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

[-] lco@kbin.social 33 points 2 years 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It doesn't really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way...

[-] radix@lemm.ee 36 points 2 years ago

But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

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

[-] raubarno@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago

true!! i meant echo neofetch >> .bashrc

[-] xan1242@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Who's the true noob now? Smh

(/s)

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 12 points 2 years ago

That's a redirection, not a pipe.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Good catch.

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly, that's bloat

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 40 points 2 years ago

2GB dotfile repo

being lost without vim keybinds

I use macOS btw

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 2 years ago

Also looking at my dotfiles repo...

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years 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.

[-] mattomattic@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] mattomattic@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years 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?

[-] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 years ago

Average OpenBSD user

[-] Francis_Fujiwara@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

OpenBSD users:

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Neofetch and NixOS are bloat.

Arch's X setup sucks, sx is better.

[-] Declamatie@mander.xyz 14 points 2 years ago

Also, 2 GB of dotfiles is bloat

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Must be pretty bad spaghetti code.

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 4 points 2 years ago

I do use sx in Arch, though?

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 14 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 years ago

Almost and not always average Gentoo user

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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
[-] umbraroze@kbin.social 30 points 2 years 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

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Gentoo users don't use systemd.

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Bold assumption you did here...

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Most Gentoo users use OpenRC.

[-] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago
[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

GB would be 2.0*10^9*8 bits

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

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years 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.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years 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
