Here's my take. I tend to not like to use temporary variables in shells, substituting them with piplines whenever possible.

lagrange --tab-url |

sed 's|^gemini://|https://proxy.vulpes.one/gemini/|' |

xargs wallabag add · 3 years ago

@skyjake : Good to know! Thanks :)

@isoraqathedh : I'm not a bash expert but I'm happy to put an example your way if you give me the exact command you would have in mind :) · 3 years ago

Very cool. I would have written it as a pipeline, with the proxy URL rolled into the substitution (and swapping s/// with s||| - you can do that!) and then an xargs to throw the argument into the wallabag command. To me that's a bit clearer what you're doing. · 3 years ago

Nifty! One thing to note about Lagrange's --tab-url option, though: since it uses IPC, at the moment it doesn't work in Flatpak builds due to sandbox restrictions. Flatpak requires all IPC to use D-Bus and that has not been implemented yet. · 3 years ago
