ShaunaTheDead, to lemmyshitpost in It's a vibe
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

I don't think it has to do with being female or anime. I think OP is saying that they're either a transgender woman or a femboy who is still in the closet

ShaunaTheDead, (edited ) to linux in What's the best way to have a .bashrc that I can use throughout systems?
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

You need to learn bash scripting. Also, there are a few default files that the .bashrc uses which can be helpful to compartmentalize the custom things you do to it so that it's easier to undo if you screw something up. To do that, just add this to the bottom of your .bashrc

if [ -f ~/.bash_custom ]; then
    . ~/.bash_custom
fi

What that will do is check if the .bash_custom file exists and then run the .bash_custom file in your home directory and apply anything in there. Also, you can call the file whatever you like, but bash does have some defaults that it will check for and run them without editing the .bashrc at all. It's kind of hard to find a list of the the files that it automatically checks for, but I know that .bash_aliases is one of them, and I think it checks .bash_commands as well, but I'm not entirely sure. Either way, you can force it to check your custom one by using the code above.

Then you can create the file and add any custom things in there that you like. For example, I like to frequently update through the terminal but running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt autoremove && flatpak upgrade was a bit tedious and I wanted a bit less feedback so I made a custom alias for my personal use.

alias update='echo "Updating packages..."; sudo apt update -y &> /dev/null; echo "Packages updated."; echo "Upgrading packages..."; sudo apt upgrade -y &> /dev/null; echo "Packages upgraded."; echo "Cleaning up packges..."; sudo apt autoremove -y &> /dev/null; echo "Packages cleaned up."; echo "Updating flatpaks..."; flatpak update -y &> /dev/null; echo "Flatpaks updated."'

Which hides most of the text from updating and just gives me feedback on what it's currently doing if I don't really care to know all of the details. So now I just run update in the terminal and plug in my password and it updates and upgrades everything in a human readable way.

There's a lot that can be done with bash scripting, like editing files, iterating over files and directories, setting environment variables. It's basically a full programming language so the limits are mostly your imagination.

ShaunaTheDead, to archaeology in Byzantine gold coin with 'face of Jesus' unearthed by metal detectorist in Norway

lol but it's definitely a typo. If you click on the link the actual article says "700 year old".

ShaunaTheDead, to risa in Trek Club
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

I was and continue to be shocked that there are conservative Star Trek fans. I just can't wrap my head around how they justify it. It's very clearly painting socialism and left leaning ideas as the universally correct ideals which will lead us to a utopia.

ShaunaTheDead, to memes in alternative to trees
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

Guys, it's not one or the other. We can have trees and algae tanks. Trees can still offer all of the benefits they do like shade and beauty while algae tanks can be used to increase fresh oxygen. Algae is much better at absorbing CO2 than trees and providing clean air which is a big problem in a busy city.

ShaunaTheDead, (edited ) to memes in another video essay
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

TLDW: James Somerton is a gay man and a YouTube content "creator" who has recently been outed as a plagiarist by Hbomberguy and Todd In The Shadows. He primarily steals content from other lesser known queer content creators which just makes his plagiarism all the more insidious.

He has also strangely been proven to be guilty of spreading pseudohistory in which he changes details of historic events.

He has also been accused of a Patreon scam by making a (now deleted) video pleading with his subscribers on YouTube that he can't make ends meet and he'll have to stop making videos if he doesn't get more Patreon subscribers. He got 1200 new patrons from that video. He apparently immediately purchased an $8000 camera afterwards which people describe as a "bizarre purchase" for someone who was just in financial dire straits. Also, there was no evidence of him having suffered a drop in subscribers that he claimed was the reason for his financial situation.

He has also been accused by YouTuber and Nebula creator Jessie Gender of transphobia. She says that James Somerton has gone out of his way to erase any queer content creators who were not cisgender gay men, and that he intentionally misgenders other transgender content creators constantly.

It seems like the inciting incident for all of these YouTube and Nebula content creators to go after him was James' application to become a Nebula content creator. I suppose they started gathering evidence to provide against his membership and they ended up finding so much that they created these videos and levied formal accusations.

Here's a slightly more in-depth read from Wikitubia for anyone interested in reading further: https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/James_Somerton#Controversies

Garak is a Bashir-sexual and Keiko is not Bashir enough for him.

Thanks! :)

ShaunaTheDead, to risa in Is this right? Not a Star Trek fan.
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

Avery would absolutely deliver that line exactly as you wrote it. His acting in DS9 is so delightfully unhinged, way over the top and campy, I love it!

I had to look this one up. Basically "awwtysm" sounds like "autism".

ShaunaTheDead, to piracy in Tutorial for docker selfhost of sonarr and *Arr family
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

Ezarr is a pretty great little project for getting started. Just clone the repo and follow the README and it should just be plug and play.

It means "if you are able to stop safely, you MUST STOP. Otherwise, you must go through the light quickly".

ShaunaTheDead, to lemmyshitpost in Remember when this was on TV every year?
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

I'm so tired of people thinking that nihilism (Nietzsche's main philosophy for those unaware) is depressing. It's not at all, it's actually very hopeful and liberating. Nihilism can basically be boiled down to "nothing matters" which sounds depressing, but what it really means is that "nobody can tell you what matters from your perspective, only you can decide what matters to you". It was considered depressing and was railed against by the public at the time because it goes against religious teaching which tells you that religion matters objectively and unquestioningly.

It's extremely liberating even today despite religion not having a choke hold on society as much as it did during Nietsche's time. It's liberating because if what truly matters to you is shitposting on Lemmy, then that's great! Go live your most meaningful existence! Enjoy yourself and be proud of your accomplishments in that field! You choose your own worldview and what matters to you, and that's obviously a very a positive thing, it's not depressing or morose or narrow-minded and I'm tired of people just boiling it down to "Nihilism is for depressed people".

It makes sense to either go general to specific or specific to general. MM-DD-YYYY is neither.

ShaunaTheDead, to historyporn in Cavalry of Nazi Germany training to fire from horseback, 1935?
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

Oh god... Imagine the horse bolting after hearing the gunshot and you're falling from your own height plus the height of the horse. I bet a lot of necks were broken from this experiment before they cancelled it.
