The Bridge

1:22 AM

Started playing Death Stranding. really a bitch move at the 3rd delivery location to have a bike there, you can load stuff on it but you can't ride it because you need to give it a jump start and i don't know how yet and i want the bike to start transporting some of the packages i've been stashing away....and also to loot MULE post boxes

it's like teasing me going "you could make more deliveries with this but you can't. no go make a bridge which would be even more perfect for this in the meantime"

@Sterno I feel really out of the loop that I'm not playing this. 5 friends playing it right now, and 18 friends own it.

but also yeah, our site doesn't get nearly as much traffic as it used to. I think Reddit plays a large role in that. It's grown a LOT over the years, and every game winds up having a dedicated subreddit to it.

If nothing else it just means whatever question you have has already been answered over on reddit most likely. I do find the quality we get here tends to be better, but it's most certainly slower.

Not sure about valheim specifically, but a lot of games I don’t get because I don’t really have a dedicated group to play things with. And if it’s single player, I just wait till it eventually goes on sale if I pick it up

This would be so much fun with other people to play with

I've heard very good things about that.

SaintWacko

The gameplay is excellent

And the sailing is very accurate

I am currently tacking my way back home

Very inefficiently, I might add, because the bloody wind keeps shifting

Ugh, I hate imgur so much

Morning.

Just wondering.

A couple months after the original release... do the rumors of the PS5 overheating problem settle/died out or it is still an open issue? Talking of stuff like this one

Some even argued that there are multiple subtlety different hardware revisions on the market (similar to the old DS launch day screen thing - smoth VS grain) but that seems total nonsense

Anyway, considering that maybe we will soon see some new decent-size ps5 stocks on sale (hopefully not stolen again by scalpers in 5 minutes)... just wondering if it is safe enough to buy.

Nzall

10:56 AM

@Derpy I don't see any recent reports of overheating, and it appears that most of the older reports of overheating stem from poor storage while in use

Derpy

That was my guess...

Yet you have reports like the one I linked too.

@Derpy it always seems to surprise people when i mention how big kfc is in china

like, it rivals mcd's for popularity in china

Derpy

One more reason for "Please Squaresoft give us these skins in the remake"

4 hours ago, by Derpy

@Yuuki anyway, afteral... Squaresoft had that FF7 "win a Tifa Ps4 theme with a code in a chocolate bar snack"....

Yuuki

actually, i wouldn't be surprised if kfc is bigger than mcd's in china

Derpy

@Yuuki Can't find much more: researchgate.net/publication/…

Tim Stone

Hong Kong McDonald's had McWings which were excellent

Hard to argue with fried chicken tbh

Derpy

anyway general claims from google seem to point that KFC is winning in China

Yuuki

western fast food chains do much better job of providing unique menu options in china, it's honestly disappointing that we don't get some of those choices stateside

Derpy

But I couldn't find anything definitive

Yuuki

like mcd's is currently offering a chili oil sundae/mcflurry

i suppose part of the reason is that they rebrand themselves as more of a middle-class sit-down restaurant as opposed to the cheap and fast option that they are in the states

Tim Stone

4:23 PM

They also did shake shake fries there which was great

Yuuki

because street food is super cheap and good in china, there's no way that mcd's and kfc would be able to compete with street vendors on price and convenience

Private Pansy

@Yuuki It's more because that is what fast food restaurants entered the market as, and are probably still. They're not the cheapest options when it comes to eating out

SaintWacko

Anyone here good with bash?

I don't use it very often and am struggling with a weird issue

Tim Stone

Hmm?

SaintWacko

#!/bin/sh
SERVERS=$(aws ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[*].Instances[].{dns:PublicDnsName,name:Tags[?Key=='Name']| [0].Value}")
for SERVER in "$(echo "${SERVERS}" | jq '.[]')"
do
        IP=$(echo "${SERVER}" | jq '.dns')
        NAME=$(echo "${SERVER}" | jq '.name')
        printf '%s - %s' "$NAME" "$IP"
done

So I'm trying to run that. Just for testing purposes, the idea is that it'll print out each name/ip pair

But instead it's printing out like this:

"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-production"
"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-staging"
"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-staging"
"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-staging"
"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-production"
"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-staging"
"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-production"
"remote-dev-host"
"ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-production" - "snipped ip address"
"snipped ip address"
"snipped ip address"
"snipped ip address"
"snipped ip address"

Except all the ip addresses rather than just five lol

For some reason it's echoing each NAME, then on the last NAME it actually formats it with, presumably, the first IP, then prints out the other IPs

MBraedley

what does $SERVER look like?

SaintWacko

And I don't understand why

   {
        "dns": "snipped ip address",
        "name": "ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-production"
    }

MBraedley

4:49 PM

And that's it?

SaintWacko

That's each $SERVER

$SERVERS is a list of those

MBraedley

I would try outputting everything first in the for loop to make sure each entry matches what you expect.

also, I take it jq is a JSON query command?

SaintWacko

Yeah

And just had it do that, everything looks right

MBraedley

Can you change the printf to echo?

SaintWacko

{
  "dns": "snipped ip address",
  "name": "ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-production"
}
{
  "dns": "snipped ip address",
  "name": "ECS Instance - EC2ContainerService-staging"
}

etc

@MBraedley That's what I had at first and it did the same thing

echo "$NAME - $IP"

Tim Stone

4:54 PM

Does for SERVER in "$(echo "${SERVERS}" | jq --compact-output '.[]') fix it?

SaintWacko

Nope, looks the same

Tim Stone

    AMI_IDS=$(aws ec2 describe-images --region "us-east-1" --owners self --filters "Name=tag:Commit,Values=${blah}" --query 'Images[*].{ID:ImageId,Name:Name}' | jq --compact-output '.[]')

    while read -r instance; do
        id=$(echo "$instance" | jq --raw-output '.ID')
        name=$(echo "$instance" | jq --raw-output '.Name')
    done \<<< "$AMI_IDS"

I do this somewhere and it works out okay, so hm

SaintWacko

Hmmm

MBraedley

It seems like the array isn't getting built properly somewhere. Time for some debugging by ~~printf~~ echo

SaintWacko

Because yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I'm trying to do

Tim Stone

4:57 PM

It might be something with the for … in behaviour since it's just text with newlines, I'm not sure

SaintWacko

Trying to make it so when I log in to my computer, it gets the list of EC2 instances and auto-builds my ssh config

Let me try rewriting it to use your method

I'm getting a "Syntax error: word unexpected" on the last line...

Tim Stone

Oh, probably remove the `\`, sorry

That's from it being inside another configuration file

SaintWacko

I tried that and it changed to Syntax error: redirection unexpected lol

Tim Stone

🤔

Hmm, lol

SaintWacko

Oh

Helps if I use bash instead of sh

Tim Stone

5:03 PM

Minor details 😉

SaintWacko

Huh, well that works

Guess I'll stick with your way of doing it

Thanks!

@TimStone Could it have been related to the brackets around the variable name?

The echo "${SERVER}"

I'm not sure what the point of them is, they were part of an example

Hm, putting them back doesn't seem to affect this method, though

/shrug

Tim Stone

Ah, right, so in bash for … in <string> will split on any default field separator, which is spaces, newlines, etc

So jq is just getting all sorts of random stuff in which it may or may not parse correctly

(which is why the often-used for file in $(ls) construct is unsafe, because file names can contain spaces, etc.)
