This Gist details a solution for reclaiming control over a macOS system when using older versions of Bash and the sandboxed App Store version of WireGuard cause issues. The core problem is that macOS's system Bash is outdated (version 3.2), which breaks modern scripts. Additionally, the App Store WireGuard client stores configurations in the Keychain, making them inaccessible to the command-line interface.
The solution involves installing a modern Bash and WireGuard tools via Homebrew, fixing terminal issues with terminfo, configuring the root environment's PATH, and rescuing WireGuard configurations from the Keychain. By following these steps, users can establish a functional WireGuard CLI setup on their macOS systems, bypassing the limitations imposed by the system's default configuration.

Milad Alizadeh introduces 'kitcat', a new matplotlib backend designed for plotting directly within compatible terminals. Frustrated with Jupyter notebooks as a development environment, the author sought a leaner, script-based workflow for matplotlib plotting. Kitcat leverages the graphic protocol popularized by Kitty, allowing image data to be sent via escape codes to terminals supporting this functionality, such as Yazi.
The backend encodes PNG pixel data into base64 and transmits it, supporting chunked data for larger images. While acknowledging the existence of 'matplotlib-backend-kitty', kitcat aims for broader compatibility across terminals supporting the protocol. Future development may include support for iTerm2 animations and the Sixel graphics standard.

kitty-plotnine (k-nine) is a command-line tool that allows users to create plots directly within their terminal using the plotnine library and the terminal graphics protocol supported by terminals like Kitty, Konsole, and WezTerm. It aims for simplicity and ease of use, enabling one-liner plotting for quick data visualization. The tool supports various data formats like CSV, space-separated numbers, and JSONL. It offers features like customization through the Grammar of Graphics, faceting, and even documentation lookup for plotnine elements. It's designed for those who prefer a terminal-centric workflow and quick visual analysis.
Ghostty 1.2, a cross-platform terminal, has been released with significant improvements for Linux users, including a GTK rewrite for better performance, quick terminal support with Wayland, a command palette, background image support, and more.
This repository contains build scripts to produce an unofficial Ubuntu package (.deb) for Ghostty. It includes instructions for installing and updating Ghostty on various Ubuntu versions, with a focus on providing an easy-to-install package for the community.
