@Thayne Honestly, I've no idea or even remember what code I was working on - that was in 2017

@EliahKagan You, too ! Happy New Year !

Ya'll be classy here

Alright , I'm out. I'll stop by some time again, but probably it'll be last one in a long while

Oh, that's good !!!

@Rinzwind still having sushi time to time ?

Been coding lately ?

I'm alright. Nothing particular.

how's everyone doing ?

Spent about 5 to 6 hours on it, and should probably get some rest now

OK, I'll go AFK too for now

Nice ! Congrats !

And sort of took a step back from it, too

Lol, yes, I still have that bug , too. For me it's kinda "wontfix, delayed" type of status. Busy with other things.

Oh, and if you have cellphone, there's free terminal apps for Android, ssh clients , etc. I used to have some of those. Fun stuff. Although can be challenging typing on touch screen. But bluetooth keyboard solves that problem

In future I want to get one for my own home. Save on power that way.

Also that ^ Solar panel lamp. Can be useful

Well, do what you can, if you cannot work in terminal just make notes in a notebook, and practice when you do have chance

Yeah, it's a little hard to do networking and computing without electric power ^_^

Have you played with tcpdump yet ?

That's a good one, and yes that is still something very useful ! I've been kinda learning about networking myself, and also plan to learn more about it this year.

I used to also like the smell of fireworks around that time

Depending on timezones, it is actually a new year in some places already.

Happy Incoming New Year !

@HenryWHHackv2.1.3 Hey, long time no see buddy !

sorry, can't help myself make bad jokes here and there :) At least it's not fish puns . . . Then I'd be having a whale of a time with those

Also . . . that pinned link to "nice" is very . . . nice . . . .

Yep. Which is why I didn't post it there, but couldn't find an alternative either

Yep, they are. I recall browsing through some of them

I guess I answered my own question. Not portable enough, -b flag in du is missing from specs

Also, I feel like there should be a code-review SE site, but for command-line stuff

Anyway, my curiosity has been satisfied. Thank you, Stephen !

So since POSIX is silent for that case , non-regular and no -r/-R flags, I'll leave reference to that off my answer

(For context, this answer askubuntu.com/a/698110/295286)

That's what I'd guess and initially added the O_TRUNC part to my answer, but then when I noticed the 4th part I was like wait a minute, something not right here

@StephenKitt Oh, d'oh. I knew I missed something. Thank you !

Oh, wait

MMmmm, popcorn

And for context, the /dev/null is supposed to be character crw-rw-rw- and according to POSIX definition if the source file type is not regular, dest_file should be created with the same file type. Unless I missed something, the nullfile.txt is supposed to be created as empty character device file as well.

Don't forget to put a try-catch block around that bus, though

Thank you !

Oh . . . So it does the same thing

There's some unPOSIXly shenanigans that I sense with GNU cp

@Kusalananda When you have a spare moment, do me a minor favor on your OpenBSD: post the output of cp /dev/null nullfile.txt ; ls -l nullfile.txt I've no BSD virtual machine ready and don't really want to download an iso just to test this
