@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

@prologic@twtxt.net What can I do for you? :)

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. :-)

@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

@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

@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.

@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? 🤔

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!

@prologic@twtxt.net haha true ig! :‘)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ahh but you’re like one of a very few that actually own domains and do interesting things 😅

@bender@twtxt.net How do you explain mine then? Unless it was registered before me, then let go of and I re-registered it later? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net I will pull the email. The year is about right.

@bender@twtxt.net I’m not sure this is accurate, if you lookup mine:

$ whois shortcircuit.net.au 2>&1 | grep -i creat
created:      1986-03-05

I think this has to be the registrar’s creation date no? 🤔

@anth@a.9srv.net 24 years is quite a long time. 😳 My blog domain is from 2006 (still, almost 20 years, oof).

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz These are behind a login. 🤔

Thanks to @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz and her shelf I finally spent several hours in the woodshop. I wanted to build two drawers for the workbench and thought that I will complete this project in no time. I’ve been so wrong again. ;-)

I didn’t draw any plans, just measured a few times and then went to cutting a bunch of particle board leftovers at the table saw. I routed rebates on the sides, fronts and backs to lap the boxes and sink in the bottom. It turned out that having no plans was a stupid idea. I cut exactly on the lines as I calculated and measured, however, the math in my head fell apart when it eventually met reality. The bottoms are too short, so I gotta glue on some strips. Also, with the longer fronts, the sides won’t work either, I have to fix them as well. :-D

Finally, the lid of my cyclone bucket broke when the negative pressure got too large. Oh well. It was just an old wood glue bucket, I’ve got another empty one, so I can use that lid but strengthen it first with some plywood. Something for future Lyse to deal with.

All in all, it was still good fun. Wood (haha) do it again, but at least with some sketches on paper. ;-)

playing a bit of guitar this morning
