They'll do it for maybe a year, then enshittify it like everything else (not that WB/MAX/HBO/Whatever-the-fuck-this-thing-is-called) isn't already shitty, it'll just get Netflix shitty.

What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?

find /path/to/starting/dir -type f -regextype egrep -regex 'some[[:space:]]*regex[[:space:]]*(goes|here)' -exec mv {} /path/to/new/directory/ \;

I routinely have to find a bunch of files that match a particular pattern and then do something with those files, and as a result, find with -exec is one of my top commands.

If you're someone who doesn't know wtf that above command does, here's a breakdown piece by piece:

find - cli tool to find files based on lots of different parameters
/path/to/starting/dir - the directory at which find will start looking for files recursively moving down the file tree
-type f - specifies I only want find to find files.
-regextype egrep - In this example I'm using regex to pattern match filenames, and this tells find what flavor of regex to use
-regex 'regex.here' - The regex to be used to pattern match against the filenames
-exec - exec is a way to redirect output in bash and use that output as a parameter in the subsequent command.
mv {} /path/to/new/directory/ - mv is just an example, you can use almost any command here. The important bit is {}, which is the placeholder for the parameter coming from find, in this case, a full file path. So this would read when expanded, mv /full/path/of/file/that/matches/the/regex.file /path/to/new/directory/
\; - This terminates the command. The semi-colon is the actual termination, but it must be escaped so that the current shell doesn't see it and try to use it as a command separator.

What DDNS providers you guys recommend?

I used duckdns for years without any issues at all. Only reason I switched is because I'm using Pangolin and tunneling instead of exposing my IP directly.

That makes sense. I'll add the whitespace capture. The actual string only has one backslash, the second is to escape, though as I'm typing this, I'm thinking I can do a `fr"regex here" to eliminate the second backslash? I'll have to test this later when I have time.

Thank you!

No apologies necessary! This is incredibly helpful! I found in the documentation how to format the message with the basicConfig, so I'm going to get rid of the logDateTime, move the logger out of main (didn't even think about how that would limit it to only main and not the other functions.), and test output to stdout vs the file defined in basicConfig.

Gotta go to work, but will implement this later. Thank you!!

Can you explain your reasoning behind adding the whitespace regex? I'm guessing that's insurance in case the config file syntax changes with an app update. Thank you!

'Leverage: Redemption' Canceled After 3 Seasons

They started doing the thing that all shows are doing now. One, is dumbing down the plotlines in general, but the far more annoying thing is the trend of showing a flashback of a thing that literally happened five minutes ago in the show and here it is again to make it super obvious that this was the super sneaky thing that they did to advance the plan/heist/plot.

I fucking hate that trend. I'm not a second screen watcher. When I watch something, I watch it and pay attention because I want to be engaged in it. I know I'm in the minority and no amount of removed will change that, but it has caused me to abandon a lot of shows. Most recently Matlock and High Potential.

I did run across the qbittorrent-natpmp when I was looking into how to change the port via the api, but wanted to work out the process myself (not because of NIH, but for the learning of figuring it all out).

I had no idea about the up/down command in gluetun! That's very nice. I'm going to look into that for sure.

Thank you!

Ooh, that's very nice. I will definitely use that instead of the with open... I'm using now. Thank you!!

So, if I understand what you mean correctly, with logger, drop the function, and in the main script body (which is now under an if __name__ == "__main__": check, call logger directly something like:

    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    load_dotenv()
    
    logDateTime = datetime.today().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

    currentForwardedPort = get_current_forwarded_port()
    currentListeningPort = get_current_listening_port()

    if currentForwardedPort != currentListeningPort:
        update_qbittorrent_listen_port(currentPort)
        logger.info(f"[{logDateTime}] qbittorrent listen port set to {currentForwardedPort}")
    else:
        loger.info(f"[{logDateTime}] forwarded port and listen port are a match")

And then in the crontab I can do:
