Bash csh zsh ksh tksh fish are powerful CLI tools

Entire networks can be controlled and build with them.

Let's take for example command line tools to control media output

For me e.g mplayer and vlc -I cli are much more interesting when it comes down to standard control of media playback. I prefer to use MOC (mocp) Music 🎼 on Console, instead of bulky RAM hungry programs, which go on the internet to _fetch data that I never asked for$ and thus burn bandwidth

The memory footprint of Music on Console is so low that you can use it on a system which has been built more than two and a half decades ago.

The only graphical media playback program I know that can do that also has been written by my friend Andy Loafoe and that is alsaplayer

Andy programmed alsaplayer when he saw Delitracker playing on my Amiga systems
We're talking the period when Linux was barely moving in Xwindows when you had window managers like fvwm & twm and few others.
The alsa audio interface was also just born.

It is within this context that Andy envisioned alsaplayer. It should be modular just like Delitracker Amiga, it should be lightweight Delitracker runs on an Amiga A500 with just half A megabyte of chip ram
That should still be memory left to do other the things so straight calls were made to widget libraries which explains the simplicity yet great usability of the UI. For as far as I remember Andy has also written an API for Alsaplayer

Within a few weeks to a few months of coding alsaplayer came out of Alpha and went Bèta in code stability.

Because everything was written with efficiency in mind and it was programmed as portable as possible, alsaplayer can still be used many decades after It has been written, one of the main reasons is that it has been coded by a command line programmer

For me working on the command line has always been logical, graphic user interfaces were only used when absolutely necessary think about GEOS on the C64

I started coding on the Casio FX 700p programmable calculator. I went so far to make program code that was in the book more efficient by crunching all the commands with two letter abbreviations.

The power of the Command Line something the Young Ones should Learn

#Poll: Curious about people's attitudes towards shell scripting.

Two part question:

  1. Are you a DEVeloper (or working in a development-heavy role), OTHER-IT worker (such as a sysadmin, architect, anything in a non-development-heavy role), or NON-IT (accountant, doctor, whatever)
  2. Do you HATE shell scripting, are you INDIFferent towards (or ignorant of) shell scripting, or do you LOVE it?

As you can see in the screen cap the project has grown beyond just a one-man show

It is vital to understand that the project would not have been scaled in this manner & at this logarithmic rate, had it not been for important partners, who due to the power of the FediVerse, were quickly introduced to the project

Did not only gave words of interest they actually contributed with giving server space to boxyBSD.

An insightful article was written by @gyptazy
If this is of your interest, and you take the time to read, analyze between the lines what has been said, you will learn a lot from this

If you are passionate about Proxmox like I am, you will love to read these kind of posts, because they've been systematically, logically and relatively simply formulated, so that it's digestible for the end user of proxmox all the way up to the diehard programmer who hacks in Proxmox code

@wolf480pl @cas it's easy...

The reasons one can despise something and the reason one appreciates it can be different.

I.e. I can appreciate #macOS for it's #accessibility right from the #installer but I can #despise it for #Apple not selling it as a commercial #Unix distro for a #subscription

Same with #bash: I can appreciate it for being better than #sh (unix-#shell) , #tcsh or #csh but I despise it for not having modernized like #fish.

It's called having "mixed feelings" or rather #NuancedOpinion.
