Buffera: a free, open-source clipboard history manager for macOS

·1 views

The author built Buffera after years of dissatisfaction with the paid clipboard manager Pasta, which failed to address recurring problems. The app keeps a searchable history of copied text, links, images, and files, with filtering by date and source app, favorites, and custom labels. It also offers export to text or Markdown files, file-based access to copied images, and semantic search. Text recognition in images, semantic search, and a built-in assistant run locally on the device, and these features can be disabled to avoid downloading models. The tool is free and open source and requires macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon.

Node.js File Exports Using Short-Lived Presigned Download Links

The article recommends authorizing each export request in the application, then returning a short-lived, object-specific presigned URL so large files bypass the app's servers. Such a link acts as a bearer credential, so it should be handled like a password that expires on a fixed schedule. Exports move through states such as queued, ready, expired, and revoked, and downloads are allowed only for ready records whose deadlines have not passed. Object keys are generated server-side from opaque IDs to avoid authorization flaws in path handling. The approach fits completed, non-sensitive results, but data needing instant revocation or per-viewer watermarking requires a more controlled delivery layer.

Generic Sensor Names Create Costly Maintenance Problems, Experts Say

Sensors left with default names like 'Contact 23' make it hard for technicians to match a device on a dashboard to its physical location during maintenance. This retrieval gap leads to wasted site visits, hard-to-audit automations, and battery replacements sent to the wrong unit. The article recommends a simple positional naming scheme of room, object, and role, applied at pairing time on site. It also advises keeping a one-page per-property device table with names, locations, models, and quirks, along with physical tags on each device.

Codex CLI's queue command sends messages to running or unloaded sessions from another shell

Codex CLI 0.149.0 introduced a command that lets users send messages to existing local or remote sessions from outside the session. Version 0.166.0, released October 29, added a --resume flag so messages can also wake sessions that are not currently loaded. Sessions can be targeted by an exact name, set with the /rename command inside the terminal interface, or by UUID, which is safer for unattended scripts. Queued messages use the session's existing model and accept text only, with no image attachments. The official documentation also notes that --resume requires a running local daemon or a remote server, and that a zero exit code does not guarantee the session actually resumed.
