I tried to make foldable mini-zines from the japanese jesus comic: https://files.catbox.moe/9e0inu.pdf These can be printed on 3 sheets of paper and folded like so: https://slrpnk.net/post/9615309 Sadly, due to page count constraints, i could not put the cover on the third part when keeping all pages as is.

There are two alternative versions available:

In both something is missing, choose your favorite.

They were created using the following script, which you should run in a empty directory:

neat! heads up though, which is not standard posix. use realpath for portability.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

You're right that realpath isn't in POSIX, but realpath doesn't do the same thing as which. @django@discuss.tchncs.de is using which to search $PATH.

He could maybe use type, which is similar, and is in POSIX.

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/type.html

$ cd /tmp
$ which pdfjam
/usr/bin/pdfjam
$ type pdfjam
pdfjam is /usr/bin/pdfjam
$ realpath pdfjam
/tmp/pdfjam
$

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

I am switching to command.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

doesn't realpath behave the same if a program is in $PATH? i thought it errored if it couldn't find a file.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah. Doesn't look at $PATH at all.

$ realpath the-secret-to-life-the-universe-and-everything.txt
/tmp/the-secret-to-life-the-universe-and-everything.txt
$ echo $?
0
$ type the-secret-to-life-the-universe-and-everything.txt
the-secret-to-life-the-universe-and-everything.txt: not found
$ echo $?
127
$

It's for doing things like resolving symlinks, and even then, doesn't require that the target exist:

$ ln -s a b
$ realpath b
/tmp/a
$ echo $?
0
$

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 1 day ago

man, i must have hallucinated that manpage. i can't find it now.

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks friend, I'll update it later from my computo.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i mean, considering you need a bunch of tools installed anyway it's probably not a big deal. not like someone is gonna run this on their headless storage vm running openindiana or anything.

[–] undthr@horp.sciops.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

why do you have to single me out like that?

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

You can just download the pdf. ;-)
