Try to guess the operating system installed on the host (local or remote). Using SSH to connect remote host.

# Netchk Simple tool to troubleshoot internet connectivity issues. This tool verifies: - your computer has at least one IP address - you have at least one DNS configured - you can reach the configured nameservers - the nameservers can resolve hosts Finally, some ICMP ping statistics are presented with average durations and error rates. ## Installation ```sh gem install netchk ``` ## Usage Just run `netchk` from your terminal and basic diagnosis will start showing you progress and any error if present. Note: On Linux system, this gem requires `sudo` to perform the ICMP ping operations. On macOS, this is not needed. You also can configure how netchk verifies your connections by configuring a `~/.netchk.yaml` or `~/.netchk.yml` file like below. ```yaml # Settings to test DNS server connectivity. dns: # Path to resolv.conf file to check presence and connectivity of DNS. # Path should be absolute to avoid issues when running netchk # from different directories. resolv.conf: /etc/resolv.conf # Settings to test DNS resolution. resolv: # Path to resolv.conf file to use for testing DNS resolution. # Path should be absolute to avoid issues when running netchk # from different directories. It is advised to be the same # as dns.resolv.conf. resolv.conf: /etc/resolv.conf # The list of domains to test for DNS resolution. domains: - google.com - youtube.com - facebook.com # Settings to test icmp ping. icmp: # A list of hosts to ping with ICMP. It is advised to use # IP addresses instead of domains to rule out any issues with # DNS resolution, which is tested separately. hosts: - 1.1.1.1 - 8.8.8.8 # The number of ping to issue each host. count: 20 # The duration in seconds to wait between each ping. # Setting this value too low might cause timeouts. interval: 0.2 ``` Each value is optional. If one is missing the default value will be used. The file above shows the default values. ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/moray95/netchk.

Problem: While Cucumber is an awesome tool, for some kinds of tests it's default behaviour becomes an obstacle. Testing large batches of input against a slow error prone system is the source of much frustration. Cucumber will skip remaining steps on failure or error. This is especially problematic if the test input is a dynamic collection, *(e.g. results of a database query). This is opposed to a static collection testing which is solved by a Scenario Outline. Solution: We need to step putside Cucumber's default pass/fail/error handling. Capture all failures and errors in collections. Log errors and failures. Generate a pass/fail manifest against the test inputs. Do not use this for normal BDD style testing, Cucumber's default behaviour is perfect for that. Public Interface: This is a works in progress so I expect changes as usage reveals more. In your cucumber env.rb Before do |scenario| setup_unstoppable end After do |scenario| print unstoppable_failures(scenario) print unstoppable_errors(scenario) end In a step definition wrap any operation that you do not wish to stop execution like so unstoppable do expect(thing).to be(exected_thing) end This helper method does the following: runs executes the block catches any exception 2a. adds error to errors collection if an error 2b. adds expectation failure to failures collection if error is an RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError logs error/failure

VSM is a small Ruby framework for building agentic systems using a Viable System Model–style architecture. It gives you Capsules: self‑contained components composed of five named systems (Operations, Coordination, Intelligence, Governance, Identity) plus an async runtime so many capsules can run concurrently. Highlights • Capsules & recursion: compose larger organisms from smaller capsules, each with its own Operations/Coordination/Intelligence/Governance/Identity. • Async runtime: fiber‑based (async gem) message bus and scheduler with “floor control” per session; great for streaming output and multi‑turn tool loops. • Tools as capsules: implement tools as first‑class capsules with JSON‑Schema descriptors, ready to expose to OpenAI‑compatible function calling; adapters for other providers (e.g., Anthropic/Gemini) fit the same interface. • Parallel execution: pluggable executors (fiber/thread today) so tool calls can run concurrently; swap in ractors/subprocess isolation later without API changes. • Observability: append‑only JSONL event ledger; simple hooks to add tracing/metrics so you can build a live “lens” UI or ship logs to your infra. • Ports (ingress/egress): clean adapters for TTY/HTTP/MCP/etc. so multiple interaction models can share the same organism. Use cases • CLI chat agents with streaming and native tool calling • Editor/CI sub‑agents (planner, tester, refactorer) composed as capsules • MCP tool hosts/clients and other integrator bots Status: early but practical. APIs may evolve as we add more provider drivers and ports, but the core Capsule/Systems abstractions should be stable.

