 yeah uhhhh the one you helped me setup. The error is just "connection refused"
 because it "could not write header for output file" because of incorrect input
 parameters, but I don't think I changed anything since we used it a couple
 weeks ago. Have you seen any errors like that?

 just realized when I got disconnected it gave me a different username, so if
 you've been messaging me I haven't been getting it. Ooops. relogging now to
 try and fix it.

 there's only a password so that if the zip archive is displaced from it's

 This was the first bash script I ever wrote.
 
 It's been updated a little, it was a bash alias first, but this is what it
 looks like now.
 
 Kinda shows what kinds of problems I needed to solve most.
A bash script that plays a random episode of Adventure Time from a terminal.

 just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you
 have to do it that way again.
 
 but you should have a reason why you aren't doing it that way.

 you know how SSH password login is deprecated because the password needs to be
 transmitted in cleartext or whatever?
 
 what if we just... required two passwords?
 
 the first initiates the conversation, and sets up an encrypted line. It
 doesn't matter if anyone sees the first password because they'll get a new set
 of encrypted keys, meaning each session automatically is encrypted in a
 different, randomized way.
 
 the second password is the one that actually authenticates you.

 this is one of the first scripts I wrote
 
 I can't believe I put the --no-ls AFTER the argument, ha, what a noob.
 
 ah well if it works it works and I can't refactor now because I built it into
 random scripts and I'd be fixing errors all the time.
script 1:  #!/bin/bash  # sort by filetype would be nice  alias cd="cd-improved"  function cd-improved(){      if [ "${1}" = "..." ] ; then         builtin cd .. && builtin cd ..     elif [ "${1}" = "...." ] ; then         builtin cd .. && builtin cd .. && builtin cd ..     elif [ "${1}" = "....." ] ; then         builtin cd .. && builtin cd .. && builtin cd .. && builtin cd ..          elif [ -d "./${1}" ] ; then         local target_dir="./${1}"      elif [ "${1}" = "cdir" ] ; then         local target_dir="$(tail -n 1 '/home/ritz/scripts/.cdir-target')"         echo ${target_dir}       else         local target_dir="${1}"     fi      if [ !

 Linux is great! It can do anything you want it to.
 
 Except that thing you want it to do. Why don't you go fix it? It's not hard,
 all you have to do is run these configure files or operate this doohickey and
 BAM suddenly you got apes writing machine gun regulation software
 
 [I don't think those two things are related]

 ah nuts, they replaced my LLM setup with one that outputs gibberish. I swear
 it was working just a moment ago, and I didn't change it's configuration at
 all, and it's local only... right? so uh that's weird, surely it's not because
 they altered some value somewhere that I have no access to
 
 eh, maybe the newest technologies are overrated. At least, the software ones.
