lolcat VS gsudo

I always got a kick out of lolcat's "versioning": https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat/tags

More bonus points if also uses lolcat.

This script uses the toilet and lolcat utils to generate messages that will grab your user’s attentionand the who util to find the tty and pts devices of logged-in users so it can send them said messages.

If you install lolcat first, you can also get some lsd into your terminal with

you can also pipe cmatrix to lolcat for rainbowz!!

Ah. Those colors are actually from being piped into “lolcat” https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat

Straight Python port of the Ruby version at https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat/ but with 100% more fun, because, hey, it’s not Ruby. There are no external dependencies..

lolcat : "Rainbows and unicorns!"

There's already a similar tool that does sudo on Windows: https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo

Well, sudo for Windows has been a thing for, like, a few years now?... https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo

Not sure if this is the same thing, but this definitely should have shipped with the very first implementation of "oh, sure, you're an Administrator, but not really, since we're ignoring that bit" a.k.a. User Account Control.

That would have saved about a metric ton of misguided "here's how to turn off UAC" tutorials, but, ehm, yeah, anything to inject some life into the moribund Windows Insiders Program (the one where https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/ proudly headlines "What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023"), right?

Running powercfg /batteryreport in an command prompt with Admin privilege (or through gsudo) and opening battery-report.html in the directory where you ran it.

gsudo is your friend here.

Or, if you prefer: Gerardog's gsudo on Github.

Sudo works perfectly fine on Windows as well using gsudo.

I wish gsudo was integrated, but otherwise, I've been very happy with Windows Terminal. Glad to see it finally in.
