@angrylinus Yes sure, thank you for asking; From my pacman package cache (/var/cache/packman/pkg) for every installed package I want to destill the package file with the highest version number (latest package). I already have a solution, but different insight is always interesting.

Struggling with archlinux package lists...
It is not easy for me to select the latest package file from /var/cache/pacman/pkg based on the package name from pacman -Q.
Any suggestions?

@susam
Cool! Reminds me of my surprise when I discovered those kind of color loops in bash. :)

@abcdw
My audio ended up to be messed up as well lately. But after restarting obs it works again. It always a kind of a gamble... :)

New video about my script validation framework. The two scripts calc-sum and check-sum are based on the default sha3-512sum hash function. I use both functions to generate soll-values and compare them with the ist-value of a specific script on time of execution. Enjoy the video!

@Codeberg
Thank you for your always honest status updates. I really appreciate that!

@olets
Sure. Thank you! Any help is welcome, because a comprehensive manual is hard to find! I found an old some kind of guide on the wayback machine.
Current status: I have configured completions.zsh and now working on some kind of template.

Diving into zsh completions. Because I want to build custom definitions for my tools.

Hurray! I am done with the improvement work on passr!

Passr now automatically injects a creation time when making a new entry in the password store. It also keeps track of the number of edits and time last changed via a version number.

Another major new feature is the ability to enter and extract customized key value pairs for other than the default fields. For example an email address or really any custom field.

At least for the time being I will keep the entries format. Which is: 'key: value'. Maybe change to json would be nice, but for now I see no real benefit only more complexity.

I hope that I will be able to make a video on passr soon.

Working on a improved idea regarding creation and editing password files in my beloved tool passr.
Already build in a number-of-edits-counter and laat-edit time.
Also still in doubt to migrate to toml format for the gpg file content. Any ideas?

@malachi17RV
Yeah agree 100%: the best part is no part at all. It can't interfere or break.

Lost my passr password-store today.
For an inexplicable reason I found it totally wiped out.
Therefore today I am glad my daily backup strategy - using syncr - actually works!

Made good progress on my file integrity tools lately.

Calc-sum updates sha3-512 checksums in a hash-list.

When executing my scripts I can check the file integrity with check-sum while running. This is a security measure; sometimes I type in a file by accident without noticing. But now check-sum holds the script if the file has changed and the integrity check fails. For remote files this can of course also work as an extra security tool.

I wish everybody a healthy 2025!

A demonstration of clst, my simple clipboard manager.

It is used in conjunction with the sway window manager from within a terminal running z-shell.
Further dependencies are fzf fuzzy finder and wl-clipboard.

Plans had changed; no video today. Instead I removed fzf-cpbd from my repo and wrote fzf-clst for managing a clipboard list. I am pretty happy with the workings right now.
