Ask HN: Small scripts, hacks and automations you're proud of?
I write a lot of extremely simple but handy shell functions.
This one lets me drag/and drop things out of a terminal session (kind of) into applications with https://github.com/mwh/dragon and i use it way too often!

[OC] XFiles: A modular X11 file browser (WIP)
I'm used on a terminal workflow (ranger fm in the past, switched to lf) on a desktopless wm. I prefer it that way, the only thing missing is drag 'n' drop functionality, mainly for web apps. There is dragon but I'm considering installing a light gui fm for the job.

"Super Buffer File" and Dragon integration
Yeah, some amount of extra explanation would have helped. I'm using this with a local program (https://github.com/mwh/dragon) that creates a pop-up GUI window (independent of Emacs) for "drag and drop" functionality. It only works with files on the local system, so the purpose of super-buffer-file is to create a local file associated with a buffer if one doesn't already exist, and return the name of that file.

Is there a way to use an external file picker on Linux?
Not a direct answer, but maybe still useful… They way I handle this is using a drag and drop tool.

TUI file manager killer functionality that never gets implemented!
I know there is dragon and the feature would require a terminal that supports it, but being able to simply select files and drag-and-drop them into a browser upload without requiring an additional window would be awesome.

Deciding between Rust or Go for desktop applications
Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

Rust vs Go Issue
The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

Thank you DaisyDisk!
The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

Sloth – A Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, etc.
Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.
