KTeaTime: A customizable tea steeping timer application from the KDE project: https://apps.kde.org/kteatime/

@mckinley@mckinley.cc I just keep the tea bag in my cup until the cup is empty.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org same here. I will save RAM, storage, and CPU cycles for other things. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@anthony.buc.ci I do the same. I just thought it was interesting.

Haha, @bender@twtxt.net! :-D

@mckinley@twtxt.net Usually, I get away with sleep 5m; echo -e "\aSomething, something". For longer waiting periods (checking on laundry, cake, etc.) I often want to know how much time is left, so I built this lengthy shell script: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/gelbariab/-/blob/master/srem/srem?ref_type=heads

Unfortunately, I don’t remember where I got ringring.ogg from. Maybe it was shipped with KAlarm in KDE 3.5. I think it had the option to ring an alarm clock. That’s useful when watching a video in fullscreen.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I just might have to snag that for my ~/.local/bin. I like that magic spell using sed for --help. That’s a really smart way to do it.

@mckinley@twtxt.net weird you mentioned my with the anthony.buc.ci account. I am assuming these kind of bugs were never addressed by @prologic@twtxt.net. :-(

Thank you! Sure, go on, @mckinley@twtxt.net, please help yourself! :-) It took me some time to simplify the magic spell to a single sed invocation.

Actually, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I couldn’t live without a bell in my prompt either. It’s so neat in combination with URxvt.urgentOnBell: true in my ~/.Xdefaults. Comes in handy every single day.

My self-winding watch just shows me the time.
