Hey all,
I'm a big fan of my plain text and terminal -based applications for things, and I'm looking a calendar system in this spirit. I'd like for a system which:
For the past month or two, I've been using remind, which, while fantastic in features and usage, seems relatively obscure and unsupported, and the file format isn't as human-readable as I'd prefer (take this slightly modified excerpt from my class schedule):
OMIT 2024-11-25 THROUGH 2024-11-29 MSG Thanksgiving Break
REM Tue Thu FROM 2024-08-19 UNTIL 2024-12-20 SKIP AT 09:05 DURATION [1:15] MSG Class 1
REM Tue Thu FROM 2024-08-19 UNTIL 2024-12-20 SKIP AT 10:40 DURATION [0:50] MSG Class 2
REM Tue Thu FROM 2024-08-19 UNTIL 2024-12-20 SKIP AT 12:00 DURATION [1:15] MSG Class 3
I recently heard about calcure, which I'm very curious about, as the interface seems (quite frankly) a bit nicer than wyrd, which is what I've been using for remind---but is there an easy way to interface locally with .ics files on an iPhone?
For my to-dos, I've been pretty happy with the todo.txt format, and with topydo and todooo as frontends for it---surely there is something like this, but for calendar events?
P.S.---Before someone mentions it, yes, I am familiar with org-mode, and I know it perfectly fits my bill, and perhaps it is what I will ultimately turn to---but I'd strongly prefer not to, as I'm currently rebelling against Emacs, and we all know how poorly implemented org is outside of it.
Hi all,
I’m looking for something to automatically tag some old music files I have sitting around. I’ve been working with Picard, but a lot of albums are not in MusicBrainz, and adding them has been a serious PITA. Is there any kind of software that either:
or even:
Appreciative of any advice—I just hope there’s a better way, with how tedious this can be.
EDIT: Just to specify, I’m on NixOS.
For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).
Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.
Hi friends,
I've been using yt-dlp to download a few things off of YouTube Music, and I just wanted to ask a few questions about best practice. Right now, I've just been doing it this way:
yt-dlp -f bestaudio -x
I've found that has usually downloaded .opus files (though, .m4a as of late—anyone know why this is?), but, I was wondering (for the sake of compatibility with different music players), do I lose anything by passing --recode mp3
?
Also, about losing the .opus files, I got this output when I ran yt-dlp -F
on a link:
|ID | EXT RESOLUTION FPS CH | FILESIZE TBR PROTO | VCODEC VBR ACODEC ABR ASR MORE INFO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
233 mp4 audio only | m3u8 | audio only unknown Default
234 mp4 audio only | m3u8 | audio only unknown Default
249 webm audio only 2 | 1.30MiB 64k https | audio only opus 64k 48k low, THROTTLED, webm_dash
250 webm audio only 2 | 1.64MiB 81k https | audio only opus 81k 48k low, THROTTLED, webm_dash
139 m4a audio only 2 | 1019.36KiB 49k https | audio only mp4a.40.5 49k 22k low, m4a_dash
251 webm audio only 2 | 3.03MiB 149k https | audio only opus 149k 48k medium, THROTTLED, webm_dash
140 m4a audio only 2 | 2.64MiB 130k https | audio only mp4a.40.2 130k 44k medium, m4a_dash
Any insights as to why I'm getting that throttling, and why it's downloading m4a instead of opus? Is it even that much of a difference? Is there some option I can pass to yt-dlp to avoid this?
Any help is much appreciated!
Fellas, I'm at my wit's end with this one. I'm trying to set a general rule for window opacity in sway, and then have a few programs excepted from it.
Back on i3
with picom
, I could do this pretty easily by setting activeOpacity
to 0.9, for example, and then specifying additional opacityRules
like this:
"100:class_g = 'mpv'"
"100:class_g = 'Brave-browser'"
Likewise, hyprland
's window rules made it pretty easy to override the general opacity rules as well.
I can't seem to get this on sway
, though; if I set it up like this:
[app_id=".*"] opacity 0.85
[app_id="brave_browser"] opacity set 1
[app_id="librewolf"] opacity 1
it simply sets everything to 0.85.
Currently, I have this:
[app_id="^(?!mpv$|brave_browser$).*$"] opacity 0.85
[app_id="brave_browser"] opacity set 1
[app_id="mpv"] opacity 1
but it is still exhibiting the same behavior (except mpv
also seems to totally disregard any opacity rules whatsoever).
Any help is greatly appreciated---I haven't been able to find anyone else asking or talking about what seems to me like pretty basic functionality.

Hey friends,
I tried Kakoune for the first time recently—I definitely feel like it gets keybindings right. So I just wrapped up configuring Helix to (as far as I can tell) use those bindings (basically, it totally cuts out select mode and makes things much faster). Thought I'd share for anyone else interested.
[keys.normal] H = "extend_char_left" J = "extend_line_down" K = "extend_line_up" L = "extend_char_right" W = "extend_next_word_start" E = "extend_next_word_end" B = "extend_prev_word_start" A-j = "join_selections" A-n = "search_prev" N = "extend_search_next" A-N = "extend_search_prev" [keys.normal.g] e = ["goto_last_line", "goto_line_end"] G = ["select_mode", "goto_file_start", "normal_mode"] [keys.normal.G] H = "extend_to_line_start" L = "extend_to_line_end" E = ["select_mode", "goto_last_line", "goto_line_end", "normal_mode"] [keys.normal.v] t = "align_view_top" b = "align_view_bottom" v = "align_view_center"
Happy editing!

Fellas,
I've been using my current setup on NixOS (Xfce + i3) for about a month now---it's totally great, but I've got some minor things that bother me just a little bit, and I want to see if Wayland does anything for me. I like my combination of a lightweight desktop and tiling windows, so I thought maybe I could do something like MATE + Sway?
Does anyone run anything like this? MATE seems pretty close to Xfce, right?
Happy to hear any thoughts.
Cheers!
