Announcing bgammon.org (online multiplayer backgammon) I have developed an entirely free and open source multiplayer backgammon service. You can try it out by visiting https://bgammon.org or by connecting via SSH: `ssh bgammon.org -p 5000` I would very much appreciate help with testing and feedback from anyone who knows how to play backgammon, or is interested in learning. The rules of backgammon are available here: https://bkgm.com/rules.html The password prompt is currently non-functional, and private lobbies are not yet available. Otherwise, the service is ready to test out, particularly the accuracy of the backgammon simulation. Because there are no accounts yet, everyone is logged in as a guest. A terminal-based client is available, and a graphical client is planned. The terminal-based client is available over the web at the link above. This is accomplished by using [GoTTY](https://github.com/sorenisanerd/gotty). Move pieces by dragging them or by clicking a source space and then a destination space. You may make multiple moves by dragging a checker directly to its final destination. The source code is available here: [server](https://code.rocketnine.space/tslocum/bgammon) & [client](https://code.rocketnine.space/tslocum/bgammon-cli). Feel free to contact me directly at trevor@rocket9labs.com with test results and feedback.
Also available via SSH: `ssh playnetris.com` Source code: https://code.rocket9labs.com/tslocum/netris

I was looking for a way to scan a QR code on my mobile using my laptop, but couldn't find a perfect solution. So I ended up making this tool. Repo: https://github.com/sayanarijit/qrscan Language: Rust Supported platforms: Currently tested on Linux, but should also run on Unix, Linux, Mac, Windows I just published this, so expect a few bugs here and there. If found please report.

Would be curious to know if anyone's had any experience using sixel. I've only seen a few framebuffer based Linux distributions. Wondering if sixel could be used in a similar way to avoid X Windows or Wayland. I saw a port of libsdl that outputs in sixel. Also started experimenting with mlterm which displays sixel. Would be curious to hear of others experiences working with sixel or other graphics formats that could potentially display well in console mode.
Thought I'd mention pdftxt. It translates pdf files to text using libmupdf. Haven't found anything more lightweight to do the same job. Would be curious if others have. There are some other interesting framebuffer and command line programs at the same site too.
I know there are some CLI junkies using Termux on their Android phones but the terminal has always been a separate app. Termux Expert Launcher changes that. Always at-the-ready terminal while being able to quickly launch Android apps when needed. Type a few letters and matching apps show up below. The command `app` by itself will present a scrollable list of installed apps. Been sticking with this for awhile now and liking it quite a bit. Best on larger devices.

pipe docs like pdf, archives, audio, and images in the terminal.

use with lynx by pressing 'p' to print and output it to the screen/scrollback. then you can press '!' to drop to the terminal from lynx. ('exit' to go back to lynx). in the terminal you can copy anything you need from the scrollback page and paste it in a tmux space such as a different pane or window.
I ready my feeds, browse gemini, control music playback and get on the fediverse in the terminal. A lemmy client would be a nice addition.

Also check out the vim plugin https://github.com/sayanarijit/xplr.vim

A very well done TUI for the fediverse.
Impressive resource
Solve exercises by writing Bash one-liners. The server actually runs your commands and checks whether the output is correct. If you click on *View Solutions*, the correct commands other people entered are sorted by character count. So if you want, you can take the optional code golfing challenge. I gained some knowledge from solving the challenges and looking at the solutions. Mostly you will use `find` and `grep`.

wttr.in is a console-oriented weather forecast service that supports various information representation methods like terminal-oriented ANSI-sequences for console HTTP clients (curl, httpie, or wget), HTML for web browsers, or PNG for graphical viewers. Thanks to chubin for this.

Technical documentation often looks and feels intimdating. Dash Dash takes the Unix (Linux, BSD, macOS) open source manual pages and sets the content in a beautiful set of typefaces while adding just a bit of animation and design. We hope this resource helps designers and non-technical folks appreciate and love the command line like we do!

If you are currently using [z](https://github.com/rupa/z), [autojump](https://github.com/wting/autojump), [fasd](https://github.com/clvv/fasd) or similar, take a look at it. frece is the kind of tool that does one thing well and can be used in ways the authors didn’t think of. In my case it replaced mlocate. See [open-files-frece](https://gitlab.com/Ordoviz/scripts/-/blob/master/open-files-frece) and [frece-updatedb](https://gitlab.com/Ordoviz/scripts/-/blob/master/frece-updatedb). It is written in Rust and available in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/frece).
