Project mention: Top Homebrew Alternative: ServBay Becomes the Go-To for Developers | dev.to | 2024-04-18Homebrew is a highly popular package manager on macOS and Linux systems, enabling users to easily install, update, and uninstall command-line tools and applications. Its design philosophy focuses on simplifying the software installation process on macOS, eliminating the need for manual downloads and compilations of software packages.
Project mention: GitHub Discussion about the recent feed changes becomes 3rd most upvoted ever | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-11Use hub here via CLI and forget the gui https://hub.github.com/
Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

Project mention: MOS: Smooth scrolling on the Mac for your third party mouse | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-13
Project mention: Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-29> Correct. Though we do not appear to be affected, this revert was done out of an abundance of caution.

I also got my eyes on GoReleaser, which I will use in my (Go) projects.
Project mention: macOS updates for Apple Silicon Macs are larger than reported | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-21
Monocraft (a monospace version of the Minecraft font) is literally the best font for Minecraft coding.
Project mention: I'm shrarch for a mod who changes the language to Spanish but not changed anything more | /r/Diablo | 2023-09-17
To get your Linux ready to use after a fresh install you might have an Ansible playbook to get the system ready to go with all the tools you need.
I maintain a Brewfile (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle) which contains the majority of the non-project specific applications that I like to install on any new Mac:

What's really nice is the `cask` & `mas` keywords allow you to install .dmg files & directly from the App Store.

While its not included in there yet, I've been experimenting with maintaining a private Homebrew tap which contains my ~/bin directory as opposed to shell aliases.
Project mention: This happens when I try to launch a game from the cartridge. | /r/3dspiracy | 2023-12-09
The open-source examples are mockoon, mock-server.com, etc.
Project mention: Show HN: Applite – Clean Homebrew front end app for macOS built with SwiftUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-10As far as I know, Cakebrew is no longer maintained. There are quite a few alternatives though, you can see the full list on the GitHub page (https://github.com/milanvarady/Applite#alternatives)
Tobias here. Seems like `homebrew/cask-fonts` is the best way to go for Homebrew, but even the repo maintainers suggest that submission to Google Fonts is their desired method to be included [1]. Once / if SN Pro garners more mainstream popularity we will start supporting more methods of distribution.

Project mention: For those that don't use Tinfoil, how do you keep up with DLC and Updates? | /r/SwitchPirates | 2023-05-17Found this on their github: https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf/blob/master/Quark.md
Project mention: Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09I am intrigued by this line in the description:
"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"
Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)
I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus
Currently, every time I have a new iPhone (or do a hard reset), it takes me a few hours to download all the apps I use and sign into them, and apply my Settings.
PS I know about iCloud backup, but that’s not exactly what I want.
