This bash alias will check the weather in Amsterdam over Tor:

alias weathernl="curl -s --socks4a 127.0.0.1:9050 -A '' 'https://wttr.in/Amsterdam,Netherlands?lang=en&A'"

If your city name contains a space, just substitute with a ”+”:

curl -s --socks4a 127.0.0.1:9050 -A '' 'https://wttr.in/Los+Angeles,California?lang=en&A'

This is one of few websites that looks like garbage in a GUI browser but great in text. Remove --socks4a 127.0.0.1:9050 if you don’t have tor proxy installed.

Text-Based User Interfaces (TUI; CLI)

Forum for advanced users who grok the power of text-based apps, the advantage of tmux/GNU screen, the keyboard and who often find the mouse a hinderance to a fast workflow. A text-based UI is also a decent escape from enshitified resources.

This forum broadly covers tools, hacks, and advocacy of text-based environments.

Slightly marginally kind of related:
