Also looking at my dotfiles repo...

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

This post is what is giving me the idea to finally set up a dotfiles repo for the first time.

Why would you ~~pipe~~ edit: redirect neofetch into your .bashrc?

[-] lco@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

so that everytime you launch a terminal, your neofetch data is displayed. Because wow, neofetch!!!

It doesn't really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way...

[-] radix@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

Maybe they meant to say echo neofetch >> ~/.bashrc.

[-] raubarno@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It won't work. It's a dangerous command because a single > destroys your .bashrc. You may want either echo 'neofetch' >> .bashrc or neofetch | sed -e 's:%:a:g' | sed -e "s:^\\(.*\\)$:printf '\1\\\\n':" >> .bashrc or something of that kind.

EDIT: tested out the latter command

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

true!! i meant echo neofetch >> .bashrc

Who's the true noob now? Smh

This is why you have a dotfiles repository, you noob!

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 9 months ago

That's a redirection, not a pipe.

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

i had i3 run with no problems on some of the worst machines I had to use. I'll fight with anyone that claims i3 is bloat.

OpenBSD users:

Too smart for NixOS - LMAO! I bet this guy has a conky on his Blackbox.

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Good old conky lol. Its like it was made to be a config playground, and the actual functionality was an afterthought.

[-] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Average OpenBSD user

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

Akchually, binary prefixes are the one and only correct prefixes for counting digital size of information (GiB instead of GB).

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

acckshually, i dont use 'Giga' or 'Mega', i just use bits, in scientific notation: 2.0*10^9

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That wouldn't be 2 GB, that would be 2 Gb

GB would be 2.0*10^9*8 bits

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

If you do neofetch > .bashrc you will simply have a broken shell config. To add neofetch to the bashrc you need to use echo.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago

it is actually a 200 IQ meme. your average coomfiger doesnt know that much about shell scripting, but thinks they do.

or something. i definitely didnt get it wrong myself

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

Almost and not always average Gentoo user

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Neofetch and NixOS are bloat.

Arch's X setup sucks, sx is better.

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 9 months ago

But I can't have sx if I use Linux ;(

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 9 months ago

I do use sx in Arch, though?

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 9 months ago

It was just an attempt at a dumb stereotypical joke that Linux users don't have sex

[-] Declamatie@mander.xyz 0 points 9 months ago

Also, 2 GB of dotfiles is bloat

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Must be pretty bad spaghetti code.
