JC v1.15.0 released - JC converts command output to JSON

Today marks a huge release for jc. Version 1.15.0 now includes a 70 parsers and dozens of new features and parsers. New parsers include: acpi, upower, /usr/bin/time, dpkg -l, rpm -qi, finger, and dir (Windows).

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc

jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file-types for easier parsing in noscripts. This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like jq by piping commands:

ls -l /usr/bin | jc --ls | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}

or using the alternative "magic" syntax:

jc ls -l /usr/bin | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}

Get this error when shutting down (tried multiple distros)

Anyone have any ideas to fix this issue? This is with Popos. Everything works including restarts, sleep etc... but when you shut it down this happens? Thought it might just be because of PopOS so I tried Elementary OS, Manjaro and Linux Mint and all have the same/similar shut down issue. Any insight would be appreciated.

Linux switch simulating a network outage

Hey r/linux

I have a switch running Linux with multiple devices connected to it.

I'm attempting to simulate a network outage on one of the ports. Say the port is swp1.

I've tried with both tcand iptables

tc qdisc add dev swp1 root netem loss 100%

and

iptables -A INPUT -i swp1 -p all -j DROP

However, packets coming from and going to the device aren't dropped.

Any idea on how I can force packets going to the device on interface swp1 to drop?

Linux has a interested history. This is one of early emails from Linus that started Linux as a hobby project, now it's running on 95% of servers and phones.

I created an app to automatically track your time. (Logs the active process and app name every second). It saves into a local sqlite3. It was a school project, but I expanded upon it. Is anyone interested in me polishing it and releasing it? I do not know of any free/open alternative.

OMG! Pop!OS' PopShop is actually elementary AppCenter itself and not a fork of it!

Today i was browsing the system monitor and found something quite strange...

The process' name was io.elementary.appcenter, but I was running Pop!OS and moreover the icon was of PopShop too!

This paper used algorithm to find copypaste bug in Linux, what is the bug?

Hi I found a paper discussing a tool to find bugs introduced by copy pasting code. And they show an example (Figure 1.) where the tool has found a potential problem and marked the buggy line, but I can't see what is wrong.

Do you guys have any idea? http://opera.ucsd.edu/paper/OSDI04-CPMiner.pdf

Auto moderator is out of control

I saw a post I liked last night so I commented "nice!" Because, well.. I thought it was a good thing. I wake up this morning to a message saying my comment was removed for being inappropriate. So let me reiterate this. I respond to a post with a positive reply because I would like to see more stuff like that in the sub and it gets removed because for some reason it has been deemed "inappropriate". What in the blue hell? Do you WANT people to leave your sub? If I can't comment on something without being removed for a logical reason, why would I continue to post here? Why would anyone?
