Yyup, notmuch doesn’t sync folders AFAIK since it is an indexer (a fast one), one needs mbsync and/or imapnotify to keep mail up to date (the combination might be mbsync to sync on boot, and then imapnotify to keep things up to date based on such notifications) to keep mail up to date. Another options is khard which is menat for cardav contacts just as khal is meant for caldav calendar… mutt-ics sounds great for ics calendar invitations, which I sometimes get from non family and non organization parties, otherwise I receive caldav ones, which I’d like to integrate with the caldav calendar so it syncs, perhaps mutt-ics handles that as well, first time reading about it, :)

Many thanks for answering !

how does khal integrate with neomutt for received invitations? khard works pretty well AFAIK with neomutt. Also, have you tried alot (notmuch + afew + alot + …)? It sounds alot integrates much better than neomutt with notmuch, which in turn integrates much more better than mutt…

Please define suckless. See on under suckless.org one can find rocking software, meaning suckless alternatives not developed/maintained by them, and on the editors section I see:

• acme - Rob Pike’s framing text editor for Plan 9. Included in plan9port.
• ed - ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!
• ired - A minimalist hexadecimal editor and bindiffer for p9, w32 and *nix.
• mg - A portable version of mg.
• mle - A small, flexible console text editor.
• nano - A pico clone - this is small simple code and easy to use.
• neatvi - A minimal vi implementation supporting bidirectional UTF-8
• nextvi - A continuation of neatvi development with more features.
• nvi - A small, multiple file vi-alike.
• micro - A terminal text editor, written in go with common key bindings like ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste.
• sam - An editor by Rob Pike with inspiration from ed.
• sim - The sim text editor. Based on vim and sam.
• traditional vi - A fixed version of the original vi.
• vim (With the GUI, use :set go+=c to kill popup dialogs). It can be compiled to be as minimal as possible (see vim-tiny in Debian repos).
• vis - A modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient vim-like editor.
• wily - An acme clone for POSIX.

That said, also note there’s an emacs-nox package available in most distros, which only includes the editor able to run on a terminal emulator, if emacs OS is too much. And can you share URLs justifying why vim is a big security hole? BTW I don’t see neovim as part of the suckless.org/rocks software. What is suckless depends a lot about what one might consider it to be, even though there might be some common characteristics that can be recognized as not good such as bloated, too big code base and so on.

artix, and honorific mentions to parabola and hyperbola (hyperbola is moving towards becoming a gnu + kopenbsd thing, like there was an attempt for a debian gnu + kfreebsd effort though this one got dropped)

• terminal: profanity (really cool, it became what I regularly use, no audio/video calls though in which case a gui like dino can be used, syncing between the two)
• gui: dino (there’s a fork called dinox)
• android: conversations (from f-droid)

It depends on your preferences of course. Notmuch offers a way fast indexer you can’t get with traditional gui applications, but by itself it’s not pretty useful, however the integration with other tools makes it really powerful, with afew you get your personal tagging when messages arrive (filters), with alot you just get the email frontend. If you like the terminal experience, then you’d know you need something extra for smtp (writing emails) and there you have for example msmtp. It’s a matter of choice. I mentioned notmuch since the traditional approach to the terminal is plain neomutt, but there are alternatives. isync (mbsync) actually interacts well with neomutt but it also does it with notmuch, and neomutt can be used as a frontend for notmuch as well. A matter of choices.

The thing with solutions like thunderbird is that you have to adhere to their design decisions. For example I don’t like their librnp implementation, and I had to create alpm hooks on artix to keep updating such library with sequoia-octopus-librnp, not because I like rust (I don’t dislike it either), but because at least I can keep just one keyring, and thunderbird when not having a master password (the default) keeps its keyring unencrypted, and I pretty much see no reason not to use gnupg. So I decided I better kept using gnupg’s keyring and stuff. Integrating different tools designed for specific purposes you have more freedom of choice. At any rate that’s how unix was conceived, and you can choose to do it that way if you want.

How about isync + notmuch + afew + alot + msmtp? gpg decryption not directly supported but using alot’s pipeto it can be used to decrypt messages. As using notmuch as indexer it’s flow is pretty similar/compatible to/with gmail.

agreed, I though I ammended my original post about it.

Flatpak’s use of bubblewrap (it comes from flatpak but then it became its own project) is not a good example, see:

https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html#flatpak

But in general this is true. I talked out of memory, but firejail given its suid way is considered insecure (possible privilege escalation), that’s right

apparmor comes with several profiles, and if in your distro it doesn’t include one for librewolf, you can use the firefox one. And if there’s no available one and you would be interested in combine it with firejail then most probably firejail will come with with a profile for firefox or librewolf and usually with support for apparmor. Regardless of the distros, the arch wiki can guide you with apparmor and firejail. I recommend becoming familiar with both. Another option if there’s no profile on your distro is to look into another distro’s profile. ubuntu used include some software with apparmor out of the box so perhaps it’s a good source of profiles…

Also in this same community there’s an old post precisely about what you’re asking for, though it’s a bit dated, you may want to scroll for some time until getting to it.

