Why would you ~~pipe~~ edit: redirect neofetch into your .bashrc?

[-] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago

so that everytime you launch a terminal, your neofetch data is displayed. Because wow, neofetch!!!

It doesn't really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way...

[-] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago

But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

Maybe they meant to say echo neofetch >> ~/.bashrc.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It won't work. It's a dangerous command because a single > destroys your .bashrc. You may want either echo 'neofetch' >> .bashrc or neofetch | sed -e 's:%:a:g' | sed -e "s:^\\(.*\\)$:printf '\1\\\\n':" >> .bashrc or something of that kind.

EDIT: tested out the latter command

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

true!! i meant echo neofetch >> .bashrc

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Who's the true noob now? Smh

(/s)

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

actually. i meant neofetch > bashrc, as in neofetch is better. checkmate

This is why you have a dotfiles repository, you noob!

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

That's a redirection, not a pipe.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Good catch.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Exactly, that's bloat

[-] [email protected] 40 points 11 months ago

2GB dotfile repo

being lost without vim keybinds

I use macOS btw

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Also looking at my dotfiles repo...

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

This post is what is giving me the idea to finally set up a dotfiles repo for the first time.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

i had i3 run with no problems on some of the worst machines I had to use. I'll fight with anyone that claims i3 is bloat.

Too smart for NixOS - LMAO! I bet this guy has a conky on his Blackbox.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Good old conky lol. Its like it was made to be a config playground, and the actual functionality was an afterthought.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Afterthought is an understatement. I didn't mind piping some of that info into an i3 status bar, but just a couple things. Who needs to watch all that distracting system stuff all the time. Using autocompletions on the command line would get that info quick enough. And whoever down voted my original comment - I'm laughing about it. Serious business right?

Neofetch and NixOS are bloat.

Arch's X setup sucks, sx is better.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Also, 2 GB of dotfiles is bloat

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Must be pretty bad spaghetti code.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

But I can't have sx if I use Linux ;(

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I do use sx in Arch, though?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

It was just an attempt at a dumb stereotypical joke that Linux users don't have sex

Almost and not always average Gentoo user

[-] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)
  • Has over 100 obscure USE flags he forgot what they do
  • Needs two days to configure his kernel and two more to compile it.
  • Uses ancient thinkpad
  • Uses lynx because firefox won't compile
  • Uses rusty old software because of "tradition"
  • Uptime ~30 years
[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Uptime ~30 years

Too generous for Gentoo.

"Maybe if I tweak the kernel config juuuuust a little bit today" "Is it just me or did this particular version of gcc make the kernel 0.0002% slower? I need to do some tests" "...Dunno, it just feels slower today, I guess I need to recompile the whole system"

Uptime: 30 minutes, tops

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

True I didn't take this into account. On the other hand we have systemd soft-reboot now.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Gentoo users don't use systemd.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Bold assumption you did here...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Most Gentoo users use OpenRC.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

you forgot the cooling pad it's on since the fans died like a decade ago

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I write in POSIX shell as a matter of principle.

My "dotfiles" repo is a few Kb in size.

I am too dumb and lazy to try Nix.

I do like using vim keybindings in my terminal.

Neofetch is bloat, I wrote a script that shows some essential information when the machine starts and that's it.

Akchually, binary prefixes are the one and only correct prefixes for counting digital size of information (GiB instead of GB).

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

acckshually, i dont use 'Giga' or 'Mega', i just use bits, in scientific notation: 2.0*10^9

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That wouldn't be 2 GB, that would be 2 Gb

GB would be 2.0*10^9*8 bits

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

uhhh uhhh what's more bloated than windows 10 uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i honestly don't know

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

nooo that has smaller icon's mabye windows 8 start screen

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

If you do neofetch > .bashrc you will simply have a broken shell config. To add neofetch to the bashrc you need to use echo.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

it is actually a 200 IQ meme. your average coomfiger doesnt know that much about shell scripting, but thinks they do.

or something. i definitely didnt get it wrong myself
