@k4ph I did a period without X, and that one - fbgs, in particular - was useful for viewing LaTeX-generated docs.
-
@k4ph It doesn't take up much space. If you go no-X, you can run the OS on a minimal fraction of the needed space.
-
@k4ph What do you use it for? What kind of tools do you use?
-
@k4ph Didn't actually know Tudu. I used to use HNB, which is a good notebook, but I see the point of online. Used Calcurse, too.
-
@k4ph You're mixing things up now (cli and graphics). Try simple text files, they rock!
-
@k4ph That came out wrong, I mean all my apps are cli in Xmonad except Chromium, so it's kinda the same thing...
-
-
@mjjzf Does Mutt-NG not allow for that?
-
@mo6020 No idea. I have been using Claws for ages, but it annoys me it only processes one process at a time, so it hangs occasionally.
-
@mo6020 Huh. It actually looks like something along those lines. Never seen that before. Now, to consider writing a .muttrc...
-
@mjjzf I've not implemented it on my boxen yet, it looks to be just what I want, but I've not got round to it yet...
-
@mjjzf Have you ever checked out Alpine? I actually liked that a bit more than mutt
-
@k4ph That'd be sweet thanks, I need to get my gmail in there as a secondary account and sort out a folderlist, etc...
-
@k4ph Thanks, It's ed AT dontfightthefuture.com - I'll pick it up when I get home (stupid work proxy blocks IMAP)
-
@k4ph poppler package includes pdftotext utility: extracts text from pdf files into a .txt file, could that be of use to you?
-
@k4ph indeed, its a text only solution
-
@k4ph Did you tried dwb browser ? It is webkit based , and works with vi keybindings .
-
@michaelsandahl I used Pine for a while, but there were things where Alpine seemed a bit more clever. Just need a bit of setup handholding!
-
@k4ph Explain how pdf can be cli then.
-
@andermetalsh bti
-
@k4ph So you can view graphics in cli? Lets end this convo here.
-
@mjjzf I used it for quite awhile in a Screen session on Arch. I found a good tutorial online for setting it up, but it escapes me now. 1/2
-
@mjjzf It seems it was easier to set up and use multiple mailboxes.
-
@andermetalsh Surprised nobody has mentioned !identicurse here, it's all the rage among the identi.ca !cli aficionados! :-)
