What's your favorite CLI utility to screw around with?
  • Nundrum Nundrum 4w ago 100%

    If you're enjoying Sherlock, why not try Metasploit?

    In another direction, perhaps the most CLI fun I've had at work was using the phosphor hack of XScreenSaver and piping a lot of useful info to it.

  • Why Prometheus + Grafana over other monitoring options?
  • Nundrum Nundrum 2mo ago 100%

    LibreNMS has a very different purpose from your other monitoring options - it's network monitoring at a large scale, not a generic data storage / data visualization platform. If your goal is to monitor your selfhosted servers and services, this is going to be an odd fit and you'll probably struggle against it.

    Better fits for an out-of-the-box monitoring setup would be CheckMK or Zabbix.

    These other "stacks" for monitoring are a little more bespoke. To cover it briefly:

    Grafana is popular because it is a fantastic visualization platform. The backend data storage is pluggable.

    There are many options for data storage, all that are a little different. Graphite, is push-based and the Statsd compatibility makes it super simple to push your own metrics into it. Prometheus is pull-based. And InfluxDB is more of a time-series database.

  • What was it that convinced you to start using NeoVim? | How long was your "evaluation period"? | What convinced you that NeoVim was the best for you?
  • Nundrum Nundrum 6mo ago 100%

    Conjure is what did it for me. I kept running into trouble with Clojure vs ClojureScript vs Babashka projects with vim. Just couldn't get the config to work consistently when switching between projects.

    The eval period was about a day.

    NuShell 0.88
  • Nundrum Nundrum 10mo ago 100%

    Yes, that changes the borders. But it doesn't turn a column into a table. Compare ls /proc in both bash and nu. It's a simple kind of thing that I can't find a solution for in nu.

  • NuShell 0.88
  • Nundrum Nundrum 10mo ago 100%

    Sadly that's still not a compact output. The listing is still just as long as before scrolls right off the terminal

    Hey Nu fans: is there some way to get compact ls output? Like a table of just names. No type, date, size, etc.

  • [Weekly thread] What is the best movie you watched last week? 23 September
  • Nundrum Nundrum 1y ago 100%

    Dr. Caligari https://letterboxd.com/film/dr-caligari/

    I did not know what to expect going in to this one. 10 minutes in I was thinking it would be unbearable. 20 minutes in and I was laughing. It somehow gets weirder and funnier all the way through. And when I say weird, it's like Eraserhead level weird.

    I have the same weird obsession with GITD stuff. One of my pendants has tritium-powered glow tube in it.

    Wouldn't it be nice to have, say, a Mastodon TUI that could show images in-line? A lot of terminals are capable of that. Here is an interesting demo showing 3d rendering *in* the terminal: https://github.com/MasFlam/notcurses-rend3d

    The case for nushell
  • Nundrum Nundrum 1y ago 100%

    Nushell is nice, but the lack of vi-style keybindings killed it for me as a replacement for bash. If that ever changes, I'll try it again.

  • Cyberpunk in the Nineties
  • Nundrum Nundrum 1y ago 100%

    This one hit home for me:

    We're just not much good any more at refusing things because they don't seem proper. As a society, we can't even manage to turn our backs on abysmal threats like heroin and the hydrogen bomb. As a culture, we love to play with fire, just for the sake of its allure; and if there happens to be money in it, there are no holds barred. Jumpstarting Mary Shelley's corpses is the least of our problems; something much along that line happens in intensive-care wards every day.

    One of the real gems I had missed until recently: Orphan Black. And I'll second the recommendation for Severance.

    Akira! I haven't seen it, but from the previews Chappie might fit the bill.

    Here's something nobody has seen, but is sweet despite the premise: Brigsby Bear https://letterboxd.com/film/brigsby-bear/

    I think this fits, too: Moonrise Kingdom https://letterboxd.com/film/moonrise-kingdom/ If you have my sense of humor, you'll also find this one rather funny.

    By way of one of the *least* cyberpunk channels, this guy has made the **most** cyberpunk cocktail. I think it's delicious.
