gcalcli VS void-packages

gcalcli

I use Thunderbird, but also gcalcli (https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli) for quickly viewing daily agendas and adding events in the terminal. It has a nice “quick add” function that lets you add event using a natural language interface — you can type something like “Lunch with Amy next Wednesday at 2 PM at Trevino’s” and it will parse out the event name, time, and location. Google Calendar used to have something like this but removed it in a UI update.

gcalcli: really just a CLI interface to Google Calendar, so bringing it to mobile would basically involve re-inventing Google Calendar.

I had to compile gcalcli, which eventually got merged in the repos. I also compiled Vorta and Grace.

gcalcli - Google Calendar Command Line Interface

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

So I have an app which uses the gcalcli tool on Ubuntu. It integrates with my personal google calendar by using my own personal google cloud project with the calendar api enabled, and I provide it a desktop oauth token and secret. I run it as a testing project. Until now, it’s been working fine, but from today, I keep getting an error message on the oauth screen saying that it’s trying to access my sensitive data and it’s been blocked. As much as I’m confident I haven’t changed anything, I could well have.

gcalcli: terminal interface for Google Calendar.

Yeah; it is 500. But it works for me with the `gcalcli`[1] — a Python command-line tool that uses GCal API. (I'm assuming it's not serving me stale data.)

I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).

I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

Linux Void

My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".

Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]

From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]

In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.

Which is the common-sense thing to do.

Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.

In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

So I was about to configure a new Archlinux build on my PC and came across Void Linux. I had already read about it a year ago but never researched it in depth. I know that is a Linux distribution made from scratch, with a different package manager and so on. Void Linux users or people who have tried it, what are your thoughts on it? Do you think the PM is easy to use? what about updates and bugs? what desktop or Tilling Window Manager do you use? could you tell me about it?
