all i wanted to do was get my website online but i xargs: insufficient space for argument
definitely the website of mine that feels most like a deck of cards, by which i mean very many cards, by which i mean it involves a lot of files
when she is all “improve agential modelling” & you click thru and it is just like https://gitweb.ladys.computer/vocab.ladys.computer/commitdiff/7a1a4dbc2e642f0a0d313ccb475144008a3f44d9672f5668e7e0fadff5f9186a
language changes constantly but commit messages are forever
the issue if you were wondering is the fact that my build script replaced every letter in the filenames with five bytes of octal escape code, and i moved the repository to a new location with longer filenames and this was enough to make the result just big enough to no longer fit in the maximum argument size xargs allowed
i did do some minor optimizations, but mostly i fixed the problem by switching to four bytes of octal escape code
if this sounds incredibly cursed to you then get Posix `awk´ to add a mechanism to go from a hexadecimal number to the literal ASCII character it represents that isn¦t just printing an escape code and piping it to `printf´
@Lady It seems like xargs wants to put up quite the argument with you. Or vice versa.
anyway https://vocab.ladys.computer is back up now after months of being asleep
