Ask HN: What rabbit hole(s) did you dive into recently?
gs (ghostscript), mutool, ocrmypdf...
To add/remove: mutool merge -h
To split PDF pages: mutool poster -h
I made a script here that I use frequently for scanned documents: https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/bin/pdf_...
Shrink PDFs: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf
(or switch prepress to ebook to shrink more)
or to really shrink, b&w only:
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray -sColorConversionStrategy=Gray -dDownsampleColorImages=true -dOverrideICC -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dColorImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dColorImageResolution=120 -dGrayImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dGrayImageResolution=120 -dMonoImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dMonoImageResolution=120 -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf

Ask HN: Why does GNU Stow (et al.) exist?
I've been putting my whole home folder under git for almost a year [1].
I haven't seen any other repos on GitHub with a similar layout. Why do people rely on GNU Stow and other complicated tools to essentially do what git does? I haven't noticed any performance problems with just using git.

My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information
The problem with a lot of these tools is there is no incremental escape hatch. I had 25,000 tabs last year which I saved as a line delimited text file.
Then every day I automate opening 7 tabs and I force myself to get through them. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour. Sometimes it ends with me adding 50 more links to the text file. Sometimes the tabs are garbage but often they are worthwhile.

But over the past year I've gone through 2,555 tabs! So it seems like it is working. Maybe in 10 years I'll reach tab zero

Yet another yt-dlp linux script
I started doing this with my phone and it made formatting my phone painless. The hardest part is getting started. I still haven't added all my config files to git; I have a daily script that will remove one line from my home directory gitignore so I can incrementally add config files. And it has already brought me a lot of peace of mind even if I'm only like 30% of the way done on the desktop.

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

Dotfiles Matter
I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.
Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

System settings that aren’t in System Settings
I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

The right way to keep config files synced across devices?
I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?
If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.
