What if that's only you? Git isn't made only for those who "just want to install something"

Is that quiz correct? I have answered mostly C or D and maybe a few of B, but still got "Beginner". How?!

New comment by jurakovic in "The View from RSS"

jurakovic — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 22:20:30 +0000

I love RSS but I didn't find good enough online reader that can be customized to my liking, so I built my own: https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/

I have many more ideas, but I don't have that much free time to implement all of it (even with Claude Code). But it serves me very well for now

Show HN: Save time and open directly "All Branches"

jurakovic — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:56:11 +0000

Most of the time, I want to see the complete branch list rather than a subset filtered by some criteria. I found the default filtered views on GitHub to be more of a hindrance than a help. Since GitHub does not provide a built-in option to change this default behavior, I created this extension to automatically redirect to the "All Branches" view.

I've been using this extension personally for quite some time to streamline my daily workflow. Eventually, I expanded it to support Azure DevOps as well, and decided to make it publicly available for other developers who maybe share the same preference.

How is that jungle if someone aks you to give them your wallet and you just give it away? What was he thinking?

I see, but yes and no. He is maybe the most active among them, but for that precise reason (I have it from the beginning, not after I stared reading his blog :)) I show only last 5 posts of each blog, to not pollute that list. This way everyone has a chance to stay longer on that list.

Here is my "rss reader" https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/

I wanted to have a list of latest posts of blogs I follow and that I can access it quickly from both PC and mobile phone without any signing in. Then I decided to do it myself like that. There is a github workflow that runs automatically every 6 hours and updates that page.

Here is my feed: https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/#blogs

And here is my "rss reader": https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/ :)

Although I myself don't have a blog, for past few months I think about starting a new one. We'll see.

New comment by jurakovic in "Show HN: FFmpeg Pages – because I was tired of fighting FFmpeg"

jurakovic — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 17:27:36 +0000

Why build "pages" with so much overhead though? Let alone with so many mistakes (as other pointed them out). It could be simple github readme or even just gist

Show HN: Guidrep – a simple command-line tool for replacing GUIDs (UUIDs)

jurakovic — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 20:46:10 +0000

Hello,

I needed to replace all GUIDs in a file with the new ones in order to reimport expored data, so I created this simple tool that anyone can use.

Below is part of description from GitHub: guidrep is a simple command-line tool for replacing GUIDs (UUIDs) in text files or standard input. It reads the input, replaces all GUIDs with new randomly generated ones, and ensures that any repeated GUIDs in the original are replaced with the same new GUID.

This tool is especially useful for preparing JSON data for re-import, anonymizing data exports, or resetting identifiers in configuration files.

Inspired by this Stack Overflow question and answers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2201740/replacing-all-gu...

New comment by jurakovic in "Keeping a Changelog at Work (2020)"

jurakovic — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 21:09:34 +0000

I have myself started practising this at the beginning of this year when I changed job. I have all my notes in git repo as well as a changelog file. But changelog is more like a timetrack file.

In repo I have also commit.sh script [1] (for which I have also desktop shortcut) and at the end of work day I simply run it and (after a few more confirmations) turn of laptop and go home.

For quite some time I wanted to make a simple 2FA CLI tool with basic functionality for personal use. So I made it over the last few days and released v1.0.0 now.

I'm not sure if I understand it correctly. Database needs to be exposed over the internet so that this app could connect to it?

In fact RANDOM.ORG uses "atmospheric noise, originating from lightning strikes in the planet's atmosphere" as (one of?) seed for generating data

I did something similar from backup files for one of my projects. Although I did it mostly manually. It's on GitHub now at https://github.com/jurakovic/Comets-Archive
