13 hours ago“closing down streets” in the headline feels like some pro-car propaganda. The streets are actually more open now: you can walk or cycle anywhere you want, without being threatened by 2-ton steel boxes going at terrifying speeds with poorly trained humans in control, which we somehow decided everyone should use to get around.
I have a slightly more advanced setup which uses post-command hooks to send a desktop notification when a command has been running for over 3 seconds. That notification contains the elapsed time and the exit code too, and plays a different sound depending on whether the command was successful or not. This allows for some neat integrations with KDE connect to let me know when some long compile has finished or something even when I’m away from my computer. You can see how it works here.
