There are so many ways to encode arbitrary data when all characters you have are e, E, and space. But then maybe I'm just too boring.
@grishka People do it!
@grishka @darius
Can go with Morse Code:
E eeee eE E eEEEEe eee EEe eEe e eE E eeEEe
or binary if you prefer
eEeEeEee eEEeEeee eEEeeeeE eEEEeEee eeEeeEEE eEEEeeEE eeEeeeee eEEeeEEE eEEEeeEe eEEeeEeE eEEeeeeE eEEEeEee eeEeeeeE
For Morse:
$ echo "Your text here" | morse -s | sed 's/-/E/g;s/\./e/g' | fmt -99999
For binary, using the Python REPL:
$ python -q>>> ' '.join(bin(ord(c))[2:].zfill(8).replace('0', 'e').replace('1', 'E') for c in "Your text here")
@ed1conf @grishka is there actually an ed(1) conference because I would like to attend
@darius @grishka
It exists mostly as a Twitter/Masto account for sharing ed(1) tips, tricks, and encounters of ed in the wild.
I'm a little more lax on Masto, also including other CLI-related stuff like the above CLI stuff.
@ckeen @darius @grishka completely ad-hoc :flan_guns:
