Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

System settings that aren’t in System Settings
I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?
If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

System 76 Linux script to set up a new PC including the personal profile and prefered software installs
I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set. And you can setup bootstraps to do what you said, install a bunch of stuff or make custom changes. In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command.

Git Aliases - My way of learning Git
I'm not yet a Git Wizard yet, you'll find me being very sloppy with my commits as I'm learning it. But you can see me editing my config files very frequently. To copy-paste from the website of yadm.io:
-
Setup a backup system if you haven’t done it yet
Checkout yadm or chezmoi. They work great.

The best way of tracking dotfiles I ever saw.
I currently use yadm and love it.

Dotfiles Management
I very recently put some effort into tidying up my dotfiles, and have a brief writeup at https://chatwithsysop.com/blog/2022/12/31/dotfiles-cleanup (none of this was done with the academic rigor required to withstand a deconstruction by HN, it is just a log of one person's experience with a weekend project).
I chose to use yadm (http://yadm.io) for no particular reasons beyond that I found it first, and it seemed reasonable. It's more just a wrapper around putting GIT_DIR elsewhere.
YADM[0] is another great tool for this very purpose which I've been using for years in combination with homebrew to setup any new (Mac) machine that I get and have everything from dotfiles to Applications installed in no time.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.
Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?
I have used both for a number of years already.

Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?
I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.
After minimal setup, it just works(tm).
You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").
I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)
For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.
One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.
You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.
For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

What do you use to write your fan fictions?
When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
