Is there any text-based, ideally distributed monitoring software out there? I want a TUI that shows me (e.g. with green/red highlights) the reachability of hosts (simple ping checks) while I'm doing network maintenance. Like a really simple, curses based nagios? It would probably look like a bloomberg terminal.. (I know this wouldn't be too hard to implement.. but I can't really believe it's not already out there...) #linux#TUI#monitoring#network#networking#sysadmin#software#curses
My big project, my lifelong-project, is the roguelike Shadow of the Wyrm. But I also have a little puzzle game I wrote a couple years ago at Christmas. The game is quinze (French for "fifteen"), and it's a 15-puzzle.
Today I noticed some build issues around the premake file and in calls to mvprintw. I've pushed fixes to these, incremented the version. Lucky 0.13!
French Mathematician and Physicist Joseph Fourier died #OTD in 1768.
He is best known for his work in mathematical analysis and the study of heat transfer. One of his most significant contributions is the development of Fourier series, which are used to represent periodic functions as a sum of sine and cosine functions. This work laid the foundation for Fourier analysis.
@gutenberg_org There's a great article by CJ van der Veen that is probably not open access (#curses) which summarises how Fourier argued the case, given that so little was understood about the physics or radiation. It was a very cunning argument about heat and although it was ultimately wrong in detail it set the scene for Pouillet to do it rather better. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10889370009377693
Just released dos2ansi v0.4, with lots of #DOS#codepage s supported and a testmode to display them.
The next nice feature would be to use the actual terminal capabilities if output goes there. Very simple on *nix-like systems (#Linux, #FreeBSD, ...), just link #curses and use the termcap functions.
Thinking about #Windows again, either I keep relying on #UTF8 support (since #win7 IIRC? and still a bit buggy) and #ANSI sequences support (since #win10) .... OR I attempt to use the native #Console#API there (using special functions to write in #UTF16 and other special functions to set colors, which would require a major refactoring first 🙄)
This version brings specialized writers for direct terminal output, using #terminfo (via #curses) on non-windows and configuring the #ANSI writer for 256 colors on #Windows >= 10, otherwise using a writer for the legacy Windows Console API.
It should work fine on any Windows and any Unix-like system offering terminfo/curses, but I could only test on #FreeBSD and Windows Server 2022 myself, so it would be nice if someone could test on older Windows as well as other *nix systems like #Linux 😉
I respect Anarchists, Communists, Socialists, Libertarians and Jehovas Witnesses for their commitment to their dogma and can find a lot of good in what the four political theories above have to bring to bear even if I am never going to be one.
What does Atheism have in common w political philosophies?
Do you want to be right or do you want to make society better? Not everyone is a movement is the same but the majority per my perception (1/2)
The animated series follows a family whose husband and father was cursed and turned to stone. In order to save him, his wife and kids set out on adventures to return ancient artifacts stolen by an ancestor.
Is there a library that can create two separate ncurses text-areas, one for scrolling output and another for input? I really want a way to use Reline with a split screen ncurses TUI. The curses gem is a little too low-level. https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.0.0/Curses.html #ruby#curses#ncurses#reline
I’m wondering how many people writing programs on #zos under #uss (Unix System Services) using C and #curses library? If you are looking for smell of real Unix development, try to compile here using make (not GNU) pure #vi and sh near to true Born shell (no, it is not #ksh). Anyway curses based menu to present selection list feeding data from stdin is usable from now.
vim is my code editor of choice. writing tool of choice. config tweaker. UI mockup tool. and on and on...
my latest game under dev (Slartboz, in Golang) is written 100% using vim. and Slartboz itself is a curses-based program which runs in a Unixy terminal & shell. like vim
few perfectly good & truly wonderful things in our world. vim is among them
