Using ohmyzsh and not antidote? Blocked /s

Static linking makes things difficult. I’m not sure what the details are, that’s just what I’ve heard from Rust developers.

yeah, like, supposedly it can be hard to use GPL with some rust dependencies, but the MPL is right there as a decent compromise.

Yeah, I was being pretty thick earlier today. Oopsie!

It was obvious and I was being a bit of a dummy this morning. Mea culpa.

If you want a free and massive performance optimization, remove the cat:

fastWikiLookup() { grep "$@" ~/wikipedia.txt }

Reading and piping 156 GB of data to another process every time you want to look something up is a somewhat nontrivial action. Grep can directly read the file, which should result in a pretty damn good speed up.

Hell, Bash provides filesystem-based sockets in /dev/tcp, so a tcp connection can almost be like Unix sockets or anything else.

I always found it weird that it was specifically provided by Bash…

Yeah, plus it has type hints and tooling to make said type hints mandatory.

Also, like, fuck golang, it’s such a shit language and the compiler does very little to protect you. I’d say that mypy does a better job of giving you AOT protection.

I seem to recall hearing speculation that the person behind this had their AUR packages deleted because they were posting malware. I’ve only heard this second-hand so it could be complete bullshit, but it seems plausible given some of the fucking adult babies we have out in the world.

After reading the linked page, it appears that at least some of the security issues are addressed:

Applications will be isolated from each other by default and can only interact with other applications either through a GUI prompt asking for permission, such as with screen recorders, where it will only be allowed to record the window specified or by explicitly giving the application permission before launched (such as a window manager or external compositor).

I’ll probably continue to push forward with Wayland, but I suppose I’m pleased that someone is taking a crack at trying to improve X11. The author also mentions potentially using this as a lightweight and safe replacement for xwayland.

idk who downvoted you, it’s a very common sentiment. I advocate for <<<, but a pipe is often fine when performance doesn’t matter.

Idk, writing POSIX-compliant shell is so miserable that I avoid doing it when I can. You can use Bash on BSD and all other unixes, so it’s still a relatively portable solution.

I was waiting for someone to come along with this response lmao

I’m terrible at remembering shell string operation syntax, but this is the ultimate answer.

no pipe necessary, just

sed -E 's/TH|[EL ]|DO//g' <<<"$line"

I was also curious, so I looked it up. This was the motivation for developing kiot:

I have a script lower my blinds if I turn on the camera during the afternoon as otherwise there’s an annoying glare. My office lights and monitor both have a redder hue at night, but disabling night-mode on my PC automatically disables the main light performing redshift too. I want my screen to turn off not 10 minutes after activity, which is simultaneously both annoyingly too long and too short, but the moment the motion sensor in my room says I’ve left.

It lets you control various light/sound aspects of your computer via HA. Here’s what it lets you control.

I’m surprised the comments aren’t worse over there. The Phoronix comments section shares a striking resemblance to YouTube, but I had to go like 2-3 pages in before the chuds really started rolling in.

People are submitting AI generated bug bounty reports to projects and are hiding the fact that they’re AI.

EDIT: I probably should have linked this one.

Most of my open terminals are using 9 MiB, although one is using 17.

It’s just faster and smoother when scrolling text, and all the work of shifting those pixels is pushed off onto specialized hardware that’s much more efficient at it. I use alacritty which is a different GPU-accelerated terminal emulator and I’m very fond of it. It’s not a huge deal, I just figure that if I have the hardware, I might as well use it.

Holy shit this sounds rad as fuck. I hope you do eventually write that book.
