But still the sunken stars appear In dark and windless Mirrormere; There lies his crown in water deep, Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

  • [GUIDANCE] "For" in Bash

  • This about the IFS variable was eye opening! Thank you SO much! This is exactly what I was trying to understand, namely, how on earth the for-loop is smart enough to understand how to count when I haven't specified a numerical interval (as I do in for instance C when I practice that). This just solved it all. Thanks! Now I also understand why my code gave me excessive outputs when I changed ls into ls -l. The IFS variable made the for-loop count every single blank space!!! :D

  • Reading this part of the Bash manual for the third time today, I think I finally understood it better, thanks to this part in particular:

    [...]execute commands once for each word in the resultant list [...]

    In other words, whatever follows in is half expected to result in a list of words (items), each for which command is then executed. Beyond that, I guess I'd have to simply look at the logic behind for-expressions.

    Thanks!

  • I was a teacher for some years and I absolutely understand your style of explanation. I don't find it condescending at all! Thank you so much for the in depth guidance! Some of it I already knew, some of it I didn't. Anyhow, a new perspective is always appreciated! :) God, Bash (GNU/Linux in general) is so much fun!

  • Are You Emotionally Prepared To Die?

    Jump

  • No.

    The mere thought that my life is going to end at some point makes me freeze up emotionally and physically. It exacerbates my depression to a point where I sometimes simply call in sick.

    It's sad. There is so much beauty in this world, in our existence, in our universe and one day my body will give up because of old age or because of sickness, depriving me of it all.

    There is so much that I haven't experienced, and it's not relativistic. I don't buy the BS that some people try to console me with when they say that the only reason that I value life and all it's beauty is because it's finite. F*ck you all. I genuinely weep at the sunrise, at the beauty in people, at the undiscovered knowledge of the universe regardless. I wish my life would never end.

    For those of you that know the Japanese animated series Naruto, I feel so much compassion for Orochimaru, even though his human experiments were vile and evil.

    My depression sometimes makes me want to stop existing to stop suffering from it, but that's a sickness and an internal struggle and it doesn't represent my true feelings. I don't want to die.

  • [SOLVED] Send commands to Linux box via e-mail?

    Jump

  • Now THAT sounds like a smart solution! I'll look into it! :) I can ask my ISP to give me a static address for my home. But something needs to prompt the ssh command "at home" to connect to my second computer, right (actually Termux on my Android phone)?

  • [SOLVED] Send commands to Linux box via e-mail?

    Jump

  • True. Hadn't thought of that. Maybe I could make the address extremely long and arbitrary? And "hide" it behind my e-mail alias service?

    But I absolutely understand the security implications.

  • [SOLVED] Send commands to Linux box via e-mail?

    Jump

  • Hm... I'd run the script/service with root privileges and make the commands concise one-liners, maybe... I'm actually only looking at the shutdown command , presuming that it does sync and umount gracefully...

    Maybe I could reduce security risks by creating a user that can only run shutdown. And make it so that only that user can access (download, print, execute) emails?

  • What items do you have multiple of even though one would suffice?

    Jump

  • Chances to make a change in my miserable, depressive life. It only takes one opportunity to capture, one chance to seize and decide to do things differently, but alas, I'm not there yet. Thankfully, I have multiple - nay - an unlimited amount of chances ahead.

    Materialistically speaking, off the top of my head, maybe my physical security keys (Yubico)? I have a backup key so that I don't get locked out of my accounts in case I loose my main key, but I could manage without the backup. Jeesh, it's hard to come up with something material that I have multiple of since I'm a minimalist and literally have like ONE plate and ONE spoon/fork/knife if you catch my drift.
