Buying a TV these days, means trying to avoid endless enshitification:
-Spyware and adware
-Shitty AI upscaling/ frame interpolation
-HW that breaks after 2 - 3 years
-One off OS, dead on arrival
-Android OS, that starts lagging after the third update
-8 buttons worth of ads, on your remote
You probably have to make some kind of a compromise. I thought that was buying from some other brand like Hyundai, but that one also felt into some of those categories and just broke, after less than 3 years of use. At this point Iāll probably go back to LG and hope their HW is still reliable and the rest manageable⦠It has AI bullshit and knowing LG, probably some spyware you have to try your best to get rid of, can buy a remote with āonlyā 2 ads on it, some web-based OS shared between all their TVs, that usually gets 4 - 5 years worth of updates and works decently enough afterwards.
At this point, Iāll probably settle for anything that doesnāt literally fall apart, not even 3 years in, like the Hyundai did.

[$] Faster firewalls with bpfilter
From

communicating on a network will eventually have to filter network
traffic, whether itās for security or performance reasons. As a result,

a tiny performance improvement can have considerable gains.
Bpfilter is a

Fx v36 - JSON terminal viewer
Hello Lobsters, Iām the author of a fx tool. Iāve been working hard past month to develop a new version of a fx with a lot of improvements and fixes. Please check them out.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You donāt need to change the directory first in line 11, you can just create the directory, thatās sufficient since youāre having an absolute path.
The echo in line 13 is useless, you can simplify this to: newdir="$WD/$now" If you reversed this line with the previous one, you could make use of the variable in the directory creation: mkdir "$newdir".
In line 16, pull the directory change out of the loop upfront. The loop body doesnāt modify the working directory, so no need to reset it with each cycle. In fact, you could even spare the cd altogether when you simply tell find where to look: find "$basedir" -type fā¦.
I didnāt try it, but if I read the manpage correctly, you should be able to simplify line 19 as well:
-C Change to DIR before performing any operations. This option is order-sensitive, i.e. it affects all options that follow.
Hence, remove the cd and put the -C "$WD" as the first argument to tar. Again, I didnāt try it. Proceed with caution.
Finally, you donāt need to specify the full path to rm in line 21. I bet, /bin is in your PATH. When you removed the previous cd from my last suggestion, the relative path that follows wonāt work anymore. So, just use the absolute path that you already have in a variable: rm -rf "$newdir"
I hope you find this tiny review a wee bit useful. :-)
tar and find were written by the devil to make sysadmins even more miserable
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @prologic@twtxt.net Given that all these programs are super old (tar is from the late 1970ies), while trying to retain backwards-compatibilty, Iām not surprised that the UI isnāt too great. š¤
find has quite a few pitfalls, that is very true. At work, we donāt even use it anymore in more complex scenarios but write Python scripts instead. find can be fast and efficient, but fewer and fewer people lack the knowledge to use it ⦠The same goes for Shell scripting in general, actually.

Thanks to @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz and her shelf I finally spent several hours in the woodshop. I wanted to build two drawers for the workbench and thought that I will complete this project in no time. Iāve been so wrong again. ;-)
I didnāt draw any plans, just measured a few times and then went to cutting a bunch of particle board leftovers at the table saw. I routed rebates on the sides, fronts and backs to lap the boxes and sink in the bottom. It turned out that having no plans was a stupid idea. I cut exactly on the lines as I calculated and measured, however, the math in my head fell apart when it eventually met reality. The bottoms are too short, so I gotta glue on some strips. Also, with the longer fronts, the sides wonāt work either, I have to fix them as well. :-D
Finally, the lid of my cyclone bucket broke when the negative pressure got too large. Oh well. It was just an old wood glue bucket, Iāve got another empty one, so I can use that lid but strengthen it first with some plywood. Something for future Lyse to deal with.
All in all, it was still good fun. Wood (haha) do it again, but at least with some sketches on paper. ;-)

Nobody want to be a shitty programmer. The question is: Do you do anything not to not be one?
Reading blogs or social media and watching YouTube videos is fun. After them, your code may be a little better, of course. But you need a lot. You need to study! Read good books and study the code of other programmers, for example. Maybe work with a new language, architectures and paradigms. You need break the routine.
If you know Object-oriented programming, you learn functional programming.
If you know Model-View-Controller, you learn Model-View-ViewModel.
If you donāt know anything about architectures, you learn Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, etc.
If you know Python, you learn Ruby or Go.
If you know Clojure or Lisp⦠you donāt need to learn anything else. You are already a good programmer. Just kidding. You can learn Elixir or Scala.
Be a good programmer my friend.

It isnāt that Iāve not considered all the other options on the table (which can still be), itās just that Iāve made a decision as the project lead that largely helped trigger a rebirth of the use of Twtxt back in July 1 2020.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agreed, finding the right motivation can be tricky. You sometimes have to torture yourself in order to later then realize, yeah, that was actually totally worth it. Itās often hard.
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I donāt know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator Iāve experienced. Or you could assign āem the task to build their own twtxt client if they donāt have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. Thatās how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which Iām very thankful of.
Weāre all old farts. When we started, there werenāt a lot of options. But today? Iād be completely overwhelmed, I think.
Hence, Iād recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice
Thatās what I usually do (when we have young people at work who never really programmed before), but it doesnāt really āhitā them. Theyāve seen so much, crazy graphics, web pages, itās all fancy. Just some text output is utterly boring these days. ā¹ļø And thatās my problem: I have no idea how I could possibly spark some interest in things like pointers or something ālow-levelā like that.
