Accuracy of Commercial Sleep-Trackers Compared to Research-Grade Tools
> Itโs just collecting data for the sake of collecting data.
No, sleep is one of the most important parameters for health!
If in 2024 you are not collecting data on your sleep to take action (and for ex, stop overtraining, reduce drinking etc) to reduce the risks of future brain problems, you are doing it wrong.
> Even if it was accurate, I can just tell by feel
I can't, and I fear it may be the same "overconfidence" issue that cause car accidents when drunk.
I collect logs with my sqlite based bash history collection that I've been running for 5 years: https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite
Thanks to my garmin, I have identified a pattern where I feel ok, but my garmin reported less REM sleep than usual: in the day, I run a few more commands than usual and I have more mistakes (as can be seen by the non-zero return values)

Introducing chroot for Android 10, designed for the Nova Air C
It will be inspired by https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite but it will add a theme suited for eink and a proper support for shortcuts or keys like delete/backspace/control delete/control backspace etc. as I'm used to Windows shortcuts and can't do with vim if control-left doesn't jump to the left word but I have to do the traditional esc b that I don't like much :)

Bash 5.2
For bash users who are tempted by zsh interactive "fuzzy" completion, here's my take on it: it's directory-aware (offering different suggestions based on your history of commands in that given directory), pure bash code using sqlite to store data: https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite
The only other dependency is fzy for fuzzy matching.

Everything you ever wanted to know about terminals(but were afraid to ask)
It should be a super simple feature to add to your terminal emulator: SCP works with a X,Y position. RCP just "jumps" there.
If you keep an accounting of how many lines you have displayed since then, you could alter the response to RCP by also doing the appropriate amount of scrolling: it should only take one variable, the deltaY to scroll.
If you want to test the idea, I think you could even use tmux and send commands to control the scrollback cf ahttps://superuser.com/questions/209437/how-do-i-scroll-in-tm...
I've used similar tricks with RCP/SCP but for simpler things: the only slight difficulty is the deltaY accounting, like when you are executing commands near the bottom of the screen because you must take into account that scolling will happen - but it's essentially similar to your idea.
So check https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite/blob/main... and make sure you understand both how the __notbottom function works, and why PS0 needs an extra Esc[2a
Actually, now that I think more about your idea, it would be sweet to keep a SCP/RCP stack with multiple values, where you can push values with each SCP then pop them with RCP, say in sequence, or maybe just access the nth value with a different command that wouldn't pop them? That could be done nicely by augmenting RCP.
Also you could augment SCP with an optional flag to specify whether the terminal should scroll back upon RCP of this nth entry, and you'd have a great function that would be quite useful (ex: SCP with a jump bool when the return is non 0: you could make a shortcut to jump to the commands that have returned errors)
There's no reason to stop adding cool features to terminals: we're in a terminal renaissance!

WSL Question
Or if you use bash, try my own bash solution: https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite

Do-nothing scripting: the key to gradual automation
> The problem happens when somebody "updates" that web server in-place.
Imagine this is 28-nginx : I would jist create another script 29-nginx-update recording the update, even if it: "echo apt-get update; apt-get upgrade nginx ; echo "make sure to fix variable $foo"
Next time I have to do that, I will integrate that into 28-nginx and remove 29-nginx-update
> eventually when someone tries the whole checklist from the beginning, they'll find it's now broken; the steps aren't working as expected.
Maybe I don't understand the issue, but my scripts or text files are simple and meant to be used in sequence. If I hack the scripts, I make sure it still works as expected - and given my natural laziness, I only ever update scripts when deploying to a new server or VM, so I get an immediate feedback if they stop working
Still, sometimes something may work as expected (ex: above, maybe $foo depends on a context?), but it only means I need to generalize the previous solution - and since the script update only happen in the context of a new deployment, everything is still fresh in my head.
To help me with that, I also use zfs snapshots at important steps, to be able to "observe" what the files looked like on the other server at a specific time. The snapshots conveniently share the same name (ex etc@28-nginx) so comparing the files to create a scripts can be easily done with diff -Nur using .zfs/snapshot/ cf https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gbiqe/index.ht...
Between that + a sqlite database containing the full history of commands types (including in which directory, and their return code), I rarely have such issues

> I believe that using zsh means, for the vast majority of users, using just a small subset of functionality that gives a better UX when compared to Bash.
What about adding only these functionalities you may care about?
When I tried zsh, what I liked was the history search. Like youm Everything else "wasn't as simple as I expected".
So I fixed my bash. Check https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite :
- stores everything into a sqlite database so 2 separate terminals can access each other history on the go
- add extras details to the history like when the command started, stopped, which with return code, in which directory,
- for accessing the history, uses fzy for fuzzy finding,
- provides 2 separate history search context: either global (ctrl-t) or "this directory only" (ctrl-r), with extra goodies like excluding commands with a non-zero return error code thanks to the extra things saved
I included a few examples of the SQL queries you can run.

Z โ Jump Around
It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. Iโve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like โxonshโ. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

[MacOS] Setting up zsh in MacOS, any hints, dos/don'ts, advice, or guides?
Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

Organizing Multiple Git Identities
I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.
I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:
git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
