Terminal Challenge 2024
All of this is from the .terminal-24 file I'd posted in preparation for this self imposed insanity I'd invited the rest of the Ctrl-C Community to join in on. This is mostly just me fishing for more options to try out, as I feel my own efforts last year kinda fell short of |what I wanted to accomplish.
This section will be update Septerber 15th or so with the results of each effort.
Things I want to improve on
Terminal/TUI ftp client
MC works, and works well enough, but I feel like I could do better.
File Managment
Midnight Command has served me admirably, yet I have to wonder if there is better out there. Something that can do either just that little bit more, or useless resources, or is easier to navigate.
Learning Vi or emacs
I like Micro. Micro gives me the sort of keyboard commands i'm used to using for opening/closing/save and formatting. It, however, does not have the same feature set that something like Vi or emacs offers, and I probably should learn something more robust.
Tiling Window Manager
This one is purely because I want to try slimming down. Both because my desktop is twelve years old and I have no real plans in upgrading if I can help it, and I am curious on just how little computing is needed for modern day to day.
tmux
See above, but also because I want to be able to detatch from an active session that has, say, irc going and come back on either my desktop, phone, or whatever and not have any loss of what I was doing. Plus as above, see how little computer I
need, and having something that can take a text enviroment and have everything from wifi, to bluetooth, to doc editing, to music, and so on going? That's cool.
MultiMedia
I know in a pure TUI/command line images much less video isn't really possible, but what a terminal window? What's possible there? Is it worth persuing or is it just a party trick? if nothing else, I'd like a good way to play my music, or internet radio, or podcasts from the command line.
Linux Terminal Resources
Announcement Post
A small guide for setting up Alpine for Gmail.
My Introduction to Micro as my text editor of choice for the proceedings.
More to come as I figure things out!
