trying to come up with some advice around quoting/escaping/tab completion in the shell and not coming up with as much as I thought I would! so far I have:

- sometimes you can drag a file from a GUI file manager to escape it properly
- tab completion is great

mostly looking for advice around using the shell interactively, not scripting (so not "always quote your shell variables”)

I was checking if anubis works to protect against LLM by quering chatgpt " summarize michal.sapka.pl/2025/catbus/". This in not-public draft of the post (final one has "the" prefix).
GPT gives answer.

WTF I think.

I had a grep on post-anubis log to show me this link. Nothing, nada.

WTF is going on I think.

Then, I read the summary GPT gave me.

----------------------------

"Certainly! Here’s a concise summary of [michal.sapka.pl/2025/catbus/](:

---

## Summary: Catbus

The blog post introduces **Catbus**, Michał Sapka’s open-source tool for tracking changes in directory contents.

**Key points:**

- **Purpose:** Catbus periodically scans specified directories and logs any changes (added, removed, or modified files).
- **How it works:** Rather than using OS-level notifications (like inotify), Catbus works by taking snapshots of directories at intervals and comparing them over time.
- **Privacy & Simplicity:** All data remains local; there are no cloud uploads or external dependencies. Catbus is meant to be lightweight and easy to use.
- **Configuration:** The tool uses a TOML file to let users specify which directories to monitor and what behaviors to enable.
- **Use cases:** Catbus is useful for backup monitoring, detecting unwanted file changes, and maintaining an audit trail in a privacy-conscious manner.
- **Status:** The project is in early development, with the author encouraging feedback and contributions.

---

Catbus is a simple, privacy-friendly, and local tool for auditing file changes by periodically scanning directories and recording any differences it finds.
**In brief:** Catbus is a simple, privacy-friendly, and local tool for auditing file changes by periodically scanning directories and recording any differences it finds.

---------------------------

I have no idea if I should laugh more or be angry.
But yeah - at it's best. Nothing of the summary is correct, it never did what I asked it and lied about it all. I'm using gpt-4.1 which should is a "new" model I guess.

Fuck this future.

大家應該都知道在德國公開使用納粹符號、否認或輕視納粹罪行是刑事罪,其實用納粹或希特勒來類比他人或是團體(Hitler-Vergleich)也極不恰當(例如說某人是希特勒、某黨是納粹...),在某些情況下甚至也會觸法。
Hitler-Vergleich除了涉及侮辱及名譽誹謗,同時也是煽動仇恨與對立;另一方面有淡化納粹罪行之嫌,因為納粹所犯的罪行是對一整個民族有系統的迫害及滅絕,同時也是戰爭罪,這種罪行前所未有,是一般人或團體的言行遠遠不能相提並論的,這種類比反而弱化這些罪行的歷史意義,也無益於建設性和客觀的討論。

無言🤦‍♀️
某黨一個月內被提醒兩次,這次還被直接點名😑 到底在幹嘛啊?! 這個黨從上到下難道沒有一個腦袋比較清楚正常的人嗎?!

FreeBSD 14.2 is now installed on my Framework Laptop 13 DIY Edition (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series). My next step will be to build and install the FreeBSD 14.3 kernel to take advantage of the faster wifi.
