- 0x54MUR41 8y agoIt seems interesting. How does your script to do that?
- aaossa 8y agoI like to rotate my desktop background regularly, so I wrote a small script to download the daily image from a known website and save it in a folder. Then my OS picks up a random image from that folder each minute and set it up as background image
- 15DCFA8F 8y agoI have a script called update-my-things.sh, which updates my Python’s pipsi scripts, my Python’s pew virtualenvs, my Rust toolchains, my VMs, my local software Git mirrors, etc. All stitched together in (bad) Bash.

- JunaidBhai 8y agoThis seems interesting. How often do you use this script? and is there any other part that you failed or found very boring? On a side-note; I loved sandspiel.
- 15DCFA8F 8y ago> How often do you use this script? I run once in a couple of days. Didn't automate the execution of this "meta-script" because I don't want it to run whenever I am using the resources its updating. > is there any other part that you failed or found very boring Yes, the VM updating part. Starting each VM, waiting for them to start, updating packages via apt-get, stopping, waiting for them to stop. This was boring and done on trial and error until it just works now. > I loved sandspiel I am not the author, just saw on lobste.rs and reposted here because I loved it too!
