Recently found out about ouch. Found it really useful for decompressing files in the terminal as I can’t seem to remember all the flags for tar, gzip, zip, rar and all the rest one may encounter which all seem to use different syntax.

Link returns “This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://files.catbox.moe/8g7agm.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”.

It seems to be working for me.

Do you have a github or codeberg link?

I didn’t think anyone would have interest in it so i haven’t uploaded it. After new year’s I could clean it up a bit and host it on github.

Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

I think it may be e a bit too early for that. At the current state it supports dynamic fetching of the feed in the background (quite buggy), paginating and displaying long posts and displaying top level comments only. At the current state it’s quite enough for me to enjoy a few (more like a few dozen) posts, but definitely not anywhere close to “awesome”.

That made me laugh so hard. Are there really no clients for linux mobiles?

Thanks, I’ve only heard of sixel, but never really read into it. Sounds promising.

I went with chafa as it’s terminal agnostic and supports various modes.

Then again, I’m not really sure a tui frontend needs high quality image rendering. Earlier I even considered going completely 1bit braille or just ASCII just so that the image doesn’t take all of the focus at the expense of the post body.

As mentioned by another commenter, I believe opening the full image in an external viewer is a much better solution, not to mention easier to implement.

Async programming is really quite hard to wrap your head around. Currently I’m mostly struggling with excessive memory consumption.

There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.

It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.

Uploaded it to catbox.moe and then just pasted the link in the url field when creating the post. Hope that helps :)

Thank you, that’s so kind! I’ll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I’ll probably give the images a go.

To be honest, I’m hoping this project doesn’t get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.

While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I’m really happy that I’m not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.

I did, but i was going for something really small and simple, more like an ebook reader than a webui.

It may be a bit minimal for your taste, but I wholeheartedly recommend Alpine. I’m currently running AdGuard and opentracker on a RaspberryPi 1B with Alpine edge, and the experience has been rock solid.

That’s so cool. What was you playthrough like? I believe the first time I got to the border I only had a dog with a shotgun left.

I’m not completely sure about it, but I believe both TF2 and HL2 are native ports that Valve did themselves. Could be the reason.

I’m glad you’ve liked it, and I hope it runs nicely from HDD.

If you decide to keep Budgie I highly recommend the window shuffler extension that helps with arranging windows.

Yes, I am. Depending on whom you base your ideas on what art is you can defend the case that art has two main components - its conceptual (the political or other ideas of the artist) and its perceptual part (the craftsmanship).

In this case the conceptual part of the work is completely removed, leaving only the craftsmanship. I see no problem in sharing this, and I see no possible slippery slope here.

In short, just because someone is a fascist does not mean they can’t be a good craftsman, and should not be seen and analyzed. Take for example Adolf Dassler’s Adidas.

Quite frankly, I would also love to see what the original cartoon looks like. Not because I would agree with it, but because I want to know how extreme rightwingers represent me (or us, I guess). I want to know how their propaganda looks like. And I personally believe we should all know and care about it, if we want to combat it successfully.

I never knew why people need to conflate the personality or political opinions of the artist with the art they make.

In my opinion, even if the artist is a terrible human being they can still produce some good art. And even if the art they produce is crap, it can still prove valuable, as it can be parodied, modified, transformed or mocked.

I’m mainly using Budgie lately, and its quite fast, even on older hardware. I would say it feels faster than cinnamon (and much more pleasant to work with imo), but unfortunately it’s very unstable.

If you just want to play around with it, I highly recommend some arch based distro (because you can find plenty of obscure TUI apps in the AUR) with a window manager (be it tiling like Qtile or stacking like Openbox).

If you want something preconfigured, I’ve recently found instantOS, which seems to work fine for that usecase.

I use this small laptop mostly for ebooks (using the excellent epy) and music, using one ot the TUI YouTube frontends.

What would you use this laptop for?

I’ve dealt with similar hardware, using Qtile over a Manjaro base, but had to mostly use CLI/TUI apps. Anything related to web browsing is a pain.
