#Unix / #sed / #awk / #shell ninjas,What's the easiest way to suppress anything more than 2-3 blank lines at a time? I don't want to remove all blank lines, just excessive blank lines.I'm coming up with a simple shell function to strip html tags, because I don't like the way terminal browsers re-flow/wrap the text when you use the -dump|--dump option.The way I'd normally do it is something like:sed 's/$/{lineend}/' |tr -d '\n' |sed -E 's/(\{lineend\}){3,}/\1\1\1/g; s/\{lineend\}/\n/g'…but I figure there's probably a more elegant way?

Solution:lynx -nolist -width=9999 -dump $url |lessI kinda wish there were a terminal browser with a `-dump|--dump` option that *didn't* wrap lines. — #microblogging #MicroToot: 101 characters

@sotolfThat's not a bad idea, but it would repress some formatting, like paragraph breaks. That's why I was thinking to supress anything more than three empty lines.

@sotolfHmm... honestly? Not half bad. 😄Just tried it. Yeah, it actually works better than I thought, since some of the blank lines actually have varying amounts of white space in them, so the varying breaks are pretty well preserved, and the annoying blank regions are pretty well removed:sed 's|<[^/>]*>[^<]*</[^>]*>||g; s|<[^>]*>||g; s/&quot;/"/g' index.html |uniq |less

@JdeBPI feel like the 'cat -v considered harmful' folks would say to just use a shell/awk script, rather than writing a bespoke utility for that. ;)

@solusspider @aminGlad to have you back! 💗I also use @tut, but its last update was in early 2023.Other TUI clients are tooi and mastui.For GUI, I've heard good things about Tuba, but haven't tried it with GtS. There's also Tokodon.For a web client, @orbitalmartian's enafore fork works really well:https://orbitalfore.vercel.app/

@samd @amin @orbitalmartianI have my own front-ends for apt search and alt show that have more efficient output and faster results, respectively.

@GrahamFlusterReaching peak orange tabbiness... ;)I miss my orange boy. My (non-orange) tabby girl is sweet, but prefers to be adored with restraint, or entirely from a distance. 😄@mirabilos

@wil @annaecook @mirabilosSome dingbat is publishing AI-vomited books about women falling in love with powerful, self-obsessed CEOs in my name on Amazon. You can look them up, just search on Lex Luthor's shop for "R.L. Dane."How do you like them apples? 🤣

The modern web is going great, example number 32,767:I go to my local city's parks and recreation site and click on the button for the class catalog, and it gives me a PDF of the catalog, except...It's NOT a PDF. There is a PDF of it, somewhere, but what I get is a bloated, slow JS view of the pdf hosted on some hellsite called fliphtml5 dot com.I start looking for a way to download the stupid thing, and the best I can find is a downloader site which downloads it and serves you up a PDF... except... the PDF is basically just a stack of JPEG screenshots of whatever fliphtml5 barfs up, and somehow, even better, it's only the first four pages.I guess I'm going to keep the paper version of the catalog, then.#WebPoopPointOh #Gripe #ThisIsFine

So tired of seeing backwards text in videos taken with selfie cameras. This is such an easy fix, do phone manufacturers just not care?? — #microblogging #MicroToot: 135 characters
