  1. Ever wanted to use the entirety of stdin as an argument to your Bash command, newlines and special characters and all, and without any Bash expansion/globbing/escaping magic? No? Just me?

    Anyway, the magic incantation is `"$(</dev/stdin)"`. If you're gonna be typing at your terminal, remember Ctrl+D will end your message.

    I mostly use it for adding annotations to Taskwarrior tasks, but maybe commit messages with `git commit -m "$(</dev/stdin)"` and similar might also be useful.

  2. After starting at my new job, I thought it might be a good idea to adopt as many of the default tools as possible. And to be clear: I still think it is worth trying. But one thing I learned: Using a kanban board for my TODOs is not what I need. I'm back to Taskwarrior and I love it.

  4. One more #android #taskwarrior app that works, it syncs, it writes to your calendar, it has dark mode.

  6. A Nice working #taskwarrior #Android app.
    It uses taskchampion for sync.
    It is faster than the one from ccsync, my only issue is that does not have dark mode.

  8. I found an old .ical file containing a bunch of "todo" items I'd made years ago, and imported it into TaskWarrior.

    A lot of the tasks were ideas for future projects I never got around to and never will, some of them were things I'd actually done and could tick off.

    Now I need to figure out how to manage a "maybe someday" backlog with TaskWarrior. I was just going to leave those issues as untagged and unprioritised, but it also boosts the priority of a task based on its age, so now these years-old tasks are near the top of my list. :/

  9. Oh, look! Someone made a command line feed reader using #Taskwarrior and #Git as if we needed another way to procrastinate efficiently while pretending to be productive. 😂 Just what we were missing: an overly complicated way to read news that makes you feel like a hacking genius when all you're doing is reading cat memes. 🐱🤓

  11. @Evergreen0628 depends if your girlfriend is the kind that likes managing her tasks via a command-line #Taskwarrior TUI, otherwise I can't be of any help here :(

  12. How do you manage your task list? If you're not happy with your current setup, give a try---it's a really lean, simple yet powerful and extensible tool for managing tasks. It also includes in-built syncing features so that you can use across multiple devices.

    Recently, I needed to split tasks into smaller tasks. I came up with a quick script:

  14. New blog post: blog.mei-home.net/posts/taskwa

    My magnum opus on Taskwarrior, a task management CLI tool.

    It contains a small attempt at creative writing, even. If I can figure out how to put in a bit of creative writing without obscuring technical details too much, The Acolyte will likely make some more appearances.

  16. Aha, solution found: github.com/GothenburgBitFactor

    The trick is removing the "project" from the "verbose" setting, which removes the display of the remaining tasks percentage in a project. It seems that computation currently takes too long, and I can live without it for now.

  18. Well, so much for this one. I really can't wait a couple of seconds before my terminal becomes usable again just because I tried something as outrageous as adding another tag to a task.

    But hey, at least this program that has never once crashed on me in over a decade of extensive usage is now safe from those dastardly memory bugs. 🎉

  20. Okay. It became slower. And I mean: A lot slower. With the previous versions, all commands besides "list the details of the 24k tasks in my database" became a hell of a lot slower. They were instant before. Anything actually modifying the task database is now decidedly not-instant anymore. 😔

  22. I'm doing something scary today: I'm finally migrating my Taskwarrior (taskwarrior.org/) install to the new major version. That thing's controlling my life, and has done so for over 10 years now. It holds everything, from project tasks and new ideas both private and for work to reminders for birthdays, tax dates and so on and so forth. And TW 3.0 was basically a complete rewrite (in Rust, of course...), with new sync backends.

    Here goes nothing. 😬

  24. #taskwarrior Problem:

    task 9 has tasks 1-7 as dependencies.

    report.list lists them in the correct order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

    report.long, on the other hand, lists them in 1, 3, 4, 2, 5, 6, 7, so task 2 isn't where it belongs.

    I've looked at the details and experimented with "show report", but nothing changes this behavior. What am I missing?

  25. #taskwarrior Problem:

    task 9 hat task 1-7 als Abhängigkeiten.

    report.list listet sie wie es sich gehört in richtiger Reihenfolge 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 auf.

    report.long dagegen in 1,3,4,2,5,6,7 also task 2 nicht dort, wo es hingehört.

    Mit "show report" habe ich mir die Details angesehen und herum experimentiert, doch nichts ändert dieses Verhalten. Was übersehe ich?

  26. users: how do you use the `start` and `stop` workflow? I want to keep track of tasks that are "in-progress", but it seems that it requires one to `start` a task and then leave it running until it's `done`---stopping a task removes the start date and `task active` no longer shows the task.

    An alternative is to use a special tag, like `+wip` that is separate from the `start`/`stop` workflow.

    I use to track the time spent on different tasks.

  27. Abandoné las apps de productividad modernas y volví a la terminal. ¿El resultado? Más control, más poder y un sistema que realmente funciona para mí.

    ¿Una app en la CLI que sincroniza con Nextcloud, Notion, Google Calendar y GitHub? Sí, y en el nuevo episodio de Random Geekery te cuento cómo lo hice. 🚀

  28. Ahhhh got my taskchampion-sync-server set up again. The Docker instructions in the repository really helped.

    We've now come full circle. Five days since last #emacs incident.
