Noting with concern the events of 10 and 11 September 2023, in which the Derna and Abu Mansour dams within the State of Libya failed catastrophically, allowing water in excess of 30 million cubic meters to quickly enter the Derna district,
|
||||
|
||||
Expressing grave concern due to the Libyan National Army and their active denial of reporters and rescue personnel entry into the city of Derna to aid in rescue operations,
|
||||
|
||||
Condemning the previous administration of dictator Muammar Gaddafi, and his historical neglect for the local Libyan infrastructure, in addition to willfully ignoring evidence of dilapidation of local critical infrastructure,
|
||||
|
||||
Alarmed by the fact that an institutionalized culture of ignorance regarding safety protocols and problems within organizations and governments operating and regulating water-bearing structures has become prevalent and has been found to be the root cause for many disasters directly arising due to the failure and lack of maintenance of major water bearing structures,
|
||||
|
||||
Further noting that institutionalized ignorance of safety protocols, problems, and needed repairs causes a lack of resources, funding, oversight, and attention regarding the enforcement and enactment of said protocols and the execution of necessary repairs,
|
||||
|
||||
Taking note of the widespread damage caused by the failure of both dams, including the deaths of approximately 19,000 people, and the irreplaceable loss of many homes, business, and other cultural assets and institutions, in addition to the collapse of four bridges, and the washing out of five central routes into the city of Derna,
|
||||
|
||||
Guided by the fact that this dam collapse is not the first instance of any such event, making the regulation, maintenance, and repair of dams and other water-bearing structures an utmost priority to the international community,
|
||||
|
||||
Further noting with regret that since the inception of the United Nations, 130,980 casualties have occurred as a direct result of accidents and failures of water-bearing structures in member countries of the United Nations,
|
||||
|
||||
The General Assembly hereby:
|
||||
|
||||
Applauds specifically the efforts of fellow delegations representing the Arab Republic of Egypt, People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, Republic of Italy, Republic of France, Republic of Tunisia, Federal Republic of Germany, State of Qatar, Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Republic of Malta, in addition to the efforts of the member states of the European Union, for their resources and support in response to the crisis in the State of Libya;
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a new fund designated for usage only in the repair of dams and other water bearing structures in cases of emergency, imminent disaster, or other essential maintenance, whose total value shall not exceed 40 million USD, and shall be made to be greater than or equal to the value of 20 million USD at each beginning of the United Nations’ fiscal year, January 1;
|
||||
|
||||
Initiates the creation of a new working group whose duty is to oversee the distribution of funds within the aforementioned fund, ensure compliant usage of aforementioned funds, approve regulation of water-bearing structure maintenance and standards, and to promote safe practices regarding water bearing structures, and whose eleven (11) members are to be appointed or dismissed by a special vote of the General Assembly at or near the start of each General Assembly session;
|
||||
|
||||
Urges domain-specific international stakeholders, national regulators, and agencies to advise and support the newly-formed working group on regulation and rulemaking regarding the safety parameters and design constraints of water-bearing structures;
|
||||
|
||||
Asks for a revitalization of safety process and protocols for water-bearing structures across the world, including the testing of old procedure and the reimplementation and restructuring of regulation in light of current issues, including worsening climate and other civil factors;
|
||||
|
||||
Requests the temporary reallocation of humanitarian and peacekeeping forces to the State of Libya, in coordination with the Libyan Presidential Council, the Office of the Libyan Health Minister, the Libyan Health Ministry, and the municipality of the city of Derna, for a period of time not to exceed 18 months from the inception of the crisis, as declared by Libyan Presidential Council;
|
||||
|
||||
Calls upon the Secretary-General, in accordance with the UN Goals for Sustainable Development, in consultation with other relevant parties, including Member States of the United Nations and infrastructure builders and maintainers, to put these measures into effect by 1 February 2024.

=====================

|

Hi there.
|
||||
I'm an amateur `computer programmer <programming/>`_, systems designer, `musician <music/>`_, and `mock legislator <cce/>`_, and this is my website.
|
||||
Here you'll find various materials related to all of those things, as well as some other odds and ends.
|
||||
On this server, I run my own `gitea <https://git.beepboop.systems>`_, a private code forge.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm available on github at `stupidcomputer <https://github.com/stupidcomputer>`_ and email via the address `ryan@beepboop.systems <mailto:ryan@beepboop.systems>`_.
|
||||
Begrudgingly, I'm available on Discord as ``hmmstmachine``.
|
||||
If you need another form of contact, email me and I'll give it to you.

Who needs dmenu when you have st?

