    Ultimate Plumber is a tool for writing Linux pipes with instant live preview (by akavel)

    Do you have some tricks for how you handle filtering through logs? Or if there could be a tool thst could help you or mitigate your most critical issue[s]?

    I found filtering through longs a major pain even for a fully sighted person like me, so I wrote a tool to help me with that, but it's fully in a "TUI" paradigm (i.e. curses-like), so I presume it wouldn't help you much (https://github.com/akavel/up). No promises, given that the tool as is scratched my itch, but I am honestly curious if something similar could reduce your PITA, including whether this specific tool could be made useful for you through some minimal effort on my side.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

    It has `editor.renderControlCharacters` but only recently started displaying few dangerous previously invisible ones (directional overrides) natively [1], but besides that you had to use extension that adds highlights for non-ascii non-whitelisted [2] or predefined [3] characters.
