polybar

A fast and easy-to-use status bar

Project mention: Is there a way I can tell which exit node I am using from CLI in Linux? | /r/Tailscale | 2023-12-08

I'd like to just be able to write a short shell script to check if an exit node is in use, and then pipe that output into polybar which I use anyway. The problem is that I can't find an option in the tailscale Linux CLI client that will show me whether I'm using an exit node or not. Is there a way to do this?

Highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors. :v: :tada:

Project mention: flake help! basic flake | /r/NixOS | 2023-09-05

as a noob I set up my system without flakes (configuration.nix) but gBar is only as flake available. I guess this particular flake isn't hard to configure but I don't get it.
