“this doesn’t count because it’s easy for me”

i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding
I am wondering why I haven't added the time to my shell prompt years ago.
I have been a happy #FishShell user for a while, but recently it feels like moving back to #Bash could really make sense, since the latter is almost always installed on every server and docker container. I think I'll just play around with its configuration a bit and see if e.g. auto-completion can be tuned up to a point I'd find it acceptable.

I just realized my Mastodon experience hasn’t enshittified one bit in the 2+ years I’ve been here.

In fact, it’s only gotten better.

📸 Recently I had the issue that I wanted to upload some photos into a online album. However, the photos had the wrong date, so the online album sorted it all wrong.

🖥️ Luckily, the filename consisted of the actual date. So I decided to write a small #FishShell command to change all the modified dates.

Batch fixing date of images based on filename in fish

I was confronted with a large amount of images, all of which did not have the correct date attached to them. Fortunately I was able to fix them by relying on the filename.

In the age of LLM agents, the intruder is already inside the house. If you're running Claude Code in dangerous mode, a prompt injection attack is one bash call away from exfiltrating almost anything that's unlocked on your machine, or using your (auth'd) gh cli to steal your repo

IIRC, the three main areas of concern are Content (HTML), Presentation (CSS), and Annoying Advertisements (JS), right?

😉

TIL that using xdebug_debug_zval's refcount is not entirely reliable, since xdebug seems to increase the refcount every time an exception us thrown. Took me quite some time to figure that out.
