`archivebox2linkwarden.js`

Description

This script automates the import of ArchiveBox snapshots into a Linkwarden instance by directly executing SQL against the Postgres database and arranging the archived files into Linkwarden's expected directory structure. Just make sure to have a backup of your Linkwarden database before running this script just in case.

It handles two connection modes:

Docker mode: Executes psql inside a running Postgres container via docker exec, specified by the --postgres-container-id flag.

Make Ubuntu packages 90% faster by rebuilding them

TL;DR

You can take the same source code package that Ubuntu uses to build jq, compile it again, and realize 90% better performance.

Setting

I use jq for processing GeoJSON files and other open data offered in JSON format. Today I am working with a 500MB GeoJSON file that contains the Alameda County Assessor's parcel map. I want to run a query that prints the city for every parcel worth more than a threshold amount. The program is

How to keep using adblockers on chrome and chromium

google's manifest v3 has no analouge to the webRequestBlocking API, which is neccesary for (effective) adblockers to work
starting in chrome version 127, the transition to mv3 will start cutting off the use of mv2 extensions alltogether
this will inevitably piss of enterprises when their extensions don't work, so the ExtensionManifestV2Availability key was added and will presumably stay forever after enterprises complain enough

You can use this as a regular user, which will let you keep your mv2 extensions even after they're supposed to stop working

Linux

In a terminal, run:

	# A single-file pure-python implementation of UUIDv7: (e.g. 01941230-851a-77fd-9b0b-8c8eac3b2d23)
	# - makes sure UUIDv7s are always generated in alphabetic order (using system time + nanoseconds + extra monotonic random bits)
	# - store millisecond, microsecond, nanosecond / variable precision timestamps all using same format
	# - graceful degradation in precision, falls back to monotonic urandom bytes depending on user-provided timestamp precision
	# - fully compatible with standard UUIDv7 spec (48 bit millisecond unix epoch time with rand_a & rand_b monotonic randomness)
	# - allows you to generate a UUIDv7 with a given timestamp (of any precision), and parse the timestamp back out from any UUIDv7
	# - helps guarantee that UUIDv7s generated back-to-back in the same thread are always monotonically sortable
	# - helps lower the risk of UUIDv7s colliding with other UUIDv7s generated in other threads / on other machines
