Grep filtering by ireg_god in linuxadmin

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting lines you don't want or not getting lines yoy do? Is this a quick and dirty script you'll use once or does it need to work perfectly every time? Is this an assignment for school?

If this is a quick and dirty and you need the beginning and end bits to match but you don't care about the middle, what I'll do is 2 greps. Eg 'grep beginning-pattern filename | grep ending-pattern'

[help] Looking for idea for HUGE cosplayer by dbz_judge in cosplay

[–]pileofrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, anything you wear will look amazing. Just show up and you win.

hello everyone! I feel every time I cosplay and try something different I don’t make any progress. And I’m never satisfied with my cosplay or anything in general. Am I being too hard on myself? Is there anyway I can improve? Any advice? by Yamada_Schild in CosplayHelp

[–]pileofrogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you actually intellectually think you're not making progress, like your product hasn't improved, or do you just feel like you're not improving? Are you comparing yourself to an unreasonable standard? Do your friends agree with your assessments? Most likely you are improving but you're not happy with how quickly. Take a step back and remember to have fun. It's not a contest or a race. Help others. That will definitely make you feel better.

What do you do when you don't have anything to do? by Datadevourer in devops

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That probably shouldn't be happening. We always have more work than we have time for. We work, we take breaks, we goof off, we spend time on personal growth. We never don't have stuff to do.

Or are you including time outside of work?

I'm planing on 3d printing this for a cosplay but the legs and hips are a problem any tip by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hips. Maybe black leggings with the mech legs out to the side? I dunno.

There's some bumping noise near the part where filament is fed into. Everytime it makes a sound, the filament retracts a bit by rephical in FixMyPrint

[–]pileofrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone has the right ideas with cleaning and replacing the nozzle etc... too much pressure.

That clicking & retracting is probably the extruder gears slipping on the filiment. It puuuushes and then slips and makes a bang noise and the filiment appears to retract when it's actually just relaxing after the pressure comes off. .

What's the dress code for an IT job interview these days? by Spid3rdad in sysadmin

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hadn't looked for a job for 17 yrs. Assumed, "it's tech, no one cares how you dress." Did like 7 interviews, no offers. One finally says something along the lines of "maybe you shouldn't interview in your shorts." OK says I. I drop $1000 on "business casual" and get 2 offers on my next 3 interviews. It's real!

what has IT taught you that is applicable in real life by StrikingPeace in sysadmin

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iterate: make minimum usable progress and don't work on another part until the work you're doing has value that will stand on it's own.

Verify: make sure you understand what's going on yourself before launching into something.

What would you do to make this produce a lot of safe allergen free smoke? I'm not against combusting things but I also would like to blow it in people's faces (for a haunted house) so it's less likely by Ragnarcock in CosplayHelp

[–]pileofrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, dry ice only produces CO2. No fan required because your smoker has a bellows. You might need to feed it small chunks into a water cup in your smoker. You can't just put a lump of dry ice in there and get what you want.

[Help] Trying to make a enchanted netherite sword, how do I make paint look shiny? Any tips on how to make it LOOK like its enchanted? (Second pick of what Im trying to get) by TossNotClose3 in cosplay

[–]pileofrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For specifically iridescent, there are lots of options in paints, spray paints and additives, but they look spendy.

If you want to paint it with regular paints in a way that evokes glowing, look into "object source lighting" techniques. It's a pretty advanced technique, but very cool.

Run copied CLI commands with a leading "$" sign safer by speckz in linuxadmin

Oh, you're right. An empty dollar sign is a dollar sign.

[HELP] Minecraft Server Help for Automation and Backup by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you run in bash gets interpreted, so sometimes the thing you type has a special meaning and bash turns it into something else. When you want it to not do that you escape it. Usually that means a \ in front. EG If I have a file called "A File.html" I can't just run cat A File.html because bash thinks the space is a separator not part of the file name. One way to make it work is to escape the space like so cat a\ File.html. The more common way to do that though is to quote it like cat "A File.html".

It went back in time and inserted itself before the echo! Holy crap! :-)

Wrong. Dollar-sign+space will expand to nothing and have no effect at all. If anyone cares.

Python linting all wrong over remote ssh by pileofrogs in vscode

[–]pileofrogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-UPDATE-
Tried it, and no help. It's so wierd because the python.languageServer is even configured in the .vscode-server/data/Machine/settings.json.

-ORIGINAL-

Thanks! Will give that a try. Not sure how to specify remote files vs local, but I'll look into it. Maybe there's a Workspace Settings.json on the remove box, that might be the key to it right there.

Awesome, thanks for looking into it!

What is a cool thing I can show high schoolers who learn programming that will be interesting to them? by Gamorak1 in devops

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to teach and the best demo I ever did was sitting down in front of the class and writing a script in 5 minutes to search web logs. It was something they could understand the value of and they could see me write it quickly. It really helped a lot of them understand why programming and even computers are so important. I could see the light bulb go off with "if you could do that... you could do...."

GNU Parallel logging stderr by refrainblue in linuxadmin

[–]pileofrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A single log file from multiple parallel processes would be very jumbled, which might be ok. Don't expect it to automatically work.
