Bash csh zsh ksh tksh fish are powerful CLI tools

Entire networks can be controlled and build with them.

Let's take for example command line tools to control media output

For me e.g mplayer and vlc -I cli are much more interesting when it comes down to standard control of media playback. I prefer to use MOC (mocp) Music 🎼 on Console, instead of bulky RAM hungry programs, which go on the internet to _fetch data that I never asked for$ and thus burn bandwidth

The memory footprint of Music on Console is so low that you can use it on a system which has been built more than two and a half decades ago.

The only graphical media playback program I know that can do that also has been written by my friend Andy Loafoe and that is alsaplayer

Andy programmed alsaplayer when he saw Delitracker playing on my Amiga systems
We're talking the period when Linux was barely moving in Xwindows when you had window managers like fvwm & twm and few others.
The alsa audio interface was also just born.

It is within this context that Andy envisioned alsaplayer. It should be modular just like Delitracker Amiga, it should be lightweight Delitracker runs on an Amiga A500 with just half A megabyte of chip ram
That should still be memory left to do other the things so straight calls were made to widget libraries which explains the simplicity yet great usability of the UI. For as far as I remember Andy has also written an API for Alsaplayer

Within a few weeks to a few months of coding alsaplayer came out of Alpha and went Bèta in code stability.

Because everything was written with efficiency in mind and it was programmed as portable as possible, alsaplayer can still be used many decades after It has been written

One of the main reasons is that it has been coded by a command line programmer

Alsaplayer has been ported to many different Operating System Architectures including freeBSD

For me working on the command line has always been logical, graphic user interfaces were only used when absolutely necessary think about GEOS on the C64

I started coding on the Casio FX 700p programmable calculator. I went so far to make program code that was in the book more efficient by crunching all the commands with two letter abbreviations.

The power of the Command Line something the Young Ones should Learn

モバイルで検索ウィジェットからブックマークしたウェブページにアクセスする方法

Android や iOS で Vivaldi ブラウザを開いてスピードダイヤルをタップすると、ブックマークしたページに素早くアクセスできます。でも、スピードダイヤルの数が多かったり、スタートページにブックマークを追加していなかったりした場合、ブックマークから必要なページを探すのには時間がかかってしまいます。

ブックマークにニックネームを付ければ、検索欄にニックネームを入力するだけで素早く開けます。また、ブラウザを最初に開くことなく、検索ウィジェットから直接開くことができます。

モバイルに検索ウィジェットを追加するには、Android に関しては こちら、iOS に関しては こちら から、それぞれインストラクションを確認してください。

ブックマークにニックネームを付けるには:

  1. ブックマークパネルを開く
  2. ニックネームをつけたいブックマークを確認する
  3. 該当するブックマークを長押しして「編集」を選択する(Android では鉛筆アイコンを選択する)
  4. ブックマークに短いニックネームを付ける
  5. 「完了」をタップする

ウィジェットからブックマークしたウェブサイトを開く

  1. ホーム画面の検索ウィジェットをタップする
  2. ニックネームを入力する
  3. 「移動」をタップする

Tip #742

Go to bookmarked web pages on mobile from the search widget.

Opening the Vivaldi browser on Android or iOS and tapping on a Speed Dial is already a quick way to go to a bookmarked page, but what if you have a lot of Speed Dials or you haven’t added the bookmark to your Start Page? Then browsing through the bookmarks to find the right one can take longer.

When you give your bookmarks nicknames, on the other hand, you can open them quickly by typing the nickname in the search field. And why not do that directly from the Search Widget without opening the browser first?

To add the Search Widget on mobile check out the instrcutions for Android here and for iOS here.

To give a bookmark a nickname:

  1. Open the Bookmarks Panel.
  2. Find the bookmark you want to give a nickname to.
  3. Long-press on it and select “Edit” (pencil icon on Android).
  4. Give the bookmark a short nickname.
  5. Tap “Done”.

To open a bookmarked website from the widget.

  1. Tap on the Search Widget on the home screen.
  2. Type the nickname.
  3. Tap “Go”.

#VivaldiBrowser team has just released a new desktop update, Vivaldi 7.5
vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-de
I personally love the new smooth way of interacting with Speed Dials and Dashboard elements (Widgets), the new Mail and Calendar look, as well as the new Ad Blocker supported rules (badfilter, strict3p, and strict1p).

P.S. Related to the **real bugs** hotel: vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-de. Does anyone know where I can find the #drill in the photo? I like it. It must be as powerful as #VivaldiBrowser. Maybe it even has a button to change its colour :)
Please, do you know where to get it from? Possibly on the Vivaldi Store? TY!🙏
