My favourite would be 'sudo apt-get autoupgrade'. It does not exist, but would upgrade everything, right now, no questions asked. I wonder why 'sudo unattended-upgrade -v' does not do an unattended upgrade when run. ps.

I have found Leaf [1] to be a simple and plain spaced repetition program. It has very few features compared to Anki. It does not have a large ecosystem of stack sharing, it's mostly aimed for those who write their own decks. You can co

Those pta example files you linked, marttt, really make the case for this software. It looks simple, transparent, auditable, versionable and unixy. Dpifke, beancounter looks nice, big and well tought out. I bookmarked the docs/ to have

Nice! Static binaries generated by Go are indeed large, even if the source code here is under 30 lines with support to some additional minor features (US and Finnish day names, command line help, optional week headings, day counts and param

SimpleTask Cloudless has been my favourite todo.txt app for Android. Unfortunately, SimpleTask is in low maintenance mode [1], and does not work well in my setup. According to mpcjanssen: "The suspending of the applications by Google #

Based on the man page, calendar(3) would not suit my use well. It's quite different from calendar.txt. But I'm happy to hear that you use it. I installed it just to read the man page: """ LANG=C

Yes [1]. In the unlikely event you need a calendar after 2038-01-19 w03 Tue, the program can generate you templates [2] for hundreds of years [3]. [1] https://terokarvinen.com/2021/calendar-txt/calendartxt-gener...

Mdq seems just what I've been looking for. I have yet to test it. Based on documentation, you can mdq for the chapter whose heading is "## Foobar"; or extract all lists in chapter "### Xyzzy". Thanks, abound! Update

I use a template [1] that includes week numbers. With some traditional GUI calendar software, I was often hunting and miscopying week numbers. Some software also had a weird (non ISO-8601) idea of week numbers. In case you need calendar.txt

So many tempting options... Can you recommend a tool and open your accounting workflow, marttt? Are there any pain points, like filling tax forms or handling travel paperwork?

I recommend https://syncthing.net/ Works with all file formats, from photos and movies to text files. Cross platform: Linux, Windows, Android, probably also Mac and BSD. Update: And it's end-to-end encrypted and free,

It's unfair to computers how well paper planners worked. Among with todo.txt, paper calendars were an inspiration and a benchmark for writing calendar.txt.

I especially like your 'mgrep', please do write it! I have considered similar tools that make use of MarkDown syntax, I feel that there are many tools waiting to be written here.

As you guessed, roland35, I do track my calendar.txt in git. One main benefit from git is also to work as an insurance against (user) errors, and make the whole process much more transparent. When I have used calendars with automatic synchr

Interesting ideas for formalization and metadata, jeroendh. Some comments on those: Calendar.txt is indeed a personal calendar. So feel free to violate the spec as much as you need or want to. My main use for calendar.txt is editing with t

Such an alarm system would be interesting (and even sounds feasible), even though I don't use reminders myself.

I use a template [1] that has the dates (including week numbers) there already. That way, I only need a text editor. In my work, similar events happen on the same week numbers in different years. The importance of week numbers probably depe

For reminders and other automated actions, pydry suggested "orgzly revived with org mode"; and kruffalon suggested 'remind'. I have not tried those, but they might be better options for notifications and reminding tha

You're quite right, oneeyedpigeon. The main audience of calendar.txt are people who always have terminal open, and who are using grep, sort and similar all the time anyway. I use +plustags for multiday and recurring events. So for each

I can recommend todo.txt, as I've been using it for years. Todo.txt was one of the inspirations to create calendar.txt. It also works nicely together with calendar.txt for me. I can 'grep' trough both to see all todos and eve

My students Dianne, Pauli, Mikko and Juho tried [1] this. They wrote a blog [2] and a git repository [3]. It's not a ready to use product, but an exploration and learning journey to using machine learning for identifying signals. Multi

Author of calendar.txt here. I use scripts to pick whatever information I need. For example, I have a command called 'today'. It shows X next days of my calendar and summary of next X weeks. Marymkearney, you could write a similar

If you enjoy command line and TUI, I've collected some offline resources as 'ks'. Plain text takes very little space. Only 75 MB for MDN (Mozilla Developer Network), Devhints.io, tldr, Go by Example, some OWASP and some docs

Nice work, chootisk. I can see our systems are quite similar, with some adaptations to preferences. For me, week numbers and weekdays are what I think about, and dates (2022-06-01) is what I need for communicating with others. Your syntax h

Can't help but agree with the great minds, tux2bsd. Do you have a web page for your calendar?

Calendar.txt uses the ISO-8601 standard, where weeks start on Monday. But you should use whatever works for you. If you want to use the US system, you can easily adapt to this. The short Go code for generating the template is on calendar.t

I'm using todo.txt and calendar.txt together (but as two separate files). I've chosen some conventions for calendar.txt to work smoothly with todo.txt, such as @contexts and +tags. They work nicely together. To check for all calen
