A funky shell thingy that I've never seen before

So you're in posix sh and you want to do the equivalent of this in bash:

foo | tee >(bar) >(baz) >/dev/null

(Suppose that bar and baz don't produce output. Add redirections where needed if that's not the case.)

Automating Daily Reports, because fuck it, really...

Each day at our company, developers are required to document their activities, painstakingly jotting down their daily work and future plans. A monotonous chore that I just really dislike.

So now, there's a scribe for that :

How to use this gist

You've got two main options:

We need to talk about group.

I'm sorry to tell you, but group is gone.

If you check out the latest k.d on shakti.com as at 28 March 2023, you'll see that 'unary' = is now 'freq' (frequency).

Group had a long life: it's been around since at least k2, or 1996.

So why did group go? And what should we use instead?

You can inherit the environment variables from PID 1 by iterating over the list of null-terminated strings in /proc/1/environ, parsing the first characters up to the first = as the variable name, setting the remaining value as that variable, and exporting it.

The Code Snippet

This works with multiline environment variables, and environment variables with arbitrary values, like strings, including = or JSON blobs.

Paste this in your current terminal session to inherit the environment variables from PID 1:

capture those packets

Now we can install patched version of QEMU via Homebrew (thank you everyone for the info!). Here is the updated instruction with it:
