@Fabby fixed the script , committed all changes to github and into the answer, verified with set -x that everything works, and changed couple parts. Let me know if there's any issues. Cheerios ! Thanks for Czeching out my script :D

hmm, also I think I've advanced a bit since the time I wrote that script. I think I'd probably approach this task quite differently if I had to do it now. Maybe could reduce it to a command or two only

wtf CW

Thomas Ward

@dessert There's two parts actually. One is virtualenv, but the other one is pyenv (which is more or less deprecated now)

I use pyenv to create local Python virtual environments as 'stock' versions of the given version, and then create a virtualenv for a given program with virtualenv and refer to the Python version installed by pyenv.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Also . . . kill syscall ? Really ? Didn't Apple grab base system from like early BSD release ? Does that also mean BSD's syscall implementation is affected ?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

no no no

I had ifconfig working

and suddenly it wasn't installed

Thomas Ward

don't touch autoremove :p

TheWanderer

autoremove didn't do it

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

IIRC ifconfig is slowly being phased out in favor of ip utils

ip addr, ip route

TheWanderer

how do you disable interfaces with ip?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

ip link set wlan0 down

it's got a lot of options

There's man ip-link on that

TheWanderer

3:05 AM

jesus

why is it so complex

chaskes

@andrew.46 Giving slack another go

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@TheWanderer Because complex is the new simple, and simple is the new complex. Just look at systemd

But granted, ip commands give a bit nicer output ( IMHO ) than ifconfig and iwconfig

$ ip -o -4 addr show wlan7 | awk '{print $4}'
10.70.2.204/22

much easier to parse with awk

@Videonauth I commented about your "impossible situation" in Raiders of the Lost Downboat before reading your comment here. The real duplicate question is this one: askubuntu.com/questions/656744/… which needs one more CV to close it. Closed already.

oh its done already, good then i can close those tabs

@Videonauth The question passed the preliminary stage of the review, and it was voted to remain open.

Wikipedia has this to say in the same article:

"Botulinum is the most acutely lethal toxin known, with an estimated human median lethal dose (LD50) of 1.3–2.1 ng/kg intravenously or intramuscularly and 10–13 ng/kg when inhaled."

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy I often tried that and never got it to work – seems like it doesn't. :(

@terdon well, from your comment it's supposed to be dir1="${file1%/*}"; but even if I store $1 to file1 variable it still breaks, what if "file1" contains filename from current working directory ? Also, directory name such as /etc/ would work because there's slashes, but there's to remove if it's in cwd

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Chazelas hits again – thanks!

terdon

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Yes, good point. That assumes absolute paths. I'm just thinking that if one of the files is on another filesystem, copying it to /tmp can take a long time. OK, how about:

Ah no. I was about to use readlink to get the full path but that would break on symlinks. It would copy the target, not the link.

I guess you have to use dirname.

Ah, but you'll still get problems if you don't have write access to the directory (that's why you're getting that error with mktemp). Damn.

And at least you're in Germany, so probably have a reasonable pension.

Videonauth

and since i cant change it i chosen to adapt

@terdon 378 euros ...

i call that just enough to not die, i still have to get subsidies for the rest

terdon

Oh. That's uhm, almost as low as Greece!

Videonauth

yep its almost nothing if you take the high prices for living in account

together with subsidies i have 806 euros, but 389 are rent, aournd 60 for electricity and about 60 for phone/mobile/internet

and then medicine which is not fully covered by health insurance

and every two years i have to get reevaluated for being pensioned, which costs them around 5-50k euros for the evaluation, that is far more than i get in the same time

makes sense or, does it?

It's not a bad idea. Imagine how irritating it is if you live in one timezone and work in another. So, during your commute, your wake up alarm on your phone goes off again. If it doesn't happen to you every day for a month, you have no idea how valuable setting the alarm/clock application to unadjusted UTC values is.
