Check Your Battery’s Health from the Command Line with Battop

I recently came across a cool terminal app that help you check your battery health from the command line. It’s called Battop and it’s open source software written in Rust. I ran into it after I went looking for a GUI battery status tool for Linux similar to CoconutBattery for macOS (it’s a menu-bar app that shows battery health, condition, capacity, temperature, voltage and so on). A lot of the guides and tutorials that walk through how to check battery info on Linux all agree on one thing: use upower. It is a solid recommendation. Not only is upower very :sys_more_orange:

Terminal Tip: ‘duf’ is Prettier Alternative to the ‘df’ Command

I wouldn’t call myself a command line ninja but I do have a soft spot for getting things done using a CLI. At the end of 2021 I wrote a list of the best command line apps I use on the regular. In that rundown I spotlighted btop, a powerful and engaging alternative to top, and intro’d ncdu, an awesome, interactive replacement for the regular du command, written in Ncurses. This week I came across a similarly flashy “replacement” for another command that I use from time to time: df. Df is a command line basic that relays file system :sys_more_orange:

Is ‘jnrl’ the Best Journaling App for the Command Line?

Want to log your thoughts and memories without leaving the command line? A reader recently mailed in to tell me about an app called jrnl, a journaling app with a difference: it’s designed to be used from a terminal, not a web browser or mobile app. Now, journaling isn’t for everyone (I don’t keep a journal myself) but you can use this app as a general purpose notebook or jotter to log your thoughts, ideas, musings, experiments, and so on in. If I’d known about jrnl when writing my list of command line apps for Ubuntu I dare say I’d :sys_more_orange:
