VB is globohomo

statically typed languages are great

@Legalize huh?

lol for that, you have no excuse to try out java @Vesdii

it took me all night to get the bones and tendons of this idea out onto a shell script

whats the idea? and why would you use a shell script for it lol?

easier to write than a python script cuz i dont wanna encase everything in a fuckin function

so my linux machine is my laptop and i want to be able to have it on at all times so tasks and bots can run all the time

you technically dont have to with python

automation eh? 💤

so i bought a pack of smart plugs....

and even if you had to wrap it with a function, its only 2 more lines

function definition and a line calling it

but again, you can just write python with out any function declarations.

im gonna use this to toggle the smart plug

(work in progress, got some shit to move around)
```
upower -i $(upower -e | grep BAT) | egrep 'state|percentage' > .power-temp
cut -c 26- .power-temp | sponge .power-temp
STATE=`head -1 .power-temp`
PERC=`tail -1 .power-temp | cut -c -2`
case $STATE in
charging)
echo charging
;;
discharging)
echo discharging
;;
fully-charged)
echo fully-charged
;;
esac
if [ $PERC -le '20' ]; then
echo '<=20%'
fi
rm .power-temp
```

ew

ikr

it's aids

why write that then?

cuz i didnt know how to do it efficiently with python

people keep telling me that but idk how

does the smart plug have an api?

think so

it works with IFTTT and Alexa n shit so i assume so

start there

well i dont have the plug yet so ill redesign it when i get it

have my laptop charger only be receiving power when the laptop needs to be charged

cronjob will check every 5 minutes for if it's 20% or under
