That doesn't answer the question, they asked if it's open source. I agree, I don't want to replace one sketchy data-harvesting service with another, I'd be a lot more comfortable giving shutup10 control of my system if it was on github or gitlab.

Won't this delete the two newest files, as opposed to everything except the two newest files?

I just looked up the man page, and actually head -n -2 means "everything up to but not including the last two lines", so this should always leave two files remaining.

Ah! This is a shell pipe! It's composing several smaller commands together, cool stuff.

• ls -1 is the grep-friendly version of ls, it prints one entry per line, like a shopping list.

• head takes a set number of entries from the head of a list, in this case ~~2 items.~~ negative two, meaning "all but the last two."

• xargs takes the incoming pipe and converts it into extra arguments, in this case applying those arguments to rm.

So, combined, this says "list all the .dump files, pick ~~the first two,~~ all but the last two, and delete them." Presumably the first are the oldest ones and the last are the newest, if the .dump files are named chronologically.

I agree with you but your tone is way too violent, we should be helping people learn from their mistakes, not infantilizing them.

True... the trouble with open source is that nobody's getting paid to add features you want, huh.

I'm excited! But why not Minetest? :p

Like many open source games, it has that distinctly 'alpha' feel to it right now, but I do enjoy NodeCore on occasion. It's a zen minimalist block game with a unique diagetic crafting system. Instead of a traditional "recipe book" or "crafting grid", you produce new materials through in-world transformations. For instance, to make glass, you have to surround sand with fire, and to control fire, you basically want to build a deliberately-shaped dirt or stone pit... the whole thing feels a little like minecraft and a little like a sand physics sim or cellular automata.

I think part of the problem is just that there are a lot more good games that people know about! Unfortunately one of the tradeoffs for all the riches of heaven is that it's a lot harder to cover them all.

I hope it gets a PC port. I'm done with Switch exclusives.

I don't mind waiting a bit. If the system works, the users will come eventually.

I mean, there's Stackoverflow, and Steamcommunity. It can be done. I'd just like to see federation tackle it.
