This Saturday as part of the Everyday Algorithms exhibition: Reimagine your relationship with machines in this workshop to produce queer love letters using Bash scripting with @siusoon and Mara Karagianni.
Saturday 5 April
12pm — 3pm
The NewBridge Project, #Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 1AL
This workshop aims to challenge the gender norms in free software development. We will begin with a cultural introduction to Unix and #Bash, exploring how they interact with the operating system. Bash, a command line interface and scripting language created in 1989 for UNIX Systems, is useful for system administration and automation.
During the workshop, you will use the terminal, either in pairs, in groups, or individually, to write and create a #queer love letter in Bash. These letters will explore various forms of desire, intimacy, and struggle, allowing us to reimagine what our relationship with the machines we use might look like.
Free, booking is essential: https://thenewbridgeproject.com/events/introducing-bash/

It's possible you've not heard of #boxyBSD
I was lucky to get a TIL moment when @stefano boosted it's existence into my feed.
However you should know about it, learn something about the user perspective from proxmox in the process, while working with a boxyBSD VM.
Here are some nice screencaps of the boxyBSD site so you can ask nicely for a VM and learn to play with one of the *BSD flavours from a distance.
I'm sure you can duckduckgo the address of boxyBSD when you analyze the screencaps, right?

I am a fan of #golang. I don't say it enough. My love of #python, #bash, and #BASIC, I wear on my sleeve, but among the many other languages I code in, I almost always appreciate an opportunity to use Go. It just clicked for me in a way rust never did.
(Obligatory disclaimer upon realizing the date that this is not an April Fools post.)
It has arrived. proxyLB v1.1.0 the loadbalancer for proxmox clusters. Instead of telling you the features of this major version I invite you to read about it yourself, download proxyLB then play with it.
As with any great Open Source project, this has grown out of a necessity that @gyptazy has for his other amazing project boxyBSD, which just needs a versatile tool like this.
Now go and play.

#Bash's ctrl-o timesaver, 20241223,

... wonder if that is available in (plain) zsh via key bindings ...
Does anyone have a good recommendation for shell/bash script replacements in 2025?
Thinking maybe guile?
Mal wieder so ein unverzichtbarer #Talk auf den #CLT, bei dem man auch nach 20 Jahren #GNU/Linux noch inspirierendes Neues entdeckt.
I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.
I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.
I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.
@b0rk Some tricks are almost specific to #bash (I'm #fishshell user), but it's ok
the #bash REPL is Ctrl+x+e
set -u is your friend.
If you want to improve your Command-Line/bash skills, "Efficient Linux at the Command Line" by @DanielJBarrett is a life changing read.
Really.
A mindblowing experience.
While you are at it, also check out offpunk :
yes, it is related.
Gotten tired of those massive browsers hogging GB (*1024 = MB) of ram? Want to go back to the days of text based browsing?
Links has got you covered. For decades (lynx and later) links gives us back the nostalgic feel of *sh* based browsing, just like BitchX gives it with IRC in the shell.
Look how smooth and fast it works with DuckDuckGo
I have found an interesting quirk with my freeBSD installation, running on my SATA SSD, which I mount through an USB tray, directly to the USB port on the computer.
As long as i leave the second port of the USB tray open, everything runs fine and smooth. The moment I mount another drive in the second port, freeBSD only does the initial part of the startup sequence and then complains that it cannot go any further.
No further explanation given
Seeking for log files is not an option because the operating system itself doesn't boot.
Where in the documentation should I look for this type of issue?
