I maintain dasel on Debian [1], and It's such a nice tool! I don't use most of its advanced capabilities, but being able to convert from/to any of those formats with a single tool is very useful.

I use senpai+soju+gamja and they all work very well together.


Yeah it's a ton of quality of life upgrades that stack up to make quite a modern experience on IRC (as modern as possible...)


In Brazil we have Lattes (https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plataforma_Lattes). The English translation does not mention it, but one of it's most useful features is a centralized resume platform. It's quite nice, but mostly used by people in academia and government-adjacent areas.

wcurl does a lot more than that, though: parallel downloads, retries, following redirects (and other things, that are all written in the blog post).

There's also some value in providing a ready-to-use wrapper for users that install the curl package. Maybe wcurl will also show up in other distributions after a while, especially since Daniel also likes the idea.

Debian.


Off the top of my head, Andreas Kling and Casey Muratori don't fall into any of those buckets. There are probably more examples as well.


Yes, you'll always have some that don't fit the mold. Off the top of my head:

bisqwit

pwnfunction

cherno

However, it's like picking through a dung pile looking for the needle, or something like that. You're better off reading some books, the news, experimenting on your own, etc.
