I wonder whether there are any opportunities (for me) to work with #activitypub and #fediverse. My background is in #PHP (decoupled #Drupal), but I am keen to diversify into other languages. I also have solid experience with #REST, #bash and CLI tools.

#Fedihire

LOL, recursive script and sed = clobbered myself, ha ha. Who needs a malicious AI when you have a defective brain-to-fingers interface? 🤪 #bash

Decades-Old #Bash Tricks Expose #AI Coding Agents to Supply Chain Attacks

Here is a "sketch of concept".
I am not satisfied with it, but it may be better than nothing.
(Relying on a DEBUG trap isn't really a good thing here, in my view.)

(1) Example transcript:

$ echo hello
hello
Ready(0); E=0.00 s 10:21:42
$ sleep 1.5
Ready(0); E=1.50 s 10:22:06
$
Ready(0); E=1.50 s 10:22:07
$ false | sleep 3.456
Ready(1 0); E=3.46 s 10:22:47
$
Ready(1 0); E=3.46 s 10:22:50
$ :
Ready(0); E=0.00 s 10:22:55
$
Ready(0); E=0.00 s 10:23:01

(2) Bash source for the above:

### Print the elapsed time for the previous command before each bash prompt.
### Uses a DEBUG trap and the PROMPT_COMMAND variable.

prompt__elapsed_time=""; #Keeping state.

function prompt__print_prompt () {
declare -r s="${PIPESTATUS[*]}";
if [[ "${prompt__elapsed_time}" == "" ]]; then
## The prompt does not change on just pressing Return (no command).
prompt__elapsed_time="$(printf '%s - %s\n' "${EPOCHREALTIME}" "${prompt__start_time}" | bc)";
fi;
## Imitate IBM z/VM's CMS (partly: the latter prints user time and system time):
printf 'Ready(%s); E=%.2f s %s\n' "${s}" "${prompt__elapsed_time}" "$(date +%H:%M:%S)";
}

function prompt__set_time () {
if [[ "${BASH_COMMAND}" != "prompt__print_prompt" ]]; then
prompt__elapsed_time="";
prompt__start_time=${EPOCHREALTIME};
fi;
}

trap prompt__set_time DEBUG;
PROMPT_COMMAND=prompt__print_prompt;

I feel a madness slowly creeping into my mind, and it whispers to me,

"Write your own version of the #ed editor in #bash, just for giggles."

NOOOO!! I WILL NOT!!

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!

In the #shell #functions I should have written years ago category...

function fedilinktousername {
    grep -oE 'https?://[^/]+/@[^/ ]+' |sed -E 's|https?://|@|; s|/@|@|; s/(@[^@]*)(@[^@]*)/\2\1/'
}

function fediusernametolink {

You and me both my internet friend; I've built quite a few interesting sites using pure HTML which have run for years with very little maintenance, due to their almost static nature

@rl_dane

#Firefox #CPU #usage #Dillo #HTML #pure #nostalgia #browser #light #sh #bash

The mistake you maybe making is that you consider Firefox to be a browser.

Firefox has stopped being a browser decades ago

A browser doesn't need hundreds and hundreds of Engineers to be maintained, a massive project with multiple use angles and cases does

Firefox does so many (bad) things you can almost consider it a mini operating system

A alpha level Operating System, riddled with security bugs

It's always fantastic to be able to go somewhere in dillo and just have fun, amazing yourself with a speed that pages load

@rl_dane

Seriously, why didn't I put this in my ~/.bashrc like... YEARS ago? 😆

year=$( date +%Y)
month=$(date +%m)
day=$(  date +%d)

So I DO love me some python, but I just want to say that #Bash is awesome.

I had no idea this was a thing:
