Project mention: Ask HN: Anyone looking for contributors for their open source projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-21Actually yes! It could even be paid in the context of this year's Google Summer of Code:
https://github.com/borgbase/vorta
Or if you join as mentor, you will be supporting the Python Foundation.
If interested, just email the address in my HN profile.
Good observation.
Turning off extensions is where OP lost me. In the last year, the single biggest quality of life improvement for me has been discovering the Argos[0] extension, which basically lets you put whatever text/menus you want in the top bar by writing scripts that print to stdout. To save space, I hid the dock (I use [1] as a replacement alt-tab), so the top bar is the only piece of screen that isn't OS chrome.
On my top bar right now I have the time in four time zones (including the ever-important UTC to save a mental calculation when logging at logs), the name of the current Wifi access point, and some VPN details gleaned using a combination of ip r, ping, nc, and curl. Another extension shows free RAM. I look at them dozens of times a day.
