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?

 

Can't I go one week without having to uninstall and reinstall the damn deb file?

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.

Definitely RE for me. I couldn't sleep after the first time I saw a crimson head. The sharks were terrifying too

those damn secret lvl100 JRPG bosses

 

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:

  1. Calendar is automated by ncal -C
  2. Weather is automated using curl wttr.in/New%20York?0
  3. Schedule is just a text file at the moment
  4. 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.

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.

 

Here's the command if you want to run it too. You need the imagemagick package
