HERE IS YOUR #bash history #recap / #rewind / #year_in_review !!!

grep -v "^[[:space:]]*#" ~/.bash_history |sed -E 's/^ *(sudo|doas) *//g' |awk '{print $1}' |sort |uniq -c |sort -n |tail -n $((LINES-2))

Example from this laptop:

 54 updateall
57 nsxiv
58 pipx
63 pkg_info
73 tail
92 git
106 ssh
109 w3m
110 less
127 echo
138 type
194 searchall
214 grep
225 ststatus
275 duck
286 ll
292 vi
341 man
433 cd
453 ls

(Of course, it's not strictly a YEAR in review. Bash can timestamp the history, but most people don't have that turned on by default)

Does anyone knows good way to find #gig opportunity for software dev? I'd like to avoid pitfalls of well known platforms. I can do:
- #Rust CLI/Dev tools, APIs
- #C code ( #FreeRTOS, #Zephyr, #Linux including some #drivers or #v4l2)
- #Cpp C++ code
- #Bash or #Python scripts, tools
- #CI workflows (GitHub, GitLab)
- #Yocto layers
- #Debian packaging + #DKMS

Anyone has experience in getting hands on small projects?

Edit: I can #teach / #training Rust or C++.

🥳 New Kitten Release

• Reduces minimum Bash version requirement for installing Kitten to Bash 3.2+ (was previously Bash 5+). This removes the requirement for people on macOS to upgrade the ancient version of Bash that Apple ships with their desktop operating system. (If you’re on Linux none of this was ever an issue for you.)¹

• Updates runtime to Node 24.12.0, the latest long-term support (LTS) version.

https://kitten.small-web.org

¹ While it’s easy enough to update your version of Bash on macOS using Homebrew, that only works (as we discovered on Friday https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115706233541301655) if you’re running one of the latest three versions of macOS and thus excludes people with perfectly functional older computers. (Don’t get me started on why Apple ships an ancient version of Bash as we’ll go down the rabbit hole of open as in “open for business” vs “free as in freedom” and corporate capture and how capitalism will happily be the end of us if we let it. Aren’t you glad you didn’t get me started?) ;)

I still want to work on a huuuge shell alias list so I can turn my terminal experience to #German.

Here's some great examples:

• cd -> wv (Wechsle Verzeichnis)
• mkdir -> rstvz (eRSTelle Verzeichnis)
• rm -> ef (Entferne)

Can't see anything going wrong.

Just finished writing another tool, now I can see NINE known compromised packages are still up for download on NPM! ⚠️

This tool crawls the list of known bad packages and downloads the latest bundle.

It then runs my other checks against the downloaded bundle and logs the results.

Tonight I wasn't in a mood to Dev. Nothing to do with the big crash of today (I was not impacted 😆).

No I was in a mood to ask for help, so I have written a blog post https://gitroot.dev/blog/how-to-help_en_11-2025.html

There are tasks for everyone from fixing typos to development in #golang #typescript or #rust and also for #sysadmin in #bash or #web #css

If you are ready to dev join the GitRoot channel in #matrix as explained in the article!

Please boost to get more help!
