bic Static blog generator, in bash bic · bic.sh [1] Intereresting someone built a blog generator in bash. it comes with normal markdown to html [2], static content, robots.txt, sitemap, rss, and tags.

Ellie Huxtable (@ellie.wtf) Atuin v18.4 is out now! Including atuin wrapped, your year in shell history 🐢 thanks @daveeddy.com for the suggestion! Bluesky Social · bsky.app [1] Atuin v18.4 is out with an atuin wrapped command. Here’s Ellie’s Wrapped. [2] This is a pretty sick command, I’ve only been using Atuin about as long as I’ve been on bazzite, so maybe 4 months, but here is my wrapped. [3] Comparing to Ellie, I’m surprised that I even have 126 package related commands, being on an immutable distro most of my packages come from the container, I don’t need to run packaging commands. My cd is also super low, I use tmux sessions to take me where I need to be most of the time, which is a project’s root directory, It’s pretty rare to see me outside of a project root directory. I’d venture to guess that nvim would be higher if it didn’t auto start on every tmux session as well. Note This post is a thought [4].

They give Jerod the task of googling for tmux and see how high up the ranking they find Nick, expecting a number one post, and he cant even get to Nick. The problem? Jerod is such a beginner he doesn’t even know what to search, he starts with a long query about getting started with tmux, but all of Nick’s videos are why you should use advanced features of tmux, but Jerod has yet to discover that these exist. As experts we often come up wtih a post title for the exact thing that we are trying to teach someone how to do, but yet, they haven’t discussed that they need that feature yet, they just want the getting started guide, or tell me why I should start using tmux. Not why sessions are better than windows, and tabs suck all together. Definitely an eye opening conversation listening to two experts sit in...

Distrobox Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. distrobox.it [1] distrobox gives you distrobox-host-exec to run commands on the host. This is handy to get access to host level clis that you probably wouldn’t want to run from the container like podman, docker, flatpak. DESCRIPTION distrobox-host-exec lets one execute command on the host, while inside of a container. Under the hood, distrobox-host-exec uses host-spawn a project that lets us execute commands back on the host. If the tool is not found the user will be prompted to install it.

Authentication from cli tools can be a bit of a bear, and I have to look it up every time. This is my reference guide for future me to remember how to easily do it. I set up a fastapi [1] server running on port 8000, it uses a basic auth with waylonwalker as the username and asdf as the password. The server follows along with what comes out of the docs.
