Rust Easy! Modern Cross-platform Command Line Tools to Supercharge Your Terminal
Let us start with the terminal itself. Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. You can use it on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It doesn't have much in terms of a UI, and hence all configurations are done through YAML files. I don't use it as my primary terminal as I love Yakuake too much for all its cool features. We can get most of those features (tabs, split panes, dropdown mode) using tmux and tdrop if really needed. I use Alacrity when I need speed and GPU acceleration. There is an excellent tutorial on using Alacritty with tmux.

ScratchPad terminal doesnt load settings from zshrc/zpreztorc
tdrop is de/wm agnostic and can make most terminals a drop down terminal.
- How do I substitute Kitty as the terminal for the yakuake drop down?

2-minute Tmux Tour
I've been using tdrop for about a year and not knowing how to get rid of the green bar it put at the bottom. Well, now that's fixed and I've learned to use tmux to switch between newsboat, cmus, lf, etc. -TY!

No, seriously, drop-downs like yakuake have saved me countless minutes.
You can also use tdrop to turn any terminal into a dropdown terminal

Using a drop-down terminal (with tdrop) doesn't play well with activities. Any solution?
So it's pretty clear what happens and why. I'm using tdrop, a little tool that allows you to use any terminal emulator as a drop-down terminal/scratchpad. Calling tdrop terminal with some parameters will show a terminal window, calling it again will hide it. I've bound this to a key, let's say HOTKEY.

Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong
Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:
- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]
- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]
- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]
- gotop: a `top` clone [4]
- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]
Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

Text Editor: Data Structures
> The worst way to store and manipulate text is to use an array.
Claim made from theoretical considerations, without any actual reference to real-world editors. The popular Micro[1] text editor uses a simple line array[2], and performs fantastically well on real-world editing tasks.
Meanwhile, ropes are so complicated that even high-quality implementations have extremely subtle bugs[3] that can lead to state or content corruption.
Which data structure is "best" is not just a function of its asymptotic performance. Practical considerations are equally important (arguably more so).

A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
There are two main ways to configure sudo.The first one is using the sudoers file.It is located at /etc/sudoers for Linux,and /usr/local/etc/sudoers for FreeBSD respectively.The paths are different,but the configuration works in the same way. A typical sudoers file looks like this. The sudoers file must be edited with the visudo command,which ensures the config is free of errors.Running this command as the root user will result in opening vi by default.If you want to use a different editor you can set the VISUAL environment varaible to the editor you want. For example,if you want to use micro as the text editor run:
-
