#AskFedi, Is there a way I can send messages through #DeltaChat from a script, so that I could use it for sending myself notifications (e.g., reminders) from a separate Delta account?

After a few years of using event-driven #terminal workflows, I decided to make a #video covering tools and techniques that work for me. Hope someone finds it useful.

- File watching: entr, watchexec, inotifywait
- Desktop notifications: dunstify, notify-send
- Process signals: trap, pkill, USR1/USR2

I'm looking for some nerdy/niche assistance. I want to start printing my own weekly agendas based on the current state of my online calendar. Sure it will change, but I would love to be able to sit down on a Sunday evening and review with paper & pencil to settle into the coming work week.
