I feel like by the time Trump and Elon and the project 2025 gang have finished having their way with the government there won’t be any demand for COBOL or FORTRAN. It’ll all have been burned down to the ground.
Edit: Fixed twatboy’s name.
Agree. Make it as easy to read as possible. I learned this particularly after I had written a script that had a lot of nesting. It worked initially, but not for long and when I went back to debug I was like, “What the fuck was I thinking here?”
I ended up completely rewriting it to minimize the nesting and make it much more efficient and readable
That’s fantastic. I’m not using it that deeply yet. I do have other scripts for managing my media files and adding them to my server as I rip music and DVDs. I also am loving learning it and using it.
Thank you!
Oh goodness, this looks incredibly useful. Thank you!
Thank you! I always worry with a one liner that I’ll fuck something up in a bad way. In a script it helps me think about the process since it’s more visually structured, and for me it’s easier to test.
Of course! Feel free!! And thank you!
Thanks! I wrote the script in vim too! :D
I’m no vim expert but I do like it.
Recently set up OliveTin on a pi zero w for some automation scripts I wan to be able to trigger from my mobile. I’m loving it.
You’re right, but you’re also not seeing some of the great and diverse content on Lemmy. Obviously reddit has a fuckton more content. Network effect and all that, but my Lemmy feed is not as you describe. I’m subscribed to a bunch of Linux, FOSS, privacy, music, and other great communities. While I do see articles and screen caps when I browse the all feed, my curated feed is full of questions, discussions, new (to me) music and more.
It certainly takes some effort to curate a feed for yourself, but it can be done.
Fourth it. Got a framework 13 running fedora and its great.
Hyprland with Waybar. Kitty for shell, and keybindings for launching. I may add a launcher down the road but I kinda love custom keybindings for launching my apps.
I’m running Asahi on a Mac mini. There’s no battery. It’s a desktop
I’ve got an m1 Mac mini running Asahi and its great. Just make note, not all of the hardware features are 100% supported. I’m fine with what’s missing on my m1, but before you pull the trigger on an m2 Mac check the Asahi page and know exactly what machine you plan to install on. Do not buy it if you want or have to have hardware features that Asahi doesn’t support on the machine you’re planning to buy.
Everything must enshittify.
That is actually what I did, by-id. The whole operation went off without a hitch. I’m up and running with my new 512GB nvme!
It is lvm2. Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll check it out though I think I’m going to stick to the CLI for this one. I kind of want to do it manually.
I do plan to work from a bootsble USB for all the dd work so that nothing is mounted/in use.
No joke! I plan to quadruple check before I hit enter.
I’ve a nightly cronjob that runs backup using rsync for my local, and an external HDD that I stash in my work locker that I bring home once a week or so to connect to the server, run a backup script (more rsync), then take it back to work. It’s not super sophisticated, but it works, and I have tested and restored from both the local and offsite backups.
