the recommended storage product and size to use?
I can recommend https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator . It handles all kinds of weird formats and copy protections, and it's open source! You can use https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF as the frontend if you like.

Where to find latest addition in a romset
Be aware that some games are MIA (Miss In Action), so it's kinda pointless to try to find them, except if you have an original copy of those games and you dump it yourself by using the Media Preservation Frontend tool ( https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest ).

Slightly off topic - Does anyone know how to make an ISO out of a RAW RIP?
There is a preservation group called redump.org that preserves all sorts of disc based content ranging from CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-Rays and Video Games. They use a program called MPF (Media Preservation Frontend) which can be found here..

Do you guys have any idea of how to rip PS1 game files (roms) from discs?
Best tool to dump disc based games it's the MPF, it can also be used to report the hashes to the redump database: https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest

ISOs are nice but sometimes you need to hoard the originals for the complete experience. (And also rip them to ISO)
How do you rip your games? Some of them come with pretty tricky copy protection. Still trying to figure out a consistent "one shot" method. Currently using a combination of MPF and Alcohol.

I have these original Xbox demo disks I'd like to preserve
Media Preservation Frontend software allows doing quality dumps and generate the log to report redump.org, you can dowload the latest version here: https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest

Show HN: Shpool, a Lightweight Tmux Alternative
Oh, this might be the missing piece of the puzzle for me to get rid of tmux!
I've been using screen/tmux for a long time. Recently I switched to kitty[0] locally. I like kitty a lot! But I've been stuck with tmux on my servers for session persistence.

Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
Besides the usual Firefox/Chrome, Spotify, etc I use the following:
- Karabiner-Elements for key remapping, specifically, for making caps lock into ctrl/esc. I don't know of anything else that does this job. Everyone who remaps keys seems to use this.
- Kitty as my terminal of choice. I spend most of my time logged in remotely to a server via ssh where I attach to a tmux session. Kitty was easy enough to configure/theme and seems well-documented.
- Hammerspoon[2] for a DIY automation/keybinding/window management sys scriptable via lua. I use a private fork of this config: https://github.com/jasonrudolph/keyboard/tree/main
- Vivid[3] to make my macbook's screen brighter when outdoors on sunny days. This is important for me, since I try to spend as much time outside as possible.

`tmux` is worse is better
It's not like Goyal doesn't accept any patches [1].
I don't use kitty myself, but many people who do seem to love it. I've come around to feel that this is truly a maintainer's judgment call. After all, they are almost always stuck maintaining the code no matter who wrote it initially, and they know better than anyone else what code they're personally comfortable maintaining.
More generally, if you like a piece of software enough, you're implicitly trusting the maintainers' judgment. You're certainly not reviewing every single line of code they write to see if you agree with it.
The miserable survival rate of hostile forks also demonstrates that even if people care enough to fork over one issue, they rarely care enough to maintain the overall project long-term, despite implicitly asking the original maintainers to do the exact same thing.

Alacritty – A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
My understanding is that kitty has an automatic (opt-out) update feature [0][1]. I don't really like the idea of a terminal doing that.
However I like the fact that kitty developer(s) actively improved the state of the terminal emulation with their new keyboard and graphic protocols [2].

Also typometer based measurements also on Linux. Shrug.

Warp, the modern terminal, is now available for Linux
A terminal with built-in telemetry and a pricing model... Just what I never wanted!
To avoid being too negative, I'll offer the option of Kitty[1]. My current favorite terminal. Supports many features.
Including my personal favorites:
* ctrl+c (as opposed to stupid things like ctrl+shift+c) to copy data only when you have content selected. Otherwise, ctrl+c sends a sigint like normal.
* font ligature support (a controversial feature)

Non-code contributions are the secret to open source success
The ncurses/xterm maintainer also had quite a lot of friction with the developer of the kitty terminal emulator.

I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals
IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS:
[iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/)
[Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)
[WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)

Kitty shortcuts work only with Latin characters - How to fix?
While researching how to fix the issue I found this GitHub issue with the fun number 606 (almost 666). First, I should say, that there is no easy solution. Shortly you have to specify for each shortcut mapping alternative with your keyboard layout. That means, for example, if your keyboard has Cyrillic "м" instead of Latin "v" then for making work CMD+V you should add also into configuration an additional line with "м".
What are some alternatives?
infrarecorder - CD/DVD burning software.
alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
mkvtoolnix-batch-tool - Batch video and subtitle processing program with the ability to add, remove, or extract subtitles from all video files in a directory and its sub-directories.
wezterm - A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust
CommunityScripts - This is a public repository containing plugin and utility scripts created by the Stash Community.
tmux - tmux source code
media_management_scripts - Set of tools for managing media libraries
Warp - Warp is a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster.
