    Hey all I've been working on a personal project I wanted to share with the community: CR - Mac Helper. It's a collection of shell scripts designed to help you manage, clean, and optimise our Macs :) https://github.com/caioricciuti/cr-mac-helper As a data engineer/developer, I've accumulated a ton of apps and tools on my Mac over the years, and I was tired of manual cleanup and maintenance. So, I built this to automate the process. Here's what CR - Mac Helper can do: App Cleanup: Thoroughly remove applications and their associated files. Path Management: Fix broken…

    I recently had the "opportunity" to recover a database from being accidentally `rm -rf`'ed. In the process decided the best route is to implement InnoDB storage format and scan the disk for any and all record we can still find.

    In my spare time I've been trying to solve the problem of network filesystems being too slow. To that end I've created CacheFS. CacheFS keeps a lazy local copy of your network drive in an attempt to make your network drive appear as fast as your local drive. The project is far from consumer-ready, but it has hit a major milestone: It caches reads and doesn't appear to corrupt anything. I'm throwing it out here in the off-chance that someone else finds it useful, and for constructive feedback. Enjoy! https://github.com/cconstantine/CacheFS

    It's quite limited but does the job, I invite anybody not aware of what cram tests are to give them a try, being on Unix with the original cram or Windows with this one ;)

    Yesterday, I found myself writing a little C throwaway script to test something out. That happens often enough to clutter my HOME and some other directories with these useless text files and binaries. So I thought that I can use a repl instead. Quick google search didn't find any good and tested solutions. So I wrote my own with help of a tcc compiler. Why POSIX Shell? Because it would be far too easy in a normal language (it'd probably take me ~10 minutes to rewrite this in Nim) and where is fun in that?

    I made this because most cleanup tools don't show what they're deleting. This one lets you browse everything first and exclude what you want to keep. deletes go to Trash by default.

    Hello all, I found myself rewriting the same shell scripts to distribute my binaries over and again, so I decided to put them in a repository and serve them with a prettier URL - to have nicer READMEs for my projects. I'll add some other tasks like installing/uninstalling on Windows, but in general ideas are welcome. Maybe somebody else finds them useful!

    We have been working on tools for safe debloating of software for a few years now at the university. BLAFS is one of our first tools to release for file debloating, a bloat-aware filesystem for container debloating. It detects the files used by the container, and the debloats the container removing the unused files. The debloated containers are fully functional and can run the same workload as the original containers, but with a much smaller size and faster deployment. Check the paper for more details: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.04641
