I wanted to share a very small traceroute implementation I wrote using Python. It is asynchronous and it supports probing over UDP or ICMP. It was a good networking exercise.
dpaster-rs is a UNIX-style command-line client interface for the dpaste.com.
If you often need to share code or output of some command in a pastebin, this tool will lift some of the burdens from your back. It reads from stdin by default if no file argument is passed, meaning it perfectly fits a UNIX-style workflow. It is configurable and easy to use. Check out the README for examples on how to install it and how to use it:
I wanted to share my attempt at implementing the classic tetris game. It works in the terminal and uses the ncurses-rs bindings for the UI part. For me, the coolest part about it is that the tetrominos and their rotations are encoded as 16-bit unsigned integers. For example, to represent a square, we want 51! Why 51? Because 51 decimal is `0b0000000000110011`. We can make 4x4 Vec from that, and we get:
Look up for tetrisconcept.net and theabsolute.plus discord ( https://discord.gg/6Gf2awJ ). Several people have made attempts to recreate sophisticated clones of Tetris, and the absolute plus leader board is written in rust.
Does representing tetrominos that way make hit detection or anything like that easier? My gut says the only thing they add is slightly smaller memory usage, but maybe i'm missing some sort of elegant bit trick.
pyhstr is a history suggest box for Python shells. It lets you quickly access the commands in your shell history. Just search for the command you want to execute (regex mode is supported), or, if you don't exactly know what you're looking for, you can browse through the commands until you find the one you want to execute. Apart from this, you can delete unwanted items from your history, too, and more. It works on all terminals ranging from linux term to alacritty to xterm. It was initially made for the standard Python shell but it should work with IPython and bpython, too.
It has been my daily driver for a while now.
Check out the README for instructions if you want to try it out.
hstr-rs is a shell history suggest box that provides quick access to the commands in your shell history. Just search for the command you want to execute (regex mode is supported), or, if you don't precisely know what you're looking for, you can browse through the commands until you find the one you want to execute. Apart from this, you can delete unwanted entries from your history, too, and more. It should work on all terminals ranging from linux term to xterm. It was initially made for bash but it should work as well with zsh, ksh, and tcsh, too.
I use it on a daily basis.

> hstr is shell history suggest box. Like hstr, but with pages.
Should be "hstr-rs is shell..." I presume?
Looks like a nice project :) I'll give it a go. I've often wanted to iterate through options when ctrl-r ing in bash (not saying there isn't a way to do that, but if there is I don't know it)
Since I spend a lot of time on IRC and I often need to share something in a pastebin, I wrote a little script to help me with that process and lift some of the burdens from my back. It's called dpaster, and it's actually a command-line client interface for the dpaste.com pastebin. It's configurable and easy to use. It reads from stdin by default if no file argument is passed, which means you can use it as a part of some UNIX pipeline. It can even guess syntax to highlight (limited to pygments' guessing ability ¯_(ツ)_/¯).
I'm downloading a release from Github and the download speed does not exceed 50KBps. So, I investigated a bit what was going on and I stumbled upon the linked reddit thread. It seems that Github and Microsoft prioritize connections from the US, thus discriminating the rest of the world. Very disappointing for such a huge corporation.
