Greetings List Lurkers, I have determined that our Digital Alien Overlords (DAO) do not want me to see the Aurora Borealis, as every evening here in Vermont is completely cloud covered...
How can I prepare for the Coronal Mass Ejection that will no doubt precede the axial precession, turning the earth 30 degrees, making Antarctica (ne Atlantis :^) an equatorial continent? The season is spring, and I am now outside rather than tied to my beloved Dell. Thus, I was most satisfied to get VisualBash "menubot.sh" operational. (http://docbox.flint.com:8081/visual.bash#menubot.sh). What this does is take a proposed help menu and constructs a VisualBash "FED" framework within which you concoct the functions necessary to get the job done. The program currently exists in draft form, a rewrite will arrive with more May showers. It has germinated an idea wherein we develop a searchable database of functions which could be added to any visualbash FED program, but more on that as time passes... Using menubot.sh we now have the beginning of the completion of the Zope2 backup and containerization project. The first VisualBash to come out of this "interpreter-interpreter" is a VisualBash script called Zope System Control (zsc.sh)... Beyond interesting interactions with the root user, this will in time be used for the management of the Zope2 system that DTG and I virtual-ized last month. you cannot imagine how gratifying it is to have finally made some progress, and it works on the productions web site! Once MMS (Monday Morning Syndrome) ends - say Tuesday, I will be back burnishing this to make even more of my life VisualBash script driven... This question remains; can I use Chat GPT to generate VisualBash scripts? I particularly want a shell generator that takes the menubot.sh result and based based upon the contents of the menu generates or queries and inserts the VisualBash Function slugs. Note that the Evaluator and the Dispatcher are now already created by menubot.sh. God and Dave-The-Geek help me... Now that I have mastered generation of VisualBash, I endeavor to revise the following script: lxcycl.sh - The LinuX Container CYCle (http://docbox.flint.com:8081/docker#LinxXContainercYCL) This is an attempt to encapsulate the tools you need to perform most docker based development. This kind of script is mostly to allow me to learn and retain my foo in docker development. I maintain that this script is necessary as my mastery of the "docker" noun-verb name-space waxes and wains as time goes on. This unworthy efforts is up on GitHub as I finished mercilessly editing lxcycl.sh. The concept is that the program once properly activated, will prompt you with the command line prior to executing it, thus allowing for you to painlessly learn the docker noun-verb name-space. This is a work in progress. ...But only after the completion of many Yard Ape duties that have piled up... Could this methodology empower our adventures into Home Assistant? I am not the first person to complain about the difficulty in provisioning Home Assistant. ...so more about these foolish ideas is available this Monday evening at 6 PM at the York Library. This all adds up to our centralizing and convocating at the York Branch Library this evening. That said, come in person or remotely and bring this and any other problems and questions and we will do our thing! This evening beyond the Library face-2-face & gizmo-2-gizmo, we shall use meet.jit.si/bosi to connect. Come on to meet.Jit.si/bosi at 6PM! Feel free to click the following link to join...
