There is a reason some Civil Engineers wear an iron ring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_RingThe ring serves as a reminder to the engineer and others of the engineer's obligation to live by a high standard of professional conduct.Kipling's calling sought to emphasize the responsibilities of an engineer, affirming their responsibility to "not henceforward suffer or pass, or be privy to the passing of, Bad Workmanship or Faulty Material."

I know a lot of software engineers, and none of them would ever meet that standard of conduct.

By all means, do not feel obligated to write anything substantial. All of my codework is because I taught myself how to do this from reading other people's code and then looking up what all of the words mean in MS docs. I'm sure there is a whole "best practices" bit to this that I am missing, but I don't do enough of this to learn how to do it properly, or keep what I have learned in my head.

So uhh...I worked on this a bit more. The full blocklist was causing problems (as much as we all hate Cloudflare, they and a couple other CDN's are necessary evils) so I made one that just pulls from the categories I wanted and pushes them all to a single blocklist.txt that I can do whatever I want with.
As stated before, I'm a very amateur programmer so I was unable to get it working in a single script. Instead it's done in 2 separate scripts but upon completion of the first one it launches the second.

DON'T USE KAGI.

Why?

- Kagi is run by Vladimir Prelovac, who used to be a major supporter of the violent dictator Slobodan Milošević.

- Kagi isn't a mature organization, in that they don't take responsibility for their users privacy. They don't even consider an email address to be PII.

- Kagi is very pro-AI, having built many AI features into Kagi.

Better programmers than me, show me a less sketchy way to do this. I'm trying to make a bash script that will copy a file to a machine, then ssh into it and run a list of commands as sudo. All of these use password authentication (I know, don't ask), and I cannot login as root. I cannot think of a way to pass the password through the ssh tunnel so that it can be read on the other side. All I've come up with so far is to do this:#!/bin/bash servers=$(cat servers.txt) for cpu in $servers; do ssh -t $cpu << 'EOF' echo "[SUDO PASSWORD]" > ./pass cat pass | sudo -S [all the rest of my commands here] rm ./pass exit

This works, but oh baby is that a sketchy way to do things and there has to be a better solution to this.
