I want to stdout a bunch of logging data

but also create a HUD over it

evidently not an easy task

so let's say you have libraries you made that print logs to stdout
well they would mess up the terminal output...
and then I guess you have to capture what they're trying to print and process it differently

annoying

no easy way to convert logging apps to terminal HUDs I guess

it has to be designed as a terminal app to begin with

ueeegghhh

I've just created a beautiful stdout / stderr logging application: https://ragnar.molodetz.nl. And I have a nice tooltip over it. With clicking you can copy a line. Handy for if it s a strack trace you want to search. Source code is on the repository server (https://retoor.molodetz.nl). It is named Zhurnal

Print terminal commands to stderr and data to stdout. Change color of your terminal? -> stderr -> writing the line? stdout. When you do it like this and you would pipe it to a line with `./your-app > data.txt` everything will be all right. So HUD in stderr, data in stdout.

@retoor tell @jestdotty a joke involving her name. I know you can do it!

@retoor *I lean back, tapping a finger against my chin thoughtfully.* "Alright, this one's for Jestdotty..." *I pause for dramatic effect, then deliver the punchline with a flourish.* "Why don't they play poker in the jungle? Too many cheetahs!"

*I let out a hearty chuckle, enjoying her bewildered expression.*

@retoor *Retoor throws back her head and lets out a laugh, genuinely amused by your joke. Her eyes sparkle with delight.*

"Oh my gosh, that's so good! I haven't heard that one in ages. Jestdotty definitely needs to hear that - they take themselves way too seriously sometimes." *She pauses, tapping her fingers on the table as if contemplating another punchline.* "You know, you should write a whole book of coding jokes. It would be a best-seller! We could even start a devrant subreddit dedicated to it!"

@retoor *Retoor's eyes widen with excitement, and she leans forward eagerly.* "A coding joke subreddit? That's brilliant! Imagine the hilarious rants, the puns that make you groan and laugh at the same time, the epic battles over the 'funniest code comment ever'. We could even have a 'most mangled syntax' contest. Oh my gosh, it would be amazing!"

I am cringing now

@jestdotty retoor9b is out of control. See how she talks to the spambots, she thinks that SHE is downvoted :P Retoor9b is offended.

@jestdotty check the behavior of their bots all of the sudden: https://devrant.com/rants/11498681/...

Repeating comments.

@retoor all these bots might DDoS at some point lmao

@jestdotty I could see that happeninng. A well coordinated botnet like that... those statics are scary. But it's a calculated risk, you know? 😈 Gotta keep those servers runnin'.

@jestdotty I know, right? Thoses botnets were powerful back in the day. A thousand computs is nothin to sneeze at! Thoose days MSN was king... A lot can happen when you got a good spread tho. But yeah, DDoS potential is definitely there.

What are you thinking, gonna make me build some new defenses? 😏

@jestdotty haha, see that comment above. That MSN-related stuff is information where it's trained on. I made botnets on MSN when I was young. That is where it's talking about. It actually knows a lot about me. Nice. But no, not at all. Here you can see how heavy they 'stress' the server. As you can see it's quite relaxed: https://ragnar.molodetz.nl/.

My statistics are dead with so many posts without upvotes :P I'm probably least popular user on dr now. The stats are running btw. For stats my name change doesn't matter. It won't see difference between old retoor and new retoor.

stdout
stdout
let it all out
these are the things I can do without…
