YouTube video by You Suck at Programming Can You Write A Web Server in PURE BASH?! (no socat, no netcat, no external tools)

what if i wrote a webserver in bash without forking any external commands? that would be crazy right?

YouTube video by You Suck at Programming Bash v5.3 Released! New features and syntax in the latest version of the Bash Shell.

hey, new bash day. @daveeddy.com demos the new stuff

grok is he @grok

grok is he stupid

love this. i respect the hustle.

about 10 years ago i created a style guide for Bash scripts - how I write them, how I avoid pitfalls, my aesthetic preferences, etc. I now created a dedicated website for it that you can access on your browser or in your terminal - check it out!

style.ysap.sh

cowards... cowards I SAY.

lol

it comes for us all…

optimizing for a twitter algorithm with phrases and terms intended to generate reactions 😎 but who knows really - i’m just vibepostin

i love zfs… but the flow of time is always cruel. deleting snapshots i’ll never touch from almost a decade ago. wild.

oh this is absolutely 100% correct and i never would have realized this truth on my own lol

golang error checking goes hard in bash.

now THIS i can get behind 😎

and i’ll do it in 2026 and beyond

i hear it sung beautifully in my head

you may be old but are you 30?

so sad to see vim being banned by the US 😔

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. it’s so smooth. unicode half blocks is very smart. oh my god. i love this. the readme alone has incredible insight into the time complexities of basic bash data structures. this is amazing. (cc @badcop.live )

i have a webserver i run at my house with a CNAME as `go`. in my browser when home (or on wireguard) i can type "go/music", "go/plex", "go/hass", "go/cameras", etc. that's the closest i've come

`./make-box` is a pure bash script (no external commands or dependencies) i'm working on to revamp my website (curl ysap.sh) - it's getting there!

i know just enough to be dangerous with the terminal 😎

i made this at 2am

DO IT. i've used it personally and previously professionally for > 10 years... i love it. i keep bugging @papertigers.net to make more blog posts and tutorials for it :p

i agree with everything here except for the “nah”… my original point was that on day 1 you got the full game and nothing major was added later or paywalled

yeah i mentioned specifically the small bug fix patches… but my point was on day 1 you had the full experience. anyone with a day 1 cartridge and no internet can fully experience the game

yeah but TOTK came after and *didnt* have that… so that’s trending in a really good direction imo

no DLC. no micro transactions. full game (- small bug fix patches) day 1.

i love it!! i made that graphic as a joke, and then @papertigers.net showed me he actually had the stats thanks to atuin - and you made it a reality! incredible

A screenshot of my Atuin wrapped, showing some fun stats about my command history in the style of "spotify wrapped"

Atuin v18.4 is out now!

Including `atuin wrapped`, your year in shell history 🐢

thanks @daveeddy.com for the suggestion!
