How to run autocomplete(JEDI) inside virtualenv in vim

Shubhashish Dixit — Mon, 04 May 2020 05:42:43 +0000

So, I basically switched to neovim and realized that autocomplete does not work when you're inside the virtualenv using the the vim editor
and as cumbersome as it is to find a solution online. I stumbled upon a workaround.

# Make sure you have all the plugins installed
# open your ~/.config/.vimrc or ~/.config/nvim/init.vim with vim and type

:CocConfig

# you may see something like 
{
     "suggest.timeout": 5000,
     "python.pythonPath": "python"
# OR "python.pythonPath": "/usr/bin/python"
}

# the easiest workaround is to change "python.pythonPath": "python"
to "python.pythonPath": "python3"

{
    "suggest.timeout": 5000,
    "python.pythonPath": "python3"
}

# save this file and exit
# activate your virtualenv and check for yourself which python3 is your 
# vim currently using `:!which python3`

# This should definitely work till a permanent solution comes around.

Downloading Anything Off the Internet Without Searching It.

This setup helps you download anything off the internet without even searching for it.

I was just amused by this automation and found it to my utmost satisfaction and

We're gonna setup our SABnzbd++ to download webseries and its upcoming episodes without user interaction. Hence Automating the whole process of searching and downloading.

Setup SABnzbd

$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

$ sudo add-apt-repository multiverse

$ sudo add-apt-repository universe

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/nobetas

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/sab-addons

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

$ sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus python-sabyenc

$ sudo apt-get install par2-tbb

Start SABNzbdplus with

$ sabnzbdplus

Or open a localhost instance

from http://localhost:8080

Let's make ourselves a free account

Vist here https://free-usenet.com/login/

Go to Free Account tab and copy the credentials and use them to login to http://localhost:8080
After Logging in,

click Config. Beneath Config, click General. First you'll find the configuration for the SABnzbd web server. Set bandwidth limit to 1Mbps
In the last config sub-category, Sorting, you can do some pretty neat things with the organization of your downloads. There are a couple of sorting options, You can use this to sort episodes however you'd like. Here's one example:

Sort string:

%sn - Episode %s%0e - %en.%ext

Output:

Show Name - Episode 105 - Episode Name.avi

Now that you've set up SAB, it's time to give it something to download. SAB downloads and processes files via NZBs.

Head over to
https://www.nzbindex.com/search

We'll find RSS feed of our favorite series, movies or any packages that we need to download.

Search for any show or webseries
Click on the RSS Feed option, you'll be redirected to a new tab containing XML version
Copy the URL of the new tab and headover to your http://localhost:8080 and add a new RSS url with the url you copied
Leave and Enjoy

What's a CLI, Alias and how to make one? Aliases every developer uses these days.

Shubhashish Dixit — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 13:48:02 +0000

Newcomers read along the article and learn in the boring detail.

TL;DR below.

Do you use CLI?!

Like come on CLI is awesome, it gets so much sh*t done for us. For the new comers in the CLI world, WELCOME! the road ahead is pretty crappy, you won't like it at first but hey it gives you the "Hackerman feeling" you've all been trying to feel since you were kids.

What's CLI if you'd ask?

Well its a command line program that accepts text input to execute operating system functions..... uggh kill me already.

this thingy right here

Now what the frack is an alias anyway?

You have been using it without knowing it.
If you have written a program you would have encountered, the windows user command prompt, linux users terminal, mac users the terminal app.

Hey Linux and Mac people, ever seen this thingy ~
Let me remind you because I know you have,
cd ~/Downloads/or_some_place_else yeah that ~ is the same as
cd /home/user/Downloads/or_some_place_else

Get It?

~ == /home/users

that exactly right there is an alias.

Alright you'll encounter them a lot.
Let's starting using them anyway and learn how to make our own!!

How to make an alias??

NOTE: Please learn what are shells and which one are you using and which one should you use right here

alias command_name="command";

# open your .<shell>rc file, (meaning .bashrc or .zshrc)
# start typing
# just write alias and then the shell command right along the '=' sign.

alias gp=git pull;

# you guessed it, gp would now act as our normal git pull command. 

# FAQs
# is ; neccessary? yes for now. you'd know when to use it and when not  # on you own.

Can we write absolutely just once command per alias name?

NOOOO, you can write as many as you'd like!!

# here let's make a function where you could make a directory and
# directly change directory to it, which means.. make a directory
# and go into it.

alias mc='func(){ mkdir -p "$1"; cd "$1" }; func '

# FAQs
# could we not do it without a function?
# nope, not if you'd like to keep the directory name according to you.

Now go on and make your own aliases as many as you'd like :)

Go ahead and read all types of aliasing as use them, some of them stand below.

