I haven't written much recently. I haven't had much to write about,
honestly.
Recently I've been working on more scripting and enhancements for my
home network. I have too many PCs, most of which are laptops, but I've
been able to use my DLNA RPi as also a NAS device with core
components.
Since I last glogged, I...
-created a central bash profile and reworked how local bash profiles
operate
-fixed my helper script for Mplayer which should play all videos at
basically the correct aspect ratio (I know I can make a more elegant
solution)
-learned how to use bc because evidently bash was written when
fractions/decimals didn't exist
-made an even better way to automate my Handbrake queue files for
video encoding at reduced filesizes
-added a new MKVToolnix helper setting
-added a new file organization setting in my org.sh based on the first
"words" in a filename
-broke out more of my bash profile scripts into shell scripts so they
can be called by other programs like tmux or dwm (e.g. status.sh)
That's all for now. I'm really pleased with the Handbrake helper
script improvement as it's a MASSIVE time-saver when archiving videos
I like.
I'm hoping Ukraine keeps kicking around Russia. I (along with 99% of
the world) did not expect them to put up such a great fight.
