There was wvdialconf I can recall it right. On using old software because of inertia or better features: - MPlayer/MPV. Simple keys, click on the file and it just plays it. That's it. - Pidgin with plugins. - Mutt+lynx (for HTML email) with mbsync and msmtp. Batched email for important stuff when you must preserve your data against inferior solutions such as Discord. - Lynx on gopher/http heavy sites calling external video and audio viewers. Good when bw is scarce, and gopher://gopherddit.com, gopher://hngopher.com and gopher://magical.fish have tons of services to use. - wpa_passphrase+wpa_supplicant daemon+wpa_gui if you are in love with mice. - find/xargs/rsync/moreutils/vidir/rclone: editing zillions of filenames in place with an editor and vidir, sync them, rename them... hell in Explorer, a piece of cake under Unix where you can use your favourite editor in a folder tree mounted with rclone and then batch-replace your whole remote directory subtree as if it was a text file. Old concept, science fiction for today's youngsters: rclone mount yourcloudremoteshare: ./here EDITOR=gedit vidir ./here/foo/bar/ And that's the simplest method. With find you don't even need to spawn an editor, with a command after exec you can run for instance find ./here -type f -iname "*.pdf" -exec evince {} \; to open the evince PDF viewer on all the PDF filenames you find in your remote.
