@hi OMG, you got me! This is my first time seeing this.
It looked like gibberish at first, then I thought it looked faintly like bash. So I tried running it and my memory/CPU maxed out, so I had to hardware shutoff my laptop...
Looking at it now, it makes sense. Create a function that recursively forks a pipe to itself... The "colon" character threw me off.

@budududuroiu @carstenraddatz @hi i think they are the same.. One is downloaded directly from the github repo, one via the package manager f-droid. F-droid links to the GitHub repo of researchxxl.

@carstenraddatz @budududuroiu @hi Fdroid is the researchxxl version. There is another one in the Google Play Store from nel0x. The background was some shady overtaking of the github repo by researchxxl. I think it is generally trusted at the moment. You can read the whole story here

@hi termux annoyingly used GNU bash by default, when there’s a perfectly serviceable mksh already in the base AOSP

@knapjack @hi just out of curiosity, why do you use the nōn-standard shell GNU bash, which is copyleft and slow, instead of the Korn shell, whose main variant is literally POSIX shell’s father and extremely fast and whose other variant is copycentre licenced, very small and still 3x as fast as GNU bash (and in the subvariant I maintain, much closer to POSIX, too, while having tons of useful extensions, some of which have even been adopted by bash/zsh viceque versa)?
...
Some rc in there, too. And technically I started scripting in DCL, but that only got me in trouble. 😁
But, for instance, PowerShell has several *sh-isms that work similarly but not identically, so I catch myself stubbing my toe when I'm in PowerShell and not using the native commands. When I'm scripting I either care which shell I'm in or I try to be as portable as possible. Conversely, day-to-day one-liners, I find that it's rare that I'm stubbing my toe on the syntax or features of some other shell. But if I were, changing my default shell would be the first thing I'd do.
I am not promoting bash here, just genuinely curious if you're like, "OMG, my fingers cannot unlearn ________ and I use that feature continuously," or more, "F the GPL." Hoping it's the former and I get to learn something new.
...
@knapjack @hi in my case… I develop mksh because I like to program in shell ;-) and OpenBSD ksh was a much nicer base than GNU bash, especially wrt. what I could add portability-wise and that it also works well statically linked and fits the bootfloppies better. That my users tell me it’s 3× as fast in their workloads on average is a nice bonus.
But, basically, I pose it as an ash/dash and posh/loksh replacement. There are use cases for GNU bash, and I know people who use mksh as scripting shell instead of their interactive shell (though, in their case, the latter is usually zsh or, recently, fish).
And mksh is /system/bin/sh on Android, after all, so it’s the standard :þ
(Funnily enough, I went COMMAND.COM → GNU bash → OpenBSD ksh which then evolved into mksh.)
...
Somedays I really care and some days I'm like, whatever, just give me a browser and a shell and some kind of flat surface, maybe some carbs.

@knapjack by “move” you mean you just changed it in the config? Not an AP Move?
Then, yes, no wonder it does not work.
That’s going to be a hard thing to recover from. (Thankfully, you did not re-use an existing domain with a fresh instance, as someone else did, because we now cannot even see each other’s posts at all.) Perhaps unfollowing and re-following everyone individually will work? (Mention this in your profile bio before you do that, so people will know, and will also know they possibly have to re-follow you.)
...
I thought about moving to a big instance, maybe Vivaldi's, while I sort it all out and move back.
- ksh for bsd and
- zsh for macos (used to use bash before macos switched)
i wanted to try ksh in termux to run tests for my #openbsd scripts, but looks like it's not too much faster than running everything on remote openbsd host...

I think I might be the only person with wired earbuds, I hadn't noticed until today. For the past 15 years, I've used this little audio recorder as music player, I see a lot of people scrolling feeds between their sets instead of taking a moment to actually breath.

@neil does "Will you accept a collect call from «MomItsTimComePickMeUp»? No? «click»" count as reversing charges on a call? 😆

And now how about a project management angle?

Well now. I have OpenBSD installed, for a weekend project, but I can't work on said project yet, because I found a bug in OpenBSD. See screenshot.
So I'm fixing that bug first, by adding a new project in ports. Now I have two weekend projects.
Yes, I refuse to use any other browser on OpenBSD (except Tor Browser, which is already in ports).

@hi for music definitely symfonium, in combination with self-hosted subsonic it's awesome
for video i use VLC and photos just the stock gallery app, nothing fancy there
music: mucke (outdated, has lots of bugs, behaves weirdly on newer android, but i like it despite of it), auxio is pretty ok too
video: mpv (classic), jellyfin (i host my own private server)

@hi
I've enjoyed having switched from #GooglePhotos to #ente recently - there's a couple of things to get used to, but overall I like it. My main goal with it is photo backup, and being able to search photos by content ("mum", or "pasta recipe").
For music and video I use #VLC (but #Voice for audiobooks, and #AntennaPod for podcasts).

@hi well I use right freely but the kind of sounds like your friend is not ready to avoid dependency on big Tech
...
...
@hi yeah, same, in a way, but it seems impossible bc other ppl don’t want to leave their nook or cranny

@hi ghost (https://ghost.org/) is often promoted as a not shit Substack alternative
BearBlog (https://bearblog.dev/) is another option for text only blogging
@hi there is a WordPress as a service at OVH. Not sure if this is to be considered non-big-tech.
...
they probably would like to be able to migrate to static files later.
...
@hi ok. They also have "simple web hosting" that is all about using (s)FTP to upload files into an Apache subdirectory - if they’re tech-aware enough.
Note that I have no financial interest in or relation with OVH. It is just the known simple french hosting to go when you’re a french small customer.
...
I will caution that OVH likes to ratchet up their prices regularly, no "you're on the $N/month plan until you decide to change". I have one of my servers there and it annoys me every year when I re-up and the price has increased. 😑
That said, they run a tight ship with reliable hardware/service, and as loathe as I am to recommend WordPress for such a simple requirement, the ease of WP's "and cross-post this to other social-media-sites" with plugins is unmatched.
@hi Maybe writefreely or bearblog? Not sure if either of those have a way to easily crosspost, but they're the most common blogging platforms I've seen around on the fediverse.

@hi I’m enjoying Micro.blog at the moment. Great for posting to other platforms, but only costs $5 a month. Really easy to get started too.
