Working fine for me :)

I've got a couple of suggestions if you're accepting though:

  • Swap the available/used values in RAM and Swap so that used comes first (e.g. RAM (available/used): 1.2GiB / 8GiB. Putting the "used" value first makes it more intuitive.
  • Maybe detect if the output is a file (rather than the console), and if so remove the colouring from the output and omit the screenshot?
    For example:
    karl@PHOBOS (~) -> haggis-stats > output.txt
    karl@PHOBOS (~) -> cat output.txt
    <output>
    karl@PHOBOS (~) -> |
  • Use environment variables to determine where to save the screenshot. For example setting "export HAGGIS_STATS_SCREENSHOT_DIR="~/Pictures/Screenshots" should force screenshots to be saved in that directory, rather than in my current working directory.
  • Use an environment variable to specify the default action of the script. For example setting "export HAGGIS_STATS_DISABLE_SCREENSHOT=1" in my .zshrc should stop the script from screenshotting by default.

And that is one reason that you're an m.v.c. and one reason why I switched from Fedora to Debian lol You'e done a great job in the Linux section :)

 

Exactly why I even tried Debian was from seeing how much help xorangeman/Karl helped here in these forums! :)

 

Him alone, is way better than that crap Ubuntu forum and I've never had any luck with any derivative of Ubuntu anyway either.

 

Used to like Zenwalk a whole lot but as usual, simply tired of switching from Windows to Linux. Still use Windows mainly but have Wheezy on 2 machines that haven't gotten screwed up since installing over a year ago! I've never had a Linux distro last that long that didn't get messed up some way simply by an update of some type.

 

Might even have to give this script a try just to have something new to play with!!

 

Thanks guys :)

hey

 

working my way through this

 

Switched the Used and Total

 

also tried the display with no colors for files

 

file is at http://www.haggistech.co.uk/haggis-stats.pl

 

so could you try

haggis-stats file > /path/to/file.txt

is this what you meant?

ok

 

I have done

 

  • Swap the available/used values in RAM and Swap so that used comes first (e.g. RAM (available/used): 1.2GiB / 8GiB. Putting the "used" value first makes it more intuitive.
  • Maybe detect if the output is a file (rather than the console), and if so remove the colouring from the output and omit the screenshot?
  • Use environment variables to determine where to save the screenshot. For example setting "export HAGGIS_STATS_SCREENSHOT_DIR="~/Pictures/Screenshots" should force screenshots to be saved in that directory, rather than in my current working directory.

anyone willing to test for me?

 

Link below please report back here

Hey dude, I'll give it a try this weekend hopefully. I'm stuck in the middle of a tight deadline so I've literally been going between my bed and the office.

Finally got around to checking this stuff out last night. Looks good! Everything seems to work fine. My only comment is that it seems a bit unecessary to have to do this...

haggis-stats file > output.txt

... when you can detect automatically whether or not output is being redirected to a file, allowing you to simply do this ...

haggis-stats > output.txt

Otherwise, it all looks sweet :)

thanks i will look at that

 

still learning perl so bear with me

 

Please don't take my comment as a downer, you've done a great job with this. Just let me know when you're ready to do a release and I'll update the Arch AUR package :)

woooooo managed to do the output one

would anyone like to test

http://www.haggistech.co.uk/stats/haggis-stats_2.2.1_all.deb


so you can now do

haggis-stats > output.txt

    • MIT's stunning 'bubble wrap' device squeezes water out from thin air even in deserts by Sayan Sen Image by Matteo Roman via Pexels Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineers have built a new kind of device that can pull clean drinking water straight out of the air—no electricity needed. It’s designed for areas where water is scarce and traditional sources like rivers or lakes aren’t reliable. Right now, more than 2.2 billion people globally don’t have access to safe drinking water. In the United States alone, 46 million face water insecurity, with either no running water or water that’s not safe to drink. This new device, called an Atmospheric Water Harvesting Window (AWHW), uses a unique hydrogel panel that looks like black bubble wrap. These dome-shaped bubbles soak up water vapor from the air, especially at night when humidity is higher. During the day, sunlight makes the vapor inside evaporate. That vapor then condenses on a glass surface and drips down through a tube, turning into drinkable water. The AWHW doesn’t rely on power sources like batteries or solar panels. It’s completely passive, meaning it works on its own. The team tested a meter-sized panel in Death Valley, California, one of the driest places in North America, and got between 57.0 and 161.5 milliliters of water per day even with humidity as low as 21 percent. That’s more than what other similar passive devices have managed. “We have built a meter-scale device that we hope to deploy in resource-limited regions, where even a solar cell is not very accessible,” said Xuanhe Zhao, a professor at MIT. “It’s a test of feasibility in scaling up this water harvesting technology. Now people can build it even larger, or make it into parallel panels, to supply drinking water to people and achieve real impact.” Another cool part of the design is how they kept the water safe to drink. Usually, these kinds of hydrogels use salts like lithium chloride to absorb more vapor but that can lead to salt leaking into the water, which isn’t ideal. To solve this, MIT’s team mixed in glycerol, a compound that helps keep salt locked inside the gel. In testing, the lithium ion concentration in the harvested water stayed below 0.06 ppm (parts per million), which is way below the safe limit. The hydrogel domes also give the material more surface area, letting it collect more vapor. The outer glass panel is coated with a special polymer film that helps cool the glass, making it easier for vapor to condense. “This is just a proof-of-concept design, and there are a lot of things we can optimize,” said lead author Chang Liu, now a professor at the National University of Singapore. “For instance, we could have a multipanel design. And we’re working on a next generation of the material to further improve its intrinsic properties.” Published in Nature Water, the study says the AWHW could last at least a year and shows promise for making safe, sustainable water in places with harsh climates. The researchers believe an array of vertical panels could one day supply water to individual households, especially in remote or off-grid locations.

    • Clear Linux is open source, indeed, so its source code is available for anyone. They're just shutting down its support from them, they're not forbidding anyone else from taking over.
    • Linux Mint is also my favorite distro, but I fear what will happen with it if Clem were to disappear tomorrow, to be honest.
