set -e: Exit on error. Very useful, but notoriously weird with edge cases (especially inside conditionals like if statements, while loops, and pipelines). Don’t rely on it blindly as it can create false confidence. (Pro-tip: consider set -euo pipefail for a more robust safety net, but learn its caveats first.)

while I appreciate that the author mentions how weird this is, nobody is going to learn all the caveats correctly. Don’t use set -e. Don’t use set -e. Don’t use set -e. It’s a shit ass broken ass fucked feature that half of nobody understands well. Here’s a great wiki page explaining why it’s trash: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/105

People like Go, and Go requires you to manually and stupidly handle every possible error case. Why not do the same for shell? It’s really quite easy:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echoerr() { echo "$@" 1>&2; }

die() {
  message="$1"; shift
  exit_code="${1:-1}"
  echoerr "$message"
  exit "$exit_code"
}

temp_dir="$HOME/tmp"
mkdir -p "$temp_dir" || die "Failed to make persistent temporary dir $temp_dir"
lc_dir="$(mktemp -d -p "$temp_dir")" || die "Failed to make target dir in $temp_dir"

Look at that, descriptive error messages! And it doesn’t depend on a shell feature that is inconsistent between versions with no good documentation about all of the fucked up caveats.

So uh, OPNSense?

Sounds like a perfect use-case for some subsonic .300 Blackout rounds.

These other responses are annoying. This looks really cool, and I hope that it works well for you and your friends! We definitely need good discord alternatives ASAP, and more options are better imo.

One cool feature would be some sort of official support for interop/bridging to other services. That might help to boost adoption and would make the “why not just contribute to Y” people be quiet.

You like that? I’m a fan of it.

I mean, just use any stable distro and you can live that life. Arch is good for its own reasons precisely because it’s this way.

According to Wikipedia, it’s known in modern times as mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis.

The disease mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis, also known historically as scrofula and the king’s evil, involves a lymphadenitis of the cervical (neck) lymph nodes associated with tuberculosis as well as nontuberculous (atypical) mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium marinum.

As for what lymphadenitis is?

Lymphadenopathy or adenopathy is a disease of the lymph nodes, in which they are abnormal in size or consistency. Lymphadenopathy of an inflammatory type (the most common type) is lymphadenitis.

The Wikipedia article for king’s disease has a picture if you’re curious, although it’s a bit gross.

Yeah, it’s the only solution that doesn’t directly contribute to the construction of the Torment Nexus. Just have a simple fucking OS-level flag for a user. The browser can then send a header or something saying “I’m an adult” if the flag is set to adult.

Oh, I use vim, I don’t run an OS that can run Notepad++ natively. I meant using HEREDOCs as the responding anon suggested. I’ve absolutely done that on systems that lack a text editor.

It’s like this meme was made for me. GET OUT OF MY HEAD, ANON.

pissing in the pool produces awful nitrogen trichloride pls don’t

If you want extreme flexibility, use Arch Linux, since it makes it trivial to swap out which window manager you’re using. It sounds like you’re familiar with Linux at this point, so you probably have the requisite knowledge to give Arch a spin.

Niri is supposed to be a pretty interesting WM if you’re looking for something new. I’d be interested to hear why i3 was too much, since I found it to be pretty smooth to pick up.

Lethal Company is a fantastic game imo.

As someone posted elsewhere, this is an ultralight aircraft and is therefore forbidden from flying over populated areas.

Using ohmyzsh and not antidote? Blocked /s

Static linking makes things difficult. I’m not sure what the details are, that’s just what I’ve heard from Rust developers.

yeah, like, supposedly it can be hard to use GPL with some rust dependencies, but the MPL is right there as a decent compromise.

Yet another new account that shows up, posts 2 comics, and then auto-deletes.

I totally feel you. Hopefully this works for you. Barring that, I hope you and your partners are able to reach an accomodation on this. You sound really frustrated and defeated here, so hopefully they can help you, or work with you on a different solution.
