#batcat — Public Fediverse posts

  1. I've tried. batcat as a replacement for cat. It just doesn't work. cat $foo > $bar -- I need to remember to disable colors. I filed a bugreport at Debian for it, because it should detect this (via some shape way or form) and it currently doesn't. It keeps breaking my usage for cat. Perhaps I should alias it to less. But batcat != cat replacement.

  2. The shed-dwelling stray has been dubbed "Batcat" for obvious reasons.
    I have offered it water and food. It has offered me remarkably convincing stuffed cat impressions. (Like a Weeping Angel, it only moves when you're not looking.)

  3. I've been a fan of bat (the cat alternative) for some time now - but using it just bit me in the ass while running some scripts.

    Specifically if you have a tool that expects standard cat formatting for stdin, but you're using bat via aliases, it will cause that tool to act wacky (or just fail).

    #linux #bash #bat #cat #batcat #stdin

  4. 🚀 LinkAhead Hackathon Week!
    This week we are running a #hackathon to establish the foundation for deploying #LinkAhead across multiple systems.
    🎯 The bigger picture?
    As part of the #BatCAT Project, which is developing a digital twin for battery manufacturing, we are developing a Data and Knowledge Management System to support collaboration and data exchange between partners. The Dataspace Protocol will be used to enable data exchange between multiple #LinkAhead instances.
    Stay tuned!

  5. Trying out bat (the cat(1) alternative) for the first time, and … I dunno, the flushing behavior seems bonkers.

    I assume it's because stdout and stderr end up in separate places, and maybe cat isn't innocent here either, but having the output split _inside_ of an escape code (note the "31m") looks like there's something really wrong.

    ("bar" does not exist; that's on purpose to produce an error message.)

  6. Today we are attending the first #BatCAT consortial meeting in Ås at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences in Norway.
