Suckless file manager?
GUI: xfiles, written in C, very lightweight but immensely powerfull (and has support for drag-and-drop)
- I rewrote my UNIX/X11 File Manager from scratch: code is simpler; threaded thumbnailing; alpha compositing with XRender; etc

Hi! I have been working the last couple of weeks on XFiles1, a GUI file browser for X11 with modular design and appeal to configurability.

Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (February 2024)
SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://letsblock.it - https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/
A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.
The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.
The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).

I use a combination of:
- https://letsblock.it/ and Ublock Origin
- The Unhook plugin for Firefox
- Blocking channels on my YouTube account when I see something inappropriate
- Adguard Home also blocks certain channels
to try to moderate the YouTube content for my kids. It's not perfect, but it does get rid of a lot of garbage (like YouTube Shorts).

Show HN: uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
You should submit these rules to https://letsblock.it ! AFAIK their distractions rules really only cover YouTube

Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube
They're horrible.
Luckily you can use ublock origin and letsblockit, or other browser plugins, to completely erase them from YouTube.

Ask HN: What cool software utilities have you created?
https://letsblock.it : it allows you to create your own content blocking rule list from a corpus or community-maintained templates. It allows you to hide pinterest and stackoverflow clones from search results, remove shorts and upcoming streams from youtube, and many more. The project is now two years old and sustaining a slow but steady growth with an active community.
