🎮 🐧 cli ?? 🐧 🎮

It's again this time of the year where we want to try to relax a little more. So today i decided to showcase something which works really well maybe with a blanket around you , a nice coffee or tea and maybe already some music on your ears. "Last christmas .." ( 🤣 sorry for the reminder )

During my mastodon life this week i stumbled across an article about https://stockfishchess.org/ and i thought let's check out what is available and use stockfish and holy cow i stumbled over https://github.com/nickzuber/chs 💝

chs --help << short help
chs --play-black << start with black pieces
chs --level=[1-8] << difficulty

So back to the introduction grab yourself a nice drink good music and make yourself comfortable for a round of chess on your utf-8 configured console.

You might probably want this article https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-notation ;)

😊🐧 weekly cli tool 🐧😊

so while i was reading many toot's i also stumbled about some podcast's. Of course i could now add them to my local mopidy instance and use any mpd frontend (for example -> ncmpcpp) to hear it. But i wanted something smaller , something where Yank from tut add the rss feed directly ( ☹ please keep rss alive ☹ )
Anyway i stumbled over two interesting projects:

a.) castero https://github.com/xgi/castero
b.) shellcaster https://github.com/jeff-hughes/shellcaster

The big advantage which has castero over shellcaster is that castero has an integrated audio player while shellcaster rely on an external player.

... Sadly #edited / #removed ...

I guess you all can figure out which better suites your needs and as always have fun.

Edited: it seems autoplay is just not always stable on castero (removed the part in the toot)

#linux #cli

more cli ?

I like to stay informed specially since my tv is turned of 99.9% of the year. So that's why i use mastodon and mostly repost things i found interesting. But i noticed that a few of you had a blast when discovering #tut ( https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut ) a linux cli mastodon client.

So i decided to show you another too i stumbled across during the last weeks.
Over the years i bought alot of computing ebooks thru humble bundle. Now i wanted to read them while also following their examples. So you open up your #vim / #neovim and than you open up a second program to read the books.... 🤔
So i checked around and found (epr) https://github.com/wustho/epr/.
epr does exactly what it should -> a constant well readable flow of text for epub ebooks. No more pdf2html or pdf2txt which compromise on formating when you watch it in lynx or as text in vim. All i can say check it out.

since epr doesn't have a man page -> epr --help

PS: till the vim pro's make epubs native readable in vim 😊
