ProcessOne: Fluux multiple Subscriptions/Services
Fluux is our ejabberd Business Edition cloud service. With a subscription, we deploy, manage, update and scale an instance of our most scalable messaging server. Up to now, if you wanted to deploy several services, you had to create another account with a different email. Starting today, you can manage and pay for different servers from a single Fluux account.

Alright, I have a little 8086 assembler for my toy OS going now – or rather a proof-of-concept thereof. It only supports a tiny fraction of the instruction set. It was an interesting learning experience, but I don’t think trying to “complete” this program is worth my time.
The whole thing is just a learning project, I don’t want to actually make a usable OS. There are a few more things I want to have a look at and then I’ll eventually move on to 386/amd64 later this year (hopefully).

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz To improve you shell programming skills, I highly recommend to check out shellcheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck It points out common errors and gives some suggestions on how to improve the code. Some details in shell scripting are very tricky to get right at first. Even after decades of shell programming, I run into “corner cases” every now and then.
E.g. in getlyr’s line 7 it warns:
echo -e $(gum style --italic --foreground "#f4b8e4" "'$artist', '$song'")
^-- SC2046: Quote this to prevent word splitting.
For more information:
https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2046 -- Quote this to prevent word splitt...
Most likely not all that problematic in this application, but it’s good to know about this underlying concept. Word splitting is basically splitting tokens on whitespace, this can lead to interesting consequences as illustrated by this little code:
$ echo $(echo "Hello World")
Hello World
$ echo "$(echo "Hello World")"
Hello World
In the first case the shells sees two whitespace-separated tokens or arguments for the echo command. This basically becomes echo Hello World. So, echo joins them by a single space. In the second one it sees one argument for the echo command, so echo simply echos this single argument that contains three spaces.
