  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Also looking at my dotfiles repo...

    [–] dditty@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

    [–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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.

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

    [–] lco@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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    It doesn't really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way...

    [–] radix@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

    But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

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

    [–] raubarno@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

    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

    [–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    true!! i meant echo neofetch >> .bashrc

    [–] xan1242@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

    Who's the true noob now? Smh

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

    [–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

    That's a redirection, not a pipe.

    OpenBSD users:

    [–] mattomattic@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

    [–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

    Average OpenBSD user

    [–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 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

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

    [–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] Neon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

    GB would be 2.0*10^9*8 bits

    Neofetch and NixOS are bloat.

    Arch's X setup sucks, sx is better.

    [–] Declamatie@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Also, 2 GB of dotfiles is bloat

    [–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Must be pretty bad spaghetti code.

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I do use sx in Arch, though?

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

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