GNU Recutils
Fred and George, Turtles in love There are hundreds of cool command line tools that have been made over the years built on the unix philosophy. Plain text is powerful, ubiquitous, and human-centric. It was also the only option for computing for quite a while. It’s no surprise that some of the most sophisticated tools are focused on it. One such package is GNU Recutils, a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable, plain text databases called recfiles.

⚡ Instead of a flat text file, every command lands in a queryable database.
atuin search --exit 0 --after "yesterday 3pm" make
Filter by success, time, directory or session — the kind of query a plain .bash_history can never answer.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
has been leaving the digital keys to its own cloud storage accounts sitting out in the open, in plain text form,
for some unknown amount of time,
according to a report from Krebs on Security.
The problem finally got fixed over the weekend, the report says.
The repository was reportedly named “Private-CISA.”
The contents included passwords, keys, and tokens
—and the passwords were plain …

You can now ask the Gemini app to directly generate “downloadable and ready-to-share files.” Google wants you...

Happy Monday everyone. 🌻 If you're already struggling, here is a friendly reminder.

Anybody know what the easiest way to render a LaTeX file to plain text is?
Note, I do *not* mean stripping markup from the source .tex. I want to actually run all of the macros, generate cross references and ToCs, etc and *then* output UTF8 text rather than say PDF.

"The Star collected 4,242 decisions and directives from municipal websites across Ontario, either as existing PDFs *or by converting text versions into PDFs*" (emphasis mine) and then analyzed the text using an LLM. Points for using LLMs for what they're meant to be used for, but requiring input be in PDF format instead of plain text is *insane*.

We don't need 5 new incompatible protocols to let us build websites in a minimalist manner. You can literally just build a text-only website today with plain HTML. You don't even have to define a background color. If the point is to use technology intentionally, then simply do that.

The Escape From Politics
Somewhere in the source code of a website the public was never meant to see, a secret society for the people who run the world kept a list of its members in plain text, sitting in the page where anyone who thought to look could read it....

All #Mastodon API endpoints are also in place – some implemented, the rest as stubs. Next step: …

🤡 No joke – this is literally how the industry works:
1. Company sends me an NDA 📝
2. Then they email me login credentials – plain text, no temporary link, nothing… and four people in CC ✉️
Honestly, the fact that like 99% of companies still send passwords via email is insane. You can only imagine what other security issues they have.
And when they eventually get hacked, they’ll tell their insurance:
"We did everything in our power to… blah blah blah…"
