Here’s one I have saved in my shell aliases.
nscript() {
local name="${1:-nscript-$(printf '%s' $(echo "$RANDOM" | md5sum) | cut -c 1-10)}"
echo -e "#!/usr/bin/env bash\n#set -Eeuxo pipefail\nset -e" > ./"$name".sh && chmod +x ./"$name".sh && hx ./"$name".sh
}
alias nsh='nscript'
Admittedly much more complicated than necessary, but it’s pretty full featured. first line constructs a filename for the new script from a generated 10 character random hash and prepends “nscript” and a user provided name.
The second line writes out the shebang and a few oft used bash flags, makes the file executable and opens in in my editor (Helix in my case).
The third line is just a shortened alias for the function.
It’s because the original image macro that this is based on was about piracy, saying something along the lines of “I bring a certain ‘just torrent it’ vibe to the conversion that the riaa just doesn’t like.”
Their reuse of the macro is indirectly an answer or a continuation of it that can be seen as acknowledging the original message.
Even if you need something just once, just install it and then uninstall it, takes like 10 seconds.
apt install foo && apt remove foo
That’s essentially what nix-shell -p
does. Not a special feature of nix, just nix’s way of doing the above.
Actually using it though is pretty convenient; it disappears on its own when I exit the shell. I used it just the other day with nix-shell -p ventoy
to install ventoy onto an ssd, I may not need that program again for years. Just used it with audible-cli to download my library and strip the DRM with ffmpeg. Probably won’t be needing that for a while either.
The other thing to keep in mind is that since Nix is meant to be declarative, everything goes in a config file, which screams semi-permenant. Having to do that with ventoy and audible-cli would just be pretty inconvenient. That’s why it exists; due to how Nix is, you need a subcommand for temporary one-off operations.
If you’re ok with just file storage sftpgo has been solid for me for years now. Does sftp ftp and WebDAV (like nextcloud). Webui isn’t as pretty but it’s fast. Mobile apps will be various sync apps with sftp or WebDAV support. On Android folder sync pro is pretty good for keeping documents and pictures backed up
Not trying to out myself, but I may be one of the few people that actually owned that shirt lol
Which Android devices are you currently using?
Oneplus 7 Pro
What do you love most about them?
Having a pop-up camera probably, clean uninterrupted screen.
Having an unlockable bootloader and non-oem roms is pretty nice too.
What do you dislike?
Probably the rounded glass screen edges.
Stock roms are utter trash.
Have 256gb storage, but microsd expansion would be nice.
Would love to run CalyxOS or GrapheneOS, but understandably there’s no build for this phone.
Edit: Detail. Also probably won’t consider changing phone until Google foldables get good and can de-google with a aftermarket rom.
Kopia repo on a separate disk dedicated to backups. Have Kopia on my servers as well sending to my local s3 gateway and second copy to wasabi.
Today’s episode of Veronica Explains is brought to you in part by corporate greed.
Less than 5 seconds in and I already know I’m going to like this video.
Mint doesn’t build cloud images as far as I’m aware.
Snaps are pretty terrible IMO, so I usually end up bootstrapping a custom Ubuntu image without snap for this reason (and others) for my cloud images. Definitely not general purpose though.
I can’t believe this hasn’t gotten any comments yet. This is a great post OP! Thank you for providing such an information dense and through contribution here.
Thank you OP, I always enjoy the SUSE parodies! I’ pretty partial to the third one, and I’m not even into Metal lol
Damn, all this nix hype has me wanting to jump off of my Kinoite install. Maybe it’s time to dust off my old nix config I’ve tucked away. Found a new Youtube sub too. Thanks OP!
Holy crap that’s awesome! I’d be lucky to get 1 minute out of my trash Cyberpower UPS once the power goes out. Thanks for the informative post OP! And for the inspiration!
I think ejabberd or another other xmpp server would have been my first choice for a service like this by a long shot. If only we had some good iOS clients to go to. While I’m on android, most of the family and some of the friends use iOS, so it was kind of a non-starter from that alone.
Edit: log -> long
Me. $350 off and $100 worth of storage upgrades on a Pixel 9 pro was worth it for me. Phones now are expensive as fuck but getting a ~40% discount on a brand new product made it easier to accept.
