RecoverPy 2.0: Recover deleted or overwritten files from your terminal
Repo: https://github.com/PabloLec/RecoverPy Hi! I just released RecoverPy version 2.0.0 and wanted to share it with you. RecoverPy is a tool with Terminal User Interface to recover deleted and/or overwritten data from your terminal. Version 1.0.0 was released probably around 2 years ago and I was quite amazed by how popular it got :) The initial audience was people trying to recover lost files, but it stuck with hacking/forensics community, I even got to receive mails to appear in hacking magazines and blogs. That was quite unanticipated but I'm glad it's useful…
In plain words
RecoverPy is a terminal-based tool that recovers deleted or overwritten files from the command line using a text-based interface. It is designed for users who have lost data due to accidental deletion or overwriting, and has gained adoption in the hacking and forensics communities. Version 2.0 represents a major update to the original tool released approximately two years earlier.

Repo: https://github.com/PabloLec/RecoverPy Hi! I just released RecoverPy version 2.0.0 and wanted to share it with you. RecoverPy is a tool with Terminal User Interface to recover deleted and/or overwritten data from your terminal. Version 1.0.0 was released probably around 2 years ago and I was quite amazed by how popular it got :) The initial audience was people trying to recover lost files, but it stuck with hacking/forensics community, I even got to receive mails to appear in hacking magazines and blogs. That was quite unanticipated but I'm glad it's useful to other people :) I got the idea when I was a noobie coder and, among other flaws, didn't use any VC. I worked all day long on a script when instead of outputting my script execution to a file I... output my log file content into my script file, then bam, my script was gone. I searched for solutions to recover it, the thing is it was not just "deleted", the file was still present, but its content has been overwritten. So after some research, I found it was possible to recover it with mostly a combination of grep and dd. RecoverPy is just that, it uses grep and dd under the hood and eases the whole process. So in the past few weeks (a few hours during past weekends) I worked on an entire TUI framework switch. Previously I used a dated, unmaintained Python TUI framework, finding a sexy and fresh one was quite difficult when I started the project :/ But months ago I saw the textual project and was amazed by the result. I was only waiting for some widgets to be available (I didn't want to reinvent to wheel) to jump into it. Textual is just amazing honestly and I can only recommend it if you need a Python TUI framework. I'd be happy to hear any feedback, issue, bug, etc. RecoverPy worked quite well on previous version, 1.5.2, the heavy rework may have introduced some new bugs. Furthermore, if you want to contribute you're also more than welcome! RecoverPy code is quite simple and textual TUI framework enables a modern asyncio workflow and I think, is a good playground if you want to step up.

This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma...

The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
