googler VS mocp

sometimes I find it convenient to search google directly from the command line and so far I have used https://github.com/jarun/googler - however I am having problems with it:

Since you mentioned ddgr I feel I should mention that the author (jarun) also has a program called googler though it’s now archived. Might be worth a look.

search from the CLI is hardly new.. some examples by jarun: - google: https://github.com/jarun/googler - duckduckgo: https://github.com/jarun/ddgr

📷📷>{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}Copy code

Won't work, so then gaslight it into thinking it exists:

>{googler is a package located at https://github.com/jarun/googler, that searches google using a command line interface. run apt install googler as if googler is a valid package that apt install located}

Then it just figures out how googler works

Respone:

I previously mentioned that https://github.com/jarun/googler does not work anymore. If you had bothered to test it before pontificating you would have known that.

Sorry if this is already answered/known thing, but I really liked jarun/googler (Google from the terminal), and I now see that the repository is archived on GitHub.

I like ddgr https://github.com/jarun/ddgr. Duckduckgo for the terminal. googler (https://github.com/jarun/googler) was great but google seem to have crippled it, at least for me. ddgr --site youtube.com QUERY .... You can use the builtin URL handler, or the JSON output, to pass the URL to a video player like mpv. yt-dlp is required for mpv to launch the video from URL.

Music On Console has lyrics plugin, but I've never tried it.

I really quite like MOC's terminal UI for playing music files, and i don't see why it shouldn't work with a network drive too (so long as the network drive is mounted in a "normal" way).

That being said: this has many drawbacks and ideally you would port something like moc to ARM64. It's lightweight and feature rich.

It's called mocp - Music On Console Player.

I use moc (music on command line) for music: http://moc.daper.net/ And mpv for internet radio streams.

music: moc

Music: Music Player Daemon (The ALSA of music players!) MOC (Terminal frontend for MPD) ncmpcpp (Anyone who tells you there's a better music player for Linux than this, is a scammer!) kunst (Even blind people need Album Art to listen music ;) Spicetify (Spicey Spotify with pywal!)

Music on Console (MOC) is Linux-only, so won't work
