@RebaRabbit a bash script is (in its simplest version) just a list of commands that’ll run when you execute that particular file

for example, if you create a file named hello.sh with the contents

#!/bin/bash
# ^ this is technically not mandatory, but it's here so the system actually uses the correct interpreter

echo "Hello world!"
curl wttr.in

and execute it with ./hello.sh (you might need to chmod +x ./hello.sh or use the file properties window in your file manager first to make it executable), it’ll print Hello world! and then weather at your location (as reported by a geoIP database)

you can do a lot more with those, but 90% of the time they’re just a simple list of commands

as for udev, it’s one of the subsystems responsible for handling external devices, it can set permissions, run commands or do several other things; you usually don’t really need to worry about it, and it shouldn’t be mandatory for this, but it can be useful to know

ten percent luck
twenty percent skill
fifteen percent concentrated power of will
five percent pleasure
ten percent pain
twenty-five percent reason to remember the name
five percent magnesium
two percent caesium wire
three percent mineral oil to prevent metal fire
one percent fats
point eight percent crab
one point three percent distilled essence of gab
point five percent perspiration
point four percent agony
one percent traces of elements such as antimony

@RebaRabbit

…I may have figured it out but I am peeved that I’ll have to copy paste the commands to set up all of those buttons every time I log in though U_U

I recommend just putting said commands in a bash script and just running that, and maybe you could even set it up to run at startup (or potentially you could mess with udev rules so it runs whenever the device gets connected)

(and yes, the new router does (probably) support openwrt, it’s an acer predator connect w6x and while it’s not directly mentioned in the openwrt wiki page, the other w6 models work and someone in the forums said that this one “should work”; the physical construction seems different, but I can figure it out)

so I got a new router for wireless PCVR use (the old one was a huawei with stupid firmware that captive portals everything to its admin page if it detects no connection ._.)

…and now that I’m not limited by the stupid fw, I could test out PCVR on linux with Envision (using wivrn) and wlx-overlay-s

I am happy to report that Shit Works

(arch linux, awesomewm on x11, tested with h3vr on GE-Proton9-5)

The ongoing death of Twitter, many people’s (entirely reasonable!) unwillingness to use the Fediverse, and Bluesky’s (much less excusable!) lack of locked accounts sure make venting online about things of a personal or private nature a bit difficult, lmao.

… …hopefully, our efforts here will, in the medium term, result in something that’s at least as good for that use case as Cohost was. I’m really hoping we can turn this into something that’s, like, at least “thousands of people” kind of serious, but in a way that’s sustainable.

We are supposed to be a democracy, but our mass media has been almost criminal in neglecting the real controversies of our time, preferring instead a mundane sort of pap which ultimately is more dangerous than any opinion because it only serves to stifle thought. In the atomic age, the last thing we can afford is a powerful, thoughtless, and sheeplike “democracy.”

@Sacchihikaru I maintain that a “furry” payment processor (and all that entails) would be one of the most positive changes to modern society.

@RebaRabbit there’s a name for that “social gravity” phenomenon you’re describing in case you wanna search it up, it’s called the network effect, and it is definitely A Problem for alternative platforms

Resident Evil? You mean landlords?

@spdx_wl I did pick it up today (well, actually a few days ago, but I didn’t have a chance to play until now), and it is definitely good

thanks to a helpful fediverse post that shared a blogpost teaching how to run godot games natively on mac I might decide to buy Webfishing. what a relief. it's been upsetting me as a proud fishing fanatic to be UNABLE to play a good fishing game. now I can correct this grievous error.
