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"

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.

Relevant XKCD.

Open source can be enshittified. FOSS with many contributors should be basically proof against being fucked with.

CAD was a big problem for me as well. I’ve been happy enough with OnShape (coming from Autodesk Inventor), but the extreme SaaS nature of it makes me worry.

I’m not using it because it would be extremely inconvenient for me, but I think that the English language deserves to have the thorn returned to it.

Where would be manually modifying modules.dep and map files on this, I wonder?

Anubis has worked if that’s happening. The point is to make it computationally expensive to access a webpage, because that’s a natural rate limiter. It kinda sounds like it needs to be made more computationally expensive, however.

Do you have any sources for the 10x memory thing? I’ve seen people who have made memory usage claims, but I haven’t seen benchmarks demonstrating this.

EDIT: glibc-based images wouldn’t be using service managers either. PID 1 is your application.

EDIT: In response to this:

There’s a reason a huge portion of docker images are alpine-based.

After months of research, my company pushed thousands and thousands of containers away from alpine for operational and performance reasons. You can get small images using glibc-based distros. Just look at chainguard if you want an example. We saved money (many many dollars a month) and had fewer tickets once we finished banning alpine containers. I haven’t seen a compelling reason to switch back, and I just don’t see much to recommend Alpine outside of embedded systems where disk space is actually a problem. I’m not going to tell you that you’re wrong for using it, but my experience has basically been a series of events telling me to avoid it. Also, I fucking hate the person that decided it wasn’t going to do search domains properly or DNS over TCP.

Debian is superior for server tasks. musl is designed to optimize for smaller binaries on disk. Memory is a secondary goal, and cpu time is a non-goal. musl isn’t meant to be fast, it’s meant to be small and easily embedded. Those are great things if you need to run in a network/disk constrained environment, but for a server? Why waste CPU cycles using a libc that is, by design, less time efficient?

EDIT: I had to fight this fight at my job. We had hundreds of thousands of Alpine containers running, and switching them to glibc-based containers resulted in quantifiable cloud spend savings. I’m not saying musl (or alpine) is bad, just that you have horses for courses.

Is it? I thought the thing that musl optimized for was disk usage, not memory usage or CPU time. It’s been my experience that alpine containers are worse than their glibc counterparts because glibc is damn good. It’s definitely faster in many cases. I think this is fixed now, but I remember when musl made the python interpreter run like 50-100x slower.

EDIT: musl is good at what it tries to be good at. It’s not trying to be the fastest, it’s trying to be small on disk or over the network.

I learned to program by shitting out God awful shell scripts that got gently thrashed by senior devs. The only way I’ve ever learned anything is by having a real-world problem that I can solve. You absolutely do NOT need a CS degree to learn software dev or even some of compsci itself, and I agree that tools like Bolt are going to make shit harder. It’s one thing to copy stack overflow code because you have people arguing about it in the comments. You get to hear the pros and cons and it can eventually make sense. It’s something entirely different when an LLM shits out code that it can’t even accurately describe later.

B-b-but TempleOS isn’t Linux!

There’s also ZZ 👉😎👉 Same caveats apply, smash that fukken esc key (for bonus points rebind caps lock as esc) then ZZ Top your way out of that shit.

This beautiful series of images and the corresponding text from old reddit. Folks, I present kinder surprise sorry. Old reddit was a fun place sometimes.

God, can we not though? Haha funni meme and all, but like, I’m so tired of seeing this shit. It sucks for the women in the community, and honestly it sucks for the men too. It’s just such boomer humor.

Eh, I’m fine with man pages. I looked at tldr before, but I’ve been using the command line for many things almost exclusively for like 10+ years now. I usually just need the reference details.
