I am trying to get more comfortable with the #CLI.  Tinkering around with the #RpiZ2w is making it fun and keeps the stakes low if I mess up.

Currently I have #Tmux, #MidnightCommander, #Pyradio, #Hyfetch, #Btop and more installed.  If you know of other fun #TUI based programs (that do not need a lot of compiling power), holler at yo boi!

A bit about #Tor usage, if you ever wanted to know.

I have a couple of working computers and a home one and absolutely routinely, as of now, use Tor for NAT traversal to connect to them remotely via #ssh :

#torify ssh <[email protected]>

The connection has rather higher latency than a normal one, but still perfectly usable in the text mode: basic #bash, #MidnightCommander . Forget about GUI, though.

Moreover, it allows me to have a local #Mercurial store (for historical reasons I am not a big fan of #git - skip your disapproval, I am finally not a professional programmer). And last but not least, a version control system is good for writing of scientific articles --- especially if you use #LaTeX, but for a #LibreOffice -based process will do as well. Say,

torify hg push

@alina personally I can also recommend good #CLI tools that just work.

And many more.

if like me your favorite GUI file manager is #Thunar I learned a handy trick from @itsfoss newsletter, hit 'F3' and you have a split screen file explorer similar to my favorite CLI file explorer #MidnightCommander

Why did i forgot #mc ( #midnightcommander )? Such a great Tool if you have to deal with lots of unknown directory structures (aka ThirdParty archives) and need to move or mix and merge arbitrary filebases. Surely didnt used it since 10 Years but my fingers still know all the shortcuts and command keys. Crazy...

@debacle Thanks for suggesting #poezio. It supports #OMEMO, and theme-wise, it will fit right in next to #mutt / #neomutt, #jed, and #midnightCommander. 😻

@_DigitalWriter_ Der #MidnightCommander ist nicht nur eine schöne Erinnerung an alte Zeiten unter DOS, sondern auch ein wirklich gutes Tool. Ich bin ja sehr gerne auf der Kommandozeile unterwegs, aber Du hast völlig Recht -- Dateimanagement mit den Tool macht einfach Spaß!

Viele Aufgaben - z. B. Docker-Stuff - erledige ich zunehmend via SSH. Im Unterschied zu langjährigen Terminal-Linux-Leuten bin ich ja eher der Desktop-Typ und habe die vielen Parameter für Dateioperationen nicht parat.

Daher installiere ich immer kurz Midnight Commander, obwohl ich nur 1 % der vielen Funktionen nutze. Aber gerade Dateien verschieben usw. gelingt mir dadurch besser.
