Rice Your Terminal With Fetch Master 6000

[@stevie1da_]

I think a big part of why the neofetch source code is so long is because of the ascii arts. I counted and averaged each ascii art to be about 20 lines. Neofetch has ascii art for 191 distros. This is equal to an estimated *3820* lines.

[@KSPAtlas]

@Mr. Rich B.O.B that would break interoperability. Say an arch user uploaded neofetch to the AUR. A Manjaro user downloads it and when they run it, they get the wrong distro.

[@leoneldangelo3593]

You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately :)

[@mohammedwilder3381]

@Leonel Dangelo yup, I have been using instaflixxer for months myself :D

[@laughingvampire7555]

the thing is that neofetch is not meant to be launched every time you open a shell session. If you just want bling for you shell, the best thing is to get from neofetch only the scripting parts that will get the data for you and the logo of your distro.

[@rformaths1407]

Hi I am Anhsirk0 (Author of fm6000) Thanks ! I was surprised to see it here The extra quote issue is fixed (via PR , thanks to mtwb47) I added the GPL-3 Licence Its just a small script , not mean to be replace any kind of fetch thats out there. A lot of people are scared of Perl. I think Perl is underrated/unpopular. I like Perl , it kinda feels like bash with wings. It goes good with shell and already available in every(mostly) Linux/Unix Distros Languages are just tools. I like the Dilbert TV Show and Kakoune text editor (which has a Dilbert assistant), So I got the Idea from there (also the ASCII art) Showing system info is just to show something along with it. Thanks for checking it out . means a lot

[@Gabifuertes]

Came here to say hi before this comment gets pinned!

[@detronbrian]

thank you for fm6000!

[@kendarr]

Loved the project bud, thanks for the clean code too, I'm not a programmer and could easily mod it to remove the little box and just show the info

[@chesterbelle]

ty bro im using it and love it

[@aiժeո]

it still didnt lol@@Gabifuertes

[@mikefdorst]

If anyone is curious, the name is a play on the Gruntmaster 6000 which was part of the (unfortunately short-lived) Dilbert TV show.

[@mattfromeurope]

I prefer freshfetch. Customized it to show my daily Bible quotes (yes, I‘m Christian), but you can essentially add anything. The default is a llama quoting fortune, if I remember correctly.

[@Dus3826]

Genesis 30:1-3 goes, “And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her”

"Oh that looks good!" BTW it's in Pearl. "I'm out"

[@jpgaminf7834]

@Ichigo Kurosaki same question

[@Chr0n0s38]

@Ichigo Kurosaki Well the language maintainers let their domain registration run out, so the site got taken over by hackers. That definitely doesn't help their cause. That issue aside, Perl is just not a pleasant language to work in. There are much cleaner languages that accomplish the same tasks, such as Python.

[@bogamol]

I just need someone to port asciiquarium to Rust and I will be 100% on board with no perl. 🙏

[@neverbetter5434]

@Ichigo Kurosaki Sorry it took me so long to reply. I am certainly not trying to disparage anyone's preference. The release of Perl 6 after years and years of waiting along with a pretty big culture change in sysadmins really impacted it's use. Perl was a strong choice for Linux admins before Y2k. The delay of Perl 6 really triggered an exodus to other options while hurting the trust users had in the maintainer. (So bad Perl 6 got rebranded as Raku). I know that some engineers are fond of it but, I personally dont want to look back at a language that has limited use cases.

[@q1fiend623]

Fetchmaster 6000 is a reference to the old Dilbert cartoon from 2000 or so. For several episodes they were tasked with building an exercise machine called the Gruntmaster 6000.

[@MsDuketown]

In the Javascript world Grunt also was the goto solution before gulp... together with jQuery all Javascript I ever used.

[@mangenshinobi1567]

by the way there is a way to customize neofetch throgh the config file of neofetch is possible to disable some informations or enable others like disk or ip or music

[@michi1743]

*-Pouring rice over my laptop-* Does this count as ricing?

[@Neucher]

Now that's really cool. If they could incorporate the ascii art it's basically a replacement for neofetch

[@itsgood3019]

Isn't it possible to put it in yourself. It looked that way.

[@marioschroers7318]

ASCII art in neofetch actually has a dependency, it's called libcaca 😂

[@kendarr]

you can just point to a txt file with the art in it.

[@annalinneajohansson]

Anything with 6000 in the name must be good.

[@chrinaldi]

That video about Neofetch being bloat a year ago ages like fine wine after you show me this program. That being said, I'm going to try pfetch first.

[@SerHergen]

pfetch gang rise up

[@Not-THAT-ChrisPratt]

I've tweeked pfetch to include The local weather and moon phase, both from wttr.in. fun times.

[@sohn7767]

@Learn Linux in theory yes, but considering you would download like a couple of kb, there’s no difference

[@estevaomendes2305]

I tested here and despite being a little limited (it didn't detected my WM, login shell and OS automatically) it's very fast, simple and lightweight compared to neofetch/screenfetch. I liked a lot! Thanks for sharing it!

[@Mr.Finkel]

the right amount of bling is no bling

[@Pipeartist937]

I use fastfetch. Its very customizable and faster than Neofetch. If speed is more important, Macchina is blazing fast and has some different themes available for it. Fastfetch is written in C and Macchina is rust.

[@lqlarry]

The Fetch Master 6000 sounds like it is made by Benford Tools. Arg MORE POWER!

[@l00t_t00l]

Fetch Master 6000 is a great name & a cute program

[@gaetan3340]

Although I have neofetch installed for screenshot/video purposes to provide quick info, I never execute it and couldn’t care less for this non-sense. I customize my prompt and my terminal emulator’s colors. That’s it. ASCII art in the terminal is just wasted space (I would clean screen every time anyways)

[@devviz]

6:16 what keyboard shortcut did u use to open a new terminal to the left and the current one automatically aligns to the right? what distro are u running?

[@iblamefps]

Think it's his windowmanager, check out BSPWM, AwesomeWM, i3 etc

[@albynoson]

Um, why has no one mentioned screenfetch? It's 64 hundred lines long, and just like with neofetch, a lot of those lines are ASCII art for many distros.

[@mangenshinobi1567]

I just was looking for an alternative to neofetch then I found this video This is very beautiful fech I like it it remembered me lolcat because lolcat is colored thank you Sir I'm happy 😃 that i saw it

[@StrikerEureka85]

rice, rice, baby!

[@mattfromeurope]

Alright, Stop! git commit and listen!

[@kendarr]

That's pretty cool, it's a bit slow on my system tho, takes about a second to show up.

[@shazud]

most of those neofetch lines are distro ascii-art logos

[@fuwn]

Try rfetch, 45 lines. You can find it at Mangeshrex /rfetch on GitHub.

[@somnvm37]

At the end of the day, how can one not install a programm with 6000 in its name?

[@AmritSaroe]

Which fonts you are using darek?

[@cpcnw]

Hey DT - what's your wallpaper source in this one?

[@mjdxp5688]

Personally I use pfetch!

[@RaphaelJamesF]

pfetch gang

[@russellbrooks3622]

I just like the Gnome Dark or Tango Dark terminal theme, using the Xterm color theme. Doesn't really matter to me beyond that, although it's cool to see these alternative options.

[@aprameyanaganur2934]

Also afetch is pretty good as an alternative to neofetch

[@twb0109]

Nice one

[@Vlad-1986]

Good to know I can now login and be reminded which OS and WM, just in case I forgot after spending a long time installing and customizing it. Also, what' s wrong with fortune and cowsay?

[@VulcanOnWheels]

7:44 Why would you want it to have a license?

[@aneesh1701]

what terminal emulator/OS are you using?

[@arjunj5355]

Hey DT, why do you use GitLab instead of GitHub? Would you recommend it for a learning developer like me?

[@AbhinavKulshreshtha]

Mostly because Gitlab is fully open source while github never was. Github is now owned by Microsoft so in order to stay in good terms with govt, they are blindly implementing DMCA, like they did with youtube-dl and popcorn time. Gitlab does have dmca but they don't takedown your repos without having discussion first. I don't have any example of repo takedown on gitlab but if I remember their policy correctly, even if repo is marked for closure, owner is allowed to download repo so that they can look for alternative hosting. When github closed yt-dl weeks of work was lost because they didn't have all the branches on them. Most forks were few days old.

[@AbhinavKulshreshtha]

@AstroCat Yes, Committed to github. Then next morning, they found that repo has been closed, without warning, chance to explain yourself. Remember this is a large project with many maintainers and contributes and lots of branches. So every maintainers were stuck with whatever branch on whatever forked date they were on their local system. Most of time in such large scale project, maintainers Coordinate with community via github issues, manage project via github's inbuilt kanban board, Imagine the loss if the repo had not been restored. There is a blog by on of the maintainer, where he talked about these issues. Yes some people forked it into yt-dlc and other stuff, but how to get in touch with everyone and tell them to move their work there. And the loss of brand value all because of there were 2 links in comments, in an old test file, pointing to some songs.

[@arjunj5355]

@AstroCat So would you recommend GitHub or GitLab for developers?

[@elkolandia]

Not a rust written Freshfetch? I’m suprised ;)

[@mwenn8136]

Why would you want a bunch of junk taking up space in your terminal?

Have to agree with the neofetch assessment but have to disagree with the recommendation to use python lol

[@heroe1486]

using pfetch but a little change is fine, it becomes boring to see the same arch logo over and over again when opening a terminal. Also it seems to spawn a little bit faster than pfetch

[@dario3154]

For fetching stuff I'm using a ufetch | lolcat with a customized logo and customized params, I changed the packages with the editor and I removed the de section

the best fetch is no fetch at all.

Perl Script ... Easy to change the source code. May I interject for a moment and say: Nope. Don't get me wrong. Perl had it's time, but this time is long over and easier languages like python or ruby took it's place.

[@somethingintheway151]

Wouldn't recommend anyone to install scripts like this directly from source without been 100% sure of what you are doing and the risks involved.

[@martinhertz4957]

To each his own of course, but asci art at start of terminal opening, imho is almost as stupid as useless gaps in tilling VM. I'm probably strange though, e.g would never use a desktop background other than empty black. Thanks for vid regardless of-course :)
