There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.

It really is buggy, iirc I couldn't even get it to run properly.

It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

I really don't have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I've just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.

Uploaded it to catbox.moe and then just pasted the link in the url field when creating the post. Hope that helps :)

While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I'm really happy that I'm not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.

I did, but i was going for something really small and simple, more like an ebook reader than a webui.

Yes, a while ago, at the beginning of the project, and eventually decided against it. GTK, despite it's terrible documentation for python was just a more robust desktop app framework.

I quite heavily rely on sliders, dropdown lists and a file browser and while it's possible to do that in pygame, it's just too clunky.

Exactly. Just as a real world example for OP, my home server has an i5 7400 with the same TDP. At idle the whole system draws around 10.5W, measured from the wall.

If you just want to play around with it, I highly recommend some arch based distro (because you can find plenty of obscure TUI apps in the AUR) with a window manager (be it tiling like Qtile or stacking like Openbox).

If you want something preconfigured, I've recently found instantOS, which seems to work fine for that usecase.

I use this small laptop mostly for ebooks (using the excellent epy) and music, using one ot the TUI YouTube frontends.

I'm using Linux and never really bothered scanning for viruses. Is ClamAV a good start?

Probably offtopic, but are there any popular old android tablets that run linux proper?

[-] crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

This. They are actually not accurate because of regulations.

Unfortunately because of the digital spedometer, the analog one usually suffers.

My mid-2010s c-class has an analog spedometer which is absolutely useless as it does not have a full needle and the fonts, spacing and colors are made to blend in with the interior instead of being readable.

All this makes me use the digital one, which is very distracting and usually lagging behind, especially when quickly accelerating.