== What's this? {ComicFury}[https://comicfury.com] is an excellent no-bullshit webcomic hosting site created and maintained by the legend Kyo. You should support them on {Patreon}[https://www.patreon.com/comicfury]! {Jekyll}[https://jekyllrb.com] is a highly regarded and widespread static site generator. It builds simple slowly-changing content into HTML files using templates. RageRender allows you to use your ComicFury templates to generate a static version of your webcomic site using Jekyll. You just supply your templates, comics and blogs, and RageRender will output a site that mimics your ComicFury site. Well, I say "mimics". Output is a static site, which means all of the interactive elements of ComicFury don't work. This includes comments, subscriptions, search, and comic management. === But why?! RageRender allows those of us who work on making changes to ComicFury site templates to test our changes before we put them live. With RageRender, you can edit your CSS, HTML templates and site settings before you upload them to ComicFury. This makes the process of testing changes quicker and makes it much more likely that you catch mistakes before any comic readers have a chance to see them. RageRender doesn't compete with the most excellent ComicFury (who's Patreon you should contribute to, as I do!) – you should continue to use ComicFury for all your day-to-day artistic rage management needs. But if you find yourself making changes to a site design, RageRender may be able to help you. == Getting started First, you need to have {Ruby}[https://www.ruby-lang.org/] and {Bundler}[https://bundle.io/] installed. The Jekyll site has {good guides on how to do that}[https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/] depending on your operating system. To set up a new site, open a terminal and type: mkdir mycomic && cd mycomic bundle init bundle add jekyll bundle add ragerender Now you can add comics! Add the image into an <tt>images</tt> folder: mkdir images cp 'cool comic.jpg' 'images/My first page.jpg' The file name of the image will be the title of your comic page. And that's it, you added your first comic! If you want to add an author note, create a text file in a folder called <tt>_comics</tt> that has the same file name, but with a <tt>.md</tt> extension: mkdir _comics echo "Check out my cool comic y'all!" > '_comics/My first page.md' Generate the site using: bundle exec jekyll build Or start a local website to see it in your browser: bundle exec jekyll serve # Now visit http://localhost:4000! === Customising your site You'll notice a few things that might be off about your site, including that the webcomic title and author name are probably not what you were expecting. You can create a configuration file to tell RageRender the important details. Put something like this in your webcomic folder and call it <tt>_config.yml</tt>: title: "My awesome webcomic!" slogan: "It's the best!" description: > My epic story about how him and her fell into a romantic polycule with they and them defaults: - scope: path: '' values: author: "John smith" theme: ragerender Your webcomic now has its basic information set up. === Adding your layouts If you want to use your own layout code, then create a <tt>_layouts</tt> directory and put the contents of each of your ComicFury layout tabs in there, and then put your CSS in the main folder. You should end up with a full set of files like: _layouts archive.html blog-archive.html blog-display.html comic-page.html error-page.html overall.html overview.html search.html layout.css Now when you build your site, your custom templates and styles will be used instead. === Adding blogs Add your blogs into a folder called `_posts`: cat _posts/2025-05-29-my-new-comic.md Hey guys, welcome to my new comic! It's gonna be so sick! Note that the name of your blog post has to include the date and the title, or it'll be ignored. === Customising comics and blogs You can add {Front Matter}[https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/] to set the details of your author notes and blogs manually: --- title: "spooky comic page" date: "2025-03-05 16:20" image: "images/ghost.png" author: "Jane doe" custom: # use yes and no for tickbox settings spooky: yes # use text in quotes for short texts mantra: "live long and prosper" # use