Search engines that work in Links2?
I think I'm closing in on some better #CLI tools.
#kitty - terminal emulator
#tmux - terminal multiplexer
#tmuxp - preconfigured tmux sessions
#mosh - ssh that reconnects if you switch networks
#newsboat - RSS feeds
#offpunk - gemini/gopher browser
#links2 - CLI web browser
#timg - CLI image viewer
#tailscale - for LAN access
Anyone else have some cool terminal apps they love?
Hey links2 users! I know there is the "-g" switch which will open up a GUI, but is there a way to click on an image link in the text interface and have it display in the terminal with timg?

I'm a bit off-color again this week, so let's just all share our personal #computer #basics.

NO-JS Fingerprinting (slight return)

Special thanks to @Reiddragon
No Javascript Browser fingerprinting - experimental warfare in #links2

edit: just a side note, thanks to another fellow links2gangster, you can supply links2 with some completely arbitrary header, which will change the fingerprint: ie
links -g -http.extra-header "Accept: $RANDOM/$RANDOM" https://noscriptfingerprint.com/
But I suppose the best practice would be to rotate real (useless?) headers, as this will potentially make the browser stand out.
Thanks @smoon

PELADN Link S-2 is an OCuLink graphics dock for under $100
Last year mini PC maker PELADN launched an external graphics dock called the PELADN Link S1 that allowed you to add a desktop graphics card to any PC with a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or compatible USB4 port. Now the company has launched a new model with an OCuLink connector for higher-speed connections to a PC.
The new PELADN Link S-2 is available now from the SZBox store at AliExpress for $87.
The dock measures 253 x 162 x 41mm (10″ x 6.4″ x 1.6″) and has an open-air design: it’s not a case that houses a graphics card, it’s more of a base that holds a GPU in place and provides everything you need to connect it to a PC… assuming you’ve got a PC with an OCuLink port.
The SZBOX/PELADN Link S-2 has a PCIe x16 interface, a 24-pin ATX connector for power supply, and the dock comes with an OCuLink connector and graphics card bracket. And that’s about it.
Unlike some other external GPU solutions, this is not a USB hub, external storage device, or wireless amplifier. This is a device that’s meant for one thing and one thing only: adding a discrete GPU to a computer that might not otherwise have one, while using a high-speed OCuLink connector.
OCuLink is basically an external cabling solution for PCIe, capable of data transfer speeds up to 64 Gbps. That makes it a better fit for external GPUs than Thunderbolt 4 or earlier, which have theoretical top speeds of 40 Gbps, but real-world speeds that are often substantially lower than that. In other words, the cables aren’t fast enough to let you get all the performance you’d expect from some high-end graphics cards.
Unfortunately OCuLink isn’t as widely adopted in the commercial PC space as USB4/Thunderbolt, which means that this dock will only work with the relatively small number of mini PCs, laptops, and handhelds that have compatible ports. And since the Link S-2 graphics dock doesn’t have a USB4/Thunderbolt port, it can only be used with computers that support OCuLink. If you need something with wider compatibility, you may have to look elsewhere.
Oh, and if the design of this device looks familiar, that may be because it not only looks a lot like the original PELADN Link S1, but also like the recently released MINISFORUM DEG1, which is also a barebones eGPU dock with an OCuLink connector. The DEG1 costs a little more though: it’s currently available for $99 from the MINISFORUM website.

also, feel free to recommend other terminal-based web browsers if your favorite isn't listed
@drahardja So sad that there is no french big media almost only text websites !
#links2 (text cli web browser that display also images) and #newsboat (RSS/Atom cli reader) user here by the way ;-)
> - #links2
> - #dillo
> - #netsurf
> - #w3m
> - #lynx
I cannot overstate my approval. This list is FIRE.
I actually have images disabled in w3m becuase the performance is kinda poor, but use xlinks a lot when I actually want images.
Honorable mention: Surf, when you really, really want a modern browser with a minimum of fluff.
Also, elinks seems to be in active development again, so it definitely deserves a place on the list. :)
