It’s nice to agree with someone on the Internet for once :)

Have a great day!

Honestly, if a script grows to more than a few tens of lines I’m off to a different scripting language because I’ve written enough shell script to know that it’s hard to get right.

Shellcheck is great, but what’s greater is a language that doesn’t have as many gotchas from the get go.

-e is great until there’s a command that you want to allow to fail in some scenario.

I know OP is talking about bash specifically but pipefail isn’t portable and I’m not always on a system with bash installed.

Where’s the PC? Is it the brick on the desk? 🤣

Yay… sigh…

Ok, so: bottled water to drink at home in countries with safe drinking water.

Bottled water to drink at home.

Hrm maybe.

I mean a wristwatch can be 200m water resistant and still be user servicable. A simple rubber gasket, some silicone grease and some screws.

It’s ridiculous!

Ok, its a battery charger. Why is it so big?

IKR.

Why did we start building batteries into phones?

I hear ya.

But for example do modern set top boxes, blue ray etc. have DP?

Problem is, very few things output or input DP.

HDMI, for better or worse, seems to be ubiquitous.

AI generated house? Also, nice garden…

That’s the spirit!

I think you’d be limiting yourself.

Maybe rely on community reviews more to check it’s not slop? Assuming they themselves aren’t slop.

Sigh…

Is it an automatic lock-in?

(I expect 2 brits to get this)

Thanks. I appreciate this kind of post.

All to easy to have a feed full of doom.

Show us the real dystopia, oh wise one.

Wren and Stimpy?