indented text for long texts haiku: > Testing webcomics Now easier than ever Thanks to RageRender comments: - author: "Skippy" date: "13 Mar 2025, 3.45 PM" comment: "Wow this is so sick!" --- Your author note still goes at the end, like this! === Adding extra pages You can add extra pages just by adding new HTML files to your webcomic folder. The name of the file becomes the URL that it will use. Pages by default won't be embedded into your 'Overall' layout. You can change that and more with optional Front Matter: --- # Include this line to set the page title title: "Bonus content" # Include this line to hide the page from the navigation menu hidden: yes # Include this line to embed this page in the overall layout layout: Overall --- <h1>yo check out my bonus content!</h1> === Controlling the front page As on ComicFury you have a few options for setting the front page of you site. You control this by setting a <tt>frontpage</tt> key in your site config. - <tt>latest</tt> will display the latest comic (also the default) - <tt>first</tt> will display the first comic - <tt>chapter</tt> will display the first comic in the latest chapter - <tt>blog</tt> will display the list of blog posts - <tt>archive</tt> will display the comic archive - <tt>overview</tt> will display the comic overview (blogs and latest page) - anything else will display the extra page that has the matching <tt>slug</tt> in its Front Matter === Stuff that doesn't work Here is a probably incomplete list of things you can expect to be different about your local site compared to ComicFury: - Any comments you specify in Front Matter will be present, but you can't add new ones - Search doesn't do anything at all - Saving and loading your place in the comic isn't implemented - GET and POST variables in templates are ignored and will always be blank - Random numbers in templates will be random only once per site build, not once per page call == Without Jekyll RageRender can also be used without Jekyll to turn ComicFury templates into templates in other languages. E.g: gem install ragerender echo "[c:iscomicpage]<div>[f:js|v:comictitle]</div>[/]" > template.html ruby $(gem which ragerender/to_liquid) template.html # {% if iscomicpage %}<div>{{ comictitle | escape }}</div>{% endif %} ruby $(gem which ragerender/to_erb) template.html # <% if iscomicpage %><div><%= js(comictitle) %></div><% end %> You still need to pass the correct variables to these templates; browse {this unofficial documentation}[https://github.com/heyeinin/comicfury-documentation] or RageRender::ComicDrop etc. to see which variables work on which templates. == Get help That's not a proclamation but an invitation! Reach out if you're having trouble by {raising an issue}[https://github.com/simonwo/ragerender/issues] or posting in the ComicFury forums.

# foundationallib <h2>Finally, a cross-platform, portable, well-designed, secure, robust, maximally-efficient C foundational library &mdash; Making Engineering And Computing Fast, Secure, Responsive And Easy.</h2> <br> <ul class="features-list"> <li><strong>Enables better Engineering Solutions and Security broadly and foundationally where Software Creation or Development or Script Creation is concerned - whether this be on a local, business, governmental or international basis, and makes things easier - and Computing in General.</strong> Don't Reinvent the Wheel - Use Good Wheels - Be Safe And Secure.</li> <br> <li><strong>Enables a free-flowing dynamic computer usage that you need, deserve and should have, simply because you have a computer. With full speed and with robustness. You deserve to be able to use your computer wholly and fully, with proper and fast operations.</strong></li> <br><li><strong>Enables flexibility and power - makes C accessible to the masses (and faster and more secure) with easy usage and strives to bring people up, not degrade the character or actions of people.</strong> This is a fundamental and unequivocal philosophy difference between this library and many subsections of Software Engineering and the mainstream engineering establishment. For instance, in Python, you cannot read a file easily &ndash; you have to read it line-by-line or open a file, read the lines, then close it. With this library, you can efficiently read 10,000 files in one function call. This library gives power. Any common operation, there ought to be a powerful function for.