Edit:

Firejail is insecure, my bad. Better to use bubblewrap (I didn’t know about bubblejail). The thing is that firejail offers profiles combined with apparmor which might have solved the lack of apparmor profiles. For my personal purposes I hope to take a look at bubblejail to have an easier way to do sandboxing. You can see the arch wiki bubblewrap examples to notice how bubblewrap doesn’t help with apparmor profiles though. According to the arch wiki for bubblejail or the GH page for bubblejail profiles are used and can easily be created, however I have no idea of the interaction with apparmor, and if as with firejail such profiles include apparmor stuff, but intuitively I guess it doesn’t.

Going back to apparmor, which is MAC enforcement, if no profiles available on your distro for librewolf neither firefox, then looking at other distros is OK, and also one can create profiles as well as one can also modify existent or available ones. See for example the arch wiki for apparmor.

if someone is up to the challenge to take lemoa over, a gtk app, the original author seems to be open for that.

neonmodem

There’s this apps doc. From there I see in addition to others’ comments:

• mlmym
• neonmodem

Both being Go based apps. but the neonmodem looks more interesting to me.

Another option is a hybrid one, to add the rss feeds from the lemmy communities your’re interested in, or the rss feed from all of them together into your feed reader (even better if newsraft), but those feeds don’t show full lemmy conversations and one has to show them in the browser, and also if in need to comment or post one still need to use the browser.

apps doc is constantly evolving, so it’s good to keep an eye on it periodically, :)

There’s an AUR open-tv package for Arch/Artix/…, and there’s even an AUR open-tv-bin version, but I prefer looking at the build recipes if available, and if not using Arch/Artix/… one can read through the PKGBUILD and see how it builds.

available on AUR for Arch and derivatires

The AUR PKGBUILD shows a pretty simple recipe:

build() {
  arch-meson "${pkgname}-${pkgver//+/-}" build
  meson compile -C build
}

package() {
  meson install -C build --destdir "${pkgdir}"
  # permission fix
  chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/ascii-draw"
}

I’ve been seeing arch-meson often used, but haven’t explored what it does. Some day…

Though it’s way more fun to use text specification, like the one referenced by @fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org

maybe, he mentioned stacked mode on a tiling compositor, which is valid, but that’s not a thing on stacking compositors… BTW, the stack mode on sway doesn’t mean it turns into a stacking compositor, rather it means tabbed mode with the tabs stacked vertically. But the OP knows better.

You might try tabbed mode instead of stacking mode. It’s great, as mentioned in some comment I made, I’m not a tiling guide, but the tabbed mode on sway is great. I would guess it’s available on hyprland since it borrows some concepts from sway. However if you find a lot of trouble on hyprland enabling it (I guess you shouldn’t) you might try sway. Beware you need exceptions because otherwise everything shows up maximized, but that’s not hard byt reading the man pages, compositor documentation, and looking around on the web. BTW, on sway this global config gives tabbed mode on all workspaces: workspace_layout tabbed and of course you can chenge it to stacking, or tiling whenever you want on any workspace…

I’m not a tiling guy, and the tabbed mode on sway seems to me like the best I’ve used. I believe it’s a much better experience than stacking compositors by a lot. Having a tab bar, and everything maximized to it (except what I consider is better off floating) is the best I’ve experienced. Stacking mode is the same just that is uses too much space by stacking the tabs, so I really don’t like stacking mode. So sway tabbed mode, in combination with a tiling concept of a workspace per particular objective (I use 10) and a simple bar (yamber) has no alternative on the stacking spectrum of compositors.

BTW, if going with a stacking compositor, I recommend labwc instead. I found a smoother and way more stable experience than wayfire (some functionality stops working often like sunset functionality, and usually way behind on wlroots support, not a take on wayfire devs, just that I find it more unstable than labwc).

Of course I’m biased towards less eye candy, though I still appreciate the equivalent to basic picom/compton on the Xorg world, which is the norm on any wayland compositor AFAIK.

Tiling widow managers are popular, but they’re definitely a taste.

Oh, I refered to that in your post. To me all WMs/compositors are a matter of taste, including stacking ones (on wayland from the stacking ones I only like labwc though it’s xml config is not what I would prefer). And you already clarified, but it gave me the impression that it was implicit that tiling was a matter of taste, when those WMs/compositors also offer tabbed/stacked mode, which to me it’s not tiling at all, and offers something really appealing not so easily to achieve on any stacking WM/compositor.

Regarding config, well yes, if one is looking for no config at all, and still get the WM/compositor to be useful and also to one’s liking, then that’s hard to find. But the config files once achieving what one likes and is productive with, then one barely looks at it again, and they are usually portable (usually not only across PCs, also across distros).

But I got your point, sort of “plug and play” as they said before, just install it and without any config be productive with it… I can’t imagine that. I heard river is pretty close to dwm, but I can’t tell much about it. The river idea of dynamic tiling, which seems to be the default doesn’t really appeal to me, so I would need to do tabbed mode any ways, which doesn’t seem to be the default, so at least for me it wouldn’t be that configless… But maybe it would be to dynamic tiling people.
