@bender@twtxt.net Haha fine 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net where on IRC? Network, channel, nick? IRC is vast! It’s like saying, “meet me in Australia, and we go from there!” 😅

@javivf@adn.org.es Hit me up on IRC or something and we’ll get started 👌

Was feeling kind of blue, then a bird pooped on me

@bender@twtxt.net it’s here!!!! i’m so happy with it :DDD hugo is awesome, i just found astro to be easiest to customize!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz so, where is the site? Show us, show us! I use Hugo exclusively, just a binary. My sites also build upon a commit, on my own VPS. 🙈

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’m so obsessed like now i actually wanna play with the site more https://bytes.4-walls.net/kat/eunoia-astro

that site of mine i mentioned earlier? well it’s now statically generated with astro, AND it automatically builds and deploys after i push changes to my own git instance, with the power of sourcehut builds! this is so cool

@prologic@twtxt.net hahahah i chose astro!

@prologic@twtxt.net noted!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeahhh very true stuff. find is annoying af i just use fd when i can

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s so annoying!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :DDD

YouTube just went from this:

To this:

Why.

Red for “activated” and dark gray for “deactivated” was easy to recognize.

Now we have light gray for “activated” and dark gray for “deactivated”. It’s clearly worse.

Why, why, why.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You don’t need to change the directory first in line 11, you can just create the directory, that’s sufficient since you’re having an absolute path.

The echo in line 13 is useless, you can simplify this to: newdir="$WD/$now" If you reversed this line with the previous one, you could make use of the variable in the directory creation: mkdir "$newdir".

In line 16, pull the directory change out of the loop upfront. The loop body doesn’t modify the working directory, so no need to reset it with each cycle. In fact, you could even spare the cd altogether when you simply tell find where to look: find "$basedir" -type f….

I didn’t try it, but if I read the manpage correctly, you should be able to simplify line 19 as well:

-C Change to DIR before performing any operations. This option is order-sensitive, i.e. it affects all options that follow.

Hence, remove the cd and put the -C "$WD" as the first argument to tar. Again, I didn’t try it. Proceed with caution.

Finally, you don’t need to specify the full path to rm in line 21. I bet, /bin is in your PATH. When you removed the previous cd from my last suggestion, the relative path that follows won’t work anymore. So, just use the absolute path that you already have in a variable: rm -rf "$newdir"

I hope you find this tiny review a wee bit useful. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Tux plushie is life, Tux plushie is best friend 🤘

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I’m also having them in my repertoire for ages, so I’m used to the weird command line options. From today’s perspective, they’re not consistent with the rest of the typical shell utilities, that’s for sure.

Regarding find | grep foo, I recommend find -name '*foo*', prologic. Also, I regularly use -type d and -type f to find directories or files.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Nothing wrong with handwritten HTML. That’s often superior to generated stuff I believe. :-)

Farrrk me Google search is and these days. Will they please “fuck off” with this Gemini AI garbage at the top that takes forever and is distracting as shit™ 💩 Fark me 🤦‍♂️ #Google #Search #Sucks #AI #Gemini

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I actually use sift a lot these days for most “searching” – at least code and text searching. For finding files by name I still use find | grep.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @prologic@twtxt.net Given that all these programs are super old (tar is from the late 1970ies), while trying to retain backwards-compatibilty, I’m not surprised that the UI isn’t too great. 🤔

find has quite a few pitfalls, that is very true. At work, we don’t even use it anymore in more complex scenarios but write Python scripts instead. find can be fast and efficient, but fewer and fewer people lack the knowledge to use it … The same goes for Shell scripting in general, actually.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It’s also perfectly safe to nuke your cache as well. i.e: rm data/cache* and it’s all good, things will just get rebuilt 👌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I totally recommend zs 🤣 It powers all my sites! 😅 https://twtxt.dev https://yarn.socia/ https://prologic.dev etc 😎

i got so emo about my site not being statically generated and instead hand coded but it’s like i don’t even know if i want that because i feel most SSGs are built for blogging and continuous posting and i don’t want that i just want to make my silly pages….

that being said, the one i’d use if i did switch to one would be astro and that one is so flexible i could really do anything with it including keeping my pages as is mostly without doing the blog stuff. idk! something to consider

i still want a tux plushie ngl. i’m gonna draft my sister (she can sew) into making me one

@prologic@twtxt.net haven’t noticed anything weird in the logs! i’ll let you know if it happens again and monitor more closely though. it was def weird!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Hmmm Please if this happens again, help me reproduce it. Any clues in the logs? Hmm? 🧐 My own pod has been running flawlessly for weeks now 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same here, you do get used to things over time and build a sort-of “muscle memory”. But you’re right, maybe they have terrible interfaces and usage options? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de the flags are SO WEIRD AND CONFUSING especially tar which all look keysmashed and make no sense and the order matters apparently?!?! and find is SO SLOW and when i look at a typical command for it on stack overflow it looks like fucking regex it’s EVILLLLL LMAO

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz What’s wrong with them? I’ve been doing this for so long now, I don’t see the issues anymore. 🤣 (Doesn’t mean they don’t exist.)

The album I got by accident is starting to grow on me. Not that bad. 🤔 It’s Dredg – El Cielo, btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4JB8rmXaO8&list=PLRASiMqDV8psZSFQi7nUX4p0R8oRHbUy_&index=1

last night my timeline randomly reset to only show my own recent twts and i restarted my instance a few times and pulled from main and shit and it didn’t change but it seems fine now lol?!

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club awww ty! it’s mostly fun stuff and links to my friends :) the buttons have been revived by indie web folks and the people at neocities, it’s super fun!

@bender@twtxt.net I like to self-host 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net you are certainly a special case of a luddite. Or you like to self-punish. Or both! LOL.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I know 😢 Don’t have Disney+, hell I don’t have many streaming services at all really 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net yes, @xuu@txt.sour.is was the one who mention it. That’s on Disney+, though.

Hmmm Star Wars Andor I think it was 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh I see. That reminds me, I was going to start watching something someone recommended here hmmm 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL. It is from the Severance, AppleTV+ series. I am about to finish watching it with my kid—well, what’s available for seeing. The series is still ongoing. I recommend it!

@bender@twtxt.net Huh? 🤔

“Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”

Anyone want to help me alpha/beta test the new WAF I’m building? It’s a Caddy module. 🤔

I just have to say the buttons page gives me the warm fuzzies with all the old school animated gifs. The internet seemed so fun back then…

made the HTML for one of my static handwritten sites semantic!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz my terrible script https://bytes.4-walls.net/kat/dotfiles/src/branch/main/scripts/Scripts/tinypin-log.sh

tar and find were written by the devil to make sysadmins even more miserable
