  • I’m not very acquainted with any programming language so maybe I’m wrong here (or I didn’t get the joke? XD) but bash didn’t change much in the past few years, I even read some scripts more than 10 years still works because the syntax stays the same (or doesn’t change a lot …)

    Compared with the switch from python 2 -> python 3 I read a lot of people pulling their hair off xD


  • There’s always a security risk, however if you are referring to librewolf from the AUR I would say it’s “safe”?

    It has 160 votes and a popularity of 14.73* which means there’s a good chance someone more capable then we are, already looked at the PKGBUILD.

    That’s not a 100% proof of reliability but it’s a good pointer to a healthy AUR build.

    *The bin package has even more votes and popularity. It’s the recommended way, because the other package compiles from source and can take a long time !



  • Sorry to chip in and change subjet… But would you recommend that book for learning regular expressions as a non CS guy? I’m working more and more towards bash scripts and I run occasionally into the case where I need to write some regex and I’m getting frustrated not being able to do so and always ask for some help here on Lemmy.

    It really rough sometimes where simply using a regex tester isn’t enough to fill my use case.
