Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?
https://dotfilehub.com
No JS, and easy to self host. It’s a place to put your dotfiles. It comes with a ClI loosely based on git for editing, versioning, pushing, and pulling.

Ask HN: What's Your Side Project?
It seems like Covid left a lot of restaurants scrambling for contactless ordering solutions. They can be nice, but I find it annoying when I have to use my phone to look at a menu or to make an order. How does your system work?
My side project is https://dotfilehub.com
It’s a bare bones version control system for single files + a web interface.

Ask HN: What (side-)project are you working on?
Dotfilehub: https://dotfilehub.com
I've always found various solutions that use git for sharing configuration files cumbersome. I set out to make my own simple version control system, and a lightweight web application where I can browse and edit them remotely. The main idea is that paths are aliased to simple names, so I can say `dotfile pull i3` and it will install https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/i3 to ~/.config/i3/config
Overall the project is stable and I use it daily for all sorts of miscellaneous files.

- Dotfile - Simple VCS for managing single files

Ask HN: Did macOS Sonoma break your iCloud setup?
> A warning, not an admonishment: Use Apple services in a novel or unsupported manner and you're asking for trouble.
+1
I've always had sync issues with iCloud Drive when storing developer projects and related things there. It ends up stuck or confused or conflicted but tries to resolve the merge conflicts opaquely and it's hard to know there's a problem in real time vs until later when you find something broken. I keep all dev things out of iCloud after getting burned by this enough times over the years.
To OP: Consider a repo dotfiles setup like using Chezmoi or similar. Transitioning to it was less friction than I expected and the only downside really is having to remember to commit changes across devices.

Russ Cox: Go Testing by Example
chezmoi (<https://chezmoi.io> or <https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi>) has a couple dozen txtar tests. They are both amazing and completely frustrating to use, but I don't think that there would be a better way to test most of what chezmoi does without them.
Tom Payne (the creator and primary developer of chezmoi) has added some extra commands to the txtar context which makes things easier for certain classes of testing.

Fake recruiter Lazarus lured aerospace employee with trojanized coding challenge
Thanks, I never heard of it before and it looks really interesting.
However, it seems that it does not cover all of my needs: https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi/discussions/1510#discussi...

I want to mess around with my config files. What is the best way for me to be able to go back and forth between my normal config and my test config?
I’ve been using chezmoi, which uses git, to manage my dot files and have different branches for these types of experiments.

https://chezmoi.io is a dotfile manager that is runs on multiple OSes (including Windows) while handling differences from machine to machine, allows you to store your secrets in your password manager (so you don't have to store secrets in your dotfile repo), and it even supports the NO_COLOR environment variable. Check it out! Disclaimer: I'm the author.
There's a comprehensive list of the most popular dotfile managers at https://dotfiles.github.io/utilities/.
