How does it compare to Rex? (I use Rex but haven’t tried herdr so cant compare yet)

I've been waiting for Rex access! How are you using it, have you installed on different servers?

I have more faith in team behind Rex so not putting the time in for Herdr.


Or Rex ;)

damn, i don’t check this stuff for a month and boom now i must try Rex!

i signed up for the mailing list, do you just wait a bit?

happy to hear your thoughts while i wiggle in excitement!


My main issues with ghostty: the global shortcut for quick window suddenly stops working and works again only if I focus ghostty. (On a mac)

The other one is quick window goes out of the monitor if i have disconnected and connected the laptop from minitor.

Another: sometimes autocomplete suggestions are shown incorrectly in some weird location (like middle of the screen, not at the cursor), again occasionally.


I actually fixed one cause of this, which is released in 1.4.0.

https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/12714

The only other cause I've encountered is if a secure input (password) field is focused, since macOS won't give apps global keyboard events for obvious reasons. If you focus a normal text input, it should start working again.

I have noticed where macOS doesn't properly release its reference to a Secure Input properly. I've documented how to determine if this is the cause here: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/11883#issuecom...


This is such an annoying quirk of macOS, I regularly SSH to some servers I need to get my password to from 1Password, and I am apparently incapable of re-programming myself to copy the password prior to starting the SSH connection, so what happens is I SSH, open 1Password quick access (which dismisses my Ghostty-adrum quick-terminal), copy my password, and then frantically spam my quick-terminal shortcut until I remember it's blocked because macOS has decided its not allowed in the current state.

Would be great if we could opt out a few pre-determined key combinations from this system, but I guess that's never happening.

Thanks so much for maintaining Ghostty tabbed quick-terminal by the way, you're a legend <3


Aha, this explains why I've never seen this kind of thing: I don't use quick window!

You could invest in a tech index which will include by default new big tech players

After so many security issues, it’s kinda obvious to me that the present/future will need more security experts, or time invested in cybersecurity.

One thing that cybersecurity experts will always tell you, is that security is a mindset and a culture. It is not a device or an app that you can install, nor is it a person that you can hire.

Cybersecurity pros are regarded as cost centers, and often a thorn in the side of management, reminding them perpetually that they cannot do the expedient thing or the cost-cutting thing.

It is true that we need all the security experts we can get. It is also true that everyone, across the board, needs to be aware of security and their role in upholding it. You don't want "shadow IT" or social engineering to be your Achilles' heel. But without a culture of security, and this mindset pervading your corporate practices, hiring extra cybersecurity pros won't help.


It more reflect the fact that programming without deep AI verification is reckless today.

Time to push straight to master then

While the fix was not published I genuinely thought a quick service rewrite to some other stack (say Go) would make sense as a fix. (Assuming high integration test coverage )

Reminded me of when George Hotz said only Zuck has “the button”. [0]

lmao this interview sucks. Even Lex seems confused and disinterested in this conversation. Hotz is more excited about generating some sound bite than he is in explaining himself. His "the button" take is nonsense.

Also, this was 3 years ago, and he's been effectively wrong about his bet. But hey, maybe Muse Wonder is when Zucc's plan will come to fruition.


A problem though can have 100 different kind of solutions (say using lambdas, kubernetes microservices, monolithic etc etc) - so there’s a lot of creativity in place. My favourite - of course - is solving problems that one can entirely avoid solving (via out of box thinking etc)


My iPad 2021 10.2" was flawless but some weeks ago it was updated to iOS26 by mistake and it became so slow on basic stuff (like showing the keyboard). Made me terrified of doing any upgrades
