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

[-] lco@kbin.social 33 points 1 year 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It doesn't really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way...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 1 year ago

But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

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

[-] raubarno@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

true!! i meant echo neofetch >> .bashrc

[-] xan1242@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Who's the true noob now? Smh

(/s)

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

That's a redirection, not a pipe.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Good catch.

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly, that's bloat

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 40 points 1 year ago

2GB dotfile repo

being lost without vim keybinds

I use macOS btw

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 1 year ago

Also looking at my dotfiles repo...

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 3 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 23 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 5 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.

[-] mattomattic@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Average OpenBSD user

[-] Francis_Fujiwara@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

OpenBSD users:

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Neofetch and NixOS are bloat.

Arch's X setup sucks, sx is better.

[-] Declamatie@mander.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

Also, 2 GB of dotfiles is bloat

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Must be pretty bad spaghetti code.

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 4 points 1 year ago

I do use sx in Arch, though?

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 14 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

Almost and not always average Gentoo user

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Gentoo users don't use systemd.

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bold assumption you did here...

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Most Gentoo users use OpenRC.

[-] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago
[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year 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 1 year 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
