A lot of really cool stuff here in this blog by @valpackett https://val.packett.cool/blog/podfox/

Automatic SOCKS proxy to services running in Podman.
Using Linuxbrew in different containers portably.
Some neat fish scripting.

I love the fish shell but not supporting the standard "export" command is challenging. I'm adjusting my dotfile.
#fishshell

IPCs are neat. I just used #mpv's JSON-IPC (https://mpv.io/manual/master/#json-ipc) to make myself a scrappy lil' "now playing" notifier daemon as a #fishshell script.

I've told myself I get a free pass when procrastinating with recreational coding if I share the results publicly so here y'all go.

There's now also a #Fish shell edition of my #tmux helper scripts:

felt like a change:

i really like catppuccin mocha, love the pastel colours. but my old eyes find it a little too low on contrast.

eldritch 'feels' similar, but with more vivid colours. enjoying the change so far.

Simplifying my fish shell configuration:
- bye bye omf
- fisher as plugin manager
- tide as prompt (just as a test for now, I want to compare it to pure or starship or any other)
- plugins list still empty, I need to look at want could be useful (suggestions welcomed)

@b0rk In a post about shell history recently, you mentioned something about #fishshell that sparked my curiousity. I've been using it and I just wanted to say thanks, it's delightful and perfect

@PseudoCube @WildPowerHammer @salt_komaru для меня posix shell — древнее хтоническое зло. Оно пытается дробить всё, что видит, на отдельные аргументы, а ещё там куча странного синтаксиса и дублирующегося функционала. В общем, мне просто не интересно в это лезть.

Fish же выглядит как оболочка здорового человека. Там более последовательный синтаксис. Я прочитал мануал, и сижу, кайфую. Если мне нужно реализовать какую-то идею для своего рабочего процесса, я либо прикручиваю это к neovim'у на lua, либо пишу на fish.

fish 4.0.2 is out, fixing some bugs

Ok, i am trying #Fish shell now for a week or two, in order to see whether I will abandon zsh! So far, great experience! #fishshell

Estoy probando #FishShell y he hecho esta tontería porque muchas veces ejecuto gst (git status) fuera de un repo sin darme cuenta. Está muy chuli :D

Benutze jetzt schon ein paar Tage #fishshell in Version 4 auf #solus und muss sagen:
Gefällt mir richtig gut! Die Autovervollständigung ist praktischer angezeigt als bei bash.

In einem git-verwalteten Ordner wird sogar der Branch angezeigt o.O

What is the correct way nowadays to set environment variables permanently in #fishshell? #Linux

Improvement on my high contrast fish vcs prompt
