mpv, ls, mv, ping and scp.

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transmission-remote-cli is no longer maintained.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

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

NAME
shred - overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally
delete it

SYNOPSIS
shred [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION
Overwrite the specified FILE(s) repeatedly, in order to make
it harder for even very expensive hardware probing to recover
the data.
...

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
:(

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)
