  • Kind of off topic, but you know what would be cool? If you had an ‘man explain’ command that would define all the flags/args in a command, like:

    man explain rsync --append-verify --progress -avz -e "ssh -p 2222" root@$dip:/sdcard/DCIM/Camera newphonepix

    Would give you:

    rsync - a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
          --append-verify          --append w/old data in file checksum
          --progress               show progress during transfer
          --archive, -a            archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)
          --verbose, -v            increase verbosity
          --compress, -z           compress file data during the transfer
          --rsh=COMMAND, -e        specify the remote shell to use 
    

    etc.











  • The author seems dead set on a tauri calendar implementation. I came across what is apparently a scheduling toolkit in rust:

    https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler

    Which I guess could be used to build a desktop calendar app. One flaw in the ointment is that a calendar program really needs email integration. Downloading an ICS file and manually transferring that over to your calendar app isn’t going to cut it.

    Which brings us to the lack of solid calendar servers. I’ve searched but I haven’t found anything popular, OSS, easy to install, and useful for groups. Radicale exists but multi user support is a janky hack, while Nextcloud has unreliable sync. I’m looking for features like:

    • reliable calendar sync
    • sharable calendars.
    • scheduling help - when to have a meeting?
    • how many attendees for a group event, how many invited etc.
