#nodejs #proTip : the readline module is great if you want an easy newline delimited json RPC api from a byte stream!

Surfing cyberspace at the furry con

@toiletpaper Yeah, honestly I think I'll just set up a client from scratch that does reading/sending with all the backends I need. It's unfortunate this sort of setup isn't more "standard" but it makes sense given the history of email.

@toiletpaper I see. I think s-nail is pretty much a more recent version of the same interface. It's bundled with arch which I use on most of my boxes these days. https://man.archlinux.org/man/mail.1.en

@toiletpaper I'm using tdsr but really any CLI that has minimal output and doesn't do a TUI should be fine. e.g. if it outputs raw content to STDOUT I should be able to hear it without issues. Stuff like loading indicators and line numbers is what messes me up.

Also I need to somehow integrate with Microsoft and Google mail since I use them for work. 😅 From what I understand, that's a major PITA.

@toiletpaper Hmm, mail might do the trick. In my case I can't use TUIs because I'm interfacing through a terminal screen reader and dynamic rendering messes with its readback.

By mail you mean s-nail? Do you know of any tutorials for doing a complete setup with it?

@toiletpaper Sending mail I think is the easier part, although doing the configuration is IMO a major pain in the butt still (compared to graphical interfaces). What do you use to read the mail back? I find the split between sending/loading/reading to be a bit overwhelming.

CLI email clients are so fucked because email is so fucked. Like, I want to just have `cat body.txt | email send --to example@example.com` `email list --from example@example.com | less`

My coworkers are saying slop dev now 😈

@TheQuinbox BTW thanks again for recommending TDSR! I'm still not at the point I can code a lot on it but I've been slowly progressing and it's been really easy to modify it given how small the codebase is.

Thankful for having access to air conditioning this year and spare time to enjoy the summer on my own terms.

The wait times in Ottawa healthcare suck, but the quality and cost is pretty decent. Saddens me that the Ontario government is working so hard to ruin it.

Seems the StandardJS code style checker can't really be called that anymore because it hasn't been updated in a couple of years and already can't parse new syntax.
