• What's a really niche tool you use that you can't live without?

  I want to see tools most of us have never heard or even thought of. Extractors for obscure websites or websites we don't think of in terms of extractors like megatools or Mediafire Bulk Downloader. "Glue" tools like rclone's serve command (as well as the rest of rclone) and lftp that makes stuff work together easier. Phone apps like FE File Explorer Pro (sadly the free version seems to be gone) that makes... Source: 12 months ago

• Zsync – Rsync over HTTP

  Sounds a bit similar to lftp[1]. While I don't think it supports updates of compressed files, it doesn't rely on a meta-file and also supports a range of other protocols.

  Yeah, you can drive the camera with a raspi and libgphoto2. You can sync the captured images via FTP using lftp. Source: about 3 years ago

Not only terminal emulators but the actual terminal of something like Ubuntu Server, which I believe to be gnome-terminal. Source: over 1 year ago

• A good python library to replace libtcod for terminal play?

  Iterm2, gnome terminal, xterm, Konsole, macos Terminal, powershell, command, etc.. these all provide a common API which we normally use curses to interface with. But all of them basically reach into something lower level (opengl, vulkan, directx, etc.) to render the text, which ultimately is still pixels on a screen. Source: over 2 years ago
