#TIL that #GNU #ed doesn’t support word boundary regex (\< and \>) on #Mac and on Mac only. I don’t know why, but I guess I must edit some of my scripts, including aed (https://codeberg.org/aartaka/aed) syntax highlighting. They weren’t #POSIX compliant anyway

In case you have not done so yet, surf the Wave of the fossify organization, check which of these applications are good for you, since they have no ads, they are free and open source and they are Good at One thing, just like a proper Unix program

What if I implemented rainbow parentheses coloring in pure #POSIX #regex?

Eureka moment yesterday night, after starting reading D-Bus documentation for the bazillionth time and rolling my eyes again at how overengineered it is: actually, all I need is POSIX signals and a SQLite database. SQLite with its WAL mode and high concurrency support nowadays can handle IPC easy-peasy. #C #SQLite #POSIX

This is another interesting looking hat for the Raspberry Pi

One program that was written very well, with both the beginning and the master user in mind is this one

Raspberry Pie imager. If you barely know how to move in a graphic user interface you will still be able to make the image.

If you're a seasoned POSIX operator like me, the imager will still do exactly what you want and give you the proper results

#Poll: Curious about people's attitudes towards shell scripting.

Two part question:

1. Are you a DEVeloper (or working in a development-heavy role), OTHER-IT worker (such as a sysadmin, architect, anything in a non-development-heavy role), or NON-IT (accountant, doctor, whatever)
2. Do you HATE shell scripting, are you INDIFferent towards (or ignorant of) shell scripting, or do you LOVE it?

One thing I didn't know about the beautiful FediMeteo service is, that it is running on a fantastically low budget ENV that looks like it runs from a Server Park that has more than 60.000 of those servers purring along.

This is all that I shall default from the podcast you're smart and you're curious just like me so you will find the podcast yourself I will not put any links and then you will download it listen to it learn and enjoy

Jeff Geerling got the brunt of YouTube wrath when he showed people how to host their own media {media that they legally own, which means that they either have the originals, or have paid for whatever digital version they have} with the power of Open Source tools
Jeff explicitly made sure that he never ever told people how to circumvent subscriptions or worse. Nothing that could harm YouTube bottomline was ever discussed in this video.

Yet for reasons obvious to Open Source people like me YouTube gave him his second strike.

3rd Strike and you're gone. This is how Google / this is how Alphabet is treating their Golden Geeze.

Creators like Jeff are very valuable both to the people who follow them and to YouTube. However Google seems to be at Super odds with Open Source, needing it to run their data centers but hating it because they have to share the code again that they've worked upon.

Google is a paradoxical Company which is being controlled by Alphabet, a schizophrenic Entity drunk on power Ads and control

To me you're a star @geerlingguy keep Shining

This is Major FFMPEG has merged WHIP Muxer for sub second latency streaming!!!

Вот posix определяет какую-то самодельную hash-таблицу (man 3p hsearch).
И почему-то нет функции, чтобы просто пройтись по всем элементам.
Если что-то и сделано, то сделано чисто на отъебись. Пользоваться этим нельзя. #сишечка #posix

In the Everlasting search for clients and servers Federated, detached from corporate underlords, connected to the masses I learned about the following client server duo

Client: Delta Chat
Servers: Chat Mail servers

One thing that jumps immediately into attention, is the fact that when you download the client, select a server, you get a QR code

When you've configured your client, you will immediately notice that you do not need to enter a password for your client. The system is passwordless by default.

You do not need to enter a multi-factor authentication code it doesn't need it.

What you need to do is be careful with, is who you share your link with. Go and play with it, see if it something for you
