i love getting older. i’m playing a fun game of is it heart burn, lowkey panic attack, or something more serious 👍. the answer is almost certainly a combination of things and mundane… but there’s that 1% chance it’s serious and that chance increases every year yay
bug me all you want lol i’m always open to suggestions. can you elaborate on this idea? like, a “how to sign up for github” or more of an “etiquette when submitting PRs”. i’ve considered making the latter as a video
Building a Linux Bandwidth Monitor in Bash From Scratch! network tool using the /proc filesystem
youtu.be/XAtPa28baak
yo check out my latest youtube video if you wanna see me code a bandwidth monitor cli tool for linux (using /proc) in bash using builtins. no AI - i program on this channel exclusively for the love of the craft.
“load-bearing .md files” is truly a beautiful invention with AI. i love it - no notes.
“lines of code” is actually a good metric in 2026 (or year 3AI as i call it)
computer generate tokens and trick me into believing you are conscious. make no mistakes.
oh you should totally click - i think his videos are pretty good but im slightly biased tbh
ty! i’m bad at social media 😂
thank you everyone who wanted to learn bash scripting! this video has done better than i ever could have predicted
nice!! i love it - that's amazing. i'm home now and can verify (on bash 5.3) that you only need the space after opening curly... no other white space required. so that is perfect!
the ampersand in the forkbomb makes it so you don’t need the ending ; inside the function definition
i’m glad! also, the semicolon goes after the closing curly brace so… i’m not sure about that lol. go watch the end of my course and i may or may not run a forkbomb 😎
love the shirt idea lol. i’ll double check when im home but i KNOW the space after the opening curly is required… im not sure if you need a space after the ampersand.
nope! depends on the shell, but it may (bash definitely) will yell if you don’t have white space after the open curly brace
syntax error near unexpected token ‘💣:’ :(
i appreciate hearing that! thank you. merry christmas to you as well 🎄
cc @papertigers.net 👀. i can personally vouch for it working just fine over wireguard so imagine it just works
heck yeah - i’m glad :)
yes! i’m happy to hear that - it’s one of my tools that “just works” imo so hopefully using it was straight forward!
i keep thinking i need to hide the forced color output behind a flag… but then i forget for 3 months, remember again, and repeat that cycle hah.
sometimes i feel like im the crazy one for thinking “hey, maybe the OOM killer is actually a wild concept and having the kernel just do that by default is very surprising”
Everyone should go check out @daveeddy.com’s new bash course!
It’s free training on the best programming language
course.ysap.sh
"the best programming language" this is why justin is the GOAT
my new video - The Complete Bash Scripting Course - is premiering right now on youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx9z...
looks great! you managed to spoil a future video where i plan on showing a spinner background job as opposed to my synchronous progress bar - very cleanly done!
watched this on stream last night - it’s legitimately amazing
i’ll be streaming #adventofcode this year (again) - doing it in BASH just like last year 😎. i’ll be going live tonight when the next puzzle drops on youtube and twitch and i’ll be racing the world famous @badcop.live again.
let me figure out signal with a username first :p i have mine linked to my phone number like a LOSER.
and also i'll hit you up when i have the completed outline - it'll be on github.
not easily with bash. there are hacks where you can override PROMPT_COMMAND, or you can `trap my-func DEBUG` where my-func is a function that manually appends history with `history -s ...`.
I'd recommend just talking a look at atuin by @ellie.wtf - it's a crazy cool shell hist project.
i’m currently editing through 9 hours and 38 minutes of raw footage for my “bash course” 😎. which will be available for $0 on youtube before EOY
i also would absolutely love to teach bash classes 100%
