I think I'm closing in on some better #CLI tools.
#kitty - terminal emulator
#tmux - terminal multiplexer
#tmuxp - preconfigured tmux sessions
#mosh - ssh that reconnects if you switch networks
#newsboat - RSS feeds
#offpunk - gemini/gopher browser
#links2 - CLI web browser
#timg - CLI image viewer
#tailscale - for LAN access
Anyone else have some cool terminal apps they love?
Hey links2 users! I know there is the "-g" switch which will open up a GUI, but is there a way to click on an image link in the text interface and have it display in the terminal with timg?

I'm a bit off-color again this week, so let's just all share our personal #computer #basics.
About #asdf, #lisp, #emacs, #links2, #eww, #slime, #git, #mcclim etc, when I say I like to

The main problem of the #links2 browser is:

NO-JS Fingerprinting (slight return)

A continuation of a previous article on the nifty invention of fingerprinting simple web browsers.
Special thanks to @Reiddragon
No Javascript Browser fingerprinting - experimental warfare in #links2
https://automa.triapul.cz/nojs-fingerprinting/
...
edit: just a side note, thanks to another fellow links2gangster, you can supply links2 with some completely arbitrary header, which will change the fingerprint: ie
links -g -http.extra-header "Accept: $RANDOM/$RANDOM" https://noscriptfingerprint.com/
But I suppose the best practice would be to rotate real (useless?) headers, as this will potentially make the browser stand out.
Thanks @smoon

(for subjective values of "best")
explicit invitation to explain your reasoning in the replies
also, feel free to recommend other terminal-based web browsers if your favorite isn't listed
@drahardja So sad that there is no french big media almost only text websites !
#links2 (text cli web browser that display also images) and #newsboat (RSS/Atom cli reader) user here by the way ;-)

I cannot overstate my approval. This list is FIRE.
I actually have images disabled in w3m becuase the performance is kinda poor, but use xlinks a lot when I actually want images.
Honorable mention: Surf, when you really, really want a modern browser with a minimum of fluff.
Also, elinks seems to be in active development again, so it definitely deserves a place on the list. :)

Searching for online images with (not just) #links2 and other light web browsers.
Edit 2025-01-28: It is no longer possible to make searches through google without js. I'm leaving it in the guide for now (as a historical proof of enshittification)

For when you don't want to leave the terminal, but really want to look at cottage ideas on pinterest.
#links2 2.3 released
=== RELEASE 2.30 ===
- Disable asynchronous DNS on Windows because of some Cygwin bug
- Fix the configure script to work with GCC 14
- Fix window title on kwin
Difficult to view comics on this laptop, given I have #Links2 as my web browser in text mode and I have to download images individually and view them separately, but I'll try to look at that... :)
