Because who needs X.
What are your favorite terminal programs for things like browsing, music, file management, networking, games and other fun stuff?
Can you please provide a webm of you making a post in this thread using the terminal? Surely you didn't need a display server to make this thread?
links, mpg123, ogg123, play, rogue, nethack, wump, canfield, ski, bs, sftp, nmap, smbclient, fortune (without cowsay), plenty of others

I thought about putting that in but it's more annoying than fun
browsing: elinks
music: moc
files: dont need
network: ssh
games: frotz
fun: cmatrix

byobu for terminal multiplexing
ranger for a file manager with vi-like bindings

stig, it's a TUI client for transmission-daemon
>>60967572
https://github.com/rndusr/stig
there's an AUR package if you're on Arch
>>60967572
I like transmission-remote-cli myself, what makes that better?
>>60964011
mpv, ls, mv, ping and scp.
top, tmux, grep, sed, awk, apropos, nano (because fuck vi and emacs), less
>>60967680
Also lsblk, cat, sudo, netcat
Text editor: emacs
Browser: emacs
Email: emacs
>>60967625
transmission-remote-cli is deprecated, ugly and has it crashes sometimes when I browse a large list of files
https://github.com/fagga/transmission-remote-cli
>transmission-remote-cli is no longer maintained.
>Alternative Transmission TUI clients are tremc (a fork of this project) and stig.
tremc should be replacing it, but it has the same problems
>>60967591
Is it possible to get this running on FreeBSD?
>>60967572
I'll be checking this out. Thanks anon.
>>60967758
any of them support transmission-sequential?
>>60967746
Seriously, fuck emacs. nano is so much easier to use.
>>60967767
I actually have it running on FreeBSD
just be sure to install the required python modules
>>60967767
Why wouldn't it be? Just compile from source. Looks like it uses ncurses. Surely freebsd has ncurses.
>>60967780
Emacs is far more powerful.
nmap, sed, grep (ripgrep?), jq, ranger, vim, w3m

>sequential
https://wiki.vuze.com/w/Sequential_downloading_is_bad
>Since people who have no understanding how bittorrent works often request that files or even pieces should be downloaded sequentially, here's an explanation why this is a very... bad idea:
>Quick outline
>It threatens to kill smaller swarms due to piece starvation
>It severely limits the set of peers interested in each other, thus degrades swarm-wide and local performance
>It gets the client into endgame-mode like conditions towards the end of each file, thus slowing down the download
>...
>>60967821
>ripgrep?
Why?
>>60967822
oh, I'm aware. I don't care about bittorrent because it is a shit protocol that people cling to in desperation without moving onto newer ones
>>60964011
I still need X to stream lectures and occasionally pirate live sports broadcasts.
I guess I could try to framebuffer the lectures, though not sure the quality it reproduce. The pirate broadcasts require flash which I run in a VM from X sadly. I guess I could like, go to a bar instead
>>60967827
rust has projects that outperform classical ones, see ripgrep, servo, alacritty
SHRED(1) User Commands SHRED(1)

...
it's part of coreutils
transset-df - make your window transparent

emacs isnt that hard you just have to understand that you use Control and Meta for some commands. people who complain about how hard emacs is have honesty never tried to use it.
C-x f -> find a file
C-x s -> save a file
M-x cua-mode -> get your "basic" keybinding like control c to copy control v to paste
Anyone know anything good for torrents? I was thinking something ncurses based. Vi bindings is a plus. Last time I checked, there wasn't any that were updated within the last 12 months.
>>60971630
share de ncmpcpp confige please.
I havent had much luck with it working right sadly
pausing just makes the song play twice out of sync for some reason.
first time playing a song just sounds weird and odd -> playing it again while its playing fixes this
:(
>>60972004
it's most likely your mopidy, theck this article

What? It just werks. Nano is just babbys first console text editor
>>60967822
Sure, I don't do sequential for a file with 10 seeds, but I don't see the problem with sequential downloading a file with 2000+ seeds.
>>60967572
How does it compare to rtorrent, qbittorrent-nox, deluge, etc.?
>>60967838
Networking noob here. What other protocols are there as alternatives and what are the advantages? Wouldn't anything require widespread adoption to become useful? (being peer to peer downloading and all)
