A bit about #Tor usage, if you ever wanted to know.

I have a couple of working computers and a home one and absolutely routinely, as of now, use Tor for NAT traversal to connect to them remotely via #ssh :

#torify ssh <username@adress.onion>

The connection has rather higher latency than a normal one, but still perfectly usable in the text mode: basic #bash, #MidnightCommander . Forget about GUI, though.

Moreover, it allows me to have a local #Mercurial store (for historical reasons I am not a big fan of #git - skip your disapproval, I am finally not a professional programmer). And last but not least, a version control system is good for writing of scientific articles --- especially if you use #LaTeX, but for a #LibreOffice -based process will do as well. Say,

torify hg push

Shell Script Descomplicado #7 - Um para você, um para mim

https://bolha.tube/w/mWYxe1xGJ9cfLPvhbmrxHU

I have a simple script that adds and updates dates in a blog post by prek (precommit) before git commit.

It works well in linux, but does not work as expected on macos. In Mac it sets initial time, but does not update it.

I thought it’s very simple bug, very good to delegate to AI coding tool, my AI agent was github copilot.

Copilot generated me nodejs code inside bash to fix the issue, but it did not. It rewrote almost completely my bash script to nodejs, but it did not work as well.

When I gave up and checked by myself, it required to add “-u” option to “date” cli for macOS.

There was an another task that involved another git command’s parameters and “AI” decided to add 20 lines of code with no positive result.

How do people build a startup and fully functional apps with it?

I use it for function generations, tests, structs… but when it goes to something more complicated it never works with “good enough” quality for me.

#prek #precommit #linux #macos #ai #github #github_Copilot #bash #nodejs #startup #git

Today is #piday Here's a #bash script I saved as "pi" somewhere in $PATH

#!/bin/bash
echo "scale=$1;a(1)*4" | bc -l

I demonstrate it this way:

$ for i in {1..20}; do pi $i; done

In the previous post FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 10 – monitoring with VictoriaMetrics and Grafana, we configured VictoriaMetrics, node_exporter, Grafana and created a basic dashboard and basic alerts.

Now, I want to add a bit more monitoring – to see process CPU/RAM data, SMART information, and ZFS details.

Everything written here has been added to the setevoy2/nas-monitoring repository: it […]

Working on PTIndex and the script that pulls it. Then playing some Rotwood - 2026-03-13_11-25-37

Very exciting: SED can edit a file "in place"! Since before I was born, probably, LOL.

sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//' goals-SANITIZED-bank.txt

This strips trailing whitespace from every line.

Just did some #livestreaming over on my #owncast stream.ozoned.net .

Worked on the #bash script for my public #Peertube index file that's hosted at ptindex.btfree.org if anyone wants to use it!

Or if you want to create your own chain of trust, you can get the script at git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex and make your own!

Want to be alerted next time I go live? Just follow @ozoned@stream.ozoned.net from ANY Fediverse instance, and when I go live, you'll get a notification!
