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.

I haven't heard of that but I'll look into it! Honestly I'm more likely to
write my own script, it shouldn't be too hard just altering the /etc/hosts
file and then changing it back in ~15 minutes with a cron-job, as Nikky says
down below. I like things that I make myself because then if it breaks I know
who to blame! And who to go to to fix it. >: )

source code should be like a story

and as it's being written, it may be altered in many different places at once
- git style.
parts of it could rhyme,

If you're writing a bash script, you should never hard-code file locations.
Instead, put them in a variable at the top of your script, so they're easy to
find when people need to configure your script or move files around.
It's like a config file built INTO the script itself. Just change the
variables, they're at the top with comments.

Bash to start the program and enable updates / configuration, Lua to handle

what if instead of javascript cookies we only let websites access one single
location in memory which was allocated client-side and is unique to each
website?
that way they couldn't track you between sites, since they wouldn't be able to
see any other website's "biscuits" get it because they're healthier than
cookies
All they would be able to store would be data, though I guess they could store
bytecode instructions or something if they really wanted to.

if you'd like I can give you a lua script which will take your fediverse
archive and turn it into a pdf which you can edit or print or whatever. Might
be a fun diversion from posting. You can reply to yourself, add
clarifications, change some things, put things in a new light, add context,
etc... before you know it you'll have something printable. Could even pull out
your best stuff and make zines.
should require just a little configuration to suit your setup. That's part of

I made an alias that overwrites cd so I don't have to do this. The important
line is line 27, you could probably accomplish something similar like this:
alias cd="cd ${1} && ls -v --color=auto"
I also set it up so I can change more than one directory up using ... or ....
or .....
also I have a few shortcut scripts, cdir and qcd. cdir creates a quick way to
drop a bookmark wherever I'd like, while qcd can make permanent bookmarks.
Also qcd makes it so whenever I open a new terminal it opens to the last
directory I was in, which is nice if you need a new terminal to do something
in the current folder and you don't want to have to walk alllllllll the way
back.

I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
have any bugs in this day and age.
For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

storable in 8 bytes and it took up like, half a gigabyte, and then we indexed
into it whenever we wanted to print an arbitrary visual element to our

for LAN parties and snuggle parties in rooms full of stuffed buddies plushies

by writing on a ball with a sharpie and then when someone else is feeling sad

I love writing installation scripts like this!
If you want to install something on Linux but you have difficulty, talk to me
and I'll write you a script like this. I might even make it fancier.
This one installs a programming language that is useful for parallel computing
across multiple clusters of computers which could be useful if you want to
leverage multiple CPUs and GPUs with ease to compute tasks which are far
beyond a normal computer.

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with all the boilerplate I just start coding
and making stuff. Doesn't matter if it works, doesn't matter if it says /*
FIXME */ all over the place, doesn't matter if it includes header files that
don't exist yet, as long as you're hacking out the mechanics of whatever
operations you need to perform then you can figure the rest of that stuff out
later. The creative urge doesn't last forever, which is why projects get
abandoned, but with discipline you can keep bringing yourself back to fix all
the /* FIXME */'s and the compiler errors.

something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist

it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about

A code editor program that's like a text editor like Vim or Emacs. If you

Oh right so if you do know what those mean, here's the idea: the white space
matters. It's counted and tracked into variables in a LUA script which
interface with the Vim C keybindings.
"run a function within a c program or LUA script which calls a bash command
which opens Vim for example with a file you want to edit. Then, inside the
file, your spaces and tabs would WYSIWYG for the various food ads placed
about, and then you could very easily create game design knowledge.
WASD to move, alternatively hjkl
It would run a check every time the file updates and depending on how it
changed it'd mark certain variables which would change the website as the user
moved things around.
It's just files. And files are just bits. But files are a useful abstraction,
If you realize that "ugly hacking" should be industry standard.

in other news, I spent ~9 hours yesterday working on a dumb project that I'll
probably tell you about once it's finished, and then a BASH script that my
friend and I wrote just deleted every single file because I failed to
terminate a sed command. Or something, still not entirely sure what happened,
because it deleted the script that was doing the deleting.
good thing I have backups from ~3 hours ago. Feels great to lose 33% of a
project for nothing.

functions should be forced to describe the context of why they were being
called. I think it would help debug a lot if we supplied a reasoning for each
and every request [function call] that we made. We might even be able to parse
them into semantic pyramids which we could sorta use to estimate [tree-like
scanning] how and why the program did do wrong.

why would I want other people using my computer? They don't know how to use my
computer! They might break something or mess something up or automatically
read/edit my files that are stored in standard locations through the usage of
a script which automagically scans and ransomwares machines on the internet
who store their files in specific standardized locations! no thank you.

trusting the "open source community" to properly vett software is absurd
because 90% of them just... install whatever and throw libraries and
frameworks at problems until they can script their way out of whatever problem
they face.
the other 10% are focused on very specific tools that are so niche that other
people can't even understand when to *use* them much less how they work.
