Marginalia: 3 Years
Summary: Marginalia Search celebrates its 3rd anniversary, having evolved from a small experiment to a full-time job for its creator. The search engine has seen significant improvements, including moving to an enterprise server and streamlining the codebase. Operational upgrades now require zero downtime, and anchor text keyword support has enhanced search relevance. The engine currently indexes 220M documents, with a goal of 1B. Future plans include improving query parsing and execution. The project is supported by NLnet, FUTO, Patreons, advocates, and users.

fd, xargs, bat = quick document review
Summary: Andrew Quinn shares a quick document review method for Markdown documents using fd, xargs, and bat. While fixing the Selkouutiset Archive, he wanted to quickly flip through generated news day documents. He used the command "fd '.fi.md$' | xargs -I _ -- batcat --paging=always _" to achieve this, helping him find broken .md files in his html2md pipeline.
