Installing Terminator terminal emulator on macOS
Terminator is my favorite terminal and I haven't found a comparable one for macOS. On their site it says
>"To install Terminator on Mac OS X you will need to be using the [Fink](http://www.finkproject.org/) project, and have it configured to allow unstable software. With those requirements satisfied, in a terminal run:
>
>fink install terminator"
I did that. Took forever and I had to modify the Fink source code to install to my /Users/Shared folder instead since the root directory ('/') is non-writable. I disabled SIP and it still wouldn't allow me to write to it with chmod. So I re-enabled SIP and just chose the /Users/Shared folder instead.
Once I got fink installed, I ran the install terminator command and all was good. Except that I can't find terminator anywhere.
Has anyone successfully installed Terminator on their mac and can share how they managed it?

Decent/Cheap VPS host with 4GB RAM /20GB disk, postgreSQL/Tomcat, ssh in, etc?
I just went through a few iterations of installing my app on AWS. It relies on a big JVM and uses postgreSQL and Tomcat. I need at a minimum 4GB of RAM and at least 20GB of space which did not work on the AWS EC2 free tier. So, I am looking at $75 a month with the EC2 instance I had to use, although I guess I can stop the instance when I am not using it. This is an instance that would have 1 to 3 users and pretty much just on it during the day.
I googled around and it seems that I can get by with using another host that is a lot less expensive. Chatted with Fastcomet but they want me to use MySQL. Digital Ocean looks like I can get away with a system for $20/month. I would like to take a backup and/or snapshot of my system and maybe store it locally (I am not sure). It seems the DO low price, includes problems with billing/cancelling, and support does not get good reviews (although I probably would not need much, unless there are problems on their end).
There are so many companies in this VPS space out there...any advice/recommendations when it comes to the needs I mentioned? Anybody else out there have similar needs and found the right host?

jtbl: simple JSON tables in the terminal
`jtbl` just does the right thing. You pipe in JSON or JSON Lines and a beautiful table is printed. No configuring of headers. It will auto-wrap if your terminal is too narrow for the data. You can truncate vs. wrap, if you'd like, but other than that it's pretty simple and elegant.

Seeking advice on capturing Notifications
Hello. I'm trying to capture notifications that appear in the top section of Gnome (Ubuntu 19.10), such as email or discord. The end objective is to parse the notifications, and write out some data to a text file. I can't seem to find any programs that do this outright, or a file location where Ubuntu stores it's notifications. So if any of you know of either please share.
\*\*Edit\*\* I may have found something that works: [https://launchpad.net/\~jconti/+archive/ubuntu/recent-notifications](https://launchpad.net/~jconti/+archive/ubuntu/recent-notifications)
