Just released systab — a single-file Bash script that gives you a cron-like interface for systemd user timers.
If you've ever wanted the simplicity of crontab but the power of systemd timers, this might be for you. Natural language schedules, desktop/email notifications, a crontab-style editor, and persistent services — all without leaving the terminal.

#Forgejo keeps impressing. Migrating a larger repo with lots of issues etc, only took the creation of an access token. Once again, i'm super happy with my decision to selfhost my #git.

Had to fill out a form at the DR. Hadn't used a ballpoint in a while. A good reminder of why I use #fountainpens.
systab -e has very much become part of my workflow for dealing with systemd timers and services.
It now colors the output a little and there is a nvim syntax highlighing extra.

I'm on a metered data plan and wanted to know how much my gaming session actually consumed.
Enter vnstat — been around for over two decades and I just discovered it. One command, instant answer.
Never stop loving this #Linux ecosystem. #FOSS
I'm waiting for the west wing of The White House to turn into 6 luxury suits and the name changing from
"The White House"
to
"The Trump House for Whites and Event Center"

I am unclear on how I should make the serving suggestion work. Can I buy the mango peel somewhere to re-create the real fruit with sorbet? 🤣 #fail #marketing #productdesign

nuisance alias. when i miss an 's' in my 'gss' #ohmyzsh alias i end up blinded by a very bright ghostscript viewer. Now I get a chance to escape that.
alias gs='[[ $(gum choose --header "run gs (ghostscript)?" no yes) == "yes" ]] && gs'

@troed@swecyb.com ,right? 2 files and a bunch of scaffolding to make the computer go ding in 20 minutes ... i know that systemd does soooo much more then systemd, but it certainly isn't nearly as convenient as crontab -e
