Let's introduce the BSSG dev blog!

Stay tuned, as a new release is just around the corner!

This is how my terminals look like when I compile a kernel. I love the wonderful colours that I generate

Does anyone know how to batch insert _h264 between the file extension and existing name of a folder full of files?

After having read what horrors people experienced when they upgrade their Hugo binaries, I made sure that I've kept the version that I used to make my test site & also consequently use *that* version to continue to teach myself a higher level of fluency in the markdown language

`hugo version`

$ alias 'rm = rm -i'

This is a standard alias in all my POSIX installations
I use it to curb accidental removal incidents of important and large directory trees

Ich liebe ihre Zines. Manche gibts mittlerweile auch kostenlos oder im humble bundle. Aber auch gekauft sind sie jeden cent wert

Today I found that bash uses dynamic scoping, not lexical scoping. So if you have a

function inner() {
echo "$x"
}

it will go up the call stack to find the first x defined as

local x

in any caller and print it. Pity (add more swearwords here) . There is a reason why emacs lisp is being converted to lexical scoping despite having decades of dynamic binding history.

Finally found out how to disable that press-enter-to-complete-paste thing.

On the bash shell (and login again):
[edwin@sg-shared-oel9 ~]$ cat .inputrc
set enable-bracketed-paste off

Or in the PuTTY configuration, see image:

I added some more cool things to my grimoire! https://reillyspitzfaden.com/code/#grimoire

I have interactions on Mastodon/Bluesky coming in as webmentions, and that's nice, but other sources get lost in the shuffle, so I have a script here (https://github.com/reillypascal/personalsite-ssg/blob/main/webmentions.py) that filters out all the ones where "wm-source" contains "https://brid.gy/," which is super helpful.

Is Free Script Friday a thing? Well, here's a random bash script that I bind to a keyboard shortcut to toggle mute my default microphone.

Today I'm discussing my thoughts on “home-cooked” and “situated” software, and how that's inspired me to start a collection of useful script tools for myself.

Should've made this a long time ago:

function ciglob {
    #case-insensitive glob generator
    echo "$*" |while read -N1 c; do
        case "$c" in
            [a-zA-Z])   echo -n "[${c^^}${c,,}]";;
            *)          echo -n "$c"
        esac
    done
}

~ $ ciglob "Hello, world!"
[Hh][Ee][Ll][Ll][Oo], [Ww][Oo][Rr][Ll][Dd]!
~ $ ls -ld $(ciglob documents)
drwxr-xr-x 52 ~~~ ~~~ 20,480 Apr 10 11:45 Documents

(Not the most useful example, but I did have a use case in mind when I wrote it ;)

P.S. (This is a valid way to close a parenthesis. Fight me ;)
