Hello world! 🌎

I write notes in this gist as comments. My original goal was to have a workflow where I can't have an excuse to not write. No websites to manage, no codes to push, no styles to update. Just write. I found Github gist fitting and I don't have issues with writing markdown.

This gist contains "problem-based", technical notes. I encounter a problem, I "google" the solution, I document the solution. Hopefully, I can accumulate the learning and don't have to google again when I encounter the same problem.

Besides problem-based, I also write my "TIL" notes here. They are the new things I learnt that often gave me that "nice" feeling when I first found about it.

There are other things I write like electronics, observations, etc. which I put in different gists. If you want to check it, here's the "sitemap" of all my notes:

💡 TIL: bat has batdiff that gives you a prettier git diff
🔗 Ref: https://github.com/eth-p/bat-extras
#️⃣ Tags: workflow cli quality-of-life

Context:
After playing around with bat (see previous note), I found that bat has bat-extras which integrates syntax highlighting to existing tools. The two extras that I immediately use is batgrep and batdiff.

Here's the preview:

ripgrep: batgrep:

git diff: batdiff:

For macOS, installation is easy (after you've installed bat): brew install eth-p/software/bat-extras.

For other platform, see their README.

🧶 Problem: I want to find all node_modules folders
💡 Solution: Use find with -prune
🔗 Ref: SO comment
#️⃣ Tags: js cli
🔢 Encounters: 1

Context:
I'm curious how many node_modules folders I have accumulated and how many GB it cost me. I found the SO comment (in Ref) that suggests to use find with -prune to list all node_modules folders excluding its descendants (because node_modules can be nested). Note that I mostly use yarn and only recently started using pnpm.

The command to find all node_modules folders:

find . -type d -name node_modules -prune | tr '\n' '\0' |  xargs -0 du -sch

Turns out I have 110 node_modules folders, 31 GB in total. Maybe I should start deleting them.

Here's all my node_modules with their size, for my future reference

Note: some paths are masked (eg. "***") for privacy reason

🧶 Problem: I want macOS to trigger a backup script when I plug in a microSD
💡 Solution: Use Apple Automator to trigger rsync
🔗 Ref: Apple Support Community
#️⃣ Tags: macOS automator workflow
🔢 Encounters: 1

Context:
I have 2 cameras that I use to record videos (DJI Pocket 2 and Akaso Brave 7). After recording some videos, I'll:

  1. take out the microSD from the camera
  2. plug it in to my card reader
  3. copy the videos to my SSD (I use rsync for this)
  4. plug out the microSD and put it back to the device.

I noticed the pattern and I thought it'd be good if I can automate number 3. I know I can trigger a script when a device mounted using systemd (eg. this gist) but macOS doesn't have systemd. So I googled and found the discussion in Apple Support Community (see Ref). Turns out I can us Automator for that.

image

Automator script:

device=$(basename $@)
script=/Volumes/wzulfikar/Devices/$device/sync.sh

[ ! -f "$script" ] && exit 1

osascript -e "display dialog \"Syncing $@..\" giving up after 5"

$script

osascript -e "display dialog \"Sync completed for $@\""

sync.sh script (eg. located in /Volumes/wzulfikar/Devices/DJIPOCKET2/sync.sh):

#!/bin/sh

source=/Volumes/DJIPOCKET2/DCIM/
target=/Volumes/wzulfikar/Devices/DJIPOCKET2/DCIM/

echo "Syncing $source to $target"

rsync -rP --ignore-existing $source $target

When doing this, I also learnt that Automator stores its scripts in ~/Library/Workflows/Applications. Here's how my Folder Actions script look like in that directory:
