Looks like Kyle was busy last night with some dynamic elements + a tips file.

j0rgeOP•1/28/24, 2:32 PM

Some ideas from last night:

j0rgeOP•1/28/24, 2:32 PM

- show a warning when image date > 30 days

j0rgeOP•1/28/24, 2:33 PM

And then the tips thing will allow us to dynamically build a collection of built in useful stuff

j0rgeOP•1/28/24, 2:34 PM

I was thinking it might be annoying to show it on every terminal open since I go through a ton a day, maybe a setting showing it only it's changed so we don't get too spammy

bsherman•1/28/24, 3:49 PM

Sorry If it wasn’t clear, the thing I built for config only displays a static user-motd

bsherman•1/28/24, 3:51 PM

But. Maybe we should change the hard coded path to display to be something in /etc (eg, /etc/user-motd) then the stock (from config) script will always work and stuff like @Kyle Gospo did for dynamic tips can run from a second script and overwrite the user-motd file

no opinions on design other than we should think about tips. Like should we have them in config so that they hit everybody and the bazzifin add theirs on top or do we leave them decoupled?

j0rgeOP•1/28/24, 4:04 PM

I'm kind of leaning towards keeping them seperate so it's more targetted to each user story but also see the value of having one place in config to do like "warning: there are major shifts happening to foo, check this link" if we ever need it. For things like say, the

Kyle Gospo•1/28/24, 4:04 PM

I made the folder generic and the file it picks out of it is at random

Kyle Gospo•1/28/24, 4:04 PM

That way you can continue stacking on more tips as your images get more complicated

Kyle Gospo•1/28/24, 4:05 PM

So a base tip file totally makes sense

j0rgeOP•1/28/24, 4:05 PM

man this turned out so good.

bsherman•1/29/24, 12:34 AM

So… why aren’t we just using the coreos utility if we are reinventing the same thing?

bsherman•1/29/24, 12:35 AM

And apologies for not being more in touch with this today. A lot of family stuff.

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:42 AM

no worries

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:42 AM

it was actually way more complicated once bob looked into it

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:43 AM

and it accounts for like, sshing in or not, etc.

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:43 AM

and ubuntu's was messier

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:44 AM

so it was just like "can we just cat/glow a markdown file?"

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:45 AM

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:45 AM

Worth it.

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:45 AM

SO WORTH IT.

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:46 AM

@Kyle Gospo lmk when yours is ready and we'll start a thread

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:46 AM

(in the forum)

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 12:46 AM

or feel free to kick it off

Jj0rge @Kyle Gospo lmk when yours is ready and we'll start a thread

Kyle Gospo•1/29/24, 12:48 AM

It's live

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 1:42 AM

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 1:42 AM

on a fresh vm, interesting

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 1:50 AM

brian did a fresh install and got the real one. I'm just an unreproducable mess today

Jj0rge brian did a fresh install and got the real one. I'm just an unreproducable mess ...

Kyle Gospo•1/29/24, 2:00 AM

"skill issue"

Kyle Gospo•1/29/24, 2:00 AM

Weird though, do you have a tips file?

Kyle Gospo•1/29/24, 2:01 AM

Should be able to pick apart the shell script

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 2:23 AM

it's ok I'm not sweating it, it'll be easier to find all this when the installer is ready

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 2:23 AM

actually ...

bsherman•1/29/24, 3:37 AM

my email blew up with commits today "thanks Kyle?"

bsherman•1/29/24, 3:38 AM

in the end, i still haven't seen the final code in bluefin/bazzite... i'm confused if what i built in config was wrong or what?

@j0rge @Kyle Gospo

bsherman•1/29/24, 3:38 AM

and just dealing with more family drama... so not a lot of energy to look at this stuff today

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 3:47 AM

don't even sweat it

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 3:47 AM

we're in chat if you wanna hang tho

Bbsherman in the end, i still haven't seen the final code in bluefin/bazzite... i'm confus...

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 4:54 AM

Kyle explained to me that we just slap on top of what's in config, so yeah, we needed that.

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 4:54 AM

M V P

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 4:55 AM

that was a cool "weekend project" that's basically done and these tips are gonna be awesome

Bbsherman in the end, i still haven't seen the final code in bluefin/bazzite... i'm confus...

Kyle Gospo•1/29/24, 4:56 AM

Still using your base, everything I've done was just markdown formatting

Kyle Gospo•1/29/24, 4:56 AM

Much appreciated

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 4:57 AM

and each opening offers a new tip, and we can use markdown in the tips file

j0rgeOP•1/29/24, 4:57 AM

so like, we can put all sorts of links to docs in there
