how does khal integrate with neomutt for received invitations? khard works pretty well AFAIK with neomutt. Also, have you tried alot (notmuch + afew + alot + …)? It sounds alot integrates much better than neomutt with notmuch, which in turn integrates much more better than mutt…

Please define suckless. See on under suckless.org one can find rocking software, meaning suckless alternatives not developed/maintained by them, and on the editors section I see:
- acme - Rob Pike’s framing text editor for Plan 9. Included in plan9port.
- ed - ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!
- ired - A minimalist hexadecimal editor and bindiffer for p9, w32 and *nix.
- mg - A portable version of mg.
- mle - A small, flexible console text editor.
- nano - A pico clone - this is small simple code and easy to use.
- neatvi - A minimal vi implementation supporting bidirectional UTF-8
- nextvi - A continuation of neatvi development with more features.
- nvi - A small, multiple file vi-alike.
- micro - A terminal text editor, written in go with common key bindings like ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste.
- sam - An editor by Rob Pike with inspiration from ed.
- sim - The sim text editor. Based on vim and sam.
- traditional vi - A fixed version of the original vi.
- vim (With the GUI, use :set go+=c to kill popup dialogs). It can be compiled to be as minimal as possible (see vim-tiny in Debian repos).
- vis - A modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient vim-like editor.
- wily - An acme clone for POSIX.
That said, also note there’s an
emacs-noxpackage available in most distros, which only includes the editor able to run on a terminal emulator, if emacs OS is too much. And can you share URLs justifying why vim is a big security hole? BTW I don’t see neovim as part of the suckless.org/rocks software. What is suckless depends a lot about what one might consider it to be, even though there might be some common characteristics that can be recognized as not good such as bloated, too big code base and so on.
- terminal: profanity (really cool, it became what I regularly use, no audio/video calls though in which case a gui like dino can be used, syncing between the two)
- gui: dino (there’s a fork called dinox)
- android: conversations (from f-droid)

Linux@lemmy.ml•What software do you use to aggregate email in a single interface?
0·5 months agoHow about isync + notmuch + afew + alot + msmtp? gpg decryption not directly supported but using alot’s pipeto it can be used to decrypt messages. As using notmuch as indexer it’s flow is pretty similar/compatible to/with gmail.
apkupdater installing from apkpure?
I’m wondering about LOS re-locking on particular devices. DivestOS used to allow that, not sure if only on pixels, but if divestOS which was based on LOS could, I don’t see how that code can not be ported over upstream LOS. Have anyone seen an effort similar to divestOS in this regard?
if someone is up to the challenge to take lemoa over, a gtk app, the original author seems to be open for that.
There’s this apps doc. From there I see in addition to others’ comments:
Both being Go based apps. but the neonmodem looks more interesting to me.
Another option is a hybrid one, to add the rss feeds from the lemmy communities your’re interested in, or the rss feed from all of them together into your feed reader (even better if newsraft), but those feeds don’t show full lemmy conversations and one has to show them in the browser, and also if in need to comment or post one still need to use the browser.
apps doc is constantly evolving, so it’s good to keep an eye on it periodically, :)

Linux@lemmy.ml•Open TV, the fast and open-source IPTV player for Linux, launches on Android and iOS today!
2·9 months agoThere’s an AUR open-tv package for Arch/Artix/…, and there’s even an AUR open-tv-bin version, but I prefer looking at the build recipes if available, and if not using Arch/Artix/… one can read through the PKGBUILD and see how it builds.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•De-Shittify your YouTube Experience with FreeTube
2·9 months agoI’ve been a long term freetube user, but lately I’m finding pipeline built locally through AUR, formerly known as feetuber, a much better experience at least for me. I’ve set it up to use ytdlp and mpv all the time, so I don’t care about Piped sites. It supports Peertube already, and it’s way light, at least with mpv playing it is

