FYI Neofetch dev already escaped the matrix.
Farming, really? A man of your talents?
That’s every software engineer’s endgame, better to get ahead of the game now 😤
Not a bad time to pick up subsistence farming if you have some land.
Fun fact! The Roman emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne after he stabilised the Roman empire after the Crisis of the Third Century. He retired to his villa in what is now Croatia to grow cabbages. This was an unprecedented move — typically an emperor served for the rest of their life and/or were violently overthrown. However, it took only a few years for the peace that Diocletian had established to begin to crumble into civil war again; when his friends and colleagues beseeched him to return to stabilise things, he was reported to have said “If only you knew the peace and tranquility I gain from tending and growing my cabbages, you would understand the impossibility of such a request!”[1][2]
I sincerely wish Dylan a life of as much peace and tranquility as the MVP ex-emperor Diocletian.
[1]: I don’t remember the source of this particular translation, but the original source for this is Epitome de Caesaribus 39.6
[2]: A different translation of the same line is “If you could show the cabbage that I planted with my own hands to your emperor, he definitely wouldn’t dare suggest that I replace the peace and happiness of this place with the storms of a never-satisfied greed.”. I prefer this one, because it makes it sound like he was disproportionately proud of his cabbages rather than just glad to be away from the shitstorm of Roman politics. However, the one I actually used fit the sentiment of my comment better.
n.b. I am not a Historian, just a scientist whose late best friend was a Historian, and thus I am morally obligated to use what he taught me to make shitposts.

You know, dirt cleans off a lot easier than blood, Quintus.
After you’ve dealt with enough end users, farming is glorious. And a lot more complicated than you would think.
It’s a peaceful life.
To be honest. Being a carpenter or someone who has an orchard seems amazing to me.
Bro is like thanos at the beginning of endgame.
For years I have been one foot into the engineer turned goose farmer meme, with the other foot left in my normal job.
It works alright! I don’t worry about work while at home in my suburban zoo, and when I’m at work I am not dying to get the hell out of there like I remember being several years ago.
I used to write bash scripts that probably should have been Python. Now I have 6 geese and other birds.
Sweet.
Mine are dogs, turtles, and fish.
I only have two dogs. I’m not quite sure how many cats there are But I think including the fosters are somewhere around a dozen. Sometimes it feels like my property is just a frog and toad sanctuary.
pywal, too? Wtf?
WAIT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ONE TRUE LOVE
neofetch???Got archived because it’s “feature complete” and won’t receive more updates, but some package managers removed it.
There is objectively better alternatives like fastfetch.
What’s objectively better is that the neofetch developer actually did what we all fantisize about. Maximum respect
Archived after years of inactivity, so it was somewhat predictable.
Hyfetch my beloved
If Linux users cared about what was objectively better, we would have a single distro instead of a thousand.
What is objectively better is actual choice.
Yes, I know that, I was making a joke.
Serious question: if something is “finished” why would that spark removal. At some point a lot of complete programs will no longer be actively maintained but they are still useful and working.
Also, is there a way to keep copies of things like this? I know how to install via apt install, and whatnot, but that relies on an internet connection and a repo. I’m used to windows where I can back up the installers on my hard drive.
Even if something is finished it’s a risk if no one looks after it since there’s always the possibility of security vulnerabilities, software is rarely truly done.
For Arch, packages are archived online for quite a while, you could still install neofetch via
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/neofetch/neofetch-7.1.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zstcurrently.Installed packages are also left in
/var/cache/pacman/pkguntil cleaned up manually and can be similarly installed from there. The one thing to look out for is whether the dependencies are still available and compatible since, unlike on Windows, packages don’t usually bundle their dependencies. For a closer experience in that regard there’s.AppImagewhich is a self-contained package similar to an.exe.
In Debian trixie:
$ apt search neofetch fastfetch/stable,unstable 2.40.4+dfsg-1 amd64 neofetch-like tool for fetching system information hyfetch/stable,stable,unstable,unstable 1.99.0-1.1 all Command-line Tool that Presents System Info linuxlogo/stable,unstable 6.01-0.1 amd64 Color ANSI System Logo neowofetch/stable,stable,unstable,unstable 1.99.0-1.1 all Shows Linux System Information with Distribution LogoLooks like you’ve got alternatives.
Fastfetch is a good replacement, but you can still install neofetch manually
It became a dozen slightly different clones.
It’s like everyone’s favorite “hello world” application.
Add to your .bashrc:
alias neofetch=fastfetchYou’re welcome :)
But they are using zsh.
.zshrc, then :)
Debian has fastfetch now. Neofetch is properly dead.
For all who may not realize, neofetch has a modern replacement: fastfetch
I believe in
fastfetchsupremacyWhaaaat??? So bummed to get bad news from memes
Check out fastfetch!
Or hyfetch if you’re based
What if I’m an acid
Oh no, it’s real - thankfully there seem to be alternatives, will be switching to fastfetch, I think
fastfetch -c neofetchForgive me, but doesn’t
yay -S neofetchdo the thing still?Didnt even know it was dead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Its still in the freeBSD repos.
I replaced it with Hyfetch awhile back since that was the one that was already in the Ubuntu Noble repos.
Petition to rename “neofetch” to “gammelfetch”, as it’s no longer neo.
nix-shell -p neofetch
nix shell nixpkgsif you’re feeling experimentalnix run --no-write-lock-file github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable#neofetchIf you want to make sure that you run the latest version
It’s still in the AUR though: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/neofetch
With or without a RAT?
Who wouldn’t want to have more rats?
Rawdog the AUR strapless. Get pregnant and birth a rat
as someone who had 7 companion rats, i concur very much.
You’re now obligated to post proof to !petrats@lemmy.world
Have posted them there before :)
ohh, I see :D awesome. good rattos
Pfetch
Gesundheit
Isn’t that made by the same person?
