This is hilarious. A #Google engineer invented #zx to make command line scripting easier with #NodeJS, because at a certain point #shell scripts get too complicated and you need a Real #Programming Language.
This is exactly #Perl’s use case from thirty-six years ago. But the kids want #JavaScript everywhere and would rather it take more work to convert their ascended #Bash scripts to a vastly different syntax.
#Fukushima nuclear plant will start to ditch 1 million tons of tritium-polluted water out into the sea.
> The decision comes weeks after the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), approved the discharge, saying that the radiological impact on people and the environment would be “negligible”.
Yea, right #IAEA. This is just as trustworthy as #Shell concluding that the burning of #FossilFuels has negligible effects on the earth's atmosphere.
My membership of British Cycling has come around for renewal and I have no hesitation in telling them to get lost. The fact that they took on a major sponsorship deal with Shell (SHELL!) in October and have refused to reverse that decision is appalling. This is classic greenwashing - Shell are continuing to extract all the oil they can. Cycling should not offer shelter to the fossil fuel companies putting profit ahead of the planet.
It was surprisingly easy to port all my custom fish and git config to home manager. The next big thing I need to figure out is how to manage multiple java versions and assign their directory to environment vars. Currently using @asdf_vm but it doesn‘t seem to work on @nixos_org. #linux#nixos#homemanager#java#fishshell#git#asdfvm#shell#dotfiles
Nach der ersten Fahrt mit einem Elektro-Mietwagen habe ich inzwischen gelernt, dass die Mineralölkonzerne auch bei E-Mobilität abzocken. #Europcar hatte suggeriert man müsse #Shell Recharge verwenden. Ich habe mir wie empfohlen einen Account angelegt und eine Karte für nicht-Shell-Stationen bekommen.
Geladen haben wir damit letztlich bei #Aldi. Berechnet wurden 66 Cent pro Kilowattstunde. Heute habe ich aus Neugier bei Aldi geschaut und gesehen, dass wir dadurch fast das Doppelte bezahlt haben!
"Crap, I was in the wrong directory when I untarred that package, and now it's full of stuff." Well, you can clean up just as quickly by using the list of files from the tarball:
tar tzf /path/to/ball.tar.gz | xargs -d'\n' rm -rfv
In today's #Linux#shell adventures, did you know that [ is an executable ELF binary provided by coreutils? There's a /usr/bin/[ program in the $PATH on most Linux systems.
Ich habe zum Testen #Ubuntu installiert.
Auf dem #Desktop wollte ich #Verknüpfungen anlegen; wozu soll er denn sonst gut sein 😉
Das geht aber so einfach nicht. Im Internet gesucht und über Anleitungen gestoßen, die behaupten, dass das doch ganz einfach ist: “Schritt 1, 2, 3 … 10, und schon geht es” 🙄
Es geht allerdings auch, indem man über die #Shell den Default #Dateimanager von Nautilus auf Nemo ändert – muss man aber wissen!
Und da wundern sich viele, warum #Linux nicht mehr genutzt wird 🤔
I learned by accident today that you can change your working directory in Fish shell using Alt and the left/right arrow keys. It basically keeps track of the history of your directory navigation, and flips through your history.
A thought just struck me, fuck command line options, why not just use environment variables? What makes git commit --message "fixed shit" better than message="fixed shit" git commit?
edit: apparently environment variables don't work the way I thought they did. I thought you could prefix a command (without a newline or semicolon between) with vars and they would be set only for the command
"Oil and gas supermajors including Shell and BP are using UK influencers to push false solutions to the climate crisis and manufacture a more family friendly image, DeSmog can reveal."
After $40 million in grants in 2020 they are closing their fuel stations and exiting the light duty vehicle h2 market.. Like thy have already done in the UK
Oil giant Shell warns cutting production 'dangerous' (www.bbc.co.uk)
I don't know about you but I'm sure glad the chief exec of Shell cares about our futures.......
