  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    I hope we see more Notcurses apps in the future

    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

  • 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.

  • Good catch with the camera!

  • 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.

    Cyberpunk in the Nineties

    Bruce Sterling writing about Cyberpunk.

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

  • It's not in the ginger family. Don't eat it. But you can make tea with it! I think this is the wild ginger. It wants to grow everywhere in the yard and in every pot. It usually has a root knot that makes it harder to pull out than most weeds.

  • There are a bunch. Here's a list: https://youhadmeatgardening.com/best-plant-identification-app/

    I don't have one installed myself. My partner did the identification. I think he's using plant.id.

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

    Can you identify this?

    The plant ID apps think it is wild ginger, but it does not look like a good match to me. There is a ton of wild ginger trying to take over my yard, and this is definitely not the same plant.

    Meet up?

  • If you are a reader of Scott Alexander, there is an ACX meetup monthly in Atlanta. Engaging people and conversations to be had there. I'm a semi-regular there.

    The Deckard's Dream cocktail

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

    Cardoon!

    The first time I saw cardoon was at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Big, beautiful, and edible? I wanted to grow my own.

    But thus far, no success. I got a single seedling up to maybe 6 inches around last year, but it was too late in the season. All the seedlings I started the spring failed to thrive and finally gave out. What's the secret to getting them going?

    Creating new communities?

    I'd like to have one for local (sub)urban gardening. Between the clay ground and the ever-present shade, it's a challenge here in Atlanta. But I don't see how to create a community for that here.