TL; DR

#Aliases

#git add . && git commit 'message' && git push origin master
# usuage: gac 'added files' 
function gac(){
        git add .;
        git commit -m "$1";
        git push -u origin master;
        };

# fast find
alias ff=find . -name $1;

#make a dir and cd into it
alias mc='bar(){ mkdir -p "$1"; cd "$1" }; bar '

# change directories
alias ..= cd ..;
alias ...= cd ../..;
alias ....= cd ../../..;   
alias .....= cd ../../../..;

# smart ls
alias l=ls -lah;

# package manager
# ubuntu people
alias sad='sudo apt-get';
# fedora people
alias df='sudo dnf';
# i use arch btw people
alias pc='sudo pacman';
# am i rich? heheheheheh(laughs in gold), mac people
alias bb='brew install'

#ip address
alias myip="curl http://ipecho.net/plain; echo" 

#public ip address
alias mypip='curl ifconfig.me'

#update
alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'

How to access your laptop from anywhere in the WORLD without portforwarding!

Shubhashish Dixit — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 23:48:19 +0000

Just think how awesome it'd be if you come to your home and see your laptop or any other resource up and working the way you want it to be.

Well that'd be pretty sweet if I get home and see my Spotify playlist playing on my speaker, my laptop up and working and loaded with the ongoing projects with all its virtual environments already loaded.

....all at the end of running a single script.

So get this, I live in a hostel right with a public shared wifi which clearly does not allow me fiddling around with its router settings. Of course, why would they :/

My only solution to get my little thing done is to expose my local web server to the internet.

(safe?! heck yeah!!........eh, just a bit)

So how the heck do you do it anyway?!

One word answer: ngrok :)

Pre requisites needed:

Connect bot for android : download here

openssh for your laptop : sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Firewall people please remember that since we're going to be using port 22 for our little automation. We're gonna need to keep port 22 open. Please use `ufw or uncomplicated firewall` to open the port with

sudo ufw allow 22

Now hop on the train once again when you're done,
Follow along and setup your ubuntu or whatever os you are using. I am personally writing this article on zorin os which again is an ubuntu derivative.

Install ngrok from here
Follow along every step till authenticating your token.
FIRE IT UP!! with,

$ ./ngrok tcp 22

# now look for the line
Forwarding  tcp://0.tcp.ngrok.io:XXXXX -> localhost:22

# the only thing useful to you is 0.tcp.ngrok.io:XXXXX
# where XXXXX is your port number

(Completely Optional)

Hit the terminal again

Make some aliases for easiness with

alias ng="./ngrok tcp 22"

Now open connect bot and make a host

put user@0.tcp.ngrok.io:XXXXX in the very first line.

you can keep post login automation commands but I would not recommend those for then just again a personal preference of mine of if I ever need to do something before running the automated command.

you should get connected now.

FAQs

Do I have to keep the command `./ngrok tcp 22` running?

Yes, sadly. So does the have to be your laptop and the ssh service.

Can't I Suspend my laptop?

No, you may not. Since that would stop the ssh service and of course other services. You may make it go to sleep put it charge and hit your way to life.

Do you and I have a very sad developer's life?

Yes, very!!

Will my port change every time I close the ngrok terminal?

Yes. Just change port number on the connect bot.

I built just the ultimate content aggregator with python3

Shubhashish Dixit — Tue, 19 Nov 2019 00:22:47 +0000

So I finally made my content aggregator on my bucket list with python and it was a fun project, I must say.

So what does it do anyway?

Well for starters it fetches me the

News around my country
Medium articles on programming
Articles on python
......and finally some developer news
oh oh oh and stock exchange news of my favourite stocks

I finally get it emailed to my myself with mutt.

Here's how it looks!

The Python News

The Daily Fresh News

Getting Started on how did I do it?

Well there are a bit of pip packages that are needed to be installed first hand

Then you finally code a bit.

The explanation stands in the comments, give it go!

Now how do you export the output our little script to the text file which in fact we would need for the body of our email

We write a shell script, AHA!!

Oh no wait please install mutt or any other cli email sender

`sudo apt-get install mutt`

Setting up mutt would make you wanna kill yourself, here you go
please don't die, we love you article, a very easy tutorial to setup mutt

cool and we're good to go

yup that's it. the script's that small. oh.

Now just run setup this script at your cloud and send it to yourself before you wake up.