=================================
|

.. |trademark| unicode:: U+2122.. TRADEMARK SYMBOL
|
||||
`Go back to the Programming Article Index. </programming/articles>`_
|
||||
|
||||
I'm one of `those <https://old.reddit.com/r/unixporn>`_ `individuals <https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/GNU/Linux_ricing>`_ who like to customize Linux desktops.
|
||||
One mainstay of these types of setups is a good program launcher.
|
||||
`dmenu <https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu>`_ and `rofi <https://davatorium.github.io/rofi/>`_ are favorites among most individuals.
|
||||
However, what's annoying to me is that these two programs are essentially just `fzy <https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy>`_ but for Xorg instead of the tty.
|
||||
Surely we could just `Unix Philosophy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy>`_\ |trademark| our way out of this one?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes we can.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Okay, so we have a terminal emulator and a terminal ``dmenu`` clone as our building blocks.
|
||||
I'm using ``st`` and ``fzy``, respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
Surely this would work?
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
$ st -e fzy
|
||||
|
||||
Oh right, ``fzy`` accepts input on standard in, so that won't work.
|
||||
We need some way to smuggle that standard in into ``fzy``.
|
||||
|
||||
We could try writing the input to ``fzy`` into a file, then passing it in:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
$ temp=$(mktemp)
|
||||
$ echo $temp
|
||||
/run/user/1000/tmp.funnytext
|
||||
$ cat <<EOF > temp
|
||||
some
|
||||
choices
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
$ st -e sh -c "fzy < $temp"
|
||||
|
||||
Now, we get a terminal that pops up with various choices, and we can use the trditional ``fzy`` controls to handle it.
|
||||
But we still need ``fzy``'s output back -- it's going to standard out which is then immediately closed (because ``sh``, the process in ``st``, terminates as soon as it finishes running commands in ``-c``).
|
||||
|
||||
Let's try writing to another file.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
$ st -e sh -c "fzy < $temp > /tmp/really_special_output_file"
|
||||
$ cat /tmp/really_special_output_file
|
||||
my choice
|
||||
|
||||
Nice; we now have a somewhat working dmenu replacement with just a terminal emulator and fzy.
|
||||
|
||||
You can polish this up and make it into a series of shell scripts.
|
||||
I've already done that `here <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/dot_testing/src/branch/master/builds/utils/sh>`_, in ``tmenu``, ``tmenu-backend``, and ``tmenu_run``.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're running ``bspwm``, you can add a rule like so:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
bspc rule -a tmenu-prompt border=on sticky=on state=floating
|
||||
|
||||
This makes the window float. Now, you just call ``st`` like so:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
st -c tmenu-prompt -e <...>
|
||||
|
||||
And we get a centered result:
|
||||
|
||||
.. container:: image-container
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: ./tmenu.gif
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
From the ``lemonbar`` `Arch Wiki page <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/lemonbar#Usage>`_:
|
||||
|
||||
lemonbar prints no information on its own. To get any text into lemonbar you need to pipe text into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Sounds an awful lot like a terminal, right?
|
||||
|
||||
This one's easier though -- we just have a specially arranged terminal at the top of the desktop running our program.
|
||||
But how do we put it up there?
|
||||
|
||||
Define a ``bspwm`` rule:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
bspc rule -a statusbar border=off sticky=on state=floating manage=off
|
||||
|
||||
(That ``manage=off`` part makes ``bspwm`` not resize the window at all.)
|
||||
|
||||
Now, you need to figure out where the statusbar goes, and then start the statusbars where they need to go.
|
||||
Here's some Python to do that: (``statusbar`` is the statusbar program executed in ``st``)
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
xrandr = subprocess.Popen(['xrandr'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
|
||||
output = list(xrandr.stdout)
|
||||
output = [i.decode("utf-8") for i in output if " connected" in i.decode("utf-8")]
|
||||
serialized = []
|
||||
for i in output:
|
||||
splitted = i.split(' ')
|
||||
print(splitted)
|
||||
displayname = splitted[0]
|
||||
geometry = splitted[2]
|
||||
if geometry == "primary":
|
||||
geometry = splitted[3]
|
||||
|
||||
try:
|
||||
geometry_splitted = [int(i) for i in geometry.replace('x', '+').split('+')]
|
||||
except ValueError:
|
||||
continue
|
||||
geometry_splitted[1] = 20
|
||||
print(displayname, geometry_splitted)
|
||||
os.system("st -c statusbar -p -g {}x{}+{}+{} -e statusbar {} & disown".format(
|
||||
*map(str, geometry_splitted),
|
||||
displayname
|
||||
))
|
||||
|
||||
The above does depend on you having a 'pixel-perfect' st patch such as `anysize <https://st.suckless.org/patches/anygeometry/>`_.
|
||||
I wrote my own, and it's enabled by using ``-p``.

`Click here to go back to the beepboop.systems' main page. </>`_
|
||||
|
||||
I've been interacting with computers a long time.
|
||||
I first discovered `Linux <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux>`_ in the fifth grade.
|
||||
Occasionally, I had dabbled in programming before, but my first Linux installation really kicked off programming as a means to build *useful* things.
|
||||
|
||||
My most expertise is in `Python <https://python.org>`_ and the related ecosystem.
|
||||
Similarly, I'm somewhat proficient in `Nix <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_(package_manager)#Implementation>`_, as a result of daily driving `NixOS <https://nixos.org>`_ as my Linux distro of choice.
|
||||
|
||||
I sometimes write `articles <articles/>`_, but I also have many open-source projects. Below are some of them, in no particular order.

||||

``dot_testing``
|
||||
***************
|
||||
|
||||
This is my oldest and most continuous project. ``dot_testing`` is the repository containing the configuration for various machines.
|
||||
As I adapted NixOS, it also morphed into become my repository of Nix configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
It also contains lots of tiny little helper utilities I've wrote and a full-blown statusbar program.
|
||||
|
||||
This project is on the `git.beepboop.systems gitea <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/dot_testing>`_ and `Github <https://github.com/stupidcomputer/dot_testing>`_.

*******
|
||||
|
||||
Over the course of mock legislative conferences, such as the Tennessee YMCA CCE's Model United Nations and Youth in Government, there's a manual released for every conference.
|
||||
What interesting conclusions can we make based on an automated analysis of the bill texts and metadata?
|
||||
Can we train a model to determine who's going to make it to the Governor's desk?
|
||||
What bills will escape committee?
|
||||
How exactly does one get to the plenary session?
|
||||
What legislative activity has the Democratic People's Republic of Korea sponsored?
|
||||
|
||||
It is these kinds of questions ``yig``, a suite of software for building legislation databases, is designed to answer.
|
||||
``yig`` is a parser for YIG/CCE manuals (provided in PDF) and a database/web frontend for the data parsed.
|
||||
|
||||
This project is under development at the `git.beepboop.systems gitea <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/yig>`_ and `Github <https://github.com/stupidcomputer/yig>`_.

``desmos-computer``
|
||||
*******************
|
||||
|
||||
We know that `Desmos <https://desmos.com>`_ is `Turing complete <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness>`_, but can it run Doom?
|
||||
|
||||
In all seriousness, ``desmos-computer`` is a project that implements an `instruction set archiecture <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture>`_ within Desmos via `Actions <https://help.desmos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407725009165-Actions>`_ -- a built-in calculator feature.
|
||||
It also defines a `DSL <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language>`_ for specifying the contents of Desmos graphs.
|
||||
Eventually, an assembler will compile another assembly DSL to a series of DesmosDSL expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
It's all terribly complicated.
|
||||
|
||||
This project is under development at the `git.beepboop.systems gitea <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/desmos-computer>`_ and `Github <https://github.com/stupidcomputer/desmos-computer>`_.

Various IRC bots
|
||||
****************
|
||||
|
||||
For a time, I was a regular user of `IRC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_relay_chat>`_ on the `tilde.chat <https://tilde.chat>`_ network.
|
||||
I've sort of stopped using IRC, mostly because `Bitlbee <https://bitlbee.org>`_'s last version release `was in 2019 <https://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/changelog.html>`_. (!)
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, some of these IRC robots were written as protector bots for the now defunct ``#chaos`` channel.
|
||||
(In ``#chaos``, everyone gets ``+o`` automatically.)
|
||||
|
||||
In chronological order:
|
||||
|
||||
- `chaosbot <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/chaosbot>`_, a terrible IRC robot written in C. It was originally based on stolen code from suckless' ``ii`` IRC client. Licensed MIT.
|
||||
- `pychaos <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/pychaos>`_, a (less) terrible IRC robot written in Python with the `ircrobots` library. Not a very good bot, though. Licensed MIT.
|
||||
- `coinminer <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/coinminer>`_, a silly IRC robot that exploited an imaginary casino with imaginary money for zillions of tildecoins. Licensed AGPL.
|
||||
- `universalducks <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/universalducks>`_, another silly IRC robot that provides cross channel, universal ducks. Licensed AGPL.
|
||||
- `modbot <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer/modbot>`_, a crappy attempt at a modular IRC bot. Licensed AGPL.
|
||||

||||
Other projects
|
||||
**************
|
||||
|
||||
There's a complete listing of all my projects at `my gitea <https://git.beepboop.systems/stupidcomputer>`_.
|
||||
Do note that the vast majority of them are unfinished and will probably never be finished.
|
||||
|
||||
I also had an older website -- an archive of that is available `here </old_website>`_.

If you're reading this page, you've just reached my voicemail. Here are some overall guidelines regarding my voicemail behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- If, after dialing you immediately hear my voicemail, then my phone is off. The most expeditious method of contact is now email.
|
||||
- If, after a repeated dialing tone, you go to voicemail, there are two cases:
|
||||
- The call is urgent. Call again to break through the do-not-disturb barrier.
|
||||
- The call is not urgent. Send me an email with a summary of what you would've said in your voicemail.
|
||||
|
||||
In general: I don't check my voicemail, but I do check my email. If you want to send me a voicemail, send me an email with a summary of your message.
