insect VS Hauk

Apparently this replaces https://github.com/sharkdp/insect

You might like https://insect.sh/ ;)

For the record I use insect.

https://github.com/sharkdp/insect seems to be somewhat similar, but it's mostly for physical units. However, it's the only opensource one that is embeddable.

Insect: https://github.com/sharkdp/insect

It is a bit slow but has decent features, including some physical units support.

I set up Tilda (or another Guake equivalent; I tried a bunch of them and can’t remember on which I settled in the end) to run it automatically when a terminal is opened, when pressing Scroll Lock. It’s quite neat: when I need to do a quick calculation, I just hit Scroll Lock, which spawns a drop down terminal with the focus; then type whatever I want to calculate; then control-D to dismiss the drop down terminal and I am back in whatever I was doing without moving either hand off the keyboard.

I do more or less the same thing on my Mac with Alfred.

I'm in the same boat and will pay for Kagi, though I have a different interaction with a search engine and thought you might like the counterpoint. Notably, I don't use Google for most of what you described:

Translation: I use DeepL instead (google is doing poorly on Asian languages)

Conversion: not having much need for imperial but I use this for all unit conversion (though usually directly in my terminal): https://insect.sh/

Wikipedia: if I type Wikipedia+something my browser automatically use the wiki engine (chrome can do that too)

Word definition: on OSX I long press on the trackpad and the definition pops up (across languages, translation too for single words)

Lyrics: Spotify show them now! (admittedly that's a recent feature)

insect.sh goes up to about 109 × 1015.

Hmm. My favorite thing I never actually used — Hauk. Location sharing. I.e. install app on your phone, it creates a link that you can send to someone, and they would see your location on a map on your server.

If you only run official containers from popular repositories, and not less known repositories (which carry more risk), then the normal Rootful Docker is fine.\ I like running smaller projects such as https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk/, so just in case the Docker image gets infected because e.g. the dev gets hacked, I run Rootless Docker to prevent damage.

If you don't mind self-hosting, check out Hauk.

Hauk https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk (my first choice)

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but there's something called Hauk you can host yourself.
