asking as a casual non-poweruser... how does one do that on linux exactly?

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.0/driver-api/gpio/index.h...

You can usually find libraries for your language of choice to speak GPIO and expose the pin's state as a variable in your code.

is it a reference to something?

"Reticulating Splines" was one of many possible loading screen phrases for games like The Sims and Sim City.

Instead of realistic ones like "Loading assets" and "Reading file", they would give humorous nonsensical ones like "Reticulating Splines".


SimCity 2000 showed a message "Reticulating splines" when it generated the landscape that didn't mean anything in particular.

It became a bit of a meme in the years since.


what does that even do?

Looks like it tries wl-copy, then tries xclip and then tries xsel. I have no idea what those are but google says it's for Wayland, so, I think it's a linux function trying to copy to clipboard? I think their problem is with the use of '.then(...=>...)' since there doesn't seem to be a way to tell each function that the nested ones actually finished.

wl-copy is a program to put text into the system clipboard if you're on a wayland-based system (so you can ctrl-v paste it somewhere else). Imagine like, cat ~/.ssh/whatever | wl-copy and then pasting into github or something.

xclip is the same for X based systems.


It looks like a search for the command line tool available to send content to the clipboard.

Can't tell if that obfuscated code works though.


Ukrainians are unimpressed that US no longer supports war to exhaustion. US in unimpressed that Ukraine supported other side in elections

Problem is that US wants to distance itself instead of ending the conflict


> US in unimpressed that Ukraine supported other side in elections

Sorry, what is "the other side" exactly?


Did I miss something? When did Ukraine support any side in elections?

US doesn't actually have a way to end the Ukraine war. It doesn't have a way to end the Iran war either. Other than unconditional surrender.

US in unimpressed that Ukraine supported other side in elections

Considering that Trump literally tried to blackmail Zelenskyy in his first term, why on earth would they have supported him in 2020?

no it wouldn't

the whole point is to critique the post


So... will we see EU apply sanctions?

> Before it was enabled, it was getting several hundred-thousand requests each day. As soon as Anubis became active in there, it decreased to about 11 requests after 24 hours

I love experimental data like this. So much better than gut reaction that was spammed when anubis was just introduced


Well yeah, but I also didn't make it through to the actual site. That can't be the idea, right? After 5 seconds of 100% CPU and no progress I gave up.

The idea is to scare off bots and not normal humans.


May be you are a bot /s

Yes my name is Anna
