Wget, Vim and The Bash Insulter

I recently came across a script called Bash Insulter. It chooses a random insult every time you enter a wrong command. It's a nice, simple script. So let's hack on it a little.

How about Kamikaze Linux that rm -rf / when you mistype a command? Edit: Suicide Linux

[@GrumpyCrash]

*rm -rf /* wont work as expected because *--no-preserve-root* is default. You have to use *rm -rf --no-preserve-root /*

[@idle-hands]

@@GrumpyCrash or sudo rm -rf /*

As a lifelong Lutheran and an new-to-the-fold Linux user, this was gold! Thank you.

[@KevinBReynolds]

Very cool video. Packed with info. Very potent. I'll have to go over it a couple of times to make sure I got it all right but, that was great. Thanks Derek!

[@mathisgauthey01]

Hey there, I can't find a way to make it insult everytime and not only half... Removing the if isn't working and I don't know anything about bash nor do I have the time to accord it 2 more hours. Any help ?

Video idea: viewing images and watching video in a linux tty, without any Xorg/Wayland

[@komolunanole8697]

@Learn Linux Doubtful. Some programs can draw directly to the screen without an X server

[@keiichiiownsu12]

@Learn Linux Exactly. mpv and mplayer can play directly to the frame buffer. mpv --vo=drm mplayer -vo drm If you want fullscreen for mplayer, you have to 1>/dev/null and 2>/dev/null

[@keiichiiownsu12]

@Learn Linux A few other fbdev programs: fbi: can view images in console jfbviewer: fbdev PDF viewer with "VIM-like" syntax

[@billchatfield3064]

The Lutherian insults were a great idea. Luther was a better insulter than Shakespeare. Is there a reason why you don't use gvim instead of vim?

[@KarlMySuitcase]

I think you should have 12 year old's on Xbox Live insults.

[@insanerwayner]

ctrl+v and shift+i then type your changes and escape will do the same as the “ctrl+v then : norm I “ method

Why a script? Create a cookie-file for fortune(6) and use *trap "eval fortune cookie-file" ERR* for bash or *TRAPZERR() { fortune cookie-file }* for zsh.

[@damian_madmansnest]

Your kung-fu is formidable, sir.

[@GrumpyCrash]

@Learn Linux Nope. *eval* is necessary. Otherwise there's always the same cookie displayed.

[@chri87d9]

You don't have to edit out the text editing in vim, it's pretty cool to watch. Imo. Great video.

[@hUmAnWiThOpInIoNs]

So true

I concur.

[@linuxrant]

yeah, actually seeing the command twice in different situation is very good for learning.

[@kraftwerk28]

Now i learned how to use vim macro. Thanks, DT!

[@thescrawl6594]

you can speed this up immensely if you have something like w3m installed. doing "w3m -dump example.com > file" will pipe a plaintext version of the page with no html tags or padding.

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Derek. This can be fun but I became disinterested in it after a few days.

[@dkosmari]

May I suggest: xmllint --html --xpath "//td[2]" insult-list.php > insults.txt After that, it's a matter of replacing "" and "" by quotes, and replace stray "" by some fancy escape sequences (or just delete them.)

[@joaofnds]

"//tr/td[2]/text()"

[@dkosmari]

@@joaofnds Keeping the tags make it easier to replace by quotes. Also, "/text()" will mess up when there's a "" element in the text.

[@joaofnds]

@@dkosmari xmllint --html --shell insults.html

[@joaofnds]

Thanks for mentioning xmllint, I didn't knew about it. I always have to open a browser and use JS to get things out of html/xml

[@dkosmari]

@@joaofnds If you need to work with html, it's useful to learn some XPath and XSLT. You can do quite a bit of useful operations before you strip the structure out of the document.

