This would be cool if discord actually deleted any of your data

Trincapinones , to Privacy in Made Python program to delete messages from Discord

Why is it better that Undiscord? I've never used Undiscord, I'm just curious

user ,

No reason to use this insead of Undiscord.
Edit: Clear up missunderstanding.

Trincapinones ,

But why?

Aachen ,

From my understanding, Discord Search API is heavily rate-limited. If you have a lot lot of messages (say, removing ALL of your message history in ALL servers) then this would theoretically be faster.

most popular fork - hyfetch

Finally it's official. I think it's a good move to make it an archived repository, so everyone knows for a fact this is not developed anymore. That means bugs or security issues are no longer actively searched and corrected. I wonder if this program will be taken out from distribution repositories now. My personal alternative is fastfetch .

Edit: ... oh, I didn't realize all of his repositories are now archived. Not only neofetch: https://github.com/dylanaraps?tab=repositories

Hopefully the dev is doing well, and has luck with whatever he's doing now

Looking at the readme edit history: https://github.com/dylanaraps/dylanaraps/commits/master/

  1. First edit 3 years ago: Away till the New Year. Merry Christmas.
  2. Then next edit 10 month ago replacing that line with: On hiatus.
  3. Then next edit 4 days ago replacing that line with: Have taken up farming.

English is not my native language, and I don't understand what "Have taken up farming.", but I have my guesses. means. Normally I don't interpret such a situation, but it doesn't look good. Most contributions of the software is 3 years old, and only a few readme and link updates recently are made alongside making everything archived.

It means they aren't developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

moreeni , to Linux in Neofetch development discontinued, repository archived

Does it have to be developed further? Neofetch looks like a finished product.

Treeniks ,

according to the Asahi guy, it doesn't work correctly for ARM: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111018734178152229

I am utterly oblivious to how neofetch works, but it does seem to need updates to support newer tech.

On first sight yes, in reality: no.

there should be some kind of notification system whenever something goes unmaintained. ive used unmaintained software for way too long before finding out theres some fork.

Reawake9179 ,

As long as it works perfectly and it makes no security related headlines, i'm fine with running abandoned ware.

If something stops working it's time to find out the alternatives.

On arch's user repository, packages can get marked as out of date, unmaintained, and sometimes removed entirely.

@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

i didnt know that, is the user notified somehow?

@dessalines@lemmy.ml avatar

When you run pacman or one of the aur helpers, it'll tell you.

Fastfetch!

@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml avatar

Probably should be rewritten in a more secure language because it fetches important system data

leopold ,

nearly your entire system is written in C and you're worried about a simple fetch program

beeng , to Open Source in Neofetch development discontinued, repository archived

Where's the new rust version?

56_ ,
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

https://crates.io/search?q=neofetch brings up 21 versions to choose from (21 are actual neofetch clones). There is also a library to help you write even more of them.

Farming what though?

Grippler ,

He now runs a beet farm/B&B with his cousin.

ClockworkOtter ,

Sounds like a nice life? I don't have much idea what beet farming is like...

Software which achieved no actual purpose discontinued. Open source community in tears.

unterzicht , to Linux in Neofetch development discontinued, repository archived

I don't understand the fascination with a program that tells you what kind of system you're using. I'm not trolling. Can someone enlighten me on its usefulness beyond "yep, that's what my system looks like"?

ShittyBeatlesFCPres ,

I install it on servers and put it in my bash profile so it runs when I SSH in or open a new terminal tab. Mostly just as a safety thing. It’s basically a reminder to double check I’m on the correct machine/tab before I run any commands.

Anarchistcowboy ,

This is my use case as well i run neofetch on ssh connect and disconnect so I always have a visual indicator of what machine I'm in.

unterzicht ,

That seems pretty useful, actually.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres ,

It doesn’t have to be neofetch but even in my containers and docker stuff, I try to put a little message so I don’t fuck up something.

Running through a checklist is important. I learned that from a helicopter pilot at a bar but I do think it’s true in our field. It’s not life or death on a server but training yourself to go through a simple checklist (even if it’s just “make sure this is the right terminal tab”) is good advice.

Oh no, what will all the Arch users do?

Is there a neoneofetch?

Neofetch reloaded. followed by neofetch revolutions.
