It's true lol. I had to install Docker for teaching on my old drive and that instantly maxed out my root partition even when I kept deleting intermediate builds and unused data. Now I have this fun paranoia for all apps :)
just fyi I moved Discord, GIMP, Obsidian, and OBS over to flatpak and my root partition jumped from 19GB to 23GB. I'm kinda sad about it tbh
I was there on TeamSpeak over a decade ago. It was good for its time
It looks like you're right. Uninstalling the deb and then installing the flatpak consumed an additional 2GB on my root, but I have a handful of other electron-based apps that are mildly obnoxious snaps, and migrating them might help amortize that cost
Oh that's great! I'll switch to the flatpak tonight then
I haven't tried flatpacks yet. How do they compare to, say, snaps in terms of storage/redundancy?

taco bell had me covered even when I had nothing
It's a way to force an 18 year old into a life of indentured servitude under the guise of "financial assistance" by simply clicking accept on a couple online forms, only for 40% of them to end up working jobs that don't require a college degree in the first place.
Thanks for the suggestion! I use emacs, although only from the terminal via emacs-nox
or emacs-snapshot-nox
packages. I haven't used orgmode other than some testing related to other comments, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. My main criterion is I want everything right in front of me when I open the terminal and start working, not in a separate program or interface.
10 minutes? bro I've sat unattended in the room 40 minutes before
You're welcome homie ❤️ I just want to make sure I let everybody know how much I appreciate the awesome community
I heard it in a coffee shop just the other day. Several customers and employees complained and the manager skipped the song all in about 30 seconds
no problem! I appreciate it!
Thanks for suggesting khal! I actually just stumbled across it while trying to find something that does exactly what I want. My only complaint with khal is that I want a todo list with khal as well. I have a tendency to forget important things, and it would be great if I could throw things onto a list that doesn't have times or dates, but gets displayed regardless. Do you know if that's possible with khal? For example, either above or below my schedule on the right column I'd have a todo list.
Sorry, I forgot to get back to this. It looks like it's possible to get something that fits better with the ?2n
option. See https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/issues/151
I really love the interface. That's like exactly what I want, minus the TUI aspect
Can I add reminders/todo from the command line, or do I have to enter the TUI to do so?
I'll check it out! Thanks!
Recommendations for terminal-based planning/todo apps?
Hi all, I'm working on setting my terminal to display different tasks and information when I login. I have problems with attention and I frequently forget to do important things, so I really need to do this to help myself. I'm aware some of this will cause my terminal to be more slow when I first login. That's fine even if it takes an additional second to login. I have a rough mockup attached in the picture. The mockup uses the pr -Tm
command to display my calendar side-by-side with my schedule and todo list, but here's where I'm at:
- Calendar is automated by
ncal -C
- Weather is automated using
curl wttr.in/New%20York?0
- Schedule is just a text file at the moment
- Todo is just a text file at the moment
I'm looking to also automate my schedule and todo from the command line, but I don't want to use Google-based tools or tools that connect to an external server in general. I'm looking for terminal-based tools where I can add events to my schedule with descriptions, times, and dates (support for recurring events is a bonus, but maybe not required), and then fetch my daily schedule and print it. Does anybody know a good way to handle this part? I could setup a simple database to store and interact with my schedule, but I feel like there has to already be a good tool like that available. However, my searches keeps pulling up things that aren't quite what I want...
Thanks for reading this! I appreciate any advice you have for the Linux side of things.

YSK How to get a weather report in your terminal
Lately I've been obsessed with moving everything that people typically use as widgets into my bashrc. Today I discovered wttr.in, which is an open source project on Github at https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in
Usage is almost trivial. To get weather in your terminal, simply curl the URL with your city after the forward slash. If you live in New York City, use
curl 'https://wttr.in/New%20York'
Now, if that's too much bloat to have covering your precious terminal real estate, instead use
curl 'https://wttr.in/New%20York'?0?A?u
which will truncate the curl to only today's weather.

Origin of the name Gekinzuku
(attached image: our "About Us" page from the website in 2010 explaining the origin of the name, written by Kori I believe)
Kori, our resident weeb at the time, was always sending random stuff in Japanese in chat despite none of us understanding anything she was saying. When it finally came time and we wanted to come up with a name for the growing group and site, I said "let's do that Japanese word for 'games' that Kori keeps posting... Gekinzuku!"
Everybody thought that was a cool enough word/reason, so that's how the name was born. It's nothing close to ゲームス, but it somehow has a relatively one-to-one translation to the Japanese alphabet, ゲキンズークー. The use of ー characters is to bring the right spoken emphasis across to Japanese for "zu" and "ku", but disclaimer I'm still not a Japanese expert ;)
The group isn't nearly as big as it was in during the 2008-2011 timeframe, but we still have 5-10 active members that we stay in touch with, all united under our common misunderstanding of words posted in a language we didn't even speak.
YSK how to get your IP address from the command line
While it's easy to get an IP address from popular websites such as whatismyip.com, it's not often friendly to a context where you might need to get your IP address for command line tools.
In order to grab your IP address via the command line, there's a page on a site called ipinfo.io/ip which only contains body content corresponding to your IP address. The easiest way to fetch that data is with the curl
command (should be available on both Windows and Linux).
curl ipinfo.io/ip
It may also be beneficial to add this to your .bashrc
or .aliasrc
on Linux systems with something like
alias myip="curl ipinfo.io/ip"
Now you have an easy way to grab your IP address from the command line!

How to install a Linux terminal on your phone
Here's how to download and install a Linux terminal via the Termux app on your phone.
Why should you install a Linux terminal on your phone? It allows you to easily ssh, code, and even host webapps from the palm of your hand. Those are my own use examples, but the possibilities are limitless.
Note: The Termux app on the Google play store is out of date and doesn't have the correct permissions to work properly.
- Install an alternative app store. You may need to briefly modify permissions to install an app after downloading it via Firefox/Chrome/Brave. I used F-Droid
- Install Termux through the app store. You'll know it's the right one if the app page links back to termux.com and the termux/termux-app Github. You may again need to grant permissions to your alternative appstore to install it.
- Once you have Termux installed, you'll first want to run
pkg upgrade
in the terminal to update all the packages. Termux uses thepkg
package manager, which wrapsapt
, to avoid doing dangerous things. - At this point, you've done all the hard setup. If you want to access your phone's local storage, you can mount it by executing
termux-setup-storage
(see the wiki). - Do you want to run python? Ruby? Npm (not sure why this link is broken)? For all those details and more, check out the Termux wiki.
