Do we need lnav thread every 3 weeks?
4 comments

First I'd heard of it. I have wanted a tool like this for a while.
Same, and I'm working on an IoT project that precisely needs this (superhigh$ per device, don't need scale or efficiency)
Yes /s

Not everyone checks out daily HN to see all the reposts. Pulling numbers out of the air, I'd say that 5-10% of daily content on HN is a repost, should get used to it. Just hide it an carry on is what I would suggest.

Keep a log of how often it occurs and we can review it... in lnav
lnav is pretty great. I wish it had a library that could be pulled out into an app instead of a terminal. There are a few things that make more sense with a GUI like standard keyboard shortcuts, filtering, saving exports, etc.
Not saying there's something wrong with lnav - just that spamming HN every 3 weeks isn't great.

There were submissions with links to lnav.org main site:

It's a spam campaign from my pov.

Do you browse new? None of these have had more than a couple points since https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9294622 in 2015.

It seems very reasonable that most visitors simply never saw any of those submissions.

Five submissions in 70 days is rather less than a spam campaign in my view.
