created this gnome-extension to launch a gnome terminal with separate history files. bash script gt.sh [projname] launches a gnome-terminal with a history file in ~/.histories/projname

I have a FW13, 3 yrs old, battery was getting weak, i just ordered one from FW and popped out the old one and put in a new one. Same for SSD and memory. This alone makes me stay with FW.

Are many of the packages obfuscated? Seems like here the server url was heavily obfuscated and encrypted, that is a big warning flag is it not. Auto scanning a submitted package and flagging off obfuscated / binary payloads / install scripts for further inspection could help. Am wondering how such packages get automatically promoted for distribution ..

pardon the naive question. What i don't get is these injected payload are js files, isn't there some scanning at npm upload level to look for exfiltration behaviour, bash executions of dangerous commands like rm or shred ?

Really neat. i tried a couple and it worked fine for my use case which is mainly adding a signature .. Any chance the signature size can be adjusted by dragging a corner ?

.. another cheap trick .. when juggling different projects i keep a separate history file for each under ~/.histories/ .. shameless plug to my gist .. bash script that launches gnome-terminal with a named history file ..

Not the amazing utility Atuin is .. but have been using this tiny bash script to manage named history files that i find pretty useful when juggling between projects. Have to try out Atuin and see if it is easier to use. .. sharing the gist .. https://gist.github.com/appsmatics/ff27e885460bd345eabe1c5f7...
