Termux

Anonymous 22:55, 5 August 2025 (EDT)

Termux is a terminal emulator compatible with Xterm specification and Linux environment application for the Android OS. In other words this is an interface that lets you to run command line Linux programs. Additionally the app configures a lightweight environment that consists of standard utilities such as Bash, Coreutils, Nano, APT package manager and few other software packages.

Some stuff I have found using termux terminal on my tablet. All of this stuff can be found on github and other websites and are probably a better source for the materials found here. I just copied and pasted stuff for my own personal use.

I am NOT a terminal (or linux) user. I dabble from time to time.

Great way to get the local weather...if you happen to live in a town that has really recognizable name like Chicago or Berlin. Otherwise, you have to kinda play with it until it gets something close to what you want. Also, the ?u sets the temps to American units of F(reedom).

irssi

---

I don't normally use a CLI based irc client, but when I do, it is either irssi or weechat. Below you will find some irssi cheats.

[irssi new user guide.

pkg install irssi

When I use irssi, I don't like all the crap they put in the way. I just want text on a screen. Here are some things that will remove stuff that gets in the way:

/STATUSBAR MODIFY -disable info This gets rid of the info bar at the bottom that tells you stuff like how many users are in the channel.

/STATUSBAR MODIFY -disable window status bar This will remove the bar at the top that has the title in it.
