My contributions to SerenityOS[0] helped me get my current job. My team lead (who was also my interviewer) was interested in what I did since I listed some of it in my CV, and I showed him some PRs I made and explained what went into each of them. It was really exciting because I didn't have professional experience with low-level development, and basically got the job due to hobby programming.

Sloth
Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, pipes and devices in use by all running processes. Nice GUI for lsof.
Project mention: Why can't MacOS just TELL ME which program is using the drive I'm trying to eject rather than just have me guess? | /r/MacOS | 2023-07-05That said, after I learned about how to use lsof, I found this little free app called =Sloth (and its github page ), which is just a nice native Mac app serving as a GUI for lsof. It'll let you know exactly which process to quit or kill so your drive can eject happily.

I think you are on the right track in thinking it’s a signal handling issue. You mentioned using some “bash scripts”, have you tried something like dumb-init?

Project mention: Kernighan and Pike were right: Do one thing, and do it well | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-19
FWIW, ls in Research-V6 back in 1975 had 10 options. https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc...
By BSD 3 in 1980 it had 11 options. https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/BSD-3-S...
The thing is, we can see even from the 1970s 'ls' how the Unix model doesn't meet the goal "to chain these simple programs together to create complex behaviors".
There is no option to escape or NUL terminate a filename, making it possible to construct a filename containing a newline which makes the output look like two file entries.
The option for that was added later.
There's also the issue that embedded terminal codes will be interpreted by the terminal.

> it supports my keystrokes
You know that there is basically a standard set, imposed by Windows in about 1986 or something and also supported in GNOME 2, MATE, Xfce, LXDE, etc etc.? I am more interested in if it supports them. I mean, I don't know what your set are, and I am not for a moment saying there's anything wrong with them, but there are standards for this stuff, used heavily by millions of blind computer users for example.
> Have you considered the possibility you are so set in your ways that you are neglecting new and useful tool?
Could be. I am a professional assessor of, and commentator on, this stuff, though.
I mainly use a desktop I switched to in 2011. :-) Before that, I changed in 2004, after a change in 2001, after a change in 1995, after a change in 1992, after one in 1989, etc. etc.
I mean I am an old pharte, fair call, but I am a reasonably adaptable one, I think. :-D

> Then make the panel vertical instead of horizontal
Why don't any of the screenshots show that, then?
I see 6 horizontal panels in the screenies on the homepage and Github, and one with none. From that, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude this is not a core feature or something.
