  when your life is confined to SSH
  - jll29 2y ago
    "confined to" is an association I have with sluggy Web GUIs, not with ssh sessions... The tool seems a great idea (I was equally shocked that it's all Bash scripts, and expected Rust), but calling it -- with bash ./dline -a on MacOS X -- I get plenty of syntax errors.

        You need 4.0 or higher, per https://github.com/jazz-it/dline/issues/7 https://github.com/jazz-it/dline/issues/7

      "bash in macos" is limited to 3.2.57, a 2007-ish release back when bash wasn't GPL3 licensed. I am more surprised to think that people still use that and think it is evergreen.

  When you are forced to use ma outlook but you only want to work with your calendar and not be distracted to emails, or notification, or emojis. Some people just need to glance at their schedule to make a decision or plan. Overall these type of cmd line tools like taskwarrior are for folks who want one thing at that time and wish to take the shortest, least cognitive overhead path to getting that thing/info. Same reason I use tz instead of browsing to a site with Timezone calculators. Same reason I use vifm to find and edit files. Some people like to use devices buried in bling. Some people don't.

  Python subprocess scheduling system in my case

Why not? I'm thinking I might prefer this to Google calendar which is does way more than I need. Plus I don't like using a mouse if I don't have to. To be able to grep for meetings would be great. Much faster than clicking around for a while in search of one and not knowing whether it was deleted or just moved and you haven't found it yet.

  Try `dline -b` > `View` which triggers the `fzf` filtering.
