If you want more help with Bash in the future, this is the best resource I’ve found in 13 years of writing bash professionally: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/EnglishFrontPage

Bash FAQs and pitfalls are the primary sections to look at there.

Thank you for providing the easiest and most portable answer. This will handle files with special characters perfectly unlike most of the responses here which rely on a while loop (to say nothing of a for loop ).

Shell scripts are one of the worst possible applications of an LLM. They’re trained on shit fucking GitHub scripts, and they give you shit in return.

You may have a bit of a hard time finding something that’s completely FLOSS that’s not on the older side (the sar visualizer being a Java desktop application being a consequence of that age). There are various ways to dump resource usage into a time series database like Prometheus (Apache2), InfluxDB (Apache2/MIT), or VictoriaMetrics (Apache2) and then visualize it with a frontend (Grafana, APGL). The database is going to be the tricky part. All of the time series DBs I’m aware of are permissively licensed. Grafana may be a good fit for you, however. It’s written in Go so it’s relatively light, although it obviously requires a browser to interact with.

It does, the repo is tagged as AGPL.

Was this done according to proper clean-room design principles? If so, then imo the GPL is still working as intended. The company had to spend a fuckton of money and time getting one engineer to read the source and describe what was done to other engineers, and then ensure that one engineer never ever worked on the project again.

If they didn’t do that then they violated the GPL and someone should report them to the SFLC.

It’s amazing that he released the game for free, given the amount of time he’s spent on it.

This is the most important piece of information. You should edit the post and/or title to make this more clear.

the f stands for file. The c manpage has some details on how it works: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/flock.2.html

I’ve been on a Lethal Company kick for a few months. I’ve been getting super involved in the “high quota” scene, where people try to get the highest quota possible. It involves a lot of crazy tech and good team work, and I’m really enjoying it.

Yep, taking some care early on can pay dividends down the road. The data structures you choose really matter, and YAGNI can stop you from going overboard with indirection and other shit. Premature optimization is bad, but there’s nothing wrong with writing performant software as long as it’s still comprehensible and extensible.

It also lacks any form of dependency management AFAICT. I don’t think there’s any way to say you depend on another service. I’m guessing you can probably order things lexically? But that’s, uh, shitty and bad.

I wrote and maintained a lot of sysvinit scripts and I fucking hated them. I wrote Upstart scripts and I fucking hated them. I wrote OpenRC scripts and I fucking hated them. Any init system that relies on one of the worst languages in common use nowadays can fuck right off. Systemd units are well documented, consistent, and reliable.

From my 30 seconds of looking, I actually like nitro a bit more than OpenRC or Upstart. It does seem like it’d struggle with daemons the way sysvinit scripts used to. Like, you have to write a process supervisor to track when your daemonized process dies so that it can then die and tell nitro (which is, ofc, a process supervisor), and it looks like the logging might be trickier in that case too. I fucking hate services that background themselves, but they do exist and systemd does a great job at handling those. It also doesn’t do any form of dependency management AFAICT, which is a more serious flaw.

Nitro seems like a good option for some use cases (although I cannot conceive why you’d want to run a service manager in a container when docker and k8s have robust service management built into them), but it’s never touching the disk on any of the tens of thousands of boxes I help administrate. systemd is just too good.

Just journalctl | grep and you’re good to go. The binary log files contain a lot of metadata per message that makes it easy to do more advanced filtering without breaking existing log file parsers.

Open source isn’t good enough, I want my software to use a strong copyleft license with no ability to relicense via a CLA (CLAs that don’t grant the ability to relicense software are rare, but acceptable). AGPL for servers, GPL for local software, LGPL for libraries when possible, and Apache, MIT, or BSD ONLY when LGPL doesn’t make sense.

I’m positive it has the same issues as any other Windows VM setup. If you’ve got two GPUs, you can probably pass one of them through to the VM and get good graphical performance.

I wish the virtio-gpu stuff hadn’t died on Windows…

EDIT: It might not be dead? That’s cool if so.

If the game uses Unity and the mods are posted on Thunderstore, then Gale works perfectly.

And even then, zfs dedup is a WHOLE can of worms.

Powershell is a better language but is absolutely dogshit for interactive use IME. It’s SO wordy and the excessive use of camelCase is annoying and I yearn for simple GNU coreutils every time I touch it. Like, give me tail -f please, why does cat also have a -Wait option or whatever the fuck

A bunch of GNU tools have added JSON output and it’s so good. Like, GNU column can take tabular data and convert it into JSON really easily. It’s like the perfect text stream.
