Working in tech in various fields for few years now. Developed multiple Web apps, GUI apps and games in different programming languages. Re-winded half of the video thinking "is this guy started speaking alien language ?". My understanding of doing THE THING here is somewhere between: "cool , so this guy created a protocol for 2 pc-s to use" to a "is this guy creating operating system for his browser ?". And I don't even think this is called programming , you elevated that word to "hacking a scripting language to keep html files hostage in my shell." Nice work man.

[@johnsmith8981]

" Hacking a scripting language to keep HTML files hostage in my shell" is such a perfect description of this 😂

Oh no. Bash pretty much works the same as assembly in the sense, but in bash you call more than just system calls and EVERY. SINGLE. LINE. has to be run through the bash shell. I am impressed, but you have still ruined my day. Subscribed!

> using netcat do you even bash bro, you're supposed to use bash's builtin networking sockets, immediately unsubbed from this amateur (jk) (yes, /dev/tcp stuff only works in client-mode, I know, sadly)

[@icitry]

I already pleaded for forgiveness from the Bash Gods, please don't summon Them back here

[@igstan]

@@icitry folks... may I tempt you into looking at BASH_LOADABLES_PATH and the `enable` builtin?😈In newer versions of Bash, there's a stock `accept` builtin/plugin with which you can open a TCP server connection in listen mode. So, yes, netcat is not needed.

[@JayLooney]

@@icitry If for some reason you actually don’t mind summoning them again, I think you could use systemd.socket or xinetd. Might be an architectural change too since I think xinetd anyway launches a process per inbound connection. I’m not sure about systemd.socket though, it might have fancier controls

The main problem with using bash is security. You can pass inout from a website directly to a bash script but you better be damn sure your inputs are perfectly sanitize or youll be wide open to command injection. Bash may be all you need but from a security perspective you definitely don't want to be passing inputs directly from the web into your terminal 🤣 Still a great project though, if you weren't before you'd be a bash expert by now. This is a great project for people interested in cybersecurity.

How can i be like you without a CS Degree youre so cool man! For HTTP severs i only knew how to set it up using express. Here you created your own. Please tell me how can i learn all this. Ik there are plenty of tutorials and stufd but is there a systematic way to learn all this?

[@icitry]

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to write this. I guess I'll go straight to the point, which unfortunately is that I don't really have a definite idea to give you. What I personally did was look out for projects/ideas, as wild as possible, think about the steps/components I needed to do them and only after that start looking at options for their implementations - this way I could dip my toes into varied technologies (and it also helped me get over that very common aversion to change). Ofc always start small and then scale upwards, and this applies to everything, from the level of the projects to the implementation details. Oh yeah, and don't get stuck in tutorial hell, I've always found documentation or the source code to be the best learning tool when used as you develop your own stuff. Also, copy, "steal", learn from others, but never compare yourself to them, no need to get discouraged by someone who has years of experience over you.

[@ave_ishere]

@@icitry thank you so much. I'll screenshot your comment here so that every time I get demotivated or get stuck somewhere I'll just look at your reply. Thank you for boosting my confidence!.

[@icitry]

@@ave_ishere That's lovely to hear, I'm really glad I could be of help! But concerning the second part, I have no experience with programming on a mobile phone, so I can't really give any advice on that, but you may find help in Reddit communities or specialty forums.
