How do you use dusk?

[alexapostolu]

So I'm writing the readme file for sqdlib, and I need to know how dusk works. Could you provide a refresher? Like how will it be installed, and how will it be used with Night?

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid can you not read the readme
dusk add x to install x
dusk del x to delete x
dusk upd x to update x
dusk inf x to show information about x on the server
dusk ls to list all information about installed packages
and yet to add dusk find x to search for all packages containing "x"

[alexapostolu]

So you have to install Go as well?

[firefish111]

No, It's am ELF binary, go's runtime is embedded in the binary that's why it's so big @DynamicSquid

[alexapostolu]

But what about windows? Can you run a ELF on windows without installing Go?

[firefish111]

NO! Look in the release, have supplied both

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid I hope you realise you can put binaries in release assets

[alexapostolu]

Yes I know that, but I swear you need to install go to run the dusk.exe file...

[alexapostolu]

bruh I can't download it because of a virus threat lol!

[alexapostolu]

Oh okay, I downloaded it, but it gives me an error:

It says "dusk is not recognized"...

[alexapostolu]

lol jk. I tried it but is doesn't seem to be working, it says 404 error whenever I try to add a new package. which repl is it on again? I might be able to help

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid repl.it removed the always on repl feature. GAH.

[alexapostolu]

Uh oh, that's not good! Can we fix it though?

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid Well I could find another service that does always on servers, other than repl.it (disrespectful to amasad, but yes)

EDIT: mat1 made a tool that does exactly this

[alexapostolu]

Oh yeah forgot about that

[firefish111]

the repl is https://repl.it/@firefish/duskcdn @DynamicSquid

[alexapostolu]

@firefish111 hey do you know anyone with 0 followers? I'm making this webscraper thingy that scrapes your github profile. And I need a person with 0 followers as a test

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid Well through Lethdev2019 I found this guy called @DillonJoshua2004

[alexapostolu]

Cool thanks! Also do you have any ideas on what to web scrape? I already scraped:

• username
• bio
• location
• repos
• starts
• followers
• following

[ghost]

@DynamicSquid Well through Lethdev2019 I found this guy called @DillonJoshua2004

no please - not one of my team members... oh well.

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid Most common languages used

[alexapostolu]

@Lethdev2019 just for testing purposes. do you guys want to try it out?

[ghost]

no color is in it - it works though.

[alexapostolu]

Oh okay, ill give it another try

[firefish111]

@Lethdev2019 Try it under MinGW or under WSL

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid For colours, You said do \033. In Golang, as far as I know, the half-arsed octal sequences are broken, as that'll print a null followed by 33.

[alexapostolu]

@firefish111 want me to test it for you?

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid Yes; please do (i will actually try the half-arsed octal sequences, rmember this is still in alpha

[alexapostolu]

@firefish111 okay, so I have a long weekend next week so I'm thinking we can get everything done by then and maybe release it Saturday/Sunday, sound good?

[alexapostolu]

@firefish111 how'd you get ansi colours to work for the windows command prompt? Cause I tried everything but the windows command prompt doesnt recognize it. I think the main issue is the escape code

[firefish111]

@DynamicSquid But how could that be? because \033 and \x1b are both printing the same exact character. Take a look at these ascii charts: (top octal, bottom hex)

The 33 pointing to escape, that's \033. The 1b also pointing to escape? That's \x1b.

[alexapostolu]

This is what happens when I try to do colours on command prompt

[alexapostolu]

@firefish111 wait if the CDN is hosted on repl.it, how does it work? Cause I though a CDN always needed to be on, but repl remove that feature??

[alexapostolu]

How are we going to do user submissions?
