haha i'm not a miracle worker... but you may like the little CLI wrapper I made for SMF for myself. it doesn't fix XML, but it at least makes listing services easy. `smf tail -f foo bar baz` is one of my favorite uses of it. github.com/bahamas10/sm...

i fear in my attempt to make a minimal illumos-based daemon supervisor... i'm really just recreating SMF lol. every question i unearth is just leading me back to "oh that's why they do it that way"

once i embraced the mentality of "i can make videos about whatever i want" and not chase metrics... i've paradoxically started getting the best metrics i've ever had lol. it's amazing. why would anyone do this in bash? idk. but it was fun. i love programming.

it’s unfortunately a rite of passage, mine is about 3” taller than my work bench next to it and it makes cutting a nightmare 😎

yo check out my latest youtube video if you wanna see me code a bandwidth monitor cli tool for linux (using /proc) in bash using builtins. no AI - i program on this channel exclusively for the love of the craft.

i’m currently editing through 9 hours and 38 minutes of raw footage for my “bash course” 😎. which will be available for $0 on youtube before EOY i also would absolutely love to teach bash classes 100%

3D cube created and rendered directly in the terminal… insane

woke up to checksum errors - is it possible i'm overthinking this and it's literally just a drive failure? lol.

the more i make thumbnails the more i just want to start making these for my job for check-in/standup meetings. “dave did what?! made progress on TICKET-123 AND unblocked TICKET-125?? gone wrong”

about 10 years ago i created a style guide for Bash scripts - how I write them, how I avoid pitfalls, my aesthetic preferences, etc. I now created a dedicated website for it that you can access on your browser or in your terminal - check it out! style.ysap.sh

i love zfs… but the flow of time is always cruel. deleting snapshots i’ll never touch from almost a decade ago. wild.

golang error checking goes hard in bash.

`./make-box` is a pure bash script (no external commands or dependencies) i'm working on to revamp my website (curl ysap.sh) - it's getting there!

finished up my simple stack trace library for bash - it's a single function inside a single file so it's super easy to use. github.com/bahamas10/ba...

`vardump` in Bash - I finally got around to cleaning up the source code and published it as its own library (a single bash function) - this is super useful for debugging and I've used for it years when writing bash. github.com/bahamas10/ba...

looking good! shoutout `nvmeadm` on illumos.

i love nagios for my home network so much. it’s not exactly critical - it noticed i was currently in the process of swapping out spinning disks for nvme drives! thanks to ZFS i can resilver the pool while its online and serving traffic. ZFS is the best filesystem ever i swear.
