I wrote a matrix digital rain implementation in under 50 lines of pure Bash.. I chose Bash due to it being widely installed and extremely portable. With modern systems this shouldn't cause any noticable performance changes and seems more than efficent so far
Looking for feedback, contributions or whatever helps 😆. If it interest you at all, let me know what you think about it!
We just released Execa 9, which is our biggest release so far.
If you're currently using Execa, you should check out the new features! Also, if you're currently using zx or Bun shell, you might be interesting in this alternative.
Forgot to give a name to a screen when starting it? Find the id with $ screen -list and rename it like this: $ screen -rd id_number -X sessionname new_screen_name
I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out #GNUPG / #GPG to encrypt and sign backups. I've used it occasionally for literally decades, but still struggle with it. I know if I used it more, I would get used to it and feel more comfortable, but I don't have the time or the need to use it more.
Is there another good open source program to symmetrically encrypt a file? But, for signing, you would still need to use key pairs, right?
Can anyone tell me how to make fzf refresh or reload right after a key binding command completes? So you would only press one key binding, not press the desired key binding and then another to reload.
Stop Electron, stop using a browser as if it was an Operating System!!! Go #terminal#cli#TUI use your OS, not the browser for everything! And be liter, more ethical, your computer will love you! Use #Gemini#gopher#usenet#matrix#fediverse on TUI apps #vim#neovim as your text/IDE #mpv for videos and more... !!!
Any good cli/terminal spell checking programmes? Pass in a file, get an terminal interactive “replace this with that / ignore / add to dict.” workflow.
I remember using aspell(1) back in Ye Olden Days. Is that still the best?
As I've noticed it's #PortfolioDay and have seen some wonderful artwork posted by people, as a programmer, I'd like to share a project I made, a command line time tracker with the purely textual interface.
Since I spent a good deal of time designing the textual output and UX I figure it's akin to art.
The interface is natural language input of times and dates representing when you start and end tasks.
If you're on a Mac and have never used pbpaste and pbcopy on the CLI, you're missing out. I love taking the contents of my paste buffer and running sed on it to get the output I want: pbpaste| sed -e s/:/-/g #macOS#CLI
It’s bloody 2024, think we can agree on either wget or curl being installed by default on every freaking operating system by now so shell scripts can have a guaranteed way of carrying out http requests?
I mean it’s been about 35 years. I think it’s about time.
After #GUI, I've now pushed implementation of a #TUI output in #Libervia#CLI frontend, which shows A/V call video streams directly into your terminal! It's using #Kitty or #iTerm2 image protocols, or #Unicode half-blocks (thanks to #termimage)
I'm not aware of any other CLI tools doing something similar (#XMPP or not). It's not as useful as GUI, but it's quite fun :)
This cli tool might be really good for others, like me, who are new to Linux. I love it.
"eg" outputs examples of common commands you query. I tried out "eg touch" in the left panel and this is what came out. Bit more info in the right panel.
You can install it with pip ("sudo apt install pip" then "pip install eg").
