Hi fellow reader,

I'm ririxi, core maintainer of spicetify. Some people asked me to do a technical explanation of what spotify shipped with macOS Intel versions. This would be my first time writing a post like this, so I apologize for any inscriptions.

What is V8 context snapshot?

Spotify under the hood uses CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) which is a framework around chromium, essentially electron but for C++. Chromium uses a V8 which is a Javascript engine created by Google. V8 can generate serialized representation (bytecode) of the V8 engine's heap. It contains pre-initialized JavaScript objects and functions.

`sudo` on PowerShell

Microsoft plans on adding a sudo like command on windows (info and controversy)
But what if... you could already use it ? 🤭

Prerequisites

Have the newer version of powershell installed.
If you plan on using the old one, replace pwsh with powershell

Discord on Linux : auto upgrade and auto install BetterDiscord

If you've installed discord on Linux through apt, you know how much of a pain it is to manually download and install it every now and then. It's even worse if you're having to reinstall BetterDiscord every time
So here's 2 simple scripts to fix this :

`launch-discord.sh`

Versatile script to launch discord
Auto launches the upgrade script if needed (have to be in the same folder)
Detaches the Discord instance from the terminal once done

Complete Recent Discord Quest

VS Code : install extensions from a file

To export all installed extensions

Xfer Records - Serum - Changelog / Release Notes

Note: This was originally extracted from the HTML returned from the https://xferrecords.com/api/update_check/serum API, converted to markdown, and then formatted manually / cleaned up a bit further. It probably won't be kept strictly up to date, but it should at least serve as a useful historical record.

Note: For releases that I had access to the *.exe/*.dmg/*.pkg files for, I have also included the SHA256 hashes of the official downloads; so that they can be used to verify the authenticity of any versions that you might come across. At time of writing, the first version below that includes the hashes is 1.36b8 (October 11 2023)