Fucking Magic ! If you make a VIM course let me know. I would buy it

[@lsatenstein]

Why I turn away from many Linux channels I like presenters who understand the use of "dead air". I watch this channel today and whenever there is a topic of interest to me. That said, when editing is done for the next day's presentation, please think of you video as a book with sub-topic chapters, and paragraphs. It is not necessary to read-aloud, text that we can read on our own. When the editing has no pauses to let me absorb what was presented, before the author presents the next topic, wow. Did the author breathe in-between? Would a one second pause between major topics be OK, with 1/2 second between "paragraphs"? I have a list of 20 presenters who are afraid of slight pauses. I taught a class of students who knew nothing about the topic I was teaching. Because it was a classroom course, the pauses were quite welcome and long. With a video, a major subject change can improve a presentation if there is a one second delay from topic to topic. By the way, in teaching a class, it is done in three parts. "Today I am going to tell you about xyz", Part2: Now I do the telling, and Part 3, This summary is about what I told you. By the way, I am posting my comment as a way to get, entertain/teach and maintain audiences

[@DJ_Cthulhu]

Quite like those Lutheran insults, will probably add them to my fortune files. I think Chaucer had some nice insults, too. 🤓

[@gizzmoguy.]

make a video how you theme vim so sweetly I know its Dracula theme but i don't know how to get it working in vim

[@yuvaldahan642]

The bar at the button is vim-airline/powerline

[@gizzmoguy.]

@@yuvaldahan642Thanks, but knowing what it is and knowing how to install it is two different things. 🤔

[@yuvaldahan642]

@@gizzmoguy. Read about the plugin manager vim-plug, it has a clear README and you can easily install vim-airline with it

[@gizzmoguy.]

@@yuvaldahan642 Yup trying it right now using Vundle still has not gotten it to working.......

[@dkosmari]

Another way to go about the arrays, is just leave them in the file, one per line, no quotes. Then use the "readarray/mapfile" command from Bash. readarray -t array2 < lutheran-insults.txt readarray -t array3 < shakespearean-insults.txt

[@birkner510]

You could have replaced the opening and closing tags at once with :%s//"/g

[@yakimura96]

Awesome, this gave me a lot of ideas to troll some friends, thanks for the vid!

[@taidee]

Great stuff DT, I only stumble on it now.

[@asleeponmykeyboard3039]

I love this community

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

hehehe. Good stuff. The OpenBSD sudo package will insult you _by default_ and the doas package, which many OpenBSD users prefer to sudo, also has some killer insults. And Gentoo has the infamous -offensive flag. 😈

[@webbonyoutube]

Didn't OpenBSD deprecate sudo?

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

webb yes! But some people (stubborn Linux users) install it anyway. Generally speaking, sudo shouldn’t be used on OpenBSD. doas is much much better!

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

webb Interestingly, using OpenBSD is a great way to learn to live _without_ sudo. It’s an old-school way of interacting with one’s computer that can also be applied to Linux. (Much like learning to live without a package manager, or at least learning to use a minimal one). PCLinuxOS, for example, is a distro that doesn’t come with sudo..... because it’s unnecessary :)

[@tiberiusmagnificuscaeser4929]

Iirc Debian doesn’t come with sudo by default either

[@ivanjermakov]

You could just copy all contents of the page through browser instead of editing page's source code.

[@AtomToast]

I can recommend looking into normal commands, they are incredibly powerful. For example you can do stuff like "delete every line not containing this pattern" with something like `:g! //d`. Then with normal vim magic like visual block mode you can remove the leading tags and spaces and then use something like `:%norm f

[@chaussebenjamin]

Suicide Linux is a distro that executes 'Sudo rm -rf /*’ when you get a command wrong.

[@stephenreaves3205]

Pandoc would be nice to get the webpage directly in markdown. Should make it easier to format

[@keedt]

I usually use "w3m -dump " to get rid of html tags

[@teknastyk]

i got super impressed wt the way you removed spaces in front of each sentence... Thats something i havent seen done in a payed text editor in almost 30yrs... Yes, you could find and replace certain amount of spaces in a notepad; but(!!!) Itd also replace the same amount of spaces in the space after each sentence so that might break your form(ating). So to see a cli editor do this its just wow - ive witnessed the force i guess
