Love this kind of tiny, over‑engineered hack—totally impractical, but pure Show HN energy.

Love it! It&#x27;s entirely inapplicable and useless to me but it embodies the spirit of Show HN and what the spirit of programming in the 80s and 90s was.

Haha this is great!<p>What about adding a Make rule to auto-generate the one-liner install from the binary?

The xz step doesn&#x27;t seem to be doing very much, though. It seems the decoded data is currently 278 bytes versus a 298-byte decompressed result.

301 bytes! The base64 one-liner install is a nice flex. Accepting an infinite loop when energy_full doesn&#x27;t exist is peak code golf, perfectly reasonable when every byte counts. Is there a writeup on the assembly somewhere?

I have a use for this: A somewhat portable one-liner to go in my waybar&#x2F;sway&#x2F;i3 configs!