Linux@programming.dev•GNOME 49 Will Require Deeper systemd Integration
71·9 months agoThere are a bunch of non bloated alternatives with whether wayland compositors and also X11 window managers, and there’s also kde/plasma, xfce and mate if still wanting full DE, plus a hybrid lxde-gtk3/lxqt (lxqt supports both X11 and wayland I believe).
If going the non bloated ways, distributions can offer some modifications on the system configurations files, so that users can start with working software out of the box, and can even offer installation meta packages for a complete set of i3/sway packages to have an equivalent DE experience. What would be left to users is custom settings to get more appealing aesthetics depending on the user, if not i3/sway, then openbox/labwc, and so on. For a DE experience including into the meta package a toolbar like yambar (works on X11 and wayland), dunst/mako, udiskie, redshift/wlsunset and so on. The missing part on non bloated alternatives is easy of configuring through buttons and widgets, and even so lxqt made an easy of configure software component for openbox, and there might be something similar for labwc.
So non systemd distributions are far from dying because of gnome’s hostility.
And if I recall correctly, several gnome users (not its huge base of course) are moving away from gnome any ways unhappy with its plugin support, given gnome is known to leave plugins unsupported on its releases and not caring about them.
The AUR PKGBUILD shows a pretty simple recipe:
build() { arch-meson "${pkgname}-${pkgver//+/-}" build meson compile -C build } package() { meson install -C build --destdir "${pkgdir}" # permission fix chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/ascii-draw" }I’ve been seeing arch-meson often used, but haven’t explored what it does. Some day…
Though it’s way more fun to use text specification, like the one referenced by @fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org
My only experience with it was with harmony-music built/installed from AUR on artix, and I couldn’t keep using it, it was consuming too munch CPU, making the fans run nuts. Not sure if it was harmony-music itself, or flutter. Apparently not the same OP experience.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is Hyprland a good WM choice if I can make stacking / floating workflow work?
1·10 months agomaybe, he mentioned stacked mode on a tiling compositor, which is valid, but that’s not a thing on stacking compositors… BTW, the stack mode on sway doesn’t mean it turns into a stacking compositor, rather it means tabbed mode with the tabs stacked vertically. But the OP knows better.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is Hyprland a good WM choice if I can make stacking / floating workflow work?
2·10 months agoYou might try tabbed mode instead of stacking mode. It’s great, as mentioned in some comment I made, I’m not a tiling guide, but the tabbed mode on sway is great. I would guess it’s available on hyprland since it borrows some concepts from sway. However if you find a lot of trouble on hyprland enabling it (I guess you shouldn’t) you might try sway. Beware you need exceptions because otherwise everything shows up maximized, but that’s not hard byt reading the man pages, compositor documentation, and looking around on the web. BTW, on sway this global config gives tabbed mode on all workspaces:
workspace_layout tabbedand of course you can chenge it to stacking, or tiling whenever you want on any workspace…

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is Hyprland a good WM choice if I can make stacking / floating workflow work?
3·10 months agoI’m not a tiling guy, and the tabbed mode on sway seems to me like the best I’ve used. I believe it’s a much better experience than stacking compositors by a lot. Having a tab bar, and everything maximized to it (except what I consider is better off floating) is the best I’ve experienced. Stacking mode is the same just that is uses too much space by stacking the tabs, so I really don’t like stacking mode. So sway tabbed mode, in combination with a tiling concept of a workspace per particular objective (I use 10) and a simple bar (yamber) has no alternative on the stacking spectrum of compositors.
BTW, if going with a stacking compositor, I recommend labwc instead. I found a smoother and way more stable experience than wayfire (some functionality stops working often like sunset functionality, and usually way behind on wlroots support, not a take on wayfire devs, just that I find it more unstable than labwc).
Of course I’m biased towards less eye candy, though I still appreciate the equivalent to basic picom/compton on the Xorg world, which is the norm on any wayland compositor AFAIK.

















Yyup, notmuch doesn’t sync folders AFAIK since it is an indexer (a fast one), one needs mbsync and/or imapnotify to keep mail up to date (the combination might be mbsync to sync on boot, and then imapnotify to keep things up to date based on such notifications) to keep mail up to date. Another options is khard which is menat for cardav contacts just as khal is meant for caldav calendar… mutt-ics sounds great for ics calendar invitations, which I sometimes get from non family and non organization parties, otherwise I receive caldav ones, which I’d like to integrate with the caldav calendar so it syncs, perhaps mutt-ics handles that as well, first time reading about it, :)
Many thanks for answering !
