To answer your question, I built it for a few reasons:

  • I wanted to learn Rust, so I used this project to do that
  • I really love TUI's and I pretty much live in my command line at work, and since I already automate everything I can to make my work life easier, I wanted to be able to do the same with my homelab
  • I think it looks cool
  • For fun. If no one else ever gets use out of it, that's okay! I just really enjoyed building it and I'm excited to build out more of it.

But also: Why not?

So really, you would only use this if you like TUIs or want a command line tool for interacting with your Servarrs. If you have no use for it, that's totally fine too!

As for container support: if you mean if there's a docker version, yes there is. If that's not what you meant, then my bad!

This is what I get for typing with a cat paw on my keyboard πŸ˜‚ thanks for pointing that out! I updated the link!

You're the first person to catch the reference! Sadly, no I'm not. But I was a prolific PSP modder as a kid so I knew his name and was very familiar with him. So, in my adult life, since he had such a big impact on me, my username is made after him! My real name is Alex so it just kind of worked.

Of course! There's a lot of work remaining to be done to add support for other features, Servarrs, etc. So contributions are very welcome! ☺️

Thank you so much! ☺️

I can't speak for other countries, but for the U.S, all weather apps get the majority of their data from the National Weather Service. This includes apps like AccuWeather. The NWS publishes all weather data free and open, so it's likely this app gets U.S. based weather information from there.

I've been working on my rendition of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate theme on piano in my spare time from work. This recording isn't perfect but this was recorded literally right before a string snapped and scared the hell out of me! I've been uploading to TikTok since I'm self taught and no one ever really gets to hear me play and I'm self conscious about it. So I'm trying to put myself out there more to get over my self consciousness!

I've also been working on creating a mock Transmission server so I can create a good demo for my side project Similar to the idea behind k9s, I've been building a rust-based TUI to manage all your standard Servarrs. I'm calling it Managarr. I'm working on getting this demo done and then I'll be implementing CI/CD. Once I can get this thing into alpha I'll open it up for contributions since I'm changing code all the time at the moment and it would just be merge conflict hell. Here's some screenshots!

 

I heard this quote recently and it really resonated with me. I went no contact with my family 3 years ago and I have enough distance now that I've grown around the pain enough to be less destabilized when I miss them. But even though I miss them and struggle to fully understand that feeling sometimes, I know that if I were to ever give them another chance, this quote will live in my head to help guide the conversations and aid my judgement.

This helped me detect that I was changing my boundaries when trying to please someone recently. That tipped me off to recognizing I was people pleasing and they were toxic.

Not sure if this will help anyone else but it definitely resonated with me and helped to keep in the back of my mind as I still struggle to learn to have healthy boundaries.

I just made the repo public! So here's a link to the Managarr repo, and here's a link to my personal Wekan board to track my progress towards the alpha-release goal.

Wow! I wasn't expecting such a positive response! Thank you so much!

I hadn't made the repo public yet because I'm still working towards getting the project into a state that I would consider fully ready for contributions. This means things like CI/CD, contribution guidelines, release pipelines, better developer experience through all of this automation, etc.

But given the overwhelming response to, I guess, the initial "announcement" that it even exists, I don't see any reason why to not just make the project public while I work towards that alpha release goal.

So here's a link to the Managarr repo, and here's a link to my personal Wekan board to track my progress towards the alpha release goal, where I'll consider the project fully ready for contributions.