<br><br>We should not bitch around with assembly when we don't want to; we should also have full speed. Some old "solutions" deliver neither, then culturally degrade programmers because their tools are bad - actually, it just degrades programmers, and gives them bad tools. COBOL is an example ...<br><br>Human technology is about empowerment &ndash; people must fight for it to be empowerment, we don't have time to have AI systems kill us because we want to have bad tools and be weak. We must fight.</li> </ul> <br> <ul> <h2>About Foundationallib</h2> <li>→<strong>Cross platform</strong> - works perfectly in embedded, server, desktop, and all platforms - tested for Windows and UNIX - 64-bit and 32-bit, includes a 3-aspect test suite, with more to come.</li> <li>→<strong>Bug free. Reliable. Dependable. Secure. Tested well.</strong></li> <li>→<strong>Zero Overhead</strong> - Only 1 byte due to the power of the error handling, can be configured will full power.</li> <li>→<strong>Static Inline Functions if you want them</strong> (optional) - Eliminating function call overhead to 0 if you wish, for improved performance.</li> <li>→<strong>Custom allocators</strong> - if you want it.</li> <li>→<strong>Custom error handling</strong> - if you want it.</li> <li>→<strong>Safe functions</strong> warn the programmer about NULL values and unused return values. Can be configured to not compile if not Secure. Optional null-check macros in every library function. Does not use any of <code>"gets", "fgets", "strcpy", "strcat", "sprintf", "vsprintf", "scanf", "fscanf", "system", "chown", "chmod", "chgrp", "alloca", "execl", "execle", "execlp", "execv", "execve", "execvp", "bcopy", "bzero"</code>. You can configure it to never use any unsafe functions.</li> <li>→<strong>Portable</strong> - works on all platforms, using platform specific features (using #ifdefs) to make functions better and faster.</li> <li>→<strong>Multithreading support</strong> (optional), with list_comprehension_multithreaded (accepts any number of threads, works in parallel using portable C11 threads)</li> <li>→<strong>Networking support</strong> (optional), using libcurl - making it extremely easy to download websites and arrays of websites - features other languages do not have.</li> <li>→Very good and thorough <strong>Error Handling</strong> and <strong>allocation overflow</strong> checking (good for <strong>Security and Robustness</strong>) in the functions. Allows the programmer to dynamically choose to catch all errors in the functions with a handler (default or custom), or to ignore them. No need to ALWAYS say "if (.....) if you don't want to. Can be changed at runtime.</li> <li>→<strong>Public Domain</strong> so you make the code how you want. (No need to "propitiate" to some "god" of some library).</li> <li>→<strong>Minimal abstractions or indirection of any kind or needless slow things that complicate things</strong> - macros, namespace collision, typedefs, structs, object-orientation messes, slow compilation times, bloat, etc., etc.</li> <li>→<strong>No namespace pollution</strong> - you can generate your <span style=font-style:normal;><b>own version</b></span> with any prefix you like!</li> <li>→<strong>Relies <span style=font-style:normal;>minimally</span> on C libraries - it can be fully decoupled from LIB C and can be statically linked.</strong></li> <li>→<span style=font-style:normal;><b>Very small</b></span> - 13K Lines of Code (including Doxygen comments and following of Best Practices)</li> <li>→<strong>No Linkage Issues or dependency hell</strong></li> <li>→<strong>Thorough and clear documentation</strong>, with examples of usage.</li> <li>→<strong>No licensing restrictions whatsoever - use it for your engineering project, your startup, your Fortune 500 company, your personal project, your throw-away script, your government.</strong></li> <li>→<strong>Makes C like Python or Perl or Ruby in many ways - or more easy</strong></li> <li>→<strong>Easy Straightforward Transpilation Support</strong> - to make current code, much faster - all without any bloat (See transpile_slow_scripting_into_c.rb). <li><h4>In many cases, there is now a direct mapping of functions from other languages into optimized C.
