Bored on holidays or miss Omegle? Come chat with us on MeroChat!

It's a web based random chat where you're presented with a flow of user profiles, whom you can choose to chat with. And of course someone else might find you the same way and send you a message out of the blue (provided your privacy settings allow it).

And here's the code. (Written in PureScript!) A lot remains to be done but it's a joyful thing already.

You can visit the website, or even better, curl for what you want.

$ curl cht.sh/touch

gets you this:

 cheat:touch 
# To change a file's modification time:
touch -d <time> <file>
touch -d 12am <file>
touch -d "yesterday 6am" <file>
touch -d "2 days ago 10:00" <file>
touch -d "tomorrow 04:00" <file>

# To put the timestamp of a file on another:
touch -r <refrence-file> <target-file>

Append with ~ and a word to show only help containing that word:

$ curl cht.sh/zstd~compress

Result:

 tldr:zstd 
# zstd
# Compress or decompress files with Zstandard compression.
# More information: <https://github.com/facebook/zstd>.

# Decompress a file:
zstd -d path/to/file.zst

# Decompress to `stdout`:
zstd -dc path/to/file.zst

# Compress a file specifying the compression level, where 1=fastest, 19=slowest and 3=default:
zstd -level path/to/file

# Unlock higher compression levels (up to 22) using more memory (both for compression and decompression):
zstd --ultra -level path/to/file

For more usage tips, curl cht.sh/:help.

A fun little site from our friends at Last Week Tonight. Type what you want then hit "SCREAM"

If only Crayola would let you name colors and order your own pack of crayons.

I've been using the app for about an hour. The rain noise simulations are pretty relaxing. (They also have colored noise in the free version. Some colors are named but others are just their equivalents in hertz. For example green noise is 500hz) This is a better alternative than the ones that make you pay. The free version here gives you a bunch for free. The trial lets you test out premium sounds. I'm gonna test out how well it might help me sleep, tonight.
