( command | sloooower 0.000277 is pretty much a 3600 bauds output)

That’s very good.

Generalization and line feed customisation :

function sloooower() {
	BASE_INTERVAL=${1:-0.05}
	RET_ADD_INTERVAL=${2:-0.1}
	CHAR_ADD_INTERVAL=${3:-0}
	while IFS= read -r -n1 char; do
		if [[ -z "$char" ]]; then
			sleep "${RET_ADD_INTERVAL}"
			printf "\n"
		else
			sleep "${CHAR_ADD_INTERVAL}"
			printf "%s" "$char"
		fi
		sleep "${BASE_INTERVAL}"
	done
}
alias sl='ls | sloooower'

I try to organise my data in the cleanest way possible, with the less double possible etc… I end up using a lot of symbolic links. When doing maintenance, sometimes I want to navigate in the “unlogical” way the data are organized, but the PWD variable is not necessarily very cooperative. This alias is really useful in my case :

alias realwd='cd -P .'  

Here is an example :

$ echo $PWD  
/home/me  
$ cd Videos/Torrents/  
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me/Videos/Torrents  
$ realwd  
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me/data/Torrents/Video  

I also do some X application, compositor and WM development, and I have a few aliases to simplify tasks like copying from an Xorg session to an Xnest (and the other way around), or reload the xrandr command from my .xinitrc without duplicating it.

alias screenconf='$(grep -o "xrandr[^&]*" ~/.xinitrc)'  
alias clip2xnext='xclip -selection clip -o -display :0 | xclip -selection clip -i -display :1'  
alias clip2xorg='xclip -selection clip -o -display :1 | xclip -selection clip -i -display :0'  

I have an alias for using MPV+yt-dlp with my firefox cookies :

alias yt="mpv --ytdl-raw-options='cookies-from-browser=firefox'"  

I can’t stand too long lines of text on my monitor, particularly when reading manpages, so I set the MANWIDTH env variable.

# Note : if you know that *sometimes* your terminal will be smaller than 80 characters  
# refer to that https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Man_page  
export MANWIDTH=80  

I use null-pointers a lot, with a shorthand.

# Note: env.sh actually provide other helpful aliases on their homepage  
function envs.sh() {  
	if [ $# != 1 ]; then  
		1>&2 printf "Error, need one argument.\n"  
		return 1  
	fi  
	curl -F'file=@'"$1" https://envs.sh/  
}  

The usual fake editor in my path, so that browsers and other applications open Vim the correct way.

#!/bin/sh  
# st_vim.sh - executable in my ~/.local/bin  
# for example in firefox's about:config :  
#   - view_source.editor.path : set to the value of $(which st_vim.sh)  
#   - view_source.editor.external : set to true  

st -- $EDITOR "$*"  

My .xinitrc is quite classical, I still have this in it (setup for dwm’s title bar, people usually install much complicated programs) :

while true; do xsetroot -name "$(date +"%d %H:%M")"; sleep 60; done &  

I also have a lot of stupid scripts for server and desktop maintenance, disks cleaning etc… those are handy but are also very site-specific, let me know if your interested.

Was high, and reading the journal. Phased on the name of somebody and then choose.

It was like “Yeah… this one, I like it”

Hey !

On the last 4 years I’ve been working full time / having a lot of occupations the rest of the time, and yeah … it sucks.

Depending on my social situation I have two main solutions :

1. Organizing with people : when I live w/ people we often organize for food preparation. Someday somebody will pack lunch for everybody in the house in the morning / the evening, or the week-end for the week.
2. Doing biiiig meal on the week-end, for the whole week / half the week: Things like broths can be really well conserved, as well as sandwich ingredients etc… You are not obligated to do full meal, you can also prep some parts to lightweight meal prep during the week etc… This ofc depends on when and how you have free-time.

This also comes with alarm clock, reminder etc… so I don’t fck up my rhythm.

Also, I am vegetarian and had a lot of financial issues lately, this was also a strategy I / we used to buy food from wholesale merchants.
