You're joking right? This is being posted on a personal account by one half of Sourcehut against a company that has had over $400 million in funding. Respect has to be earned and Gitlab have lost a lot of respect over this.

Yeah of course. I didn't mean to take anything away from the awesome work you are doing, this was nitpicking really, the script as it is, will work as intended, was really just highlighting this for the sake of others who may not be aw

So I guess I'm just used to POSIX compatible shells, it would be good to know about Bourne shells that aren't POSIX compatible (genuine question). But the shebang at the top of the script is bash so what I said is still correct in

In one of the bash scripts in this article there's a lot of " || exit 1", you can enable this automatically by using "set -e" at the beginning of the script, this works for POSIX shell too. You can get extra safety

Thank you, very helpful. That explains why I have to have my .bash_profile source .bashrc for use with tmux, as it executes bash as a login shell. I knew I had to have this but wasn't 100% on why until now. Note to self, RTFM!

I tested this and this is not the case. My .bashrc does a lot of things such as custom completions that are expensive that I would not want run by anything else other than an interactive shell. It also has return at the end so if anything I

Before we begin, first note that bashrc refers to something that runs in each and every new shell, and profile refers to something that runs only in interactive shells (used by a user at a keyboard, not just a shell script, for example). T

Great comment. One word: religion.

To me the whole idea of data ownership and everything this article is talking about is antithetical to some company somewhere or cloud storage. I personally collect mp3s. I could easily pay for a Spotify subscription or even have it include

I always thought that SBCL was considered high performance and for example Chicken Scheme compiles to C. Both might be slower than Rust but I always had the impression both of these were more performant than say Java, but I haven't use

As an alternative, as mentioned already in response to another comment is oksh ( https://github.com/ibara/oksh ), a portable version of OpenBSD's pdksh. It's in the same Bourne shell lineage as bash but is ligh

Some of this could be down to the completions that are provided. A package such as bash-completions comes with completions for a lot of common software. One specific solution to your problem, well a suggestion is to use oksh ( https:/&

I disagree. Terminal is modern it's just different to GUIs, of course they were a precursor but I don't think anyone can say that GUIs are supposed to be a replacement, as in, I don't think they can say this in retrospect.

I weep for Solaris Zones and FreeBSD Jails. Granted I don't really have much experience of them, I do have some experience of containers on Linux via Docker but also in constructing a minimal container runtime in C (not OCI compatible

You can do this with seccomp, but of course not by default like pledge and OpenBSD.

They are using FreeBSD for their CDN appliances that they have dotted around the world, everything else runs on Ubuntu out of AWS.

Yeah you might be right, it's tempting, simpler does sound better. I occasionally reach for nano when I'm on a system that doesn't have Vim out of the box (and I don't want to use vi, which is always there, but is just t

Yeah it's good advice, it's how I treat Vim really, I have a handful of keybindings to make it easier, but generally just stick to the defaults with everything and stay away from plugins.

Thanks for the responders to my parent comment. I might look into spacemacs or DOOM emacs, I've heard about both and seen some videos and obviously either sound like a good way to switch over. I'm not actually having any issues wi

Could it be that the Perl language (and especially Perl 5) but as a community in general, is established and mature, and very stable, that the only things that are mentioned are just not the things that newer, fast moving languages such as

by roryrjb 7y ago
Perl 6 is probably a great language, I'm not very interested in it, for the reasons someone might pick it, I'd probably pick a different language; of course not for any logical reasons, but still. Perl 5 on the other hand is still

I recently tried to seriously use Emacs over my usual Vim. Mainly because I've got so used to the GNU readline emacs shortcuts in the terminal and quite like the idea of not having to switch between command and insert mode, but damn af

Does it support the mouse? I didn't see any mention of it and I haven't tried it yet. If not then I think this would be unusable for me. I live inside the terminal and use Vim, tmux but once a TUI gets quite complicated (another e